We saw the big 5 during our trip which was mainly due to Omar our guide.
 The whole experience from airport collection, boat transfer, food, lodge and in particular the river cruises were handled very efficiently. 
 All the staff were great. Very welcoming and helpful. A great organisation and highly recommended.

Stayed for 3 d/2n in shared room. Had a great time! 

Pros: good amount of river rides with committed guides; saw orangutans, crocodiles, Proboscus monkeys, and many others; each multiple times. Rooms are nice, good food options, friendly staff, and pick up/drop off is a big plus for a pretty long (2 hr) ride. Some past reviews said boat rides can be repetitive which worried me, but it was an advantage to have multiple attempts to see animals, and even if you see the same ones, you see them in a different context. 

To be desired: jungle walks aren’t great, but the place is more set up for the river. The jungle walk ads-on is essentially just a short walk around the lodging rather than a real trek. Hopefully they can develop that a little bit over time if the space allows for it. 

Note: don’t expect to see animals super close (sometimes you will though! We saw a croc pretty up close), but that’s to be expected (otherwise you’d just go to a zoo). Seeing animals in their natural habitat, even if far away, was much more enjoyable than seeing them up close in the sanctuaries 

Lastly, staff was great. Eg I had some dietary needs that they both remembered and handled very easily without making it feel like an annoyance.

Very good guides who knew how to give you the best experience. Good food and comfy beds. We managed to see all the borneo big 5's except the elephant which we missed by 5 mins.
