Overall Ratings & Reviews Sukau Greenview Bed & Breakfast

Very amazing,village panoramic,friendly people nearby

It was a last minute decision to stay but it was great... Friendly, helpful staff, basic but comfortable lodgings,... A good choice

Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the river cruise organisation was very efficient. Room was clean, but the ghastly lime green walls clashing with the brown curtains falling off the rails was quite off putting.

Fantastic place to do river cruises. The staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the wildlife. The food was good and had pricing options for those not on a package like me. I loved my stay. My only issue is that the rooms are very damp and mouldy. It is the rainforest and overall I would recommend.

Reasonable room. Air con worked. Was clean enough, but the sink was blocked on arrival. It's an old place and showing it's age. Quite expensive for what you get, but better value I think than other places in Sukau.

It’s very basic, but great for wildlife photography and viewing. The food is good, no alcohol, but otherwise a great and reasonable place to stay. I would come back.

The reason you are there is for the boat rides which are excellent. Everything else about this location is very overpriced.

The location is amazing, directly on the banks of the Kinabatangan river. It is local and basic accomadatiin but goid value for money,, dinner and all the river trips arranged by the lidge are great. The kittens were an added entertainment!

We spent 2 nights in Sukau Greenview and we had a great stay there. The lodge organised our pick up from Sepilok and drop off in Sandakan for a fee. We enjoyed the lodge peaceful setting by the river. We went for morning and afternoon river cruise organised by the lodge. We saw many monkeys, some birds, lizards and snakes. Binoculars would be handy as most of the wildlife we saw from some distance. The staff are very polite and helpful. There is free coffee & tea & water available in lodge main building. The meals were simple and tasty. Great value for money.

You're in the jungle so don't expect much and you'll be ok, it is after all a £20 room with aircon. The flyscreens have seen better days and there's holes in them. There's no glass in some of the window vents in our room. The food was so so and dearer than the restaurant up the road so I suggest eating there instead. You don't get a choice of meal, just 'food'! The place is ok, sukau backpackers looked much nicer but no aircon and maybe less good trips. So the tours are good and the guides can be knowledgeable. We saw something on each outing if not the elephants. If you arrange the minivan back to sandakan be warned ours spent a lot of time looking at photos on his phone and not on the road. In the end I had to say something as it was dangerous, after that he drive like Sterling Moss. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Great Staff, Great Tours, Clean, overall I would definitely recommend

Enjoyed our two nights at Greenview. Very clean and tidy, Jiang runs a tight ship and she was very efficient and organised. Better explanation of tours would be good. Our afternoon cruise was very basic and the guide was not an expert... he didn't know the name of the smaller river we went on. The captain new more... but didn't speak English. Our second cruise was to Abai fishing village. Very luckily we found the elephants eating beside the river. A big group with many little ones. We spent about half an hour watching them before they disappeared into the jungle. Magical. Then on to the village for dinner at a home stay. Meal delicious and a lovely family. Our guide Rossmore? Ross man? (Sorry can't remember) was excellent. Captain of boat was excellent. Fireflies in trees on the way back. Rooms could be improved with a mirror in the bathroom or on the wall, more hooks on the wall or shelves and a chair to sit on. WiFi was nonexistent the entire time. Meals good. Simple meal was adequate for me and represented good value. Cats sit and walk on the tables. Free tea, coffee, water and ice all the time. Recommend you bring own supplies of drinks and snacks as very little available. No tourism locally... not even a t shirt.

Well worth a visit if you want to stay by the Kinabatangan. Friendly helpful staff. Food is local and tasty. Good range of trips and tours available - moderately priced. Guides are knowledgeable. Fabulous comfy seats overlooking the river.

Rooms are basic, but of great value for the price, and come equipped with everything you need (including a can of Raid!! Very clean rooms, but it is the jungle). They give wonderful boat tours of the river at a very reasonable price. We weren't fortunate enough to see the elephants, but the guides had an encyclopedic knowledge of the wildlife (of which we saw a ton! Proboscis, orangutang, macaques for days, etc), and they went as far as extending the sunset cruise to inquire with villagers as to where the elephants might be. If they're out there, I imagine they'll find them. Wonderful time! We didn't get the package and found that was more economical for us. Still did two cruises a day, plus easy to find walking paths of your own

I stayed in the dorm (spacious with AC, fans, ensuite and a comfy bed), great value. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great guided tours.

This is a great place to stay and do river cruises, walks, etc. It is an easy, inexpensive way to experience Borneo’s nature and wildlife.

Lovely staff. Very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. This is a great location. Seen alot of wild life.

My husband and I stayed only for 1 night - we planed to do one afternoon cruise and one morning cruise. Long story short we ended up regretting that we didn't stay longer. The staff has helped us with a transfer from our previous stay in Sepilok, and we have arrived just in time for the cruise. We were greeted by the staff at the premises and briefed about the location, activities etc. Everything is sooo well thought and planned, you are not losing any time there. The staff has optimized the process to the max, great job guys!! The river cruises were absolutely great both of them. We saw a lot of wildlife, proboscis monkeys, birds and even an orangutan. That is what we came for. The guides were full of knowledge and excellent at pointing out wildlife. We had the most basic and delicious breakfast here, fried noodles with vegetables and an egg on top. The room was really big, unfortunately the hot water did not work, but we were so tired to bring it up to the staff as it was late, but for sure they would have fixed it if we asked. The only minus of the room was the bed - quite lumpy and uncomfortable. Overall, GREAT value for money, highly recommend the place. Also the Wi-fi in the restaurant area was impressively good for the middle of the nature.
