This is the sort of establishment that I really love to stay at, a bit rustic & basic but everything one needs in this wasteful world. Just a great feel about the place, comfy beds, shower and toilet worked, aircon fan etc....but most of all a verandah to sit out and enjoy the peace, the sound of the little creatures,... More

Overall this has been my 2nd stay here at Malapi in just under 2 years as I have been coming to Kinabatangan for my wildlife photography. The manager of the place is an extremely lovely person taking care of your every need here while I find the surroundings just perfect. I could not ask for any better as this is... More

Stayed two nights here. This lodge is located just down river from Sukau Rainforest Lodge, and across the river from several others. It was quite nice in comparison to other rainforest lodges we've stayed in. The room was large, with a nice balcony and the air condition was very, very, much appreciated. There really are only two tributaries the lodges... More

We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff with a welcome drink, every one is... More

But since renovation works weren’t finished by the time we would arrive, we requested... More

This is the new Proboscis Lodge (Bukit Melapi Lodge) - the old one got flooded so this one is higher up the river bank. Arrival very easy in a motor boat from the parking place, about 5 mins. Cool drink on arrival in main hall, easy check in, reasonable food. NB: if you're a veggie, try and let them know... More

The Melapi is the brand new sister hotel to the Proboscis Lodge, built a little way along the river and higher up the river bank. Accommodation is the typical arrangement of chalets located around a main lodge building. Our chalet was spacious, clean, and comfortable, if a little spartan. We were a little peeved to find that we had been... More
