Looks nice upon arrival but it seems that almost everyone has to suffer the same poor amenities for a ridiculous price. I personally was lucky as I travelled with a friend who is local to the area. If I had not then i'm sure I would have been scammed for the same over the top prices as the other few... More

The place is quite simply dreadful for the US$50-60 they charged us per night, it appears to be fairly far from park HQ (which is where your bound to have most of your activity happening). There's virtually no one manning the place and the restaurants, The rooms are musty, dark, no facilities, no towels, soaps, toilet paper, no electricity after... More

Benerat Inn is a collection of flimsy terraced chalets elevated on stilts set into a 3 sided quadrangle about 1.5km outside the entrance to Gunung Mulu National Park. Rooms have cold showers and appear to come in twin and triple beds. It’s run by Tropical Adventure Tours & Travel (www.borneotropicaladventure.com), in Miri and they will try to sell you a... More

nice kampong-style accommodation in the middle of the mulu national park, with a river running just next to it. this gives a really relaxing feeling when dining at the common dining hall, if you're seated overlooking the river. the food served, though simple, are not bad at all and of decent portion. one down side is that the whole resort...

I'll start with the good: the park guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable and helpful, and went out of his way to make sure that we were happy. If it hadn't been for him I definitely would have been banging on the doors of Tropical borneo demanding a refund. However... the experience overall was poor. They don't tell you until... More

As for the other review of this hotel, we also booked with Tropical adventure agency. Note that hotel is also known as Benarat Lodge. We booked a 4 days/3 nights trip @ 849 RM per person. The main objective was the Pinnacles Climb. This package included flights from and to Miri including taxes, all meals, 1 night at the Benarat... More

The Benarat Inn has the potential to be a decent budget alternative in Mulu, where your options are very limited, if it only received some TLC and a better company to manage the property. We stayed one night, August 2010 as a part of a package with Tropical Adventure Tours and Travel based in Miri , the only way I... More
