3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

Stayed in June. Hotel still being renovated with pool and much else out of operation. It will clearly be fabulous when finished. That being said, it is still the "swankiest" place in Mulu, which is after all in the Jungle with no roads in or out - except for that going to the single airstrip in the forest. And you... More

We had to stay here as we could only stay one night at National Park HQ (which our friends had very correcty recommended to us). The place is undergoing some serious renovation and there are no leisure facilities of any note (pool is nowhere near completion at the moment). The price of food and drinks borders on extortion (and even... More

We stayed out of desperation despite generally poor reviews- we did not plan in advance and Royal Mulu was the only accommodation for the National Park available within the timeframe we were visiting. The National Park is incredible but could not make up for the awful, overpriced accommodation at Royal Mulu Resort. Previous poor reviews were completely accurate. Booking -... More

Reception is not friendly, they don't like to smile but they have prepare the room keys for us. No welcome drink. Even it is raining and slippery floor and dark at night, we need to find the... More

Wow, the worst hotel experience of our lives! We expected some building work as we were informed before our stay but this is MAJOR works with nothing but your room and the dining canteen area remaining. We were welcomed with a cold towel but that was about the nicest thing that happened to us the 2 nights we spent there.... More

Felt cheated, really did... We booked a 2D1N Mulu Package out from Miri inclusive of flight and hotel (which was this Royal Mulu Resort) and that cost us RM1478. Firstly this pricing is really steep taking into consideration we only flew out 30mins from Miri and there wasn't much touring involved. Nevertheless when I booked six months ago, they very... More

Booked a package through a tour agency for convenience although very pricey. This was more for the comfort of my wife and a young grand daughter.On my first visit 15 years ago, we stayed in a chalet belonging to the National Park and it was comfortable and convenient as it was closer to the Park's office. The hotel is undergoing... More

This resort complex is currently undergoing a massive restoration project, which will completely transform it; in the meantime frankly it is just awful. We came to Mulu to visit the caves (which should be on everyone’s must do list, they are really worth a visit) and choice of accommodation was limited to either the National Park Lodge, or the Royal...

We stayed here for two nights. The resort is under renovation but that didnt make any difference to us (apart from maybe the pool being closed, but it rains every afternoon anyway so dont think we would have actually used it). Our room was really clean and a good size, we had a lizard visit us a few times but... More

When I first booked this hotel I had been given the impression this was the only place to stay in Mulu.. That the Nationsl Park accommodations were not good. This is a LIE told to me by greedy tour operators! First. Do not book through a tour operator! They charge double what you will pay to do it yourself! Book... More
