Lack of maintenance and any attempt to provide any interesting activities left us bored. The wildlife is the only saving grace to this establishment.

Rustic Stay in the Jungle
This place is a blast from the past, keep that in mind and enjoy. The location is an amazing look into the National Park and seems to be mostly for a day or two before or after a klotok trip. Friendly service by mostly locals and tons of wildlife in the area. The rooms are rustic but clean considering how remote it is.

Facilities are extremely basic, perhaps understandable given location. However no excuse for unpleasant condition of bathroom with toilet in particular in desperate need of a proper clean. Stench at times overwhelming

Perfect location to go and see those wonderful Orangutans and a fantastic 2nd option if you don't want to sleep on the boat. Rooms are basic but you are the in JUNGLE so more than adequate

Fantastic location if you want to see the Orangutans. The village is worth a visit too. The hotel restaurant is good and not too expensive but trips are pricey c. £130 pp for a day. It’s worth noting that the hotel only takes cash (Rupiah and possibly US dollars) so take plenty with you, there’s no ATM for 20 miles! If you fly from Jakarta the domestic terminal has no facility to change money

Great place
Staff were very friendly, rooms were comfortable with a/c. The jungle tour was an amazing experience. Mr Hakim was very informative and friendly.

Rustic rooms. Expensive, but the only option
The rooms have air conditioning, but they are not well insulated. The shower has no tub/basin or curtain, so water covers the bathroom floor and it stays wet. Not sure why, but that’s common in Indonesia. The staff was nice. The WiFi is dial-up-slow. This place is just a step up from sleeping on one of the river boats, but it’s the only other option, so if you’re going to see the orangutans at Tanjung Puting, I recommend it.

Zeer dure en vuile bedoening
Zeer dure lodge voor een vuile kamer waar de vuiligheid van vorige mensen nog in lag. We vroegen om excursies te doen en ze gingen iets laten weten. We zijn ondertussen thuis en weten nog altijd niets. De pick up en drop off was telkens ongeveer 100 euro terwijl de bevolking het voor 30 euro doet Het diner kost ook 3 a 4 maal zoveel dan in andere gewone hotels . Er word niets deftig onderhouden en alles draait om geld. Wifi is niet gratis zoals gemeld word maar kost 6 euro per uur. En een eco lodge, wel dan mogen ze wel wat zuiniger omspringen met hun energie. Lichten volop de ganse nacht door. Er word gemeld van wandel en fietspaden. Je kan rond de kleine gebouwen een beetje rond dwarrelen maar een fiets, dat kennen ze daar niet. Het enige wandelpadje dat er is werd helaas afgesloten en als ze geen excursie doen of aanbieden zoals bij ons wel dan zijn het hele lange dagen Algoed dat de apen je af en toe nog een bezoekje brengen

thank you for visiting Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge. Your feedback will be reference to improve our services in the future. this is a special forest lodge the location of our lodge is in the middle of the forest which is indeed the atmosphere like that which is the attraction of the lodge itself. for wifi wasn't free actually (see the detail of property facilities) because the cost and maintenance was very expensive to install the internet in the middle of the forest. and few guests complained about it. Thank you for your stay and support

簡素な構造です。部屋数が多いエコロッジでした。木道を歩きたかったのですが、ロッジの外の木道は、壊れてました。食事は、簡素で手も掛かっいません。ツアー客が多いので、部屋数が多いのかと思います。ペットボトルミネラルウオーターを売っていましたが、詰め替え用の水はありません。エコロッジなら、ペットボトルを減らす工夫があっても、いいかなと思います。個人旅行者には、送迎の費用がかかり、きびしいと思います。
