Evrythings great. Really value for money.

providing 4 meals and staff are all super friendly and helpful！

If you decide to stay at this place you do not book only a hotel room, it's the whole experience at Mantanani Island will get. The owners Fred and SP are two very lovely people and enjoy to have a talk with you. SP is a great cook, probably we got the best food on our whole trip in Borneo. The location of the Lodge is perfect as you can swim, go snorkling or also kayak to the close smaller island. If you want to visit the beautiful beach at the end of the island (horn) you have to walk a bit longer but the whole path is beach. The rooms are comfortable and big. The fact that the lodge is built with lot of recycled materials and energy supply is sustainable has to be appreciated and does not make it less comfortable. Regarding waste (plastic) on the island (not at the private lodge beach) you might be disappointed as you can find quite a lot but staying some more days and talking with the owners you will start to understand the problem much better and nevertheless the island is a really beautiful place! Covid has left its marks (many abandoned places) but in return you can nearly find any tourists on the island. The journey to get to the island from Kota Kinabalu is quite long and not very cheap, so I would recommend to stay at least 2 or 3 nights there. Fred will help you to organize the transport. To sum it up: If you have time and would like to enjoy some peaceful time on an island a bit off the track I can totally recommend to stay with Greenhouse Ecolodge which is definitely the best place to stay on Mantanani! Thank you for the beautiful experience!
