Stay here one night before going to Camp 5 with a group of friends. When I reach there, it is raining very heavily. 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

Undergoing upgrade to 5*Marriot Resort. They have a long way to go in facilities and staffing! Rooms were excellent. Food only passable, not exceptional. Reception staff OK..Easy access to river boats, some wildlife around the hotel. We do not normally stay in upmarket hotels but booked through an agent in KK, would have done much better staying in Park HQ... More

Obviously, you cannot be expecting an international 5 or 6 stars hotel in the middle of the jungle. The place is peaceful, clean, and quiet. Wooden houses are built high from the ground. I was travelling with my aunt who is 55 years old and with my boyfriend. The resort is reasonable price (but expensive compared to any of the... More

My husband and I stayed at this resort early March. The hotel looked like a construction site! It was undergoing major renovations and the pool had been closed for months, but we were not informed of this when we booked and the rates were not cheap either. And it looked like the hotel was in cahoots with MASwings which was... More
