If you want to visit the Iban people (indigenous) you have to stay there at least one night. The hotel is in a beautiful and quiet place (unless you take a room near to the generator’s building). The manager and employees are Iban so do not expect very quickly and flexible service. If you go there take with you water,... more

This is a perfect place to relax in the middle of Borneo, near the jungle, you can have half day trip up to the river, see animals, visit the local 'ibans', very interesting, nice people. Hotel is perfect like HIlton in general. more

Just came back from Batang Ai Hilton. We were there on Xmas day, stayed for 2 nights. 1st the distance there take 4hrs by car and everything there is overpriced, a can of beer is RM21. A trip to visit long house is RM180++/pax, which is a total ripped off, nothing to see, nothing impressive, a total waste of time,... more

We stayed two nights at Batang Ai as the end of a month long journey to see ethnic people throughout Indonesia and Malaysia. Once you get on cramped transfer van with four complete strangers the trip does not take 3.5 hours as described on Hilton website. It takes 4-5 at minimum depending on which tourist stops the driver makes. On... more

We spent one night at the Longhouse Resort after a days treking in the rainforest. The rooms were comfortable but fairly basic - no minibar. Food was good from the menu - can't comment on the buffet. We probably wouldn't stay there again for the simple reason that it had no atmosphere. The location is excellent - beside the lake... more

I loved loved loved the Hilton Batang Ai. I stayed here for 1 night over a weekend mid September 2009. For Rm250 a night, this place was AWESOME. It was set in a beautiful location with clear blue water and jungles. For Rm250, my room was spacious, clean, and even had a walk in closet. My only complaint was that... more

Be warned - as others have stated the trip from Kuching to Batang ai is not for the faint hearted! (6 hours - broken by stops at a market and to visit a pepper farm - both extremely interesting) - but well worth the ride! The loos at the jetty where you catch the launch out to the hotel left... more

My mum and I spent two nights here, (my mum had wanted to go since many years ago). My interest in the place was also aroused as recently, the by-elections were held for the Batang Ai constituency. On the way here, we stopped at the Serian market, which was colourful, we saw sago worms, lots of unusual fruits/vegetables that we... more

After a long and at times terrifying mini bus ride from Kuching arriving at the Batang Ai resort is quite magical. The location is stunning perched on the edge of the Batang Ai lake with the jungle rising behind it. You are greeted on arrival with a cool drink and the staff go out of their way to make your... more
