See my other reply as well.
There is only 1 place to stay: Borneo Rainforrest Lodge (BRL).
Not many people go here, only nature-lovers so don't expect a 5 star resort.
Partly i presume because it's a tough ride into the lodge from Lahud Datu,
and it's quite expensive....

We've been there twice and will return there some more times. It paradise if
you like pretty much unspoilt rainforrest.
There some trails for hiking, which are very nice but there are some
(harmless) leeches around.
Last time we saw gibbons, orang utan, many beautifull birds, etc.
Paul.

You could in the Spring of last year. That's where I stayed. A friend
of mine went back in November and got the run around. They wanted him
to book a tour. He didn't bite, but I think, even then he would have
been able to stay at the Field Center. The Field Center is a bit pricey
by regional standards but nothing like BRL.
