Staying at Tabin Wildlife Resort was a truly unique experience, surrounded by breathtaking nature and wildlife. The rooms were comfortable and offered a great view of the river, but one downside was the brief power outages. The service from the staff was exceptional, making sure we had everything we needed during our trip. The food was tasty and plentiful, although it could have been more diverse. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with great value for money considering the immersive jungle experience.

The lodge has incredible potential with its amazing wildlife viewing opportunities and knowledgeable guides, but it sadly feels neglected and service needs improvement. The dining experience is decent with ample food, but the overall ambiance lacks the charm it once had. It's a unique place for nature lovers, though it could use some investment to restore its former glory.

Our stay at Tabin was an unforgettable jungle adventure! We enjoyed the lush surroundings and remarkable wildlife sightings, especially seeing orangutans and gibbons. The guides were top-notch and enhanced our experience, but we did encounter some issues with rodent problems in our room, which made the stay less than ideal. Overall, it's a wonderful place for nature enthusiasts, yet improvements in accommodation cleanliness are needed.

Our stay at the riverside lodge was nothing short of amazing! The sounds of the rainforest and the wildlife sightings right from our balcony created an unforgettable experience. While the lodge's atmosphere was fantastic, the service left something to be desired, and the management could use some improvements.

Our stay at Tabin Wildlife Resort was a mix of highlights and challenges. The location is fantastic for wildlife enthusiasts, and the accommodation was comfortable and cozy. However, the physical nature of the activities was more intense than we anticipated, which may not suit everyone. Dining options were good, but adjustments could be made for those with specific dietary needs.
