This hotel can only be reached by boat and is built in the style of an Iban longhouse, which means each block (of which there are 11) consists of a row of rooms in front of which is a long 'communal area' before you rech the outside. A little unusual to say the least and not the best use of... More

If the words 'Hilton' and 'Resort' is what brought you to this hotel then it may not be the place for you because Batang Ai is unlike any hotel you've ever stayed in. My husband and I had previously stayed here for two nights as part of an escorted tour we took with the Travel Collection (now Kuoni Smart) and... More

Its a long drive to get there (around 4 hours or so with 2 stops) which I believe can be organised by the hilton in Kuching, although our transport was organised as part of our tour with Page & Moy so I can't comment on the hiltons transport... We were lucky to have an air conditioned coach and made stops... More

My husband and I stayed for one night at the Batang Ai resort in July 2011. We were accompanied by a terrific tour guide and driver as part of the Kunoni Borneo Adventure. This had to be the highlight of the whole holiday. On the long trip to the resort, we stopped for lunch and to load up with goods... More

From the confusion at the car park, the condescending gnome at reception (Oh, you are only staying one night) to the awful night's sleep, the Batang Ai took my money and left me a very unhappy traveler. We were looking for somewhere to break up the journey from Kuching to Bintulu, and it seemed the Batang Ai was the perfect... More

We stayed at Hilton Batang Ai for two nights. The hotel itself is very unique and the surrounding is beautiful. On the whole, we really enjoyed our stay (despite the rain) and we throughly enjoyed the feeling of being close to nature (especially with the Swallows and Bats that were happily swooping around you). The hotel staff were friendly and... More

We stayed for two nights in October. This hotel has the potential to be fabulous, but falls short. The bedrooms are all in longhouse style and ours was in a block close to the main part of the hotel, which was good. The downside was the bird and bat droppings in the hall area which looked as if they'd been... More
