We loved the simple but very well run Bamboo Hill. Nice roomy chalet (#1) with steps directly to the beach and a nice verandah. Plenty of room for myself & two teenagers. Spotlessly clean with a very nice bathroom. Really appreciated the kitchenette with tea, coffee & fridge. Lin , the manager, couldnt be more helpful. We also liked being... more

I refer to my review of 2008. We did return for a whole month. It is really a outdoor family resort. Everything is laid back. The daily routine of eat, snorkel/scuba, eat, rest photography (above and below water), games, snorkel/scuba, eat, rest, and hiking makes you feel you are in a never ending National Geographic nature show. What a reality... more

Arriving at the Air Batang jetty is quite something, a huge shoal of fish swimming around the jetty, the jungle right down to the beach and the only human life on this part of the island is within a few yards of the beach, the rest is luscious green jungle. One thing I would suggest when arriving is if you... more

The ABC chalets are very well situated about 10 meters from the beach. And since it's on the end of the main footpath, there are not so many people passing by. It is a quiet place and the owner can arrange a BBQ for you (when you bring your own food). So with the 6 of us, we had a... more

My husband and I have been going to this wonderful place for over 8 years now. We try to go there at least twice a year. It is not a luxury hotel but it works great for us. The view is excellent, the price is cheap, the snorkeling is fun, the balcony overlooks wonderful scenery. I have recommended this place... more

Bamboo Hill Chalets, perched on the rocks at the north end of Air Batang bay, nestling amidst the splendid rainforest and lots of bougainvillea and hibiscus - is just how we always imagined a tropical paradise. The chalets are basic, yet comfortable and the view from the terrace when you open the shutters in the morning is truly breathtaking. We... more

My husband and I stayed at Bamboo Hills for 12 nights, but easily could have stayed longer...or forever! We stayed in Chalet #2 and #3 ~ I recommend #2 as it's bigger, has a fridge, a small sofa and you don't have to share a wall with others. It is also just a few steps down to the beach ~... more

This place is lovely. I have visited several east coast Malaysian islands and this place is certainly one of the best budget chalets I have stayed at. It is clean, cool and spacious with a fantastic view from the balcony. At night we were able to turn the fan off and could let the sea breeze in! There were no... more

The Bamboo Hill Chalet's own website is a very fair reflection of the accommodation. It's basic (no hot water, no a/c) but it's beautifully positioned on a steep bank overlooking a wide bay. The transfer from the airport is by a 10 minute fast boat ride as there is no road. You may be dropped on the beach (prepare to... more
