We had such a great time at this serene resort. It was a great escape from the hot and humid, hustle of the city. The resort is surrounded by beautiful lake scenery and has a constant breeze, making the environment cooling and comfortable. The chalets have a spacious balcony facing the lake, and an attached small bathroom. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. There were not a lot of mosquitoes throughout our trip. 

The food was amazing and Borhan, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and super accommodating. The resort itself has a game room, karaoke system, and ameneties for fishing and kayaking. There is no/limited WiFi however, and it would be great if they are able to provide WiFi for communication purposes as certain mobile carriers have no coverage there. All in all, a great place and would highly recommend if you are looking to disconnect from city life!

Amazing peaceful getaway!

We really loved our stay at Belum Eco Resort. Especially because of Bohan. What a great man! He is the boat man, tour guide, host and jungle man. He is a little bit shy and insecure about his English language, but that’s not needed. He is fantastic! 

The rooms are basic, so don’t expect a luxury stay, but the view over the lake was wonderful. The food was really, really good and we played with the little dogs and had fun with the talking birds at the entrance. 

We did kayaking and swimming in the lake in our free time. We did not see elephants, but that’s nature. We loved our time here and really recommended it! 

Kind regards, Tom and Loes 

Pieceful and amazing jungle experience!

The best part of our trip is the tour guide -- Bohan, who took care of everything, from logistic to accommodation, jungle trekking to chatting/cultural exchange after dinner. 
The chalet is nice and cozy, and with ample space to put our stuff and hang our clothes. It was nice to shower in the bathroom which has a window view of the nature. The weather was good so we didn't find going to the detached bathroom annoying or inconvenient. Each chalet has a painting/art piece next to the door, which shows the artistic sense of the owner.
The bamboo lunch box is very unique and sustainable. Each one of us carried our bamboo lunch box to jungle trekking and had our lunch at the waterfall after a refreshing time in the cool water. 
The resort is built and run sustainably. It is so good to see tourism operators who have sustainable mindset and don't consume/pollute our jungle for the sake of money. 
We saw a blooming rafflesia, several species of eagles, hornbills, heron, lantern bug, centipede, etc. There is so much more to explore and learn from the 130 million years rainforest.

Great hospitality from Bohan (tour guide)!

Belum rainforest is far less famous than its counterpart Taman Negara, but is no doubt as interesting and immersive.

This was a fantastic 3D2N getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life and back into nature. Don't expect a 5* Langkawi resort, but do expect well thought out, comfortable, clean accommodations with hot showers and some really yummy food. We picked pucuk paku from the forest, saw 4 blooming Rafflesias and had a swim in the cold waterfall.

Unique experience in Malaysia

The adventure begins when you step into the speedboat and fasten your life vest. Skimming over the sun-kissed waters of Lake Banding reflecting blue skies and jade green forests, you have an hour to enjoy clean air and watch out for hornbills. 

Accomodation
Rooms are well planned and thought through. Loved the outdoor deck with shower and toilet .. far enough from the room for privacy and near enough to be convenient. Sitting on the deck, looking out onto the lake .. watching the fishing and kayakking enthusiasts while drinking coffee or sipping wine makes for a good holiday.

Activities
Our group of 30pax were able to fish, hike, swim and canoe during the day. At night we bonded over two great dinners - steamboat on the first night and bbq on the second. 

Thank you Steve and Susan for sharing your dream island with us! Your energy is truly inspiring. It is your warmth, generosity and hospitality which make this place so special. It feels like you are sharing your home with family and friends!

Great fishing and fish-eating trip!

One of the best trips that I ever had for a long while! 

Belum Eco Resort is a rustic, tranquil, and eco-friendly resort, hosted by a friendly and accommodating couple, Steve and Susan.

Upon arriving at the Pulau Banting Jetty, we were greeted by Mr. Borhan, the friendly and helpful boat captain that day. We were ushered to a lovely comfortable boat-house. The journey was smooth and scenic, and the lake is magnificent! 

Due credit to Borhan - he is an efficient and knowledgeable guide, a good photographer, boatman - he is generally a 'Jack of all trades.'

The accommodation is a rustic chalet type, but clean with a separate bathroom and washbasin with a spacious balcony overlooking the lake. However, the resort does not provide basic toiletries and amenities.

The food in the resort was simple yet, delicious, and generously served. To sum up my stay here - FANTASTIC! It's a highly recommended destination for those who need a 'back to nature' holiday with friends and family.

FANTASTIC!

Back to nature after months of lock down...an eco stay at the eco resort in an eco environment with a group of eco senior buddies....met up with the eco friendly owner (hubby and wife)...shared with us the experiences of staying in the island.
Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at the resort and the activities there; swimming in the cold clean dam, fishing, canoeing, bird watching....

"A refreshing get away from the pandemic"

It’s hard to sum up the feeling of staying here.  The property is beautiful, lush with plants, the cottages are so cozy, and with their own balconies and semi outdoor showers.  The lake water was freshwater and warm for swimming.  The hosts Steve and his wife were wonderful.  The food was plentiful and delicious, many local dishes.  The kids loved afternoon tea and cakes.  But best of all was going on safari each day by boat and/or hike.  Our guide Borhan was so knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating and took us to many different parts of the lake.  We saw 2 packs of wild boars, hornbill birds, a monitor lizard, otters, a large fowl I can’t remover the name of, and a monkey. We saw all the signs of elephants, the dung, footprints, the mud on the trees where they scratch, the saltlick.  It was thrilling looking for them and sleeping just knowing they were in the forest somewhere around us.   We saw the rafflesia flower in its early stages as it wasn’t near blooming time.  We went on the 4 day 3 night Temmengor tour which I recommend.  We went by easy and inexpensive coach bus from Butterworth to a jetty where the hosts picked us up.  They were very helpful prior to arriving with figuring out transport and helped us get transport back too.  This was by taxi which was very convenient and reasonable as the bus back would have required a transfer and much longer.  I would highly recommend staying here.

Absolutely amazing!

We (2 adults, 3 Kids) stayed 4 nights at this unique place. Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings and welcoming feeling. The small huts are basic but comfortable with a small terrace with nice views over the lake. There is a big common area where you can hang around, drink tea, play games, look at the forrest and lake, talk and relax. Or go down to the lake to take a swim.
We went on several trips with our good guide Burhan - saw a lot of elephant pooh(!), a group of wild boar, hornbill and many butterflies and other insects.
This place is really made with love to the nature and an invitation to indulge and learn about the forrest.

Beautiful and friendly

My son and myself had wonderful time in Belum Eco Resort just before 2019 Christmas. My son's favorite was fishing and the hotel owner did everything for my son to succeed: we had the freshly caught by 9 years old fish for our dinner :). Eventually, Belum Eco Resort offers a unique combination of remoteness and tranquility, and at the same time one can keep themselves as busy at he wants. We loved our daily excursions. We loved a company of total strangers, which turned out to be nice, friendly, interesting people. We had quite a few easygoing talks with the hotel owner, and enjoyed them a lot. Definitely we are looking forward to visit beautiful, clean, refreshing Belum Eco Resort again: it's less than 3 hours drive from humid, hot, busy Penang where we are living. And the road didn't cause us any problem at all.
