An oasis in the middle of the city!Beautiful rooms in the middle of a wonderfully maintained park.Exceptional breakfast (homemade bread, yogurt, jam, muesli).Rizal is incredibly kind and helped us withdraw money, buy bus tickets…Only downside: the circuit (sold too expensive) to the Tankiling hills. No particular interest because the place is a dump, the orangutan sanctuary is closed and the museum is simplistic. The only major and unmissable interest: the Kaja islands where we saw the orangutans in their natural environment (magnificent!).We had booked a room with hot water but there was only cold water!

Came here during the Covid era so there was still a lockdown with no tourists and just before the new year...The concept is one with nature, lots of big trees and mosquitoes...So don't forget to bring some kind of anti-mosquito lotion here.The rooms are all wooden and traditional, the welcome is warm and kind.Overall, good experience and memorable

We stayed 3 nights in the TREE HOUSE before our 4 night / 5 day WOW BORNEO cruise on the Kahayan River, and one night afterwards in their ‘deluxe honeymoon suite’.  …

Yesterday we stayed in a tree house, even though there was no air conditioning. But it's cool, you can ask to be woken up in the morning. The service is friendly... the best. Thanks.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Bukit Raya Guesthouse. All the staff was very lovely. Rizal bakes the best bread and is a fantastic host. We did a tour into the heart of Borneo, which was a once in a lifetime experience! Bukit raya is a must go if you visit central Kalimantan

A perfect place to relax, centrally located, quiet and beautiful. All the staff and hosts are very friendly and attentive. They provide you with a quality breakfast, with a very quiet and familiar atmosphere. The rooms are very comfortable and cosy, with little corners for reading, bathing and enjoying the nature that surrounds the house. Without a doubt, if you are looking for a place to relax and have a wonderful time, this is my favourite place to stay in Palagkaraya.
