The boat safari tours are amazing run by Osman, who has guided David Attenborough and other wildlife documentary film crews. He has a real passion for the wildlife in the area.
The bed was comfortable, and the food that was prepared by Oman's wife was delicious.
Nothing.

It was right on the river with easy access to the boat that Osman uses for tours. You are able to purchase lunch and dinner, which is prepared with care.
The air conditioner did not work.

Quedarnos con Osman y su familia en Osman homestay ha sido una experiencia inolvidable y que sin duda recomendaría una y mil veces a quien fuera a Kinabatangan. Nos han tratado cómo un miembro más de la familia y nos han ayudado en todo lo que han podido y más. Yantin es una persona maravillosa que siempre ha estado pendiente de nosotros y de que estuviéramos bien y a gusto. Los platos que nos ha preparado cada día han sido espectaculares y de lo más sabroso que hemos comido en nuestro viaje, un auténtico placer para el paladar y con todo cuidado al detalle.
Por otra parte está Osman, un hombre que ha conseguido hacer nuestros sueños realidad en los safaris que hemos hecho con él. Las reseñas no exageran cuando hablan de su increíble don para encontrar anímales y enseñarte lo máximo posible de la fauna y flora de esa parte de Malasia. Es todo un experto. Nos divertimos mucho con él y nos estuvo explicando todo con lujo de detalles, cada cosa que veíamos y todo lo relacionado a los anímales que lográbamos ver durante el trayecto. Es un hombre divertido y afable si sabes sacar ese lado de él. Nos estuvo contando algunas malas experiencias que ha tenido con ciertos huéspedes y entendimos porqué al principio estaba más callado. Tienes que tener en cuenta que no vas a un resort si no que te quedas con una familia a la que hay que tratar con respeto y adaptarte a su entorno y costumbres y que cada cultura es diferente a otra y no podemos pretender que los huéspedes sean los que dicten las normas. Este lugar es un lugar para conocer y estar en contacto directo con la cultura y la vida de aquí así que si te gustaría experimentar todo eso sin duda este es tu sitio y te aseguro que estarás muy feliz y cómodo. En cuanto a la habitación todo estuvo perfecto y muy limpio y las vistas eran brutales.

Great location on the river and basic but comfortable rooms. The meals were good thanks to Yanti’s cooking. Yanti also helped to organise transport back to the airport.
Osman is a rude and abrasive host. He is argumentative, loud and obnoxious. He also makes regular sexist and misogynistic comments, including references to sexual assault. This made me feel very uncomfortable.
While Osman is good at spotting the wildlife on the river safaris, he manoeuvres the boat unnecessarily quickly and close to the animals, sometimes scaring them away, for which he will blame the guests for talking too loudly.
