Accommodation & Boats

Please find below a list of some of our favourite accommodation & boats in Borneo.

All hotels, lodges and vessels are regularly inspected by a member of the Selective Asia team to ensure they keep to the very high standards our clients have come to expect. Your consultant will be happy to discuss the pros and cons of any of our hotels and boats with you prior to you making a booking. If a hotel of your choice is not listed, please feel free to ask - it may just mean it didn't make our final cut due to the high number of good-quality properties in a particular destination....Selective by name, Selective by nature!

Please note that your choice of hotel may affect your overall holiday cost as not all hotels in each category are the same price.

Deluxe

starstarstarstarstar

Deluxe hotels offer the highest standards of service and facilities and are acknowledged as the leading properties in the region. Facilities such as swimming pools and spas are the norm, and guest rooms are luxurious, with an excellent standard of amenities.

Home Stays

homestay

As far as we are aware, there are no * ratings awarded for home stays as yet. As the title suggests, you will actually be a guest in someone’s home. We often use home stays when trekking and visiting minority tribal villages, allowing our guests to really experience life in these more remote destinations. We also feature a handful of city centre home stays. The standard of facilities varies depending on location.

Why don't we use the more recognisable * rating?

Quite simply because there is a huge disparity between grading systems in each country. There is no international governing body and this leads to a vast difference in each * category from one country to the next.
