    Title: Amazing Family Retreat

    For dads, it would be great if there were more recreational facilities for children, such as a playground or a kids' club.

    As a nature lover, I highly recommend staying at Bintang Bolong Lodge. The new wooden bungalows nestled in mangroves provide an excellent opportunity to immerse oneself in nature. The local area is a gem, with friendly and social locals. The staff, especially Omar the boat trip guide, are lovely and helpful. The facilities are charmingly basic, and the breakfast is generous. Sitting on the balcony with a river view, I enjoyed watching birds, fish, and monkeys. the lodge offers a tranquil and affordable retreat.

    I would recommend this hotel.

    The serene and idyllic environment right on the water was simply enchanting. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was wonderful, and the food was delicious. The highlight of my trip was the paddling boat or engine boat ride down the river, arranged by the lodge. I was able to explore the village and immerse myself in the peaceful surroundings. Although the rooms were basic, sitting out on the balcony with a book and gazing at the river was a truly magical experience. Solomon, the owner, was a fantastic host, and Omar provided excellent guidance around the area. The lodge is a bit far from the city center, but Solomon was kind enough to provide transportation at a reasonable rate. I highly recommend making the journey to Bintang Bolong Lodge for a memorable and peaceful stay.

Nature enthusiasts like us were in paradise, surrounded by the serene environment and enjoying the excellent facilities. The local area offered endless exploration possibilities, and the warm and sociable local people made us feel right at home. The staff was incredibly nice and lovely, especially Omar, the boat trip guy, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable.

    The views from the hotel were absolutely stunning, offering a picturesque and serene atmosphere. the staff at the hotel were friendly and always ready to assist with any requests. One of the best aspects was the delicious food available at the hotel, with a variety of options to choose from. the location of the hotel was perfect, allowing for easy access to various attractions and day trips in the area.

    The manager at the hotel had a hostile attitude towards guests, which left a negative impression. There were also some issues with the rooms, such as a lack of table lights and inadequate window insulation, which made nights slightly uncomfortable.

    A Delightful Surprise

    While staying at this charming lodge, I had the pleasure of experiencing a beautiful terrace with breathtaking river views. It felt like I was dining among nature's finest artwork. The restaurant offered a delectable variety of dishes, ranging from mouthwatering African, American, to French cuisine. It was like having a culinary world tour without leaving the comfort of my seat.

    We had a fantastic experience at Bintang Bolong Lodge. The location, with its epic view over the Bolong, was breathtaking. The African-style rooms were charming and hearing the mongooses at night added to the authentic atmosphere. The staff were friendly and the restaurant served a delicious breakfast with a stunning view. we highly recommend this lodge for a memorable stay.
