Hotels in Borneo, Malaysia

Borneo is a tropical island split between Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei, famous for its ancient rainforests and wild orangutans. The climate is hot and humid year-round (around 80°F/27°C), with a wet season from November to March that's perfect for cruising the Kinabatangan River to spot proboscis monkeys, and a drier stretch from April to October when you can trek up Mount Kinabalu or dive around Sipadan Island. For the best wildlife sightings, visit Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre during the dry months, while the rainy season brings quieter trails and lower prices at jungle lodges.
