Room ok, but noisy and not great WiFi- needs improvement
Pros:

Friendly staff and good external laundry service. Room was clean.

Cons:

- Really noisy hotel both doors slamming and traffic outside
- I could hear rats running on the ceiling while sleeping
- biggest downside is that the WiFi connection was really poor and unstable. Not connecting properly from the room and even in communal areas it kept disconnecting.

Pros:

Eenvoudige maar goede kamers

Cons:

Veel jong en onervaren personeel in restaurant. Deden wel hun best en waren aardig. Eten was goed. Live Muziek in het reataurant was erg hard. Gekke oude mannen die de microfoon overnamen van de enige dame en persoon die wel kon zingen.

Pros:

Het personeel was aardig en de locatie goed, dichtbij het vliegveld en met genoeg eetmogelijkheden en een supermarkt verderop.

Cons:

Onze eerste kamer rook heel chemisch, alsof er schimmel was weggewerkt door teveel vocht. Ook was de wasbak gebroken en zat het bomvol muggen (zonder te overdrijven wel 15 muggen). We hebben om een andere kamer gevraagd, hierbij was het personeel erg behulpzaam. De tweede kamer was stukken beter. Hij voelde schoner aan. Wel lagen er veel haren op de badkamervloer die niet van ons waren.

Het ontbijt was niet veel en viel ietwat tegen.

Charming and comfortable overnight stay in a city with few options
Pros:

This is mostly a transit hotel for people travelling to Tanjung Puting National Park. So it was nice to find a hotel with some traditional charm - including the garden and architecture. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had a good omelette for breakfast. I also had an excellent soup for dinner in the restaurant (there aren’t many dining or hotel options in Pangkalan Bun).

Cons:

Nothing. The hotel was hosting a small women’s conference so was quite busy (esp. at breakfast), but it was nice to see this side of Indonesia and the staff made sure we were still looked after.

Nice place for a night
Pros:

Very convenient for one night after arriving in Borneo and before getting on the Klotok tours

Cons:

The room was dark. The blinds were not covering the whole window, which was in front of the garden, so we had to keep them down all the time for privacy

Pros:

I really liked what I believe was the traditional Indonesian style of the whole hotel and the beautiful calm tropical garden with a carp pond and fountain and lots of different places to sit. The restaurant had really good service and food and our room was cool, clean and peaceful. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The hotel was quite a long way from other possible things to do in pangkalan bun like visiting the yellow palace and the River
