Hotels in Borneo, Malaysia

Borneo is a massive island shared by Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei, famous for its ancient rainforests and incredible wildlife like orangutans and pygmy elephants. The climate is tropical and steamy year-round, hovering around 80°F (27°C), with a dry season from March to October that's perfect for trekking in the Danum Valley and spotting orangutans at Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre. During the wet season from November to February, you can still dive at Sipadan Island (visibility stays good) and explore the Kinabatangan River's flooded forests, where proboscis monkeys leap overhead.
