"This was the nicest stay in Pangkalan Bun while waiting for my boat trip to Tanjung Puting park. The hotel was very responsive when there were problems."
"I have stayed in other hotels in banjarbaru but they were not nearly as nice as the upscale hotels in banjarmasin, until now. Grand maya is on the same level as the best of banjarmasin with a better price point as of now, and although I was unsure about being in the middle of both cities it actually worked out better as i I travel to both."

"The villa is beautiful with a wonderful garden, it was a real pleasure to spend our vacation there. Delicious breakfasts and very nice service, every request was fulfilled. In addition, a wonderful breakfast for the road. Thank you and we will definitely come back."
"Staying up in the mountains, you have to accept that you will have insect visitors come in your room. The host gave us a spray to help the insects leave. The host kept our room clean and gave fresh towels. They helped us build our itinerary. I had to have some milk and food for my young kids and they let me use their fridge. Dog was friendly."
"Amazing place. The breakfast downstairs is so good. They need to redo the photos for the apartments as it’s loads better than it looks on the site. Great location. Night food market just outside and a great mall next door. Highly recommend."

"A very well appointed hotel to relax and explore Sabah, Borneo. The staff could not be more personable and attentive, which transformed our experience and made it very special for our break. The breakfast is plentiful and well arrayed, covering Asian and Western Cuisine. The pool side lunch is reasonable in offering, and while we did not opt for dinner, the choice of restaurants were ample for a 4 night stay. The garden wing room was well sized for a family, and the housekeeping staff have thought of all the needs for modern travel. The location is about a 45 minute drive from the airport and the main city, which did not affect our needs but some might find a bit remote. The adjoining rasa ria reserve was quite special and the choice of activities on offer is fantastic. The daytime entertainment at the poolside is really good. With fond memories, we would definitely comeback."
"Check in and check out was very smooth, and the staff just very kind. Room was clean and they even clean the floors of our room daily. That was a surprise. Definitely a great place to stay."
"Great location , rooms were spacious but very dated property needing updating . Carpets were stained . Buffet was very good with a good selection of local cuisine."
"I had an incredible stay at the Empire, Brunei. The hotel and grounds are stunning and I made the most of the incredible spa, the onsite cinema and the pool and beach. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating and really made it a truly special stay. The rooms were amazing and the sea view is unmissable."
"The shower alternative tap did not work. And water temperature was either quite hot or cool. Water pressure for showering was low too. But the bidet’s water pressure was super strong! So, taking a shower & using the bidet was quite a challenge. Perhaps it’s time to use more sustainable shower management that feels satisfying yet saving water.
Breakfast was adequate, but could improve a little with coffee: offer cold fresh milk instead of milk powder. Might want to consider offering local Sabahan breakfast?
Location is excellent- walking distance to convenience stores & restaurants. Room was clean, soundproof, and beds excellent - helps a lot in getting some peaceful sleep.
Staff were exceptionally welcoming, friendly and efficient. Keep up the great work!"
