5 out of 5 stars Useful Guide to Borneo   July 22, 2010
L. Montgomery (Doncaster England)
We are planning a 'DIY' trip to Borneo, and this useful guide has given us the confidence to organise it ourselves, without relying on a travel agent.
The book is divided into geographical sections with useful web addresses and hotel details. We particularly like the 'getting there and away' section to help with planning transfers from travel hubs to accomodation.



4 out of 5 stars Good detailed guide to Borneo   January 29, 2009

Having already been to Borneo, we bought this guide for our nephew who is going there this summer. We looked at a few specific reports on areas that we had enjoyed as we knew our own opinions(!)and found the reports to be accurate and updated from the time that we were there.


4 out of 5 stars Covers a wide variety of areas   July 21, 2010

This book seems to be good, albeit recently discovering I need to complete a dive course before enjoy all that Borneo has to offer. I'm sure when the time comes to visit the island the book will come in very handy.


4 out of 5 stars Standard travel guide   October 26, 2009

I usually prefer Lonely planet guides rather than its competitors, though they do vary depending on the writer.

I only went to the Sabah region of Borneo so most of the book was not relevant to me but the section on Sabah was good enough for my purposes.

To get to Borneo you do usually have to go via Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. There is a very brief section on these two cities but I ended up having to take a separeate book on KL with me. So a few more pages about these two places would be really useful in the book.



4 out of 5 stars BORNEO - essential pre-visit reading   January 10, 2010

0 out of 2 found this review helpful

With plans to visit Borneo this year, we researched different publications which would help us best enjoy our visit. Lonely Planet guides have been helpful & informative on previous trips to other locations, & we anticipate no less with this one. Although its worth can only be proven upon our return, we expect this will highlight the "must-see's" to enable us to gain maximum benefit from our travels in Borneo.Borneo (Lonely Planet Country & Regional Guides)
