Majid Hotel

Top choice in Kalimantan


Across from the boat dock in Kumai, Majid Hotel has six small but very clean air-con rooms; the more expensive ones have hot water. Helpful English-speaking owners Majid and Liesa have several klotok, so can arrange good-value trips to Tanjung Puting National Park – if you book a trip you stay at the hotel for free.

At the time of writing Majid was also building a cafe, restaurant and homestay on the mangrove-lined riverfront across from Kumai town.
