The buffet breakfast could even have more variety spread.

The location which is 5mins away drive from ferry terminal, the cabin rooms and also the staffs. Clean and beautiful surroundings.

Hope can develop more activities so we don’t need travel far to other places. Food can add more varieties. In the morning there’s lots flies in the canteen.

Thanks to the owner of Eric Saw, who spent tremendous effort, conquered all obstacles and finally turned this 111 years old ship into a very unique ship hotel, all the income goes to charity. It’s just a few minutes walk from Bintan ferry terminal.

The heritage and history. The views

Stayed in July 2025

Would be great to see some more activities and investments into the local area enriching what Bintan has to offer whilst protecting and celebrating the local traditions and wildlife.

It was such a fitting tribute to the ship’s rich history to see her restored to a newfound glory. The restoration is masterfully done, beautifully complemented by the reclaimed land she now rests on. It was truly an honour to stay aboard this unique and enchanting piece of history, now transformed into a marvellous feat of architectural design. Our room was delightful — it perfectly balanced the charm of an old-time cruise liner with modern comforts, all while maintaining an authentic nautical vibe. Stepping out onto the balcony to relax and take in the surrounding waters and sweeping views of the Indonesian landscape was an absolute highlight. I can’t recommend this experience enough to anyone who appreciates history, architecture, and a touch of maritime magic.

Limited meal options & facilities

Owner is very friendly and attentive. Gave me a surprise birthday cake 😄 Staff are nice & friendly. Willing to do extra to make our stay memorable. Very interesting & impressive Indo-Dutch dinner.

There should be a shower curtain or a door to separate the wet and dry area in the bathroom. The infinity pool closes too early.

Everything about this hotel is awesome, from the location, the wonderful service, friendly staffs, comfortable cabins, the facilities and last but not least, the history of how it came to be.

The food was fantastic. Especially satay, ketupat, nasi goreng kampung, nasi lemak, egg bennedict, etc. The breakfast menu could be improved to include a little more variety for vegetarians.

Liked the heritage tour of the ship. It was a new experience for us learning the ship's history. All the staff were very polite, accommodating, smiley and helpful. Highly recommended for those who want to go for a short gateaway. Away from noise and crowd, this is a perfect destination. It's very quiet, peaceful, and very near to BBT, just 2 mins drive. We stayed in the deluxe suite with a balcony overseeing the Seaview.

The food was really good over there, the staff also really friendly. It really exceeded my expectations of this hotel. I would like to come here again next time

Location near the ferry terminal however relatively far from Lagoi beach/other attractions (however now grab available which mitigated the impact)

Amazing hospitality and service by the staff. Views were also great especially from the poolside, we were able to catch the sunset when the skies were clear. The cabin was spacious and clean. The ship tour was also interesting and made the stay very unique.

A bit of a maze navigating from the rooms to the activity areas. May be more directional signage would help. We tried both the semi fine dining set & the traditional nasi liwet. The food selections for both are somewhat similar. Perhaps can add more variety to the semi fine dining selection to make it more distinctive from nasi liwet

The services rendered by Captain Sem & his crew are exceptional. They attended to my needs ahead my arrival. The customer service manager Nelly took the effort to make all arrangements for me. The services rendered by Captain Sem & Nelly exceed my expectations. They are warm, friendly & genuinely welcoming & went the extra miles to make sure that all my plans proceeded seamlessly for me. I am very impressed by their care & professionalism. They together with the rest of the team have certainly made our stay at Duolos a memorable one & if I return to Bintan, I will surely choose to stay at Duolos where everything is under 1 roof & everyone so welcoming. The Heritage tour is insightful & make our stay special. The open deck offers panoramic view of the seas & surrounding with view of beautiful sunsets. The foods served at the dining outlets are delicious. The semi fining menu offers a delightful experience with good food.

Nothing

My 11 year old son is obsessed with ships and in particular the Titanic, so staying on a ship of the same era was a dream come true for him. We got a guided tour of the full ship including engine room which he loved. The rooms were comfy, the food was great l, the staff were super friendly and the sunset views from the infinity pool were absolutely stunning.

I am very positive about everything: the food, the pool, the facilities. But most important: the people went out out of their way to make us feel at ease, they really want to make us come back!

Stayed in April 2025

There was no housekeeping during our stay, probably because of our stay coinciding with the Idul Fitri holiday weekend.

The Ship hotel is a unique experience. The stewards of the ship have managed quite well to maintain the feel of staying in a ship, even though it's berthed on land! A tour of the ship is a must!

Aircon was down in part of the hotel.

The location

Stayed in March 2025

I love the uniqueness of this hotel - a ship built more than a century ago, a few years after the infamous Titanic. I love the warmth and smiles of the staff, the hospitality of the hotel owner Mr Eric Saw, the quiet retreat from city life, the ship tour, the Rijsttafel dinner, and even just looking out into the sea from our room's spacious balcony. My teens had a good time too! They enjoyed the pool, gym, and exploring the ship. If we had more time, we would have done the mudflat eco walk and gotten some massage. Thanks Doulos Phos for giving me, my parents and children such a memorable experience. Will visit again one day.

It was a wonderful experience. The ship held so much history, and I loved seeing the engine room. My husband, who used to be a sailor, really enjoyed it too. It brought back a lot of memories for him.

Not much. Restraunt bit expensive.

The ship is transferred to hotel. Also the maintain the most of the aspects of the ship. They had the tour of the ship which is very informative. Also the met the owner who looks very simple and humble.

The room door is not sound proof. Even when our room door was locked , we can still hear voices from the hotel workers working at the corridors of the room.

Resort style atmosphere and the hotel tour.

The outside maintenance is a challenge with the rust constantly coming back

The location and the beautiful breeze at that time of the year.. The story of the ship was also powerful.. The ship is beautifully remodeled inside
