The accommodation is very basic and it's best to book a private room. The dorm we stayed in was very cramped. Blankets and towels are not provided. There were 2 of us and the boat fare was RM200 each way. - total RM400 for 2 persons. If you are 1 or 2 persons only, go there early in the morning to find other people to make a group of 4 (or maybe 5) who will return together with you if possible, because if you don't do that then you will end up paying a lot. You cannot go there hoping to find someone to share a boat for the return journey because the return boat fare must be paid at the time you depart for Bako. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g298309-d10810369-Reviews-Bako_National_Park-Kuching_Sarawak.html
