We had the opportunity to stay one night in a chalet and one in a dorm.
Chalet: clean and comfortable with a good ac. Nice atmosphere feeling like you are in the rainforest!
Dorm: clean, and at night it was cool enough to sleep despite no AC
Food: some dishes (like the jungle fern and lamb curry) were super yummy!
Common areas including the plunge pool were very pleasant - fans, games, views, all very nice. We were even told by staff when an orangutan happened to drop by!

There are plenty of things to do in and around Sepilok, like the Orang Utan sanctuary, Proboscis monkeys, sun bears and Rainforest Discovery Centre. It is also a great hub for trips to Kinabatangan River or the islands off Sandakan where you can watch sea turtles nesting. All tour operators seem to provide pick-up and drop-off from Sepilok.

There are quite a few things to do in Sepilok.
There are quite a few things to do in Sepilok. I will start with the most famous attraction: the Orang Utan Sanctuary. It was the 2nd time we visited, the first time was in 2021. Definitely more tourists now. There are 2 feeding times and because I wanted to take pictures, stayed near the feeding platform before 10am to get a good spot whilst all the tourists went to watch the feeding at the nursery. The nursery is good as you are guaranteed to see the Orang utans, but you see them behind glass, which gives a bit of a zoo feel. The feeding platform is great as you never know how many, or even if, the Orang Utans are coming. We saw 5 in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. We only saw 3 the next morning. If you have a big lens on your camera, the rule is if you have a fixed lens over 400mm, then you have to pay RM 1000. If you have a telephoto lens, it is only RM10. I brought my 150-600mm telephoto for RM10 without problems. The bear sanctuary. Good for education and conservation but it is a zoo, with the bears in enclosures. Another great attraction is the canopy walk. Bring plenty of water but the trails are great. they also organise night walks (no flash allowed) and the guides are very knowledgeable. Finally, Labuk bay is not far and is great if you want to see proboscis monkeys up close. This time, we were treated to a troup of silver leaf monkeys coming to say hello as well. The fact that they feed the monkeys with bread is definitely debatable, but the monkeys are free to come and go as they please.ArnaudMalaysia - Scored 1010

Able to visit the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries at leisure as able to walk to them from accommodation. Those on a trip appeared to be rushed whereas we were able to enjoy time at both. Some nice places to eat within the various lodges, you don't have to be resident.

The glamping unit was amazing - spacious, quiet, nicely decorated. Great for a family. Awesome, helpful staff. Good food and bar. But unit had cooking facilities (no pork allowed on the grill.) A ways from town but very close to other attractions like the Orangutan and Honey Bear sanctuaries. WiFi was only available in the restaurant, but with our cell phones, we managed just fine.Peters - Scored 4.04.0

Loved the orangutans got ripped off seeing the probiscus monkeys! Beware unless with organised tour make sure you get a solid agreement with a driver to take you there and bring you back. No extras! The feeding platform is 1.5km from the entrance! The 2nd platform another 1.1km away so 2.6km back to the entrance. There are no grab cars around! We ended up flagging a car diwn on the road to ask for a lift to town! Was ridiculous! Walking in that heat too! Best to go on organised tour! Book a grab early if leaving for airport too as not many arpubd it seemed at 10am!! Or not many wanting to go airport! Hotel tried to charge 75mr when grab is only 17mr! One big ripoff if you ask me!

Great place for viewing the Orangutans.
Great place for viewing the Orangutans. I stayed at 2 resorts over 3 nights. A buffet breakfast was included at both resorts and cafe/restaurant were open for lunch and dinner. I did a night walk and pre-ordered my dinner for when I arrived back. The resorts were next to each other and a 10 minute walk to the Orangutan conservation hut. I was travelling with my 84 year old father, so we took an easy pace. I went to both the morning and afternoon sessions at the Orangutan conservation centre. I recommend arriving plenty of time before the feeding times (at least 30 mins) as the orangutans start arriving well before the food arrives. It's a great opportunity to get photos whilst they are in the trees and watch them swinging around gracefully. Only one young male came for the morning session, plus loads of long tailed macaques. 3-4 came in the afternoon, including a mum and baby. I saw larger male at theHales68Australia

- Scored 8.98.9Rated excellentExcellent · 84 reviewsGreat location, good breakfast, staff were super friendly and eager to please. Bonus having a pool in the hot weather. Drinking water provided in the room. Fun karaoke was had one evening and staff and guests were both involved. Extensive evening menu, all reasonably priced. For a small fee, you can also get driven to the local tourist places such as Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, etc. Very close to the Rainforest Discovery Centre, only a 10 min walk.
VictoriaUnited Kingdom - Scored 7.77.7Rated goodGood · 1,494 reviewsWe had a great stay. Beautiful resort, simple accommodation, but all was clean and towels changed daily as well as water provided to our room. Breakfast was included, a simple buffet, but it was good to get you going in the morning. Sepilok jungle resort is very close to all that you need yo visit in the region. We had lunch and dinner at Sepilok, a great choice. We recommend 👌VERONICAUnited Kingdom
- Scored 8.78.7Rated excellentExcellent · 427 reviewsGreat hotel in the heart of the jungle. Also very close to both the sun bear and orangutan sanctuary (within walking distance) which is a big plus. Staff were friendly and attentive always making us feel welcome. Food was good quality given where we were staying. Great priced rooms for the location and nearby sights.
MathewUnited Kingdom - Scored 8.48.4Rated very goodVery Good · 585 reviewsI am satisfied as a birder as in the yard of this hotel I saw black and red broadbill, blue throated bee eater, baya weaver and even a Malayan night heron, a rare bird which I think might still stay in the yard. The location is also good, maybe the nearest hotel to the Rainforest Discovery Center.直直China
