Sarah, United States of America

Clean. Comfortable. Beautiful timber accommodation perfectly situated on the Kitanbantagan River

Brandon, Australia

Great location - close to the orangutan and sun bear center, clean facilities, friendly staff.

Andrew, United States of America

1 km from The orangutan sanctuary Very clean The restaurant is decent They arranged a night in kinabalantan river for us in their property there :).

Luis, United States of America

The outside bathroom was quirky and really nice with the added interest of a number of puppies sleeping at the back when we arrived. The room was clean and really nicely set out and having water provided and refilled each day was a great way to reduce bottled water use. The hotel manager provided a transfer service for us during our stay to go in to town, which while a bit more expensive than a taxi, was really useful and he was very friendly.

Kirsty, United Kingdom

Very good location, very close to the rainforest discovery centre and only about a 15 minute walk from the orangutan centre. Staff are very friendly and gave me loads of tips for the area. I travelled alone and the common room is a great place to meet people.

Chiara, Malta

The location is excellent for visiting the local attractions. Dorm room was comfortable and kept cool by AC and fans.

The, United Kingdom

Walking distance from the rehabilitation center. The common area is nice. Rooms are clean with decent AC. There is a restaurant and a small supermarket if you to buy instant noodles and water.

Josselin, United States of America

This place was way nicer than what we expected! Rooms had AC, comfy beds, bathrooms were really nice. For backpackers, we felt like it was pretty luxurious from what we thought it was gonna be :) Nice restaurant and shop too! Close to everything Staff was also very friendly :)

Natalia, Canada

Great hospitality. Staff spoke English, food was good and they let us stay up late at the dinner area to watch the world cup games. The store was good to buy snacks also and the breakfast was ok. Would definitely recommend staying here for the comfort of the rooms and the location to see the orangutans.

Restaurant attached is quite expensive. The White House over the road is better value and has nicer food.
Really great location for The Orangutan Sanctuary, The Sun Bear Conservation Centre and The Rainforest Discovery Centre. Staff are very helpful with bus information and bookings for after your stay, they're nice and friendly too. Bathrooms are spotless and hot water is a blessing!

“Decent but could be better”

We booked a total of three nights stay here. On our second night (after the Kinabatangan river tour also run by the same owner of this Sepilok nature lodge), we were down with food poisoning. Could be the food or water provided at Kinabatangan. So we changed our travel plans and wanted to check out as we felt really bad and couldn’t continue staying in Sepilok. They refused any form of refund which I understand but it’s still not very nice given that we most probably got the Borneo belly from their sister lodge at Kinabatangan. The price is not cheap for Sabah standard. For the same price, you could book a much more comfortable and cleaner room at Sheraton hotel in Sandakan which is only about 25 mins car ride and would only cost 20 ringgit by Grab. If you’re intending to visit the sun bear or orangutan, taking a day trip here would be enough as there’s really nothing much to do in Sepilok. The service provided from staff also varies. Perhaps it’s because of language skill but one of the staff was talking on her phone most of the time and weren’t very helpful when we needed help with booking a car. The accommodation is very basic so come with no expectations and you’d be fine. Toilets are clean and neat for Malaysia standards.
It’s walking distance to rainforest discovery centre, 5 mins car ride to orangutan and sunbear place. Basic accommodation with very basic breakfast. One of the staff who could speak good English provides really good service.

Non-existent customer service. Firstly, our plane was delayed and the driver who was supposed to pick us up left without notifying us. The ladies at reception didn't notify us either. Secondly, the toilet was dirty and with pubic hair on the toilet seat. No hand soap in the bathroom. Very poor breakfast ( choice from scrambled eggs, omelet and fried eggs. No veggies just eggs) and food in general. Restaurant staff don't speak English so it's hard to get the order right or to make them understand your dietary requirements. Gave them suggestions but they couldn't care less.
Good location, close to the Orangutan Centre. Decent size rooms and outside bathroom. Friendly staff, especially the reception lady, but unfortunately they can't really speak English.

The property is well located for the orangutans and sun bears with not much else in Sepilok. So I would recommend enough time to do them and then stay at Four Points Sheraton in Sandakan to be closer to restaurants, shopping etc

Dogs. Dogs belonging to neighbouring houses and also to the resort. Very loud and prolonged barking at night. If you enjoy sleeping at night, you either need to be deaf or bring earplugs.
Extremely nice staff. Accommodation basic but adequate for the location. A nice touch was the free can of beer per guest per day. Well located for the local attractions, orangutans, sunbears and forest walks. A pleasant resort unfortunately with too many dogs.
