We stayed here for 3 nights. There was several reasons for this, the main one being that this was the start of our holiday and it gave us some time to unwind. It turned out to be a great decision. This lodge is great, the staff are very friendly, some a little shy, but amazingly helpful as wefound out after... More

The main reason for staying at the Sepilok Nature Resort was its proximity to the Oranguan Sanctuary. The sancutuary was within walking distance, however I was so dissapointed once we arrived. there are only two feeding times and its even questionable if any orang's will come out. We did have a good showing, but 2 minutes into the feeding it... More

What an amazing place! Right next to the orangutan sanctuary and rehabilitation centre and set by a small lake in the middle of the rainforest. My husband and I visited there for my 50th birthday and they made us feel so special. The staff went out of their way to make our stay really somethng else! We were escorted to... More

If you enjoy nature and lots of greens. This is your perfect resort in Sandakan. Located right next to Orang Utan Rehabilitation Center. This place is awesome and quiet, away from town. Great to relax while enjoying the nature; surrounded by trees and a huge pond. Transportation may be a hassle as it's pretty far from town about 30 minutes... More

Food very average, staff not exactly on it and tours, if you book them via the hotel, are overpriced (I think they know they can charge you over the odds as you're almost captive once you're there for a few days). Having said that, the rooms are good, the setting is excellent and the gardens are lovely. If you want... More

Situated right next to the orangutans which was great. Lovely location by the lake and lovely gardens with orchids and plenty of birds flying about. Rooms are large and very clean with fridge to cool the beers and tea and coffee. Bathrooms are very large and again clean. Food was good. We ate a la carte the first night as... More

We only stayed for one night and chose it for the reason above. Our chalet was clean and adequate, the bathroom was a little tired and could do with an upgrade. The food was ok, the restaurant area overlooked a lake which was picturesque. The gardens were well tended and had some spectacular plants, the bird life was great and... More

Our tour advisor had suggested this was good for one night. In truth we could have spent a couple / three nights there. Rooms were vast with a large bath, balcony and air conditioning. We had lunch / dinner / Breakfast and all the meals were very good. We opted for the night walk, be warned the leeches find a... More
