The staff at this hotel is horrible, including the owners. They were the rudest people we encountered during our 2 weeks traveling all over Malaysia. If you need to stay at a hotel near the Orangantan sanctuary, go down the street to the Sepilok Nature Resort. They were so much nicer and the rooms were a thousand times better for... more

Sepilok jungle resort is about half an hour drive from Sandakan town. For those who love nature and a tranquil environment, this is the place. The trees surrounding this resort comprise the varieties that can be found in a typical rainforest. The rich wildlife available will keep you fascinated. This resort is just five minutes walk from the famous sepilok... more

There are other nicer places to stay in Sepilok. The other reviews say it: indifferent staff, poor service, food and rooms. It is disingenuous for the owner to refer to the swimming pool etc - we didnt see it! more

The resort is well located only a couple minutes walk to Sepilok orang-utan rehabilitation centre, so you can avoid to take a taxi from Sandakan to Sepilok Rooms are simple, but are clean and comfortable. more

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and after booking I read the mixed bag of reviews on Tripadvisor. On first sight, the resort was very nice. Well kept gardens, a nice lake and while some of the walkways and bridges are a little rustic, I feel it adds to the feel of the place. Our room was small,... more

I booked the resort after reading all the reviews on this website - I thought I knew what I was expecting but I was wrong... I understand that it's all about the wild life & back to basics here but there really wasn't much to it and it's definitely over priced for the kind of rooms they were providing. They... more

Let me start by saying the grounds are quite nice (but rundown), the location is excellent as its a 5 min walk to the Sepilok Orang Utan Cente. There are no more positive points. We booked our room in advance and while checking in after 2pm the room was not ready. The room we finally got was dark and not... more

The swimming pool and reading room are available. we are a resort of 30 acres (we have developed 10 acres and the remaining 20 acrea are dedicated for fruits trees for the wildlife living in the area) I believed you did not walk the resort coz if you do so, you will notice that our swimming pool is ready but...

The Jungle resort is one of several located within 5 minutes walk of the Orang Utang sanctuary. Nowhere near the town. We arrived there at 2pm so had time to do the afternoon feeding and then go back again for the morning feeding which is much busier with tour groups. The resort setting is beautiful with wonderful gardens including an... more

Let me start by saying that the setting of Sepilok Jungle Resort is absolutely beautiful, it's like staying in a park, and my standard room with fan/shared bathroom was fine. This, however, is the last positive thing I can say about the place. Although I had made a reservation in advance, my room was not ready. Ok, I left my... more

Stayed a couple of nights here whilst visiting the Orang Utan reserve room was ok, basic but ok! food was good handy for the reserve as its within walking distance. Booked over the interner and it did what we needed more
