A great stay for visiting the other areas of Sepilok. You get what you pay for. Good food in the restaurant there and the breakfast was better than expected. Excellent grounds for birding first thing in the morning. The closest accommodation to the Orangutan Rehabilitation Center (5 minute walk) but quite far from the Rainforest Discovery Center. We tried to walk to the RDC but got picked up by a black cab on the road side and paid 5 Ringits for the ride.

Rooms are basic but the location to orangutan rehab center, etc and wilderness surrounds is all worth it. Unique jungle experience. Staff and owners were so very helpful and considerate. Excellent cook here! We had a medical episode and the owners and staff couldn’t do enough to assist us! Thank you to Jessica and her staff.

Great spot for Sepilok just a bit run down

We enjoyed our stay here. Its a perfect location for exploring the sanctuaries and the food is average. There isnt loads around so its definitely fine for the few days you may be here. The grounds are beautiful and rooms were clean and spacious. The place just looks a bit run down but is fine for the price you pay.

Beautiful surroundings

Beautiful surroundings. With fish, turtles and small alligators. Many dogs who want to join you at meal times :) Fish food available if you want to lure them closer. Room was clean and bed comfortable. We had a balcony. Restaurant was good with a fairly large menu. Closed for last orders around 8pm.

We did the river trips and stayed for 2 nights The whole experience was amazing. We booked with River Junkie The hotel is laid back and relaxed. The layout is attractive, colonial rooms, well spaced out with balconies overlooking the river, comfortable beds with good linen. Great bathroom, large bedroom tastefully decorated Good food, met many lovely guests. Our guide, Azrol was informative and knowledgeable, saw most of the big five, just not Orangutans😢 I would really recommend this place

Loved the jungle setting and thd boardwalks between buildings taking you across the various lakes on the complex. Rooms themselves though a little "tired". Resort had more of a backpacker feel to it than a resort, but location great and easy walking distance to the Orang Utan centre and Sun Bear centre. A little frustrating that the restaurant area closes so early (9pm with last orders at 8.30pm) as this meant we were a bit stuck when comjng back from the nightwalk at the Rainforest Discovery Centre.
