This apartment was very modern and clean. The view was excellent and the security made us feel very safe. There is a lovely pool and relaxation area just outside the ground floor. this apartment is on the very edge of town so you look over the jungle. It is very easy and cheap to get a 'grab' taxi into the center and to places like Sepilok. Would highly recommend.

Cleanliness is top notch and the view from the balcony is breath taking. You can see half of Sandakan city from above. Peace and quiet suitable for someone who prioritise privacy. Definitely this will be my first go to next time if i happens to be in Sandakan. Thank you very much to the host for providing such a good place and keeping it clean for all the guests.

For us, the location was great - it’s right by the airport, and not too far from the rainforest discover center/orangutan rehab center. The house has everything: water and dryer, blender, countertop oven, filtered water, etc. Communication was friendly and helpful (our flight arrived at 12:30pm and we could check in early). We had a nice quiet morning coffee and chat in the garden/patio area out back, too.

    Apart from a young gentleman handing us the key, our contact was through Whattsapp which was ok. The lady booked a river cruise for us at the last moment, and it was outstanding. For a budget hotel, it was a good deal and I would recommend it. Location was good too.

    AeCotel, it is in a brilliant location, very close to the seafront and shopping centre. We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were super helpful and let us store our luggage after checkout before we went to the airport. The room was very clean, with a comfortable bed. Would Def recommend this place to stay, great value 😃

    It's a cozy place to stay with family. The location is ideal. It's a quiet place to stay. Everything is complete with mineral waters, towels, soaps, combs & dental kits. They even provide a cute snack & drinks corner, you can pay with cash or QR scan. The house is very clean and smells nice. We will definitely come back again in the future. ⭐
