Everything was new, clean, and well organized - I was really impressed by the dorms and the amount of space in the room. The dorm bathroom was also large and clean. Amazing value and the location is a short walk to the Rainforest Discovery Centre. The breakfast buffet that is included in the price is quite good with a variety of vegan and vegetarian options. I had a really nice and comfortable stay - highly recommend!

This is an absolutely fantastic property and resort. It is true to its name: it is at the edge of the forest and one of the further-removed properties in the area, if not the furthest. The staff is extremely responsive and will help you arrange anything that you wish to arrange in the area. I stayed in one of the basic chalets (so one step up above the dormitories) and it was amazing. If you have the money and it is at all possible, skip the dormitory and get the chalet. Yes, it's a price jump, but absolutely worth it. Spotlessly clean, drinking water upon request, wonderful private deck that I was obsessed with. Restaurant is top-notch. Air-con, which is a huge thing in Borneo. You should definitely follow their recommendations and make sure that you have a slip-off pair of shoes since you'll be walking between your accomodations and the restaurant pavillion frequently. Staff is extremely friendly. Anything that's within reason you ask for, you will get.

Fabulous nature! Very good value. Main attractions within easy walking distance. We saw pig tailed macaque, hornbills, red langur, slow loris, black backed kingfisher, mouse deer, green pigeons and much more right on their property! Gibbons serenaded us every morning too. Nature lover’s paradise. The night tour was excellent too, albeit we did get bitten by fire ants and a leech-good shoes and clothes a must!

Most people go there to visit the orangutans sanctuary.

Most people go there to visit the orangutans sanctuary. It is excellent . Obviously they cannot guarantee animals will come to feeding platform, but when they do, you could spend a long time simply watching them.

Sepilok was excellent and safe.

Sepilok was excellent and safe. Small view of local life and excellent option to walk to each destination there from the resort we picked. Great way to recover from jet lag and we the jungle before we went out on the Kinabatangan river. Ate at the resorts and the orangutan center was fun outside of just the feeding as the apes stuck around on the railings!! Then the jungle night was was very fun with excellent guides who were very passionate finding us several of the nocturnal monkeys.

Only a 20 minute ride from Sandakan Airport so it’s worthwhile checking out for the day. There is only about 1 whole days worth of activities in the area I.e. the Orangutan Center, the Sun Bear center and then the rainforest discovery Center. I probably wouldn’t recommend more than 1 day in this area unless you want to do some of the extensive forest and mangrove walls that are at the rainforest discovery Center - but they’re more for the dry season rather than the rainy season. I strongly do NOT recommend the probiscus sanctuary back in Sandakan as it’s more of a single species zoo only - it’s much better to get out to the nearby Kandabangan River Area

The only reason to stay a night is to ensure you get to the Orang Utan reserve just after 9am (let the initial queue go down) to watch the 10am feeding. Otherwise, stay elsewhere and drive to the reserve/get a Grab/bus it, and watch the 3pm feed, and then go back to your hotel.

I enjoyed Sepilok very much!

I enjoyed Sepilok very much! I was amazed by the facilities at the RDC, the orangutan, and the sun bear reserve. It is friendly for both children and the elderly. The staff are very friendly. My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves, especially during the night safari. Our rangers did their best to help us spot the animals. I will definitely recommend that my friends visit Sepilok—what a gem in Malaysia!

Sepilok is a must if in Borneo.

Sepilok is a must if in Borneo. The Rainforest Discovery centre is incredible, especially the night walk, as is the Orangutan rehabilitation centre and the Kinabatangan River half-day cruise. There’s also a Sun bear sanctuary, which we are hoping to visit.

Gorgeous room right in the jungle, it was so cool. Had air con and a fan. The door opened up to the balcony and the bathroom was outdoors but still super private. Only 10 mins to Sepilok / the sanctuaries and there’s a free shuttle with the hotel which was fab. Food was really good and cheap! Really enjoyed our night here.
