Fab location for getting to the Rainforest Discovery Centre and just about walkable in the heat to the orangutans/sunbears too. Our family room was massive with loads of space for all five of us. Beds were comfortable. Aircon worked really well which was a necessity!
Staff were great.

Great little place, perfect location close to a lot of restaurants, cafés, and shops.
The hotel is lovely, clean, well kept.
There are quite a few things to do in Sepilok. I will start with the most famous attraction: the Orang Utan Sanctuary. It was the 2nd time we visited, the first time was in 2021. Definitely more tourists now. There are 2 feeding times and because I wanted to take pictures, stayed near the feeding platform before 10am to get a good spot whilst all the tourists went to watch the feeding at the nursery. The nursery is good as you are guaranteed to see the Orang utans, but you see them behind glass, which gives a bit of a zoo feel. The feeding platform is great as you never know how many, or even if, the Orang Utans are coming. We saw 5 in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. We only saw 3 the next morning. If you have a big lens on your camera, the rule is if you have a fixed lens over 400mm, then you have to pay RM 1000. If you have a telephoto lens, it is only RM10. I brought my 150-600mm telephoto for RM10 without problems.
The bear sanctuary. Good for education and conservation but it is a zoo, with the bears in enclosures.
Another great attraction is the canopy walk. Bring plenty of water but the trails are great. they also organise night walks (no flash allowed) and the guides are very knowledgeable.
Finally, Labuk bay is not far and is great if you want to see proboscis monkeys up close. This time, we were treated to a troup of silver leaf monkeys coming to say hello as well. The fact that they feed the monkeys with bread is definitely debatable, but the monkeys are free to come and go as they please.

Able to visit the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries at leisure as able to walk to them from accommodation. Those on a trip appeared to be rushed whereas we were able to enjoy time at both. Some nice places to eat within the various lodges, you don't have to be resident.

The glamping unit was amazing - spacious, quiet, nicely decorated. Great for a family. Awesome, helpful staff. Good food and bar. But unit had cooking facilities (no pork allowed on the grill.)
A ways from town but very close to other attractions like the Orangutan and Honey Bear sanctuaries.
WiFi was only available in the restaurant, but with our cell phones, we managed just fine.

Loved the orangutans got ripped off seeing the probiscus monkeys! Beware unless with organised tour make sure you get a solid agreement with a driver to take you there and bring you back. No extras! The feeding platform is 1.5km from the entrance! The 2nd platform another 1.1km away so 2.6km back to the entrance. There are no grab cars around!
We ended up flagging a car diwn on the road to ask for a lift to town! Was ridiculous! Walking in that heat too! Best to go on organised tour!
Book a grab early if leaving for airport too as not many arpubd it seemed at 10am!! Or not many wanting to go airport! Hotel tried to charge 75mr when grab is only 17mr! One big ripoff if you ask me!

Great place for viewing the Orangutans.
Great place for viewing the Orangutans. I stayed at 2 resorts over 3 nights. A buffet breakfast was included at both resorts and cafe/restaurant were open for lunch and dinner. I did a night walk and pre-ordered my dinner for when I arrived back. The resorts were next to each other and a 10 minute walk to the Orangutan conservation hut.
I was travelling with my 84 year old father, so we took an easy pace. I went to both the morning and afternoon sessions at the Orangutan conservation centre. I recommend arriving plenty of time before the feeding times (at least 30 mins) as the orangutans start arriving well before the food arrives. It's a great opportunity to get photos whilst they are in the trees and watch them swinging around gracefully. Only one young male came for the morning session, plus loads of long tailed macaques. 3-4 came in the afternoon, including a mum and baby. I saw larger male at the

It was my second time visiting Sepilok and both times I visited Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, was an incredible experience to be so close to the Orangutans.
This time we also went to the Sunbears which was lovely to see this rare sighting of the bears and to see the good work the centre is doing.
We visited Rainforest Discovery Centre, for one of their night walks this was great, and i wish we had another day so we could have explored this park during the day...maybe next time.
It was a superb and memorable stay for us, since we spent extra days due to quarantine. The staff took full care of our needs and was very helpful.
The location is quite near to the main attractions of Sepilok and you can see many birds right from your room. That's how i spent my quarantine there very peacefully. The nature lodge lives up to its name and you feel relaxed in nature.
The room was very comfortable and clean.
Will definitely stay here if we come to Sepilok.
The staff were very friendly and happy to answer any questions that we had. The hotel offers a nighttime jungle walk for RM25 each, which was great, we saw lots of different animals and insects. The room was very clean - we were given fresh towels and a bottle of water every day and our bed was made. The resort is a 5 minute walk from the orangutan sanctuary and the sunbear sanctuary, which is amazing. The breakfast was also very good (vegetarian options available)
The location was great for what we wanted to see in Sepilok: 3 mins walk from Rainforest Discovery Centre and 20 mins walk from Orangutang and Sun Bear centers. Driving to Labuk Bay took about 20 mins. The staff are nice and welcoming. There is a restaurant where you can have breakfast, lunch (11 am - 1 pm) and dinner (6 pm - 8 pm). We found the breakfast good and abundant, no complaints about food. The room was nice as well with mosquito nets on all the windows.
Beautiful location, walking distance from the orangutan sanctuary and sun bear sanctuary (10min) and rainforest discovery centre (25 min). Really nice lodge with balcony view of the rain forest, we saw many birds, squirrels and bats from the balcony. Really helpful and friendly staff. I had lost my phone charger plug at the airport and they kindly lent me theirs for my entire stay, Thank you so much! Really friendly waiter, thanks for all the lovely stories Mi!
Great location, good breakfast, staff were super friendly and eager to please. Bonus having a pool in the hot weather. Drinking water provided in the room. Fun karaoke was had one evening and staff and guests were both involved. Extensive evening menu, all reasonably priced. For a small fee, you can also get driven to the local tourist places such as Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, etc. Very close to the Rainforest Discovery Centre, only a 10 min walk.
You do not need an alarm clock or morning call, as you will waken up by those beautiful birds singing and the animal in the forest. tmThisblocation is very close to orangutan rehabilitation centre, the sun bear and the rainforest discovery centre. we also drove to Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, which only takes less than 30mins.
The two room chalet has Netflix, kids love it.
Simple breakfast, fried rice, omelette and lime juice were good.
It’s fairly basic but this is what I expected. It’s simple but seemed reasonably clean. Staff helpful and friendly. 20min walk to orangutan sanctuary and 5 min walk to rainforest discovery centre. Aircon worked well. Drinking water available. Shower ok for me - low pressure but fine and hot water available. Overall I would stay again. Food available which was ok and reasonable priced. Another restaurant available a few min walk if needed.
Room was great with comfy bed + mosquito net. Inside/outside bathroom. Clean bed sheets/towel and basic toiletries provided.
Community areas have gorgeous views over the rainforest - we saw three squirrel species and a snake whilst eating breakfast!
Great free shuttle service to RDC/orangutan sanctuary. Also organized travel for us when needed.
Few minutes walk away from the orangutans and sun bears. The property is beautiful with ponds and bridges. Owner likes to come and talk to you and tell you all the work he has put into the property and how he was the first resort there. We were in a superior ac room and it was lovely. Pool was also a blessing in the heat. Food was good.
The female dorm was great, comfortable & clean. The lodge is a short walk from all of the activities in Sepilok and they can help you reserve the Rainforest center night walk, which books up. The food in the restaurant was good and not as expensive as some of the other lodges in Sepilok.
Amazing location next to the Orangutan sanctuary, so made it very easy to go back after lunch, which was good as they didn't show up in the morning.
The grounds are lovely and they are clearly gradually making improvements.
Food was good and beer was cold.
Very comfortable and clean. The room was ready when we arrived so they let us check in early. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the Orangutan Sanctuary. Don’t forget to see the flying squirrels at the Rainforest Discovery Center during the night walk.
fantastic restaurant - every item on menu tasty. great kind staff. rooms were clean, really is close to the sepilok reserves (just a walk away), and felt like it really was on the edge of a rainforest.
Magical cottages in the middle of nature
Friendly staff.
Goid food at reasonable prices.
Free shuttle 3 times per day to Orangutan Sanctuary and Rainforest DC.
Free drinking water 24 hours per day.
