Very nice and kind staff. You get drinking water as much as you want, even though the flavor of the water was like drinking plastic. Rooms are comfy big and clean enough. The shower is not hot but not crazy cold. We just spent one night here and it was the perfect location for the Orangutan century and the walk along the rainforest. Dinner was also very good! Overall we were happy to stay here, it is a very strategic place!

Kate

A good location to visit the sepilok orangutan sanctuary.
The place could be really beautiful but needs some work.
The younger girls on the reception desk were friendly but some of the other staff were not welcoming or helpful.
They offered transport to the airport.

There are quite a few things to do in Sepilok.
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.ArnaudMalaysia - 10Scored 10

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.Peters - 4.0Scored 4.0

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 theHales68Australia - 10Scored 10

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.

- From Rp 558,657 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 1,304 reviewsGreat location for visiting the orangutan sanctuary, sun bear sanctuary, and rainforest park (sun bear park wasn't very good, but the others were great). Awesome restaurant with great selection. Very nice staff except at night there was no one working, so loud guests were allowed to play loud music all night without being made to stop. Excellent pool and very impressive jungle setting all around. Use their shuttle bus if you can! And watch out for the local monkeys on the path that might try to grab your bag, ha. Very good hotel overall.SeanUnited States

The airconditioned cabins are simple but comfortable.The attentive restaurant staff were also amazing at spotting wildlife and helping the guests to identify and see the wildlife. We saw an Orangutang in their grounds feeding on jackfruit. The restaurant served excellent food and cocktails and it was a lovely meeting point for hotel guests who were all interested in the wildlife and photography. Staff arrange cheap taxis to the sanctuaries if you don't fancy the 10 minutes walk.

The rooms had a balcony and you could see the whole jungle, watch the animals and the sounds were beautiful. It was like a luxury jungle experience. The common area was also lovely! Met lots of other travellers and the food was exceptional. The staff were also so friendly! The shuttle is great, goes to sepilok and picks you up. This was by far better than any of the other resorts by the centres. I will deffo go back.KirstyUnited Kingdom

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.

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.Misha_LBelarus
