NetherlandsThe fresh food was excellent, and so is the staff. All of them were very friendly and more than willing to help. And our guide Kai has a tremendous knowledge of the wildlife. He was more than willing to tell a lot of it, to stop when we saw an animal even when it didn’t fit the schedule. Kai and his boatmen where very enthusiastic and saw over and over again wild animals even before we even thought about it. We did several tours both day and night. And on every tour we were able to see different animals. We have had a great time!

About 1.1km from Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation centre, easily walkable for us. We stayed Bed & Breakfast. Breakfast was simple but good. A la carte dinner menu also delicious and good value.

FranceThis was probably one of the most comfortable stay that I had. The location was dreamiest and peaceful. The staffs were literally the most nicest persons, always available and kind. The room was perfect, it did not lack anything at all. And the food was amazing. We were so lucky to start our holidays with this resort.

United KingdomWhat a place, if you're thinking about staying here just book it. Great value for money, the setting is insane.
We stayed for 3 nights and apart from the bathroom being a little ropey ( expected) we just cant fault it!!

United KingdomIt is close to the airport (you can get a very cheap grab for 6MYR).
Receptionist staff were friendly. There are nearby laundromats and shops for a decent price. They also allowed early check in which was nice.

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 AreaGuest review byLukeSilviaComboUnited Kingdom - 4.0

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.Guest review bySusanUnited Kingdom - 10.0
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!Guest review byYoon ChinMalaysia - 10.0
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.Guest review byAlickSpain - 10.0

There are plenty of things to do in and around Sepilok, like the Orang Utan sanctuary, Proboscis monkeys, sun bears and Rainforest Discovery Centre. It is also a great hub for trips to Kinabatangan River or the islands off Sandakan where you can watch sea turtles nesting. All tour operators seem to provide pick-up and drop-off from Sepilok.Guest review byNestflüchterLaos - 10.0
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.Guest review byArnaudMalaysia

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.6Good - What previous guests thought, 2,214 reviewsGood location in terms of things do to around sepilok (500m from sanctuary). Unfortunately, dorms are very small and beds were really hard and didn’t feel very clean. Breakfast buffet is good and the pool is quite nice, downside however is that for any other meal the only option to eat is at their cafe which is ridiculously overpriced! (If you’re on a budget, There’s a small stall outside the orangutan sanctuary I recommend grabbing any meals/ snacks from there, or eating at the sanctuary cafe during the day)Guest review byCleoAustralia
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,016 reviewsGreat location 5 min walk to the RDC and 20 min walk to the orangutan and sunbear sanctuaries. We saw squirrels and oriental hornbills from our room. There were also geckos about. Breakfast provided was simple but good. Lunch/dinner available for purchase was okay but not outstanding. Be aware that there are no shops nearby so if you want snacks or other supplies (e.g. to cook in your room) you're best to pick them up in Sandakan before coming to Sepilok.Guest review byJustineNew Zealand

There are many services such as free shuttle, tour information, cheap laundry, and breakfast. Nature-friendly, so you can see many other small animals around this place. Very close to Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary. It only takes about 10 minutes by cars. You can see beautiful stars every night. It was such a joy!Guest review byHyeinSouth Korea
