Staying at Sepilok B&B was a success. The rooms were clean and had everything you need to have a good stay. Everything that surrounds it is incredible, a place surrounded by peace and inviting to disconnect. It is close to all the places to see in Sepilok. We also highlight their staff, for us the most important thing and what made us even more comfortable. Willing to help, advise and make you feel at home.

Absolutely stunning lodge for a very reasonable price. All the staff were so amazing. Walking distance from the Orang Utan centre. But we even had a wild Orang Utan right in front of our bungalow. We first had a standard chalet but then asked to upgrade. We then got the ‚Tip of Borneo‘ chalet which had the best view and also was freshly renovated. It was so much nicer than the first one we had.

Most of the places offering accommodation in the area are by the main road. This one is more secluded, and you have the jungle just infront of the terrace. The facilities are rustic, but very clean and comfy. The staff was also amazing; so kind and friendly and always willing to help.

I'm a biologist, so this hotel was exactly the right choice. Everything I needed was nearby... a very good breakfast, a protein-rich meal, watching kingfishers hunt while you eat breakfast, wonderful. The night walk is highly recommended; the hotel is located in the middle of the jungle, and in the morning, small families of monkeys greet you in the trees... orangutans and sun bears are within walking distance. I will be coming back here for work, so I definitely recommend it. I delayed checkout by an hour because I was still out exploring the jungle, no problem. The staff is very friendly and always available to answer any questions. Thank you ☺️

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We had a great stay. Beautiful resort, simple accommodation, but all was clean and towels changed daily as well as water provided to our room. Breakfast was included, a simple buffet, but it was good to get you going in the morning. Sepilok jungle resort is very close to all that you need yo visit in the region. We had lunch and dinner at Sepilok, a great choice. We recommend 👌

    At Sepilok B&B, I appreciated the quiet and natural setting. Its location near the Rain Forest Discovery Centre and the Orangutan Rehabilitation Sanctuary made sightseeing convenient. The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was tasty. Our road to the place took longer than planned, and the staff was really helpful and kindly waited for us to check in.

    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.
