Such a wonderful place located in nature right next to the amazing Rainforest Discovery Center in Sepilok. We were here for 5 days but would have loved to stay even longer. All staff is super nice and helpful! We loved talking to all of them. The food at their restaurant is very delicious too! Highly recommend staying here, don’t hesitate to book :)

It is well worth staying at least two nights at Sepilok, so that one can attend both feeding sessions at the orang utan centre, visit the sunbear rehabilitation centre AND spend time at the wonderful Rainforest Discovery Centre. The latter deserves a few hours, preferably in the afternoon and leading up to dusk, as one can see so much wildlife,. The canopy walkway is amazing.

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!

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)

Great 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.

The gardens are super beautiful, it feels like you stay in a jungle oasis, with lovely flowers and plants everywhere. We loved our little wooden chalet Bilit which had a big bath tub outside and a balcony looking out to the jungle, we even spotted orangutans from it - so cool! It’s very convenient that you can walk to the main spots in Sepilok and other hotels like the Banana cafe where we had a nice lunch.

The place is a bit outside of Sepilok which makes it imho better, since Grab is so cheap and easy to get. The atmosphere is immaculate and I saw one of the best sunrises of my life. The dorm is very nicely organised and guarantees privacy. The staff is super welcoming and the food good
