Beautiful hotel with a resort feel. We had a junior suite with a balcony and pool view. Perfect place to relax after a long flight. Taxis are cheap and easy to get (use the Grab app). We did a couple of day trips - Orangutan sanctuary etc with our fantastic driver Ringo.

Fantastic resort, great location, excellent design, spacious rooms, helpful, polite and smiling staff, very good food. We much appreciated the setting in nature, being close to the rainforest. We were so lucky - after breakfast a mother orangutan with its baby sitting on a tree just beside the outside restaurant.....

I had a generally good stay at Sepilok Jungle Resort (SJR). The room I got was clean, unlike some reviews mentioning bed bugs. The staff were helpful, and the food was delicious, though a bit pricey (RM15 for ice lemon tea!). One of the best things about this resort is its strategic location. It’s very close to Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC), and the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. If you love nature and wildlife, this is a great place to stay since you can visit these attractions easily.

After a busy day out it's great to come back to relax and swim in the lovely pool at the sabah hotel. The manager was very welcoming ,helpful and friendly. Really easy and cheap to use 'grab' for transport.

It was OK quite expensive for a little bit of a dated hotel. But the room was good and the pool area was lovely to relax it. All just a little bit tired. Breakfast was OK but not great.

Relaxing by the pool. The brilliant staff. Particularly but not only - Gentleman on reception who sorted out our room and upgrade. The lady serving the drinks oh and the cakes in the lounge bar. The bell boy team and Ringo (Starr) the best taxi driver in Sabah.
