Amazing place, locations, rooms , staff and service was outstanding. Food in restaurant was also superb, my compliments to all the Sepilok Team for making my short stay a truly wonderful experience. The place is in the rainforest, so do expect insects and wildlife around, this should not be suprising, its a amazing place to get away from the city life. Thank you to everyone at the Sepilok Nature Lodge again, hope to see you all again soon :)

Loved it all

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is good and the grounds are nice.

I did not like that they insisted we have to have two rooms. We are a family with two small children and they insisted we could not all fit in one room. Because of limited options in the area, we booked two rooms as they insisted but upon arrival the rooms and bed accommodations were clearly large enough for us all to comfortably be in one room. I understand person limits for adults but for a family, I feel like this should be at our discretion.

Excellent staff, nice cottages, wonderful views within the Lodge area, good bar and restaurant on terrace overlooking the Lake ( Lake Bistro!) Excellent thin crust pizzas, by the way. And just a couple of minutes walk from the Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, and the Sun Bear Cnservation area. Both well worth the visit.

The water supply is inconsistent ( and not potable) but the lodge does provide lots of bottled water, but it would be more environmentally responsible to ditch the plastic and invest in a water filter, or purification system.Especially in view of the reasosn we all come to Sepilok - to see the poor threatened species in their ecosystem. But in addition to this, the wiring in our cottage and outside in the pathways was very dodgy; sometimes we had light , and at other times we had only partial light, unpredictable as to which lights would light and when or even stranger, light bulbs that stayed semi-lit for long after they had been switched off. This does seem like a warning sign that all is not well with the wiring system.

Clean room with good bathroom fixtures, lush setting with all kinds of trees and shrubbery. You can even see orangutans at the top of the trees on the hotel property! Location is walking distance to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center, and not far from the Rainforest Discovery Center.

It is the jungle, so you might see ants near the bathroom sink area, but no big deal. We used a bit of insect spray and it worked well. Not a problem, and expected as we are surrounded by nature with gorgeous trees everywhere. Restaurant food is okay, though a bit pricey, maybe because there are limited restaurants nearby.

The cabins or bungalows are lovely. Most, including ours, are nestled among tropical plants and trees. It is incredibly peaceful and picturesque. I sat outside and enjoyed the tranquility, listening to birds and insects and could occasionally hear a distant monkey or elephant. It was heaven! We saw red leaf monkeys just over head in the canopy two days in a row. We also made friends with Nan, our waiter. Who was kind and helpful and has a great smile. He taught us several words in Bahasi. When our Grab car didn’t show up, the hotel manager was quick to help us get a maxim taxi. We made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare… in less than 30 minutes.

The lodges were really spacious, comfortable and clean. They were well sealed and I didn’t have any insects etc in the lodge. There was even a bath! The staff organised a couple of trips to help make the most of my (just under) 48h there. I enjoyed the night walk starting at the rainforest discovery centre and would highly recommend the boat trip on the Kanibatangan river - loads of wildlife to be seen! The Sun Bear and Orang Utan conservation centre are just 5 minutes walk away.

There is WiFi in the public areas only. The food was fine but not amazing. However it is easiest to eat there as there aren’t really any nearby alternatives for an evening meal

Great eco lodge conveniently located a short walk to the Orangutang Rehab Centre and the Sun Bear Conservation Centre. Nice grounds and cabins. The food at their restaurant was very good and the staff were wonderful. Would highly recommend the Sepilok Nature Lodge if you want to spend time in the Borneo rainforest.

Minor complaint is that the air conditioning unit in our cabin wasn’t keeping our cabin cool enough in the Borneo heat.

We had a wonderful time at Sepilok Nature Lodge. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The lodges were beautiful and well equipped, and the location was perfect - right next to the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries. The food and drink at the restaurant was very good too, we particularly enjoyed the delicious juices while overlooking the lake and watching all the beautiful wildlife. We saw hornbills, monkeys, monitor lizards and all kinds of beautiful birds and insects. We would not hesitate to recommend Sepilok Nature Lodge!

The property is within 5 minutes walk of the sun bear and orangutan sanctuaries and within 30 minutes walk of the rain forest discovery centre. The grounds are beautifully natural and it is quite clearly a large/medium size establishment but when we were there in mid November ( admittedly low season) only 4-5 of the individual “chalets” were actually occupied. We ate one evening meal ( beef rendang) and one breakfast there ( omelette and local fruit plus coffee) and the quality of the food was pretty good especially the rendang and prices were around £6 for the evening meal and £5 for breakfast with the Tiger beer ( small can ) around £3.

Shower a little temperamental and you have to push a button and wait 5-10 minutes for water to heat up but when it does it doesn’t last long. There is a swimming pool planned but not sure when this will be ready Nice to sit in bar/terrace area and look out over lake This is a brilliant place if you want to base yourself near the two rehab centres for the bears and orangutans as allows you to just walk down the road and we went to both the afternoon and morning sessions at the orangutan centre Not so great if you want to see Sandakan as it’s a fairly decent taxi ride from here back into town

The location is right next to the Sepilok Orang Utan rehabilitation center, so couldn't be better if you have come to Borneo to see Orang Utans. The lodge is beautifully constructed from timber and surrounds a pond. There are many large trees and tropical plants throughout the premises. The food at the restaurant was excellent, especially the pizzas.The bedroom was very spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Nice tea and coffee provided in the rooms with a kettle. There was also a bathtub in our bathroom.
