The property was set out beautifully with an open plan dining area looking over the forest edge. We stayed in a dorm room, which was clean, well maintained and the mosquito screens in good condition. A breakfast buffet was provided and the food at the restaurant was of a good standard. In line with other reviews, the staff were friendly and made our stay pleasant.

The dorm room did become quite warm in the day, and while cooled by fans, would have been made more comfortable in the day and early evenings by having air conditioning. The restaurant, while great food, was expensive compared to other options in the area.

Beautiful scenery and great location. Comfortable, quiet room, no daily cleaning. Nice restaurant with very good food, kind service, beautiful setting on a terrace. Reception staff very kind and helpful. I wish the communication would have been better before arrival. I had several questions regarding programs and dynamics around the stay ahead of arrival, and the answers were delayed and not detailed enough. Thus, I’ve made the mistake to hire a driver suggested by the previous hotel in Sandakan to take me to Sepilok and drive me to Kinabatangan, which was absolutely unnecessary.

Our first couple of days in Borneo and an ideal start. Glamping was fun as sleeping surrounded by jungle and the tent facilities were excellent. Don’t expect anything more than mood lighting. The bathroom is a small building separate to the tent but bang next door. Delightful and responsive staff including dealing with what turned out to be an old squirrel’s nest behind the air conditioning unit! Plunge pool was a highlight for us all but especially the two children. Great food. To my surprise there was - limited - alcohol available and we enjoyed a bottle of Italian red wine albeit at UK restaurant prices. Easy reach of the Sepilok Sanctuary. What’s good enough for Dame Judi Dench was good enough for us!

Fruit squash for breakfast rather than decent juice. Since being there we’ve had an abundance of amazing juices and it’s a shame to offer watery thin liquid instead. We were also not shown all the facilities including the second WC as part of the bathroom block.

Delightful. We had booked a standard chalet but were upgraded to a deluxe and very nice it was too, situated up on the hill with a wow-factor view of the trees from the balcony. All very comfortable. Decent air con, too. We enjoyed the plunge pool very much, and relaxing with a drink while watching the birds from the beautiful (covered, but outdoor) restaurant deck was wonderful - even when the heavens opened as they do in Borneo (each room is supplied with an umbrella which is a lovely touch). Dinner and lunch were much better than breakfast - the latter was very mixed in quality, but our meals the previous day were very enjoyable. The staff are absolutely terrific - friendly and very helpful, going way out of their way for us. Useful information: I’d read various reviews mentioning that although it’s easy to get a Grab *to* the area, it’s a different matter when it comes to getting one *from*. Our departure was time-sensitive as we were catching a flight so I took the precaution of booking a taxi via the hotel. Although obviously more expensive than a Grab, it was very fairly priced and was utterly reliable - the taxi was ready and waiting for us when we turned up, even though we were actually a little early. Unfortunately the hotel jungle trail was closed for repairs while we were there, but the rest of the grounds that we could wander through were gorgeous, and it really is walking distance to the orangutan and sun bear centres.

Lighting in the room leaves a bit to be desired - rather dim and no bedside lamps, and the shower drainage was a bit sluggish although the shower itself was great - hot and plentiful. They served the tiniest Americano coffee I have ever seen - two mouthfuls! (I did check to make sure that they hadn’t misheard and given me an espresso instead!) Breakfast, as I mentioned above, was very mixed in quality. Overall, the negatives are pretty minor - I’d happily re-book :)

Very beautiful location, and friendly staff. I liked the dining area, where you can sit and play games. The outdoor shower was great! The staff helps you with your luggage and that’s a great service to offer. The huts are very nice, but there is a few things that would make the experience a lot better, fx the mirror in the bathroom is useless when the only thing you can see is your stomach, unless you are a kid. Put the mirror in the room, you don’t have to have a mirror the the bathroom, and more hooks to put clothes on in the room would also make it more enjoyable.

Staff were brilliant - always helpful and friendly . They went out of their way when we left to get us a taxi to the airport when we realised that a Grab to airport wouldn’t work . Rooms are clean and have a lovely balcony . The resort is a 15 min walk to the orangutan sanctuary and about a 30 min walk to the Rainforest centre - down a gravel track to start with but quite safe lots of people walking it . Restaurant area is good and a reasonably priced menu . The plunge pool is nice after sightseeing.

The chairs by the plunge pool need cushions and the towels they give you are very thin

The lodge is very close to the Orangutang and Sun Bear rehab centres. I was there in Monsoon season so didn’t see the property at its best, but the central lodge and chalets, while simply constructed, offer a good base from which to visit the nearby centres. Breakfast was very simple but there is a useful restaurant facility in the central lodge for lunch or dinner. There’s WiFi service and I was just about able to benefit from cellular data service too. Staff were great and very friendly. Don’t forget insect repellent since you are likely to end up feeding the smaller wildlife without meaning to if you forget!

Hard for me to judge fairly since I picked a bad weather season (late November) so everything was soaking and thundery. In general I’d be hard pushed to find fault with anything major.

we really enjoyed our stay here! Although you are never guaranteed, we saw many different kinds of animals and plants including two orangoutangs! You really are in the edge of the jungle. The beds and cabin was comfortable. The plunge pool (about 2 feet deep and 25 feet diameter) was a very relaxing place to cool off. The staff were very friendly. One of the guys there was looking for wildlife and would point it out to you-he is the one who spotted the two orangoutangs and came to our cabin to let us know they were close because he knew we really wanted to see them! The breakfast buffet was small but always delicious. This resort was a bit more expensive than we usually pay for a place in Southeast Asia, but it was absolutely worth it!

The food at the restaurant was delicious! But a bit overpriced.

Great location, as the name says, it's on the edge of the forest. There is a forest trail out the back, I did walk it one morning, wear proper footwear as it was a steep at points, takes about 30 minutes to walk the loop through the forest. We saw a wild Orangutan in the grounds one morning, which was amazing, definitely the highlight of our stay. Beds are comfortable, the AC is good, its clean, good food, (vegetarian options were a little limited so I kept eating the same dishes but the food was delicious, I highly recomend the tofu dish and the eggplant dish). Breakfast buffet was comprehensive with lots of options. Good location for nearby attractions, you can easily walk to the orangutan sanctuary (about 500m), and if you're feeling up to it, the rainforest discovery centre is 1.4 miles away, so we walked it in about a half hour. Didn't spend much time in the grounds but they are well maintained and a nice setting. The balcony to our room had good views across the grounds (hence my partner spotted the orangutan in the grounds). Staff were attentive and helpful, including helping us book transport options. The whole place felt very safe and secure.

Room smelt a bit funny with the ac off. Shower above the bath could do with a shower screen to stop it spraying the floor if you're a bit tall. Only minor points though.

The location was amazing, the grounds were stunning and on several of our walks around we encountered orangutans, gibbons and red leaf monkeys, some of which were right outside our hut! The grounds also had a lake and little plunge pool which was nice for a cool off in the humid afternoon, there are also some walks you can take further into the rainforest which we enjoyed. From this resort it was only a short walk to visit the orangutan and sunbear sanctuaries, and a short taxi drive to the rainforest discovery centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they helped us to book our trips and organise transport etc. The restaurant was also very nice, it is situated overlooking the beautiful grounds and the food was tasty with a lot of variety on the menu, cocktails, beers etc. The breakfast was a buffet and had a fair bit of variety, we enjoyed the food and atmosphere overall. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay in sepilok, a great stay!
