I really like that it is closer to the Discover Center, the sun bear conservation center and sepilok
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.

Able to visit the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries at leisure as able to walk to them from accommodation. Those on a trip appeared to be rushed whereas we were able to enjoy time at both. Some nice places to eat within the various lodges, you don't have to be resident.

The glamping unit was amazing - spacious, quiet, nicely decorated. Great for a family. Awesome, helpful staff. Good food and bar. But unit had cooking facilities (no pork allowed on the grill.)
A ways from town but very close to other attractions like the Orangutan and Honey Bear sanctuaries.
WiFi was only available in the restaurant, but with our cell phones, we managed just fine.
The grounds were extensive with wildlife all around. The airconditioned cabins are simple but comfortable.The attentive restaurant staff were also amazing at spotting wildlife and helping the guests to identify and see the wildlife. We saw an Orangutang in their grounds feeding on jackfruit. The restaurant served excellent food and cocktails and it was a lovely meeting point for hotel guests who were all interested in the wildlife and photography. Staff arrange cheap taxis to the sanctuaries if you don't fancy the 10 minutes walk.
Such a fantastic place to stay - highly recommend! The rooms themselves were lovely and spacious and had good air con and hot water. The small restaurant served delicious food so definitely give that a try. The staff were really helpful too and they also offer a free shuttle bus to the sights in Sepilok - Orangutans or Sunbears or the RDC! They also did our laundry so quickly and it was so cheap.
They also have sunbeds and hammocks overlooking the rainforest too!
We had a fantastic few days!
I am satisfied as a birder as in the yard of this hotel I saw black and red broadbill, blue throated bee eater, baya weaver and even a Malayan night heron, a rare bird which I think might still stay in the yard. The location is also good, maybe the nearest hotel to the Rainforest Discovery Center.
The location is great - only few minutes to Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. I also like whole resort complex - very natural look.
clean, included breakfast, food available for lunch and dinner, had dorm rooms, close to the orangutan rehabilitation centre, friendly helpful staff, family-run
