Nature Lodge Sepilok
4.1/552 Reviews

Nature Lodge Sepilok

Sepilok|0.63km from Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC)
The hotel is in the jungle with all the good and bad things that come with it. On the plus side: close proximity to the Orangutan and Sun Bear Rehabilitation Centers, as well as the Rainforest Research Center. 5-15 minutes walk. Beautiful, almost untouched nature around. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed and pleasant. Rooms are good with spacious bathrooms. There is an air conditioner that works quite well. From the bad: tasteless monotonous food (there is no alternative, we are in the jungle) breakfasts are edible, but no more, poorly trained staff in the cafe, barely warm water in the shower in the morning (I did not dare to wash my hair), lack of brushes, combs, hair dryers and etc. However, all this is excusable, understandable, and I would not write about it if it were not for the ”icing on the cake”: just disgusting pillows. A piece of high dense foam rubber, from which the neck becomes numb in a minute. Falling asleep on this is not an easy task. It is difficult to explain this mockery of visitors by the conditions of the jungle.
Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Resort
4.4/525 Reviews

Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Resort

Sepilok|0.74km from Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC)
Beautiful stay with an atmosphere where the room is complete. Lovely comfortable bed, mosquito net, clean linen and air conditioning. The breakfast is very limited and not a must have to look forward to, which is a shame because it really completes your stay. Can they still improve? You pay more for each extra; yoga, water, etc. While if you order à la carte the food is delicious. The swimming pool is clean, the temperature of the surrounding area is not really cooling, but our kids had a great time in it. Enough beds around it. We were here because the rest around it was fully booked. In terms of price/quality ratio, I thought it was less and you don't have to be here in terms of extra luxury for what you pay. Too bad because with all the finishing touches, this would really be highly recommended! Perhaps too critical and by Malaysia standards this is a luxury :) The staff is super friendly, can sing well and is always willing to help you.
Sepilok Jungle Resort
3.9/546 Reviews

Sepilok Jungle Resort

Sepilok|1.41km from Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC)
I stayed at this resort for 2 nights, for the obvious reason of visiting the very close Sepilok Orangutans Rehabilitation Centre. I was a bit worried reading some of the reviews here but I had a very nice experience. The hotel is in the middle of the jungle and that is an experience itself. I had a room in the building 5 minutes walk from the main area (the less you pay, the more far you are). The food is not the best and I think it's a bit expensive for the quality. The swimming pool setting is very nice though I have skin issues and didn't use the pool (wasn't super clean). The staff is okay. They kept my bag for free at the reception with them since I had valuables and the room wasn't ready already (I arrived before check in time). They organized the transport back to the airport (it takes about 40 minutes by car, you can easily use Grab for around 19RM but leaving early in the morning I preferred to book in advance). The room is nice. A/C works (not too strong), bathroom is fine, bed and pillows a bit hard but nothing too extreme. All in all, it was an amazing experience. The hotel is walking distance to both the orangutans and the sun bear centres (literally a 5 minutes walk) and about half an hour to the Rainforest Discovery Center (beware of stray dogs not in the hotel, but in the area around it). I would suggest this place to people who don't mind basic accommodation and want to stay in the jungle. The atmosphere with the other guests was nice and relaxed. Free breakfast included with the room price (at least as I am typing this review). They can also book tours.
Sepilok Forest Edge Resort
4.3/544 Reviews

Sepilok Forest Edge Resort

Sepilok|1.64km from Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC)
The resort environment is very good. It is a ten-minute walk from the Orangutan Sanctuary. It is recommended to watch the feeding at 3 pm. You can go to the innermost nursery center at two o'clock to see the little orangutans playing. The service staff will not speak Chinese, but people. They are very good. In the morning, it is a simple buffet. There are many animals in the resort. The birds keep calling. The disadvantage is that the swimming pool is too small.

The Pavilion Hotel

The Pavilion Hotel

4.3/587 Reviews
Glad that I stayed just for 1 night, but that 1 night cause me to have a bar flu, as I am allergic to dusty. The place itself is okay, and quite convenient for those who just want to stay for a day transit, as it is near to the airport, and only 20mins to Sepilok Orang Utan. The place is rundown, as u can see in the pictures, they seem not to have effort to change the bad wall paper, clean the dusty etc. Really need to refurbish again. Stay away if u have an allergic to dusty, u will regret like me. But a good area for transit in terms of location. Breakfast food was just okay.

We stay for 2nights. 1st we got the room with electrical problem, as I request, they able to change another room for me. Lobby was clean. I got the ground floor room right beside the road. The room can hear sound of vehicle pass by, if unfortunately you get the people playing their motorbike then no choice. Nice location, right in IJM. Alot of food and drinks nearby. The room not so clean but acceptable.
