The location is perfect, 5 min walk to RDC and 20 min walk to the orangutan sanctuary. The place itself is beautiful and peaceful with small wooden lodges. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful. I wanted to extend an extra night and there was no availability, but somehow they moved things around and I was able to stay in my old bed. They have a kitchen on site, so you can have dinners here and it's reasonably priced (taking into account the prices in cafes nearby). Waking up to the sound of birds and falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest. Beautiful experience!

Location is great for a one-night stay before catching your flight - airport is 8 munites away. The hotel upgraded my room for free, which was very nice of them. It's located next to lots of food options and there's an Instar supermarket across the road.

It is well worth staying at least two nights at Sepilok, so that one can attend both feeding sessions at the orang utan centre, visit the sunbear rehabilitation centre AND spend time at the wonderful Rainforest Discovery Centre. The latter deserves a few hours, preferably in the afternoon and leading up to dusk, as one can see so much wildlife,. The canopy walkway is amazing.

Most people go there to visit the orangutans sanctuary.

Most people go there to visit the orangutans sanctuary. It is excellent . Obviously they cannot guarantee animals will come to feeding platform, but when they do, you could spend a long time simply watching them.

Sepilok was excellent and safe.

Sepilok was excellent and safe. Small view of local life and excellent option to walk to each destination there from the resort we picked. Great way to recover from jet lag and we the jungle before we went out on the Kinabatangan river. Ate at the resorts and the orangutan center was fun outside of just the feeding as the apes stuck around on the railings!! Then the jungle night was was very fun with excellent guides who were very passionate finding us several of the nocturnal monkeys.

Only a 20 minute ride from Sandakan Airport so it’s worthwhile checking out for the day. There is only about 1 whole days worth of activities in the area I.e. the Orangutan Center, the Sun Bear center and then the rainforest discovery Center. I probably wouldn’t recommend more than 1 day in this area unless you want to do some of the extensive forest and mangrove walls that are at the rainforest discovery Center - but they’re more for the dry season rather than the rainy season. I strongly do NOT recommend the probiscus sanctuary back in Sandakan as it’s more of a single species zoo only - it’s much better to get out to the nearby Kandabangan River Area

The only reason to stay a night is to ensure you get to the Orang Utan reserve just after 9am (let the initial queue go down) to watch the 10am feeding. Otherwise, stay elsewhere and drive to the reserve/get a Grab/bus it, and watch the 3pm feed, and then go back to your hotel.

I enjoyed Sepilok very much!

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!

Great location 5 min walk to the RDC and 20 min walk to the orangutan and sunbear sanctuaries. We saw squirrels and oriental hornbills from our room. There were also geckos about. Breakfast provided was simple but good. Lunch/dinner available for purchase was okay but not outstanding. Be aware that there are no shops nearby so if you want snacks or other supplies (e.g. to cook in your room) you're best to pick them up in Sandakan before coming to Sepilok.

Amazing location, where you have jungle right in your garden. Very close to Orangutan sanctuary. Even with those downs, I consider it as one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. There are night walks (we did both, hotel and RDC and both were different and very exciting). During the morning, you can just walk to the “garden”/jungle and see monkeys in the wild, watch birds. It also jas swimming pool but we did not use it, but it looked nice.

The place is a bit outside of Sepilok which makes it imho better, since Grab is so cheap and easy to get. The atmosphere is immaculate and I saw one of the best sunrises of my life. The dorm is very nicely organised and guarantees privacy. The staff is super welcoming and the food good
