We were quite skeptical when booking this hotel due to other reviews but man, we’re glad we did. From the beginning, the reception staff was so warm and kind. When checking in they showed us that there is a bat residing at our cottage and kindly asked us not to bother it which was great as in the middle of the jungle you are the guest. Then we headed to the restaurant where you are asked to leave your shoes outside which is giving the area a cozy and familiar vibe. Once in the restaurant, you are on a wooden deck surrounded by jungle, trees with birds & squirrels, frangipani trees and a scenic view and an even better feeling to be in such an amazing place. The food was the best I had in 2 weeks - a base of asian with touches of european, just perfect. The room was what I feared most as accomodations in the jungle is usually filled with bugs. But we had absolutely no problem - maybe a few ants in the bath but that’s it. We had mosquito spray in the room - sprayed the room before dinner just as a prevention and it was perfect. Bedsheets, bathroom, all clean. And the view from the balcony - priceless. Our cottage was not the newest but they are actively working on the construction so the place is just going to get better and better. Also, 800 m from the urangutan and sun bears centers - a lovely 10 minutes walk. We highly reccommend.

I had a generally good stay at Sepilok Jungle Resort (SJR). The room I got was clean, unlike some reviews mentioning bed bugs. The staff were helpful, and the food was delicious, though a bit pricey (RM15 for ice lemon tea!). One of the best things about this resort is its strategic location. It’s very close to Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC), and the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre. If you love nature and wildlife, this is a great place to stay since you can visit these attractions easily.

    After a busy day out it's great to come back to relax and swim in the lovely pool at the sabah hotel. The manager was very welcoming ,helpful and friendly. Really easy and cheap to use 'grab' for transport.

    It was OK quite expensive for a little bit of a dated hotel. But the room was good and the pool area was lovely to relax it. All just a little bit tired. Breakfast was OK but not great.

    Relaxing by the pool. The brilliant staff. Particularly but not only - Gentleman on reception who sorted out our room and upgrade. The lady serving the drinks oh and the cakes in the lounge bar. The bell boy team and Ringo (Starr) the best taxi driver in Sabah.
