Sepilok Nature Lodge - Formerly Known As Sepilok Nature Resort - Sandakan

Beautiful lake cabins

Liked the twin room with bunk beds, felt like we were home. The outdoor restaurant was romantic with lots of meals in the menu.

The location was magnificent and stunning, near the Rainforest Discovery Centre, which was also very much worth the visit as well as the beautiful nature. The room was reasonably large and stylish with an astonishing view of 'stay in jungle'. The people working in the hotel were friendly efficient and responsive.

Orangutans Around Every Corner

Woke up to the sounds of nature, spotting curious orangutans right outside. The staff was attentive, always eager to share tips for wildlife viewing.

It detracted slightly from our peaceful retreat.

Attentive staff, beautifully designed, spotless room with a nice terrace, nice bathroom, a single standing bath. Lots of good options for meal. Absolutely perfect location of the hotel with free parking. Found in the pretty quiet area.

It was a pleasant experience. The room was large and brand-new with shower, comfortable bed plus a hammock...

Attentive and friendly staff.

The wifi only worked for the first day, leaving us without any internet for four days. The room was quite dark, especially for someone with poor eyesight. Thankfully, the front desk provided us with a desk lamp, a small comfort in an otherwise frustrating experience.

The lodge is a wonderful spot to unwind after long travels, especially with a toddler. Breakfast was good, with picturesque views of the lake. We were thrilled to see a mother orangutan with her baby nearby during our meal. Really makes it special!

In my wife's opinion, they should have a small play area for kids. Just a little space would make it a lot easier for families.

would love to stay here again

The rooms are super spacious with air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a bathtub facing a lovely pond. You get a balcony with a view, towels provided, and a desk. The common area has comfy sun loungers right by the lake was great.

magical experiences , but limited connectivity

The rooms were fine, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. The staff were very good. Watching the orangutans from our balcony was a amazing experience that we will never forget. This place excelled in giving us nice moments.

The only downside was the limited wi-fi, available only in public areas, hard to stay connected .

the only downside was the lack of wi-fi in the rooms. however, the cabin was beautiful (especially the views over the lake! ). the staff was incredibly helpful, and the food was delicious. easy walk to see the orangutans!

The cabin offered a serene escape with its spacious design and high vaulted wooden ceilings. A highlight was the delicious locally caught fish served at the restaurant, which also provided fine views of the surrounding nature. The staff were friendly and even assisted us with our water bottle, our stay was comfortable. The Wi-Fi was limited to public areas, and we found ourselves wanting more charging outlets in the room.

The chalets were clean and beautiful, perfectly blending luxury with nature. It was just a quick walk to see the orangutans and the staff were great.

wi-fi only in public areas

Beautiful cabins by the lake, but wi-fi only works in public areas.

I had an amazing stay! The chalets were beautiful with lovely tubs, and I was thrilled to spot orangutans right outside my cabin! The food, especially the sweet and sour chicken, was delicious!
