We did the river trips and stayed for 2 nights The whole experience was amazing. We booked with River Junkie The hotel is laid back and relaxed. The layout is attractive, colonial rooms, well spaced out with balconies overlooking the river, comfortable beds with good linen. Great bathroom, large bedroom tastefully decorated Good food, met many lovely guests. Our guide, Azrol was informative and knowledgeable, saw most of the big five, just not Orangutans😢 I would really recommend this place

Loved the jungle setting and thd boardwalks between buildings taking you across the various lakes on the complex. Rooms themselves though a little "tired". Resort had more of a backpacker feel to it than a resort, but location great and easy walking distance to the Orang Utan centre and Sun Bear centre. A little frustrating that the restaurant area closes so early (9pm with last orders at 8.30pm) as this meant we were a bit stuck when comjng back from the nightwalk at the Rainforest Discovery Centre.

My room smelt horribly and they used a freshener to try to cover it up. Bed was just okay, a/c was so far from the bed, it was kind of ineffective. The restaurant and breakfast was great though.

Great value in Sepilok
Stayed for 3 nights at the Seilok Jungle Resort and had a really good time. Staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel has the best location for visiting the attractions in Sepilok. Our room was comfortable, although mosquito nets for the beds would have been good, as there is plenty of wildlife onsite! Breakfast was substantial and the onsite restaurant offers a good range of options for evening meal. The pool is a bonus and very welcome after a hot day in the rainforest. Value for money is excellent, making this a great option for a stay in Sepilok.

Great value hotel.
This is a great value hotel, it’s a little tired around the edges and needs some updating, but the staff and service more than make up for this. I read some reviews about the food not being so good but we found it lovely particularly the traditional Malaysian food, who wants chicken nuggets anyway in Borneo!!! There is loads of wildlife to see in the grounds alone and lots to do in the area. We stayed 4 days and did everything we wanted as well as some downtime round the pool (which does need some updating/maintenance).

Amazing Stay. Highly Recommend
The hotel is very nice for a jungle resort and the rooms are cleaned daily. We stayed in one of the superior rooms and the A/C worked very well. The food is excellent at the hotel and they have beer and wine too. Service is amazing and we even saw monkeys on the property in the middle of the day. Pool is nice when it’s not raining and it’s an easy walk to the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries. The wifi is also surprisingly very fast, I was getting 60-80mb on average. Definitely would recommend this place.
