Great place to stay. Super relaxing and a 5 min drive to the Sepilok centre. They will drive you for free. Noone was there to pick me up from the junction when they said they would be and the public pay phone wouldnt work. Easier to get picked up if you have cell phone. Water varied from luke warm to cold though. Otherwise really great place to realx and quiet.

amazing building in the rainforest, very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. close to the orangutan and rainforest discovery centre and a good base for tours, but not much else there - just the rainforest of course. very remote and tranquil.

We love this place! It's paradise far from the street, in the middle of the jungle:) But lovely staff will pick u up from the main road. They will take u also to Orang Utan Rehabilitation Center for free! Staff - we had chance to meet Rose and Yust (hope we write it good:) are very helpful, always willing to chat with u and give u good advice:) Highly recommend this place!!!

Heaven is here! gorgeous rooms, amazing outdoor indoor bathrooms amongst the trees, wonderfull helpful staff.. quiet reatreat location and awesome food. its about a 5 min drive to Sepilok, but they are more than happy to drop you off and pick you up. No town, no noise except the wonderful wilderness. This is a must do place to stay. At least do 3 nights! Oh and the beds are heaven, doonas and soft pillows and air con! couldnt ask for more. thanks heaps for our stay. best choice we made!

Seriously, this is THE most beautiful hostel out there on Borneo. Awesome view, EXACTLY like in the pictures. The staff is sooo incredible friendly and helpful. And I'm seriously not exaggerating. If you've been around in Malaysia, you know that the water pressure in the bathrooms are awful. BUT the water pressure in Paganakan is just awesome! What else... the internet is lightning fast (for Malaysian standards). The food is good and cheap too (RM5-12). You have a fridge and freezer to use!
