This jungle resort is the closest accommodation to the Sepilok Oragutan Rehabilitation Centre. The grounds of this accommodation is stunning. Very helpful staff, who helped when our internal flight was changed.

It wasn't my best stay in a foreign country. The word resort does not fit the facility. The location is good you are close the Orangutans and the Proboscis monkeys. The catch is to get there besides using the resorts transportation. They triple what you can pay a taxi.One last thing, the pictures do not match the place. Good Luck and have fun. I still made it a great time. I did meet some cool people while I was there.

Great location - literally a 5 minute walk to the orang-utan sanctuary. Staff were pretty unhelpful though when we had questions and we found asking staff at other nearby resorts worked much better. They did arrange a great one day and one night trip at their lodge in Bilet however and we saw some fantastic wildlife there. The rooms in Sepilok were a good size and clean, and the pool was really nice although full of groups of school students and you had to pay to use it.

Nice big place with pool and resturant. Wouldnt recommend it to anyone thats not going to need the proximity to the Orangutan rehabilitation center(or other activities near by) cause its in the middle of nowhere. But for a couple of days of relaxing by the pool it was perfect.

Great staff, very helpful and friendly, willing to offer excellent travel advice. We stayed in a private double room, which was fine, but not quite what we expected for the price. Only minor criticism therefore is value for money. All in all a great place.
