Perfectly located for the Sepilok orang utan and Borneo bear sanctuaries! Also the RDC! The hotel is set in a beautiful location and is full of stunning views! The owners were very welcoming and willing to share their passionate stories about the hotel! Breakfast was good - different on both mornings. Tasty and light food to set you up for the days! Dinner was also good - nice menu catering for everyone. The rooms are clean and simple - just how they should be in a rain forest!

We stayed for 2 nights, it was good value for money. This resort is located in the jungle so you can enjoy peaceful environment. Very close to orangutan and sunbear sanctuary. Breakfast options are very limited. Some things could be improved for example notice about renovation taking place in the resort, we touched few times freshly painted barrier and had problem to remove it from the body, there was no sign about that which was a bit annoying. Rooms also need some touch. Pool was nice, but opening hours are quite short (9am-5:30pm). Overall experience was good.

We did not manage to stay at this hotel for the whole of our booking, the room was dirty with ants all over the floor and suspicious stains all over the yellowed bedding. The shower didn't reach the holder and ran cold water only. Staff at the restaurant audibly laughed when we spoke to them and the food was limited and poor. As a 2 star establishment I was not expecting much but I do expect a clean room.

Great spot for Sepilok just a bit run down

We enjoyed our stay here. Its a perfect location for exploring the sanctuaries and the food is average. There isnt loads around so its definitely fine for the few days you may be here. The grounds are beautiful and rooms were clean and spacious. The place just looks a bit run down but is fine for the price you pay.
