This hotel is suitable for an overnight stay if you're catching an early flight after a Kinabatangan River cruise. The room was a bit dark, but everything else was fine. It has a cabin-style vibe with a small garden and a tiny pool. As for breakfast, it's just like a standard budget hotel breakfast, so don't expect too much. The staff were very enthusiastic.
The nearby Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC) is very close and worth a visit, and you can also book a night tour there. As for the Sun Bear Conservation Centre and the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, honestly, only go if you're really bored and have money to spare! Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) really misleads people; anyone who goes will regret it. Once you've been, you'll truly understand the quality of the zoos back home.
The Sun Bear Centre just cages a few bears. The orangutan centre is no different: everyone sits in a glass enclosure watching a group of monkeys (not orangutans!) eat bananas and vegetables on an outdoor platform – basically watching them ”mukbang.” Then you watch a few orangutans ”mukbang” on another open-air platform. We couldn't bear to watch it. After seeing how wild animals live on the Kinabatangan River, these scenes were just unbearable.
Convenient location, five minutes walk to the rainforest, 15 minutes to the orangutan center. There is a shared kitchen with a stove and dishes. The room is spacious, the bed linen is snow-white. There is hot water in the shower, the water pressure is not very strong. Breakfast is not great, but you will not go hungry. Prices in the cafe in the hotel and the cafe next door are the same, dishes are 18-20 ringgit per one, we did not eat so I do not know about the taste. A good place, but not wow.
A treehouse in the jungle, exactly what we were looking for! Mosquito nets in good condition, an open-air (private) bathroom, and the sound of crickets to fall asleep to. The common areas are pleasant, the welcome was cheerful, and the food was very healthy.
Sandakn inn hotel is the best.
