Ormond Sandakan ★★★★
"The Ormond itself was great, but Sandakan isn’t the best area, nothing much around Sandakan itself, but it is a great base for heading to the jungle in Sepilok to do activities there. Staff at the hotel was great and very accommodating. Pool area is beautiful - very popular. Restaurant on the pool level was also excellent - really fantastic food. Gym was also a good size. Rooms were clean and nice but nothing too special in my opinion but it was still a nice stay."

Sabah Hotel ★★★★
"The rooms are a bit old, but they've been renovated. The service is decent, and the hotel feels like a small tropical garden. The Chinese food is excellent, with generous portions and affordable prices, and they even have Cantonese dim sum. Most of the guests are Westerners. The location is also pretty good; it's a 5-6 RM taxi ride to the beach. A common thing with hotels in Malaysia is the tourism tax. However, if you've booked through a platform, it's usually pre-paid. So, when we're asked to pay cash on the spot, we always show a copy or digital version of our booking confirmation. It helps if your English is good, otherwise you might end up paying twice. The platform has a responsibility to inform hotels if payment has already been made online."
