Sepilok Jungle Resort ★★

"Impressive facility in the middle of the jungle. The premises are huge with lakes, a restaurant, a large common area, a large pool, different kinds of rooms. They offer night tours of the property and even during the day it's possible to see wild animals and birds. Good breakfast, clean room and very close to the Orangutan and Sunbear centres."

Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Resort
8.9 (47 reviews)

Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Resort ★★

📍 1.5KM, Jalan Sepilok, Sepilok

"We stayed in January 2026, three of us. We were greeted with a positive attitude by a cheerful guy at reception. We checked in quickly, received welcome drinks, and were assigned to a cottage in the park. It was a great room. We settled in and went to dinner. They cooked a delicious balaniru with mashed potatoes. Then we went for a swim in the pool. It's close to the bears and orangutans. We rented a car at Mandakan Airport, about 6,000 rubles a day, and drove to Simporn. Breakfast was included, and it was delicious. The grounds are beautifully lit, and the reception area is beautifully decorated."

The Pavilion Hotel ★★★
"stayed here for two nights. get seperate bookings. cleanliness is on top. location, i would say easy access to highway. that means its easier to get to newrby attractions like crocodile farm and whatnots. got restaurant just in front of the hotel. 99 mart nearby and so many other shops. the first room doesn’t include hairdryer so its a bit of a hassle. other than that, everything js on top. philips iron steam that works really well, well-stocked stash. my booking came with breakfast. each day, different menu. for me, it is an all-rounder as they serve well-accepted dish. as the space to eat is limited (ground floor space & extended to the first floor but need to climb up stairs), i just found out on my last day that we can actually bring up the food to our room. all in all, mantul 🥰"

Borneo Sepilok Rainforest Resort ★★
"I loved this hotel; I thought it was the best in the area. The food is good. It's very close to the orangutan activities and the Rainforest Discovery Center. August is the most popular time of year, so all the private cabins were already booked. Only the 6-bed shared rooms were left, but I still decided to stay here because the hotel is so beautiful. In the end, there were only 3 of us in the room. The walk to the room is on an elevated dock, full of trees and flowers. You pass by all the chalets, and it's very pleasant. You feel like you're in the middle of the jungle at all times. The only detail I didn't like is that the pool is very dirty, full of floating moss."
