Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm.
Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm. It is OK and you can find a small number of nice enough places to eat and drink, if you set your mind to it. I would not want to have stayed there more than one day and I won’t be going back anytime soon.

We used Sandakan as the gateway to Turtle Island and the Kinabatangan River. We had lunch in a central hotel which was fine, not a lot for vegetarians but the service was good. We could have spent a little longer there, it seems easy to get around.MaxineUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

Great little town, wouldn’t spend more than a day or two here unless you were using as a base to go and see the orangutans and rainforest discovery centre or island tours. Great water front dinners. Shopping mall and grocery store close to water front. Nice vibe.WendyAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0
It’s my home town and I have lots of fond memories.
It’s my home town and I have lots of fond memories. Fresh seafood paradise and amazing mixed cuisine with traditional Chinese, Malaysian food and Indian dishes. Everything in the food market is super cheap and fresh. The town centre is looking undeveloped and unloved.PeaseUnited Kingdom - 4.0Scored 4.0

Not much to do in the town or much to see and nowhere very nice places to eat/drink. Unfortunately it is quite run down so book a decent hotel to stay in and make the most of the experiences available in the area.NormaUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Beautiful place. Lots of nature.
Beautiful place. Lots of nature. We visited the Borneo Sunbear conservation centre, The orang utan sanctuary, the Rainfoest Discovery Centre and the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Centre. All above were very interesting and nicely done. However, you do need a car to get about as distances are far from Sabah Hotel. Ride-sharing app (Grabcar) is a good alternative. Seafood is cheap, plentiful and yummy in the Chinese restaurants

Contact with the host was provided. Washing machine was working great. While we were there in the first few days the host installed WiFi Internet. It worked great. It was nice to have a rice cooker and electric kettle in the kitchen. Balcony had a nice view and had a drying rack for our Laundry.ChrisCanada

I work remote and after getting to the resort, found out the wifi didn’t work and I had no cell service (U mobile has no coverage here). the wonderful hotel staff let me use their hotspots so I could get work done. the price seems high for the area, but it was clean, the food was good, and the river was close.
JustinUnited States - From £40.66 per night1.0Scored 1.0Very poorRated very poor· 1 reviewBooking.com service very bad. I’m badly disappointed with you. I’ve paid for the apartment and when we arrived at Sandakan, the receptionist told me that the unit is not available! I’ve travell all the way from Kota Kinabalu with my family, and we have to spend that night at nearby Petronas station because there is no hotel available to check in.IgnatiusMalaysia
