    I stayed in the dorms, and there was no AC which was hard in the heat. However the price was low and you get what you pay for.

    Very peaceful location in close proximity to the main attractions. The dinning area and surroundings were lovely. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful.

    Only thing really was breakfast. It wasn’t hot. It’s left in dishes but with no heat to keep it warm and no fresh juice.

    We had a lovely cabin.

    Food at the restaurant was very nice but westernised and more pricey than local places (their nasi lemak burger was amazing though and recipe was created in the restahrant with home made burger bun, plus their home made papaya jam at breakfast is amazing) . Air con broke in the room after the first night but it was fine since there was a fan.

    Beautiful location, walking distance from the orangutan sanctuary and sun bear sanctuary (10min) and rainforest discovery centre (25 min). Really nice lodge with balcony view of the rain forest, we saw many birds, squirrels and bats from the balcony. Really helpful and friendly staff. I had lost my phone charger plug at the airport and they kindly lent me theirs for my entire stay, Thank you so much! Really friendly waiter, thanks for all the lovely stories Mi!

    The lodges were great and clean We had a long walk to ours but that was fine since we had great views and managed to see so much wildlife from our balcony. Only negative was that we had no way to contact the reception from the lodge and since there was no phone in room. My husband has heart disease and we needed this as precautionary measure. I am happy to say the hotel provided us with a walkie-talkie which reassured us.

    We loved the location. It was eco friendly and everything in it was thoughtfully arranged. Food was great and the staff were all lovely.

    Dinner service could be improved as we didn't always get our main meals at the same time.

    This hotel is in the middle of the jungle and very close to the main attractions; the Orangutan and the Sun Bear sanctuaries. This is the biggest plus for this hotel as you can easily spend the day at these centers as it is no more than 15 minutes walk. The added bonus was the facilities at the hotel, the food choices in the restaurant and the peace and quiet, the only real noise being that of the jungle.

    Breakfast a little poor and lack of been able to have tea and coffee in the room and having to purchase from the bar. We would of liked to have had a coffee in the morning before coming to the restaurant or one on the balcony when we wanted.

    The location, next to the forest was perfect. Lovely tranquil spot with very pleasant and professional staff.

    A beautiful hotel where one would gladly stay longer.

    The swimming pool was rather small and we didn't end up using it. The staff at the restaurant could be a bit more attentive.

    The Sepilok Forest Edge Resort is definitely one of the best hotels where we stayed during our two-week Borneo trip. Its location right at the entrance to the Orangutan Rehabilitation Center is unbeatable. The hotel grounds themselves are spacious and the bungalows are not clustered together, making it wonderfully quiet. We stayed in one at the very back with a view into the jungle. We have never seen so many different monkeys strolling by as we did there. Simply incredible to be surrounded by nature like that. The rooms themselves are large, very clean and the bed is super comfortable. The partially outdoor bathroom is spacious enough and equipped with everything you need. The entire resort is extremely peaceful and calming. The restaurant serves many Western dishes, including plenty of vegetarian options, which we appreciated as it can be difficult to find a wider selection of vegetarian food in this part of the world. We would have loved to stay longer.

    No wifi in chalets. A good idea would be for them to have own vehicle to ferry guests to the orang utan and sun bear rehab places.

    Excellent buffet breakfast included which really sets a guest up for a day of animal wonder.

    Stunning location. The staff were fantastic and helpful. The rooms were above what we would have expected for a jungle location. Shower was warm and a treat after a long day. Dinner was great. Bed was comfortable and the air conditioning was absolutely amazing ( just make sure you adjust the setting yourself). Highly recommended.

    Dark and smelly room (fishy), shower uncomfortable and a weird bathroom design. Plus the breakfast options weren’t that good. Maybe you could add more western options.

    A wonderful location with a great landscape design surrounding by tropical rainforest (we even saw an orangutan from the yards!). Friendly staff and quite close to the rehabilitation centers.

    The food at the restaurant was delicious! But a bit overpriced.

    we really enjoyed our stay here! Although you are never guaranteed, we saw many different kinds of animals and plants including two orangoutangs! You really are in the edge of the jungle. The beds and cabin was comfortable. The plunge pool (about 2 feet deep and 25 feet diameter) was a very relaxing place to cool off. The staff were very friendly. One of the guys there was looking for wildlife and would point it out to you-he is the one who spotted the two orangoutangs and came to our cabin to let us know they were close because he knew we really wanted to see them! The breakfast buffet was small but always delicious. This resort was a bit more expensive than we usually pay for a place in Southeast Asia, but it was absolutely worth it!
