Able to visit the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries at leisure as able to walk to them from accommodation. Those on a trip appeared to be rushed whereas we were able to enjoy time at both. Some nice places to eat within the various lodges, you don't have to be resident.

The glamping unit was amazing - spacious, quiet, nicely decorated. Great for a family. Awesome, helpful staff. Good food and bar. But unit had cooking facilities (no pork allowed on the grill.)
A ways from town but very close to other attractions like the Orangutan and Honey Bear sanctuaries.
WiFi was only available in the restaurant, but with our cell phones, we managed just fine.

Loved the orangutans got ripped off seeing the probiscus monkeys! Beware unless with organised tour make sure you get a solid agreement with a driver to take you there and bring you back. No extras! The feeding platform is 1.5km from the entrance! The 2nd platform another 1.1km away so 2.6km back to the entrance. There are no grab cars around!
We ended up flagging a car diwn on the road to ask for a lift to town! Was ridiculous! Walking in that heat too! Best to go on organised tour!
Book a grab early if leaving for airport too as not many arpubd it seemed at 10am!! Or not many wanting to go airport! Hotel tried to charge 75mr when grab is only 17mr! One big ripoff if you ask me!

Great place for viewing the Orangutans.
Great place for viewing the Orangutans. I stayed at 2 resorts over 3 nights. A buffet breakfast was included at both resorts and cafe/restaurant were open for lunch and dinner. I did a night walk and pre-ordered my dinner for when I arrived back. The resorts were next to each other and a 10 minute walk to the Orangutan conservation hut.
I was travelling with my 84 year old father, so we took an easy pace. I went to both the morning and afternoon sessions at the Orangutan conservation centre. I recommend arriving plenty of time before the feeding times (at least 30 mins) as the orangutans start arriving well before the food arrives. It's a great opportunity to get photos whilst they are in the trees and watch them swinging around gracefully. Only one young male came for the morning session, plus loads of long tailed macaques. 3-4 came in the afternoon, including a mum and baby. I saw larger male at the

It was my second time visiting Sepilok and both times I visited Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, was an incredible experience to be so close to the Orangutans.
This time we also went to the Sunbears which was lovely to see this rare sighting of the bears and to see the good work the centre is doing.
We visited Rainforest Discovery Centre, for one of their night walks this was great, and i wish we had another day so we could have explored this park during the day...maybe next time.

Amazing!
Amazing! Lots to do… orangutans, sun bears, rainforest discovery centre, firefly cruise. The cruise was particularly amazing. Pangkalan Fireflies Tour. +601151800387. Email : Idayaninahar@yahoo.com. We went out on the river after a warm welcome with Sabah tea and donuts. We cruised up the river and saw crocodiles, monkeys and birds. We then waited for sunset before returning down the river to see thousands of fireflies. Our guides were knowledgeable. The food back at the house afterwards was perfect. Lots of choice. Catered for gluten free and vegetarian. Picky kids ate loads. Amazing experience.
Everything was absolutely amazing. In our group we stayed in the dorm, and in a private double room. All very comfortable, with good aircon in the double room. The view from the balconies was stunning. The family that run it were very nice, and the food for dinner and breakfast was excellent. They provide free shuttles at specific times to get to the orangutan sanctuary, and if you want to go outside of these times, they will do it for a small fee. they also helped arrange transport to the airport for us afterwards.
Great location, good breakfast, staff were super friendly and eager to please. Bonus having a pool in the hot weather. Drinking water provided in the room. Fun karaoke was had one evening and staff and guests were both involved. Extensive evening menu, all reasonably priced. For a small fee, you can also get driven to the local tourist places such as Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, etc. Very close to the Rainforest Discovery Centre, only a 10 min walk.
Such a wonderful place located in nature right next to the amazing Rainforest Discovery Center in Sepilok. We were here for 5 days but would have loved to stay even longer. All staff is super nice and helpful! We loved talking to all of them. The food at their restaurant is very delicious too! Highly recommend staying here, don’t hesitate to book :)
Room was great with comfy bed + mosquito net. Inside/outside bathroom. Clean bed sheets/towel and basic toiletries provided.
Community areas have gorgeous views over the rainforest - we saw three squirrel species and a snake whilst eating breakfast!
Great free shuttle service to RDC/orangutan sanctuary. Also organized travel for us when needed.
I am satisfied as a birder as in the yard of this hotel I saw black and red broadbill, blue throated bee eater, baya weaver and even a Malayan night heron, a rare bird which I think might still stay in the yard. The location is also good, maybe the nearest hotel to the Rainforest Discovery Center.
Everything about my stay at the Forest Edge Resort made it feel really special. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly, my cabin was comfortable - I especially loved the outdoor shower! -, the restaurant was great, and the surroundings were so tranquil, a great place for wildlife watching!
the hotel covers a very large area that is like a real jungle - this is an unquestionable advantage of this facility
very good massage in the pool area
by buying a ticket to Sepilok - you can enter the park all day and watch orangutans feeding twice a day - it takes 5 minutes to get there
I really enjoyed my stay at Sepilok Forest Edge Resort.
Check-in was quick and easy. They have baggage delivery service, which was great.
The food was delicious 😋. And the staff were all very friendly and helpful.
My room was very clean. And the bed is very comfortable.
Very comfortable and clean. The room was ready when we arrived so they let us check in early. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the Orangutan Sanctuary. Don’t forget to see the flying squirrels at the Rainforest Discovery Center during the night walk.
Large grounds on the edge of the rainforest, great views of wildlife from hotel itself including hornbills from room balcony. Good breakfast with fresh eggs to order. Cheaper than other hotels in the area which we also stayed at.
fantastic restaurant - every item on menu tasty. great kind staff. rooms were clean, really is close to the sepilok reserves (just a walk away), and felt like it really was on the edge of a rainforest.
Very cosy place, kind staff, good food, comfortable beds, AC and fan, free water refill, feel like being in the jungle. Close to orangutan rehabilitation centre. I reccomend!
superior room-nice to have ac but I wouldn’t call it superior. I guess for the price you’re paying it’s more for the resort and not the room. I loved the pool
