Sepilok Forest Edge Resort Reviews

We stayed at this resort for 3 nights in December 24. We had a fantastic stay! The staff were brilliant and go out of their way for you. Restaurant food and drinks menu was fantastic and the whole resort was well cared for. As it was my birthday during our stay they decorated our room as a surprise which was a lovely touch! We would definitely come back!

We stayed here in 2019 and enjoyed our stay back then, so decided to book again. Unfortunately after this stay we will not be coming back. First off, our room had the most cumbersome door lock, which required you to slide a wooden bar through the handle and padlock it. A pain when your hands are full. Second the front desk person told us to call if we needed anything, but there was no phone in our room nor a phone list with numbers or contact info. Third nowhere to put luggage but on the floor, even though there is a huge dead space along a wall where a luggage stand could’ve easily been placed. The area where to hang clothes, the bench area was too narrow to fit a suitcase. Fourth , no lamp at the bedside, so you have to get out of bed to turn off the lights after reading. Plus the main light is on while others are trying to sleep. Lastly we asked 2 different front desk people to call the RDC to reserve a spot for us for the night walk. Both parties said they would. We when we got to the RDC our names were not on the list. Luckily they let us join as my daughter was really looking forward to it and it was our only night to go. I won’t stay here again. We checked into the Sepilok Nature Lodge after, and for a little bit more we had the most fabulous room, with an upstairs and 3 beds, double sinks, large fridge, bench at the end of each bed for suitcases etc.

The right place if u are looking for holiday with privacy and enjoy the nature. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Great hotel. In real life it's cozier than in the photo. Small but very nice breakfast, good restaurant and territory.

Beautiful well-kept territory, delicious breakfast to choose from: traditional or European. There is an open-air shower. We walked to the Rainforest and Orangutans and Bears.

There are 4 beds in the common room. The territory is very beautiful. The breakfast is good. I had dinner in the restaurant, very tasty.

The hotel has a great environment and a swimming pool. You can book a shuttle bus to the Discovery Center at the front desk. The toilet is very primitive but clean. I unexpectedly found an outdoor shower room when I checked out. The only drawback is that my shoes were left outside at night and were left by some wild animals...

The independent cabins are pretty good for the price, but there are basically no Chinese people there, and the food is average for Chinese people. The jungle resort a little ahead has Chinese food and more activities.

Good location in nature. In the pictures there was a picture of a larger rectangular pool that didn't exist. The restored one is overpriced with sub-par food. You can see monkeys and squirrels.

The hotel is excellent next to the nursery of orangutans, rainbow bears and rainforest, the territory of the hotel is very beautiful, the pool is small, lived in a house which on the one hand is very authentic and on the other hand modern. When leaving the hotel we could not call a grab taxi, had to use the services of the reception. I do not recommend taking a tour for 3 days 2 nights to Sukau, to see only proboscis monkeys and crocodiles and various birds, one night is the best. It is better to devote more days to Sepilok, there you can see all the birds and animals

Very beautiful and quiet resort. Original ecology. There were bats living under the eaves in front of the cabin where we lived. Staff are friendly and helpful. Not far from the Ape Sanctuary, Sun Bears and RDC. The restaurant is good. If it rains, you will pass through waterlogged paths when walking to the main road.

We visited and stayed 2 nights as part of of a trailfinders trip. It says it's 2 star and it is. The rooms are in need of a renovation, the wall linings were peeling off the wall. The bathroom is functional, the outdoor shower has a sieve providing a shower effect. Situated well next to the orangutan and sunbear sanctuary. Breakfast was a limited buffet style and drinks reasonably priced.

We only stayed for one night and got in mid afternoon after a very long days travel so the plunge pool and shoes off bar area were just what we needed along with a cold beer. The room was nicer than we expected, extremely clean and comfy but basic but you are in the jungle and it does claim to be anything other than this. The food at night was some of the best we had while touring Borneo, we were trying to find the fish with lime and chilli in many other places!

We stayed for 3 nights and loved this place. The lodges are rustic but very comfortable with air conditioning, the staff are friendly, the food is tasty, and the location is perfect for visiting the Orangutan & Sunbear sanctuarys, and the Rain Forest Discovery Centre. We went on day trip to the Kinabatangan river (organised by the lodge) and saw orangutans, monkeys and elephants. The absolute highlight though was seeing a huge male orangutan enjoying the fruits on the trees above the lodges and then swinging down across the lodge roof back into the forest. An amazing experience we wouldn’t have had if we hadn’t stayed here!
