Great location - from Sepilok B&B, it's about 5 minutes walk to the RDC (400m) and 20 minutes walk to Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center (1.2km). The grounds are lovely ... very green and lots of trees. There's even a lotus pond within the compound. Very nice to wake up and hear plenty of birds chirping in the early morning. We... More

It's exactly where you want to be in Sepilok- next to rainforest discovery and 10-15min walk to Orang Utan Centre. To get from bus stop taxi touts will charge 5MR pp. Stayed in a twin room for 68MR a night. Room had shared bathroom. There was a large communal veranda area. Helpful staff - but really noisy around rooms early... More

This was my 3rd visit to Sepilok B&B, and I have been happy all three times. The location is perfect, nice a peaceful place close to all the Sepilok attractions. I went to the Rainforest Discovery Centre, which is only 400m down the road. Got a nice big clean room with aircon, just what I needed as it was exceptionally... More

We got an air-conditioned room and a shared living area and kitchen. When we visited the place in December, we had the whole area to ourselves. The living room is very comfortable, but no WiFi. The location is excellent. We went to the rainforest discovery center everyday, and went to see other attractions. The rain forest discovery center has many... More

This was a great hostel. We enjoyed everything. The staff was so nice and it is nice and quiet. It was a bit expensive - and the food is not that good. They could make it better with a better chef. Sandakan is a borring city - but it is close to Sandakan and nice if you want peace.

I have stayed here at the Sepilok B&B for 3 days and plan to extend my stay for a few more! The location is excellent: 20 minutes walk to the SORC, Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center, and about 5 minutes or less from the RDC, Rainforest Discovery Center. The staff and owners have been very friendly, kind and helpful in every... More

I've been stayed here for a couple of days and it was INCREDIBLY AWESOME. This Sepilok B&B is a very strategic place because it was in between 2 places, that is Rainforest Discovery Centre (400 metres from here) and Sepilok Orang Utan (20 minutes walk from here) and I like it. Besides, this place is very calming and beautiful. I... More

It says its till 9am but i went down at 9am as slept in and... More

The title pretty much says it all. It was very close to the rain forest, and not far at all from the orangutan rehab center (although 8 miles from the closest ATM, wish I knew they only take cash before I got there). Room were fairly clean, with A/C and warm water (I had to kill a fairly big spider... More

Stayed at the Sepilok B&B for a week and didn't want to leave. It is located close to the Rainforest Discovery Center, and about a 15-20 minute walk to the Orang utan Rehabilitation Center. Melissa and Robert (and Eddy) did a fantastic job of making my stay special. There is a large range of accommodation spread across the lovely grounds.... More
