The room was clean, cozy, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable haven after a long day of jungle adventures. We especially appreciated how quiet and peaceful the setting was, allowing us to relax and recharge. The grounds are lovely, and you feel fully immersed in nature.
The staff at Sepilok B&B truly made our stay memorable. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with recommendations for things to do and places to see in the area. They made us feel very welcome and at home from the moment we arrived.
The breakfast was also excellent, with a good mix of local dishes and Western options to suit all tastes. We looked forward to starting each day with a delicious meal before heading out to explore.
Overall, Sepilok B&B exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're visiting Sepilok and want to be close to nature with a comfortable and welcoming place to stay, we highly recommend this B&B. We would love to stay here again in the future!



Don't forget to have a time to visit the place while you are in Sandakan Sabah.



Breakfast is ok, you get some toast, can order eggs, there is butter, coffee, tea and lime juice which I liked. I suggest to offer also milk because not everybody likes creamer in his coffee, real milk would be great.
The room we stayed in was huge, cleanliness average, some stains on the sheets and spider webs, but that was not our problem. The mattress is hard as stone, impossible to sleep, I even took a mattress from the bunk bed to put it additionally on the other bed but did not help. AC works but not really well, there is also a fan on the ceiling but it was soooo hot in the room.
There is nothing to do , really nothing, except visiting the Orang Utans or Rainforest Center, so a working wifi would be great, but it does not work.
You can order lunch at dinner there at given times, food was ok, but portion size really small.
For one night ok, I would not stay longer.
But again staff is super friendly and lovely.
Our room (with double bed in one of the lodges near reception) was spacious and well air-conditioned, with a large ensuite. It was very clean and comfortable. If you are a birder you will have birding opportunities in the B&B gardens which is an added bonus. The reception/dining are has free wi-fi. Happy to recommend this place as great value for money and an enjoyable stay.



We had a twin room with a fan and attached bathroom, located in First Lodge of Sepilok B&B (RM68 for one night). It was one of the older buildings and in need of a spruce-up. The bed was comfy enough. They do have other types of accommodation but these were not available at the time. Breakfast was a simple fare - toast, jam, kaya, coffee, tea, fruits (bananas & papaya) and fried noodles. As the B&B was conveniently close to RDC, we had lunch at the B&B after our morning visit and returned to RDC in the afternoon. The food was average and cooked to order.
The staff helped call a taxi for us to get to the airport - it turned out to be a private vehicle and cost us RM40. We were probably overcharged but we did not want to be late.



We chose to stay in one of the deluxe rooms at 95MYR, a 'semi-detached' room with aircon and it's own private verandah. It was a surprisingly large room with bunk beds as well as a double bed which was very comfortable. Good storage space with a large wardrobe. There was a TV although we didn't actually use it so can't comment on channel availability. The room and the bathroom were very clean, towels were not provided but we carry travel towels so this wasn't a problem. Also in the room was a small two seater cane sofa which we actually carried out onto the verandah each day. On the verandah were two wooden chairs with a table between.
Location of Sepilok B&B is good, just 400m or so down the road (easily walkable in around 10 mins) from the Rainforest Discovery Centre. The Orang Utan sanctuary is around 1km up the road, taking around 20 mins to walk or the B&B would provide a taxi if required.
The restaurant was good if a little basic but all that you need for a couple of nights stay. Breakfast is included, this is do-it-yourself toast/jam with coffee/tea and fruit, you could literally eat as much as you wanted. Food prices were reasonable but the cans of soft drink were a little more expensive than elsewhere in Malaysia.
The staff were all very friendly, from the initial contact via email through the reserversation of our room, pick up from airport and service whilst we were there.
The B&B can arrange transport and trips but this is only offered when you ask the question, the additional services are not thrust on you nor any pressure applied.
There is free wi-fi in the restaurant area, this does reach some of the rooms, there is also a PC available for guest use at no charge.
The B&Bs website doesn't do it justice, it's good accomodation, a little on the basic side but good value for money and definitely worth a consideration if you're visiting Sepilok.
