"Check in is at a hotel 15mins away and strictly followed the 3pm check in time. There is a shop about a 10min walk away but the actual apartment was not overly clean and the showers not getting hot. No coffee mugs or kettle provided. Unfortunately we booked this place because of the swimming pool that was closed for maintenance but not communicated beforehand."

"Overall okay. Only thing is the master bedroom aircon which takes awhile to fix. Owner very responsive and provided welcome drinks when arrived. The area is good and quite close to shops. Good to have a car though."

Just outside the city in a parklike lication. Spotless clean and free from bad odors. The staff is markedly attentive and friendly. Helped me to set up and use a Grab ap to get resonable rates to visit town and other locations. The food is well prepared. Semi pet water monitors vist the pool area. Waterslides, jacuzzi, on premises. Refrigerator and coffee in room. Massage available.

My wife and I had a cozy stay at the Nature Lodge Sepilok. The bed was very comfy and the rooms are quite nice. Ours had a very nice outdoor bathroom. Location wise it is great with easy walking to go see the Orangutans, Sun Bears, and Rain forest discovery center. The staff was very welcoming and quite helpful throughout our stay and got us to the airport on time.

The staff were all nice and kind, very professional. The hotel was ok, lots of movie memorabilia. The restaurant next to the hotel serves good food. Area around the property is not pleasing, it's dirty and smells. The city is great, with lots of stores around. They should keep it cleaner, no littering.
My room was small but overlooking the sea. Nice view from my room.

Excellent reception, friendly staff, very clean and spacious room. Loved the layout of the room. Great to have AC. Took awhile to cool the room off. Street vendors with food nearby. Grocery store across the way. Great pop-up breakfast place down the block.

10/10 Excellent
The hotel is very nice for a jungle resort and the rooms are cleaned daily. We stayed in one of the superior rooms and the A/C worked very well. The food is excellent at the hotel and they have beer and wine too. Service is amazing and we even saw monkeys on the property in the middle of the day. Pool is nice when it’s not raining and it’s an easy walk to the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries. The wifi is also surprisingly very fast, I was getting 60-80mb on average. Definitely would recommend...

Took a Superior King room. Room was smaller than expected, but no complaint since the price was very reasonable. Clean room, good services, all I could ask for a night of comfortable stay.
