Summary: Perfectly adequate clean room, with air conditioning and fan, as well as tea and coffee making facilities. Good simple buffet breakfast. Within easy walking distance of the Orangutan and Sun Bear sanctuaries, the Rainforest Discovery Centre and other hotels and restaurants. Had no problem picking up a cab on Grab whenever we needed to go further afield or just wanted to avoid the heat!

Summary: The team at the Losge were so helpful. We were a day late due to a missed connection and we wanted to head into the jungle and they arranged everything for us and even took a day off of our booking to facilitate a stay with their sister lodge at the Kinabantagan River.
As you can see the breakfast was fabulous.

Summary: located at walking distance of the sepilok conservation center for orangutans and sun bears. basic rooms, but clean and spacious. breakfast is very limited but tasty. The Mango Restaurant offers delicious local and european dishes. There are no other facilities, also no other bars or shops in the neighborhood. This is a location is ideal if you want to visit the conservation centers. Staff is very friendly as well. Free water is also available at the reception and at the restaurant.

Summary: The hotel is in a great location to visit the Orang Utans and Sun Bears. Its a relaxed hotel and the staff are really friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable. The shower was great!
Negatives - wifi is hit and miss so card payments not always possible. No ATM nearby but we changed cash at a nearby hotel. Food is sometimes buffet and sometimes a la carte but the staff dont know which it will be in advance so your stuck with what you get offered. It was tasty though. We stayed 4 nights and the room wasnt cleaned while we were there. Not a problem as we didn't make a mess but just a heads up!
Taxis finish early and start late so if you need a lift to the airport, make sure you book in advance - airport transport from the hotel is expensive, use Grab if you can!
All in all, we had a pleasant stay and would use the hotel again

Summary: I found all the staff very helpful. The location is good for Orangutan, Sun Bears and the Rain Forest.
The only elemwnt that was poor was I needed to amend my booking via Expedia and I still ended up being charged for one additional night, the cost was minimal, but that's not the point.

Summary: This is a lovely property overall and is very good value for money. It is ideal for visiting the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries as well as a great place to stay for the rainforest development centre.
Rooms are basic but functional and do have air conditioning. Grounds are very well maintained and staff work hard to keep things nice. A sun lounger chair on the patio of each property would have been ideal for relaxing and enjoying the peace and tranquility of the gardens.
Reception staff were welcoming upon arrival though only one member of the team appeared knowledgeable about the area; others were very reserved which came across as a little unhelpful at times.
Water went down for 24 hours, though communication on this was very poor. Internet also went down for 48 hours and whilst we understand these things happen, again - no communication. Reception staff could have been more proactive here.
Housekeeping services, were none existant. Whilst i can make my own bed, clean up after myself etc. I was surprised that there were no visits in a whole week, with some guests having to return dirty linen or collect their own toilet rolls from reception. Having dropped a pen, i looked under the bed only to find at least three inches of dust. Sad reflection on cleanliness.
Restaurant. These young men work extremely hard and very long shifts. They are respectful, friendly and very helpful.
Unfortunately the menu is very basic and food hygiene standards could be much better.
