Delightful. We had booked a standard chalet but were upgraded to a deluxe and very nice it was too, situated up on the hill with a wow-factor view of the trees from the balcony. All very comfortable. Decent air con, too. We enjoyed the plunge pool very much, and relaxing with a drink while watching the birds from the beautiful (covered, but outdoor) restaurant deck was wonderful - even when the heavens opened as they do in Borneo (each room is supplied with an umbrella which is a lovely touch). Dinner and lunch were much better than breakfast - the latter was very mixed in quality, but our meals the previous day were very enjoyable. The staff are absolutely terrific - friendly and very helpful, going way out of their way for us. Useful information: I’d read various reviews mentioning that although it’s easy to get a Grab to the area, it’s a different matter when it comes to getting one from. Our departure was time-sensitive as we were catching a flight so I took the precaution of booking a taxi via the hotel. Although obviously more expensive than a Grab, it was very fairly priced and was utterly reliable - the taxi was ready and waiting for us when we turned up, even though we were actually a little early. Unfortunately the hotel jungle trail was closed for repairs while we were there, but the rest of the grounds that we could wander through were gorgeous, and it really is walking distance to the orangutan and sun bear centres.

Great location, as the name says, it's on the edge of the forest. There is a forest trail out the back, I did walk it one morning, wear proper footwear as it was a steep at points, takes about 30 minutes to walk the loop through the forest. We saw a wild Orangutan in the grounds one morning, which was amazing, definitely the highlight of our stay. Beds are comfortable, the AC is good, its clean, good food, (vegetarian options were a little limited so I kept eating the same dishes but the food was delicious, I highly recomend the tofu dish and the eggplant dish). Breakfast buffet was comprehensive with lots of options. Good location for nearby attractions, you can easily walk to the orangutan sanctuary (about 500m), and if you're feeling up to it, the rainforest discovery centre is 1.4 miles away, so we walked it in about a half hour. Didn't spend much time in the grounds but they are well maintained and a nice setting. The balcony to our room had good views across the grounds (hence my partner spotted the orangutan in the grounds). Staff were attentive and helpful, including helping us book transport options. The whole place felt very safe and secure.

The location was amazing, the grounds were stunning and on several of our walks around we encountered orangutans, gibbons and red leaf monkeys, some of which were right outside our hut! The grounds also had a lake and little plunge pool which was nice for a cool off in the humid afternoon, there are also some walks you can take further into the rainforest which we enjoyed. From this resort it was only a short walk to visit the orangutan and sunbear sanctuaries, and a short taxi drive to the rainforest discovery centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they helped us to book our trips and organise transport etc. The restaurant was also very nice, it is situated overlooking the beautiful grounds and the food was tasty with a lot of variety on the menu, cocktails, beers etc. The breakfast was a buffet and had a fair bit of variety, we enjoyed the food and atmosphere overall. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay in sepilok, a great stay!

we really enjoyed our stay here! Although you are never guaranteed, we saw many different kinds of animals and plants including two orangoutangs! You really are in the edge of the jungle. The beds and cabin was comfortable. The plunge pool (about 2 feet deep and 25 feet diameter) was a very relaxing place to cool off. The staff were very friendly. One of the guys there was looking for wildlife and would point it out to you-he is the one who spotted the two orangoutangs and came to our cabin to let us know they were close because he knew we really wanted to see them! The breakfast buffet was small but always delicious. This resort was a bit more expensive than we usually pay for a place in Southeast Asia, but it was absolutely worth it!

Our first couple of days in Borneo and an ideal start. Glamping was fun as sleeping surrounded by jungle and the tent facilities were excellent. Don’t expect anything more than mood lighting. The bathroom is a small building separate to the tent but bang next door. Delightful and responsive staff including dealing with what turned out to be an old squirrel’s nest behind the air conditioning unit! Plunge pool was a highlight for us all but especially the two children. Great food. To my surprise there was - limited - alcohol available and we enjoyed a bottle of Italian red wine albeit at UK restaurant prices. Easy reach of the Sepilok Sanctuary. What’s good enough for Dame Judi Dench was good enough for us!
