The chalet was very comfortable and you felt as if you were living in the rain forest, beautiful grounds. The hotel could do with a bit of updating and would be lovely to have a pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights there though, food good, cocktails average. Ideal location for orangutans and sun bears.
Made up so 23 lodge houses in the Borneo rainforest. We were in number 22 one of the furthest away from the main building. I loved being here as you felt part of nature. Just be careful with the wooden board walk as some areas are even due to the rainforest’s tree roots intertwining the boards. We were luck to have visits from orangutans twice while we were there. The first experience had the orangutang crossing the bridge near our lodge approximately 20 metres away. That made my holiday!
The chalet type accommodation, with verandas, is very spacious and comfortable. Particularly liked the walk-in bath. The seating area around the bar is also very comfortable and the food is excellent. The highlight was an orangutan and baby coming around the chalets one morning.
We loved our stay here. The chalets are spacious and comfortable and the surroundings absolutely beautiful. Lovely to lie in bed listening to the sounds of nature. The food was good and varied. The orangutans and sunbears are less than 5 minutes walk away. Just wish we had booked longer to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Every person that worked there were welcoming from the day we arrived to the day we left... We stayed 6 days for RnR and absolutely loved this place. Meals and drinks are on the pricier side than other restaurants and street food, but you get what you pay for. The cocktails were skillfully mixed and tasted superb. The meals were delicious... My husband thinks the Beef Rendang is the best he has ever tasted. The rooms were cleaned daily and whenever we reported something broken it was fixed the same day upon our return from the days activities. Would highly recommend this place.
SNR was such an oasis after our two nights in the jungle. We absolutely loved our chalet which was very clean & spacious & overlooked the lake. The restaurant was gorgeous but some of the waiting staff were quite unprofessional - maybe they were only new? The whole resort was well maintained & the staff very friendly
Lovely little resort right next to the Orangutan and Sun Bear Sanctuaries. We also walked to The Rainforest Discovery Centre, but it was a bit of a hike! The staff here were friendly and helpful. Our room was basic but had everything we needed. Had lunch at one of the nearby hotels and it wasn't nearly as nice as Sepilok Nature Resort!! Would highly recommend a stay here.
Loved the chalets, the resort was a fab location and complete heaven of tranquility. Food ok , most staff ok although you are made to feel uncomfortable or even unwelcome if you try and use the restaurant/ bar after 9pm. Staff hovering over you to hurry you up and the shutters are down most nights before 10.!that was only only spoiler in an otherwise fabulous 4 night stay
Such a unique little resort, with the feeling of being in the jungle. We stayed here for one night and truly lived the atmosphere. The day tour to Labauk Bay, organized by the front reception, was amazing. I’d highly recommend this place for a stay.
What a fantastic resort hotel! The setting is unbelievably beautiful. Gorgeous chalet accommodation. Great location. Very friendly & helpful staff. Good food. Thanks for the fantastic two nights we spent with you!
Very beautiful place. I absolutely loved it. The rooms are big and clean and the restaurant is very good and also a very nice cozy place to relax in the evening. Staff is very helpful and friendly. I strongly recommend it. And it’s just a 5 minutes walk to the Oran outang rehabilitation center.
Stayed to be near orangutan sanctuary, nothing much else in the area. The staff in reception, restaurant and tour counter were bored and disinterested. No WiFi in rooms, only in reception area and very slow at that. Food was very expensive and not so good but captured market I guess as no other option nearby.
Room was very large and very vlean. Staff professional and friendly...speak and understand English. Food was excellent and the wine good! Only downside is wifi doesn't work anywhere but reception area. I highly recommend this resort...you will be very pleased.
