Sepilok Jungle Resort

The best location to get easy access to see the orangutans! Spacious and scenic setting. Amazing pool which is perfect for a dip to cool down in the burning sun.

Sandakan Backpackers

Lot 108, Block SH-11 Sandakan Harbour Square (Map) - Hostel

Was more comfortable than I'd expected for a small-town backpackers lodge. Cleans sheets and pillow, fresh paint on some walls, good air-con, plenty of clean toilets and heated showers.
