Sepilok Jungle Resort

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. Wifi in the restaurant was a great surprise! Staff friendly and helpful: our tour got confused and didnt pick us up and the staff helped us organise our own trip to get to the river. ... more

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.
