Clean accommodation, but not luxury

Hotel in an excellent location in Sepilok for RDC, Orangutan and Sun Bear centres, with good access to Grabs. A little bit worn around the edges and be careful on the walkways and near the pool - you'll need shoes! Accommodation cool and clean but bathroom arrangement odd! Only one towel each (not luxury) and one toilet roll! NO TV and wifi not available in the rooms only in the central area. Pool not very clean. Also pre book tours as the hotel charge ridiculous rates (quoted 130 MYR pp for RDC nightwalk, which costs 50 MYR if bought direct).

Fantastisk sted

Bolig:Super, skøn, autentisk træhytte, hvor man får følelsen af at bo midt i regnskoven. Restaurant: særdeles hyggelig med en fantastisk atmosfære. Mad og drikker er velsmagende og til en fin pris . Personalet: top service, smilende, imødekommende, hjælpsomme mm Restaurant er åben for hygge og sociale tiltag om aftenen. Personalet synger fantastiske, så grib en mikrofon og syng med dem 👍
