Wonderful Stay – Amazing Staff! Sepilok B&B is a lovely, peaceful place just minutes away from the Rainforest Discovery Centre, Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, and Sun Bear Conservation Centre. Our lodge was clean, comfortable, and surrounded by nature. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. Highly recommended!

Staff are exceptional - friendly, kind, helpful. There's nothing fancy about the place, but nothing fancy is needed, given the surroundings. I especially enjoyed my balcony with the fan. Breakfast is decent and it's only a 20 min walk to the orangutan rehab centre and 5 mins to the rainforest discovery centre.

The location is great walking distance to the Rainforest Discovery Centre, Sunbear and Orangutan sanctuary. The breakfast was average, no eggs! But staff were lovely. It’s a comfortable and basic place but we enjoyed it very much.

The Neal's on tour.

Johnathan and all of the staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. Sorting and booking trips for us, helping us with local tips etc. The b and b is in the middle of the jungle, so please bear that in mind when you book, but is good value for the money.

This property is in a great location and has great staff, with good working air con but unfortunately that’s where for us the good points end. We were in room S1 and whilst it could be a fab room, it’s worn and dangerous. We had to get a draft excluder on the door to stay mozzys coming in, the sink in the bathroom was coming off the wall when we arrived, the bunk beds creaked badly all night and worst of all, the shower had bare electrical wires on the unit by the shower head. We didn’t sleep well at all. It’s cheap but I would not return.
