Tanini Sepilok Formerly Known As Nature Lodge Sepilok

Lovely room, breakfast was ok but one morning was a set menu then next it was buffet, buffet definitely not as good as the set menu day. Staff all very friendly. Great location to see orangutans and sun bears and could also get a grab to see proboscis monkeys in Labuk bay from here too.

The lodge had an air-conditioned dorm. The dorm room is very spacious. Breakfast was included and had a very good selection. The lodge is walking distance to the sun bear and Orang utan rehabilitation centres and the rainforest discovery centre (approx. 15 minutes walking). They had free drinking water.

I loved my stay at Tanini and my friend and I would have liked to stay much longer than 2 nights if we hadn’t have already booked further travel. The dorm was clean and comfortable, beautiful grounds filled with sweet kittens and cute puppies. Reception is a nice area to chill in and free drinking water is provided. The staff were all so lovely and welcoming and we felt at home. Good breakfast buffet too and the food at the restaurant was really good. It’s easy to get a taxi to the orangutan, sun bear and rainforest centre but we chose to walk and it was a pleasant walk. 15-20 mins to first two and maybe 10 mins to rainforest discovery centre. I really recommend here

The food from the restaurant was very tasty and the prices was not expensive due the quality of the food. The welcome coffee dry bags in the room were very good and we have appreciated it a lot.

Great stay!! We booked as it was one of the cheapest dorm options for our stay but we felt very spoilt and felt like a treat. Stayed with my husband in 8 person dorm (we were the only ones staying in our dorm for the duration of our stay) They spread the guests in dormatory out acorss the 5 rooms giving everyone space. The beds comfy, the room had 8 plugs in it (not sure why other reviews said otherwise). The beds comfy, usually we like curtains in hostel beds but not essential. The grounds for the hotel are stunning, feels like your in the rainforest. The toilets super clean, indoor/outdoor vibe with lots of plants. Free tea and coffee from reception. The staff all amazing and friendly and hard working. Booked our jungle nighttime walk which was super and our bus back to kota kinabalu again super helpful as couldn't work out how to get tickets online - they arranged it all and we paid on the bus so they didn't make any money from us for this. The food was great! Ate there for lunch and dinner and breakfast. Buffet breakfast one day (they make fresh eggs/omlet for you if its buffet), the rest is self serve beans/ toast/ noodles potatos. Lunch and dinner was great good. We ate at the bnb closeby as we were hungry and resturant wasn't open (also good food) but the service/atmosphere better at our hotel. Tip - walk to the orangatangs to see morning feed after breakfast, then go to see sunbears (next-door) around 11am (they get feed then too) then come back for a rest / play boardgames at hotel.
