Tanini Sepilok Formerly Known As Nature Lodge Sepilok

Overall, it was a really nice stay. The female dorm and showers/toilets were clean. Showers were strong and hot. The location was really perfect - only a 15 minute walk from the orangutans, RDC, and sunbears, and the lodge was very peaceful. Breakfast was good and the restaurant had good food at a reasonable price. Filtered water and hot water was available, and restaurant staff were very friendly.

+ Lovely staff. + Was alone inside a 8-person-dormitory room in February. + Proximity to the Park plus Orangutan + sunbear facilities rehab centers/ park ! additional infos: 1. Regarding breakfast booking: If one doesn't like English breakfast (it wasn't bad, but still just English breakfast) anyways, I recommend to not book breakfast and instead choose a dish like Omelet (comes with fries) in the morning. That's just based on my personal preference as someone who doesn't like sausage and canned beans on a breakfast plate. 2. Regarding cash: Bring enough of it. There is no ATM before Sandakan while some attractions (park + Orangutan rehab center) can ONLY be payed via cash! A seafood trip to Sandakan can be nice tho, since especially kids seem not to have seen to many tourists around. 😉

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.
