We stayed in a standard chalet which was lovely - very clean and comfortable - I can't compare it to the other accomodation on offer but would recommend the chalet. It's walking distance from the Orang utan sanctuary - a bit of a slog in the heat though! There are closer resorts but Forest Edge is a peaceful spot so... More

We stayed there for 4 days while exploring the area and going to the Orang Utan sanctuary. The resort is brillian,clean and quiet with attentive and well manured staff. Food is limited to one menu but I never ate the same food twice and was never disapointed with the quality. (ps I am a chef) Great place look no further.

I loved this little place. I was hesitant at first as it was given only 1 star but my experience is this place is as good as the top lodges found along the Kintabatangan river but with better food. The accommodation is basic but is spacious enough, comfortable and clean with good enough toilet and shower facilities - all very... More

Booked this resort as it was close to Sepilok and it's a nice place. It's only 10 minutes walk to the sanctuary so easy to get to. We had a double room for MYR80 and it was clean with sheets, towels etc. There is a swimming pool which was good fun and a decent restaurant too. Staff very friendly and... More

We stayed in one in of the Chalets - a quiet, lovely room in beautiful gardens just walking distance to the Orangutan centre. The place is badly in need of a little building maintenance, and maybe a few more supplies in the kitchen to match the menu. But the staff were pleasant and tried. A great place to let off... More

Plusses - Convenient location, easy walk to the Orangutan centre - comfortable chalets, no gaps in wall so creepy crawlies stayed out. Nice balcony overlooking the garden - Insect spray, torch, water provided in room - Lush garden setting - Friendly staff. Greeted with cold towels and glass of lemongrass juice - Reasonable food - premises lit up beautifully with... More

The place was perfect for us, on a quiet road about 10 minutes walk from the Orangutan Rehab Center. A taxi from Sandakan airport at the taxi stand was a set price of 35MR. We booked a standard double room and got a nice, clean cabin on the hill overlooking the gardens with privacy, a balcony to sit and enjoy... More

Nice setting and location is next to orangutan centre. When we arrived we were too early to get in our rooms so we chilled and ordered some lunch. They didn't have half the stuff on the menu and then they got some of it wrong. The quality was not very good. We didn't eat there in the evening we went... More

This was a lovely place, exceeded expectations. Cottages set in the gardens surrounded by jungle trees. Quite a walk to Sepilok in the heat but Annie very helpful and took us down the road.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for three nights while we were in the area to visit the orang utan centre and to experience some authentic borneo rainforest and animals. For this purpose the hotel was perfect. It is located literally on the edge of the forest with a large and spacious park-like area with nice walkways and a pond... More
