"There are improvements being carried out, which will make a difference in the future. We were unable to get the advertised wifi at all, despite the router being reset many times. This was annoying. On four occasions we had random people enter our room without knocking, which was not okay. Once guy even got cross with us and said we should have locked the door. I had to clean the bathroom before use and despite being given a non-smoking room, the smell of cigarettes was present I. The duvet,...

Hotel Sandakan

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, nice room with a comfy bed, and excellent breakfast buffet."

Sepilok B&B

10/10 Excellent

"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! "

The Pavilion Hotel

6/10 Okay

"It was only a brief stopover before a river cruise so didn't expect much and I guess it met expectations. Area around the hotel was a little dirty and there wasn't much to walk to. Hotel room was basic (fine) and the sheets and floor were clean. Bathroom wasn't as clean. Had a TV but it came with a 2 prong plug ??? Which makes no sense when its a 3 prong country! Breakfast very limited for western palate - no fruit or breaded things apart from toast. Overall as expected - not sure it's 3 star though "

Sanbay Hotel

6/10 Okay

"This is an old hotel, it used to be one of the best hotels in Sandakan before. Now I saw the building itself is outstanding there but I also realized that the quality of their service and maintenance are not perfect anymore because of recession by the pandemic. One of the reasons why I decided this hotel for staying, the review mentions a " nice breakfast". But they don't have it now. Regarding amenities like a shampoo and toilet rolls, it requires payment if you get extra. I stayed 2nights 3days, so I was wondering If I should buy some. These are the things uncomfortable part staying this hote. However, this hotel fee is cheap and stuffs are friendly. I have no complaints."
