Four Seasons, Sandakan hotels

"Great place to chill before safari to Sukau. There is also a lot to do in Sepilok. Orangutan rehab and Sun bear sanctuary. "

"A one night stop. A nice cheap option with ok facilities and friendly staff. "

"Very nice place to stay in Sandakan. Clean room, staff very friendly and helpful."

"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."

"Great rural hotel. Wonderful hosts and within easy walk of the sun bear and orangutan centres. Would highly recommend if you love quiet and nature "

"Great location, friendly helpful staff and good value."

"It's a piece of luxury in an interesting place - don't let the exterior building fool you. You can be walking into another world in Sandakan and Hotel Sandakan is a sanctuary amongst it. The staff emulate the local Sabahan hospitality and friendliness, I will stay again next time."

"We have never been to an area like this before and came because of the wildlife and culture. Sepilok Forest Edge Resort provided both. We were so impressed with the friendliness of the staff, the way Sepilok invites you into their culture and the way the lodge was built with the environment in mind. "

"I loved this unique hotel, it was a tick off the bucket to stay in the rainforest! The staff are so friendly and the food is excellent and great value for money. It is very easy to get to the animal centres and I was still able to access the internet so could order grab taxis. I’d definitely recommend bringing bug spray! 100% would recommend, where else can you stay in the rainforest?!"
