Super cute and tranquil place; staff are so warm and welcoming, views are unmatched, and food is amazing. They run a free shuttle bus to everything around the area 3 times a day and also easy to walk. Nice spot to go on runs - I ran to the market in the morning that has some amazing vintage shopping there. Would highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Paganakan Dii. The room was basic but comfy and the air conditioner and fan were enough to keep it cool at night. The restaurant was basic but fine and the staff were helpful and able to help book tours and transport. The place was quiet, peaceful and had great jungle views. Would recommend!

This place is such a dump for the price. We stayed in a standard room which was a dump. Only one plug for the entire room. water heater didn't work. There was not even any way to make a cup of tea by boiling water in the room. Aircon couldn't keep the room cool during the afternoon. The breakfast really sucked. all in all, this is way overpriced for what you get. But, I guess that's the sad story of Sabah in general. People keep booking crap. So, resorts keep providing crap for their guests.

Paganakan Dii Tropical Retreat has a stunning setting, you’re right in the rainforest, surrounded by beautiful grounds and nature. The location is great, and the free shuttle to the Orangutan and Sun Bear Centres is a big plus. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. However, we did struggle with the accommodation. Our room was hot and stuffy, the air conditioning didn’t work, and the shower leaked. The mosquito net was too small for the bed and had several holes, which made it difficult to sleep comfortably, especially since we really needed it in that environment. Unfortunately, we also had rats running in and out of the room during the night, which made for a very unsettling experience. We asked for help from security, but no one came to check. In the end, we only stayed one night instead of three, though we appreciated that the team kindly refunded the booking. With some updates to the rooms and better pest control, this could be a wonderful place to stay, but in its current state, it just wasn’t suitable for us.

Lovely staff and location but lots of bugs in our room. Tiny ants could get the mosquito net and into our bed which we had to remove each night. Not the nicest. Maybe it was just our room.

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?!

Cute eco lodge near attractions in Sepilok. Beautiful views in the morning and staff offers competitive rates on tours and transport. I appreciated the free shuttle to the Orangutan Rehabilitation Center. The property is not as pristine as the photos and I feel was overpriced for what it was.

This review is for the private room. Our room was nice with 1 Queen bed and a bunk bed. All beds had netting in good condition and the view was excellent. Our private bathroom was almost outdoors so that made for an immersive experience. Food was ok; the amount of protein was in some dishes very small and the menu never changed but it was cheap. Breakfast was included and was eggs, 2 white toasts and small amount of fruit. Plus tea or coffee. The big buts we’re maintenance;e.g. door latches didn’t work, loose safeguard netting for the balcony and cleanliness. Under the beds they didn’t clean and the reception/restaurant area was not very clean. Leftover food was left for hours and floors weren’t swept. The bathroom there was filthy. The big plus we’re the leading ladies who multitasked booking tours, checking in/out, taking restaurant orders etc. They eeee always serviceable and with a smile. Lots of families and younger travellers.

Staying in the bunk longhouse could be classed as roughing it a little, but the lodge as a whole is inexpensive the staff are very helpful and it is a fantastic adventure - a base from which to explore Borneo's wildlife. Our teenage kids loved it, once they had adjusted!

A family run retreat who make you feel like part of the family. Basic and rustic, it fits perfectly into the surroundings. Close to the attractions in Sepilok so location is convenient. While breakfast is provided and other meals can be purchased, the menu didnot change (we were there 5 nights) so some variety would be nice. Outdoor bathroom attached to the room makes you feel like you are showeri g in the jungle. Don't leave anything in the bathroom though. My husband's toothbrush mysteriously went missing!!

Basic wooden hut stay in the jungle so has to be judged as such. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was great and very reasonable. Rather remote so you have to get the shuttle provided or sort out your own arrangements. We couldn't get Grab from the hotel but could get it at the attractions in town. Room itself was basic, no towels provided, no cleaning service. Shower was hot. Served its purpose and would recommend for a few days to see the sights of Sepilok.

This is a retreat built in the jungle and has to be judged accordingly. We stayed in a wooden chalet which was clean and spacious with a private outdoor bathroom. We slept under mosquito nets and were careful not to leave outside lights on unnecessarily so as not to attract the insects. You will need insect repellent in the open dining/sitting areas particularly in the evening. Tha staff were particularly friendly and helpful. This is a great place to stay to visit Sepilok and surrounding areas with the staff helping if you wanted transport or trips arranged.
