My stay at Tanini Sepilok was a mixed experience. while the location near the Rainforest Discovery Centre was fantastic, there were definitely some downsides. The room, although clean and air-conditioned, had drainage issues that made the shower area quite unpleasant. The meals were tasty, but the overall dining options were limited.

My stay at Tanini Sepilok was quite enjoyable. The lodge's peaceful atmosphere and proximity to the orangutan and sun bear sanctuaries were highlights. However, the food options were decent yet not particularly impressive and the dorms could use more privacy. Overall, it was a comfortable and clean place for a short retreat.
