Top Bokara Hotel Reviews

Sepilok Jungle Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This resort was really great and exceeded our expectations. The layout of the whole place was very beautiful and relaxing. We were extremely happy that we were able to see orange utan right in front of our rooms in the resort on the rambutan tree. Overall it was a great place & staff and food really good"

Paganakan Dii Tropical Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Remote location with beautiful scenery. Accommodation was rustic but quaint and comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful arranging outings for the family and helping resolve issues that arose."

Sabah Hotel Sandakan

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great - we had a junior suite with balcony which overlooked the forrest and the pool. No cushions on sunbeds on balcony but we managed. Great food and lovely staff. Not much to do in local area but would use hotel again as a 1 night stop over to somewhere else."

Tanini Sepilok (Formerly Nature Lodge Sepilok)

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good"

The Elopura Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel did the job for one night before I joined a tour. The staff were very friendly, my suitcase had been taken in before I even realised it was out the taxi! I stayed on a saturday night and there was live music in the street until about 10pm, something to be aware of if that bothers you. The walls seem quite thin also. For me it wasn't really an issue for one night."

Hotel Meliden

8/10 Good

"A basic hotel used as an overnight before our Kinabatangan River trip. Excellent value for money and in a good location for us."

Sanbay Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very dated and could do with a spruce up. However, the room was a good space, with a comfortable bed, kettle and fridge. There was a large supermarket behind and it was 20 minutes walk into Sandakan shops."

Hotel Lutana

8/10 Good

"Fantastic"
