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?! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D544D1D1FB64895C68F054AD035228700A8886941737124112735.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from my bedroom ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5B60DB45AA91BA7E8D83BEBF80E59954E4823A3D1737124111569.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CA36CDB46192D57408900E7B9FD226480FDF9AD31737124108418.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AC50FDF802241BA1BF5D0677289ED8F0F4D73B151737124107732.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard 9 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities 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.

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. ##### Meredith Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Victor 10 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness 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. ##### Victor Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Francesca 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Francesca Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elianne 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Well looked after Wonderful place, such friendly, helpful staff.

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!! ##### Jo Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Veronica 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Abbiamo soggiornato qui due notti ad Agosto, che dire il posto é circondato dalla foresta, stupendo! Si è in mezzo alla natura! Le ragazze sono gentilissime e si preoccupano di dare tutte le informazioni. Il cibo è fantastico! C’è un servizio di navetta gratuito per il centro di conservazione degli oranghi e per l’escursione nella giungla se ricordo bene due volte al giorno. Per quanto riguarda la camera la vista era pazzesca peccato solo che là si possa vedere tenendo lo scuro aperto, ma così c’è la possibilità che entrino insetti perché ovviamente non ci sono zanzariere. Il bagno è all’aperto, fa parte dell’esperienza. Abbiamo trovato tutto abbastanza pulito a parte qualche formichina sul letto. Consigliato! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/54abbc50-e343-4264-a317-459856559e48-1759246091264.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/46fed1c6-0cde-4b00-909d-d7f1388d6b2b-1759246091465.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/600dbf14-cc08-4f2d-a1a7-80c9d8fa99fc-1759246089683.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e8841083-ab8e-4be7-8a6d-1ee51e060eec-1759246086431.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Veronica Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### mailys 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Muy bonito, cómodo y tranquilo! Bungalows muy bonitos , para alojarse en la selva. Está muy tranquilo, alejado de Sepilok pero te llevan con un mini van. Tienen restaurante para desayunar, comer y cenar . El chalet era muy cómodo, con aire acondicionado y mosquetera. Si que animalitos pueden entrar ya que el baño está abierto, pero solamente son gekos y mosquitos ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/589c3761-c509-451c-91fc-eeb646ca5e4e-1758512589084.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/070f7fd2-0c23-4e96-82cb-e8dd4836e308-1758512592609.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### mailys Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcel 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Sehr schöne Natur, toller Blick ins Grüne ##### Marcel Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cristiana 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I bungalow sono spartani ma molto puliti. Non troppo spazioso. Noi abbiamo dormito in una camera famigliare con letto matrimoniale e letto a castello, molto comodi. Il bagno è annesso alla stanza ma praticamente aperto verso la foresta, molto molto basico ma funzionale. Cucina OTTIMA ed economica. Personale super gentile e disponibile Navetta gratuita per i parchi dei dintorni ad orari prestabiliti. Gli esterni sono poco curati.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy 18 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a great time staying at Paganakan Dii. The hotel is rustic, but clean. It is a quiet location and you really feel like you are in the jungle when you are staying there. The staff are very friendly and it is lovely that they organize shuttle services to the Orangutan Sanctuary as well as the Rain Forest Discovery Center. Our kids loved staying the bunk beds and the mosquito nets added to the adventure. ##### Wendy Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 10 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Adila 26 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities true nature ##### Adila Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great lodge in the heart of Sepilok. Good facilities and very tasty basic food. Staff amazingly friendly and helpful, especially when organising trips. Very child friendly. The kids loved chilling in the hammocks and listening to the spunds of the jungle. Free transport to Sepilok, Sun bears etc. If yoi have time dont miss out the Rainforest Discovery Centre. Almost deserted and haven for wildlife. Saw orang utans, flying squirrels, slow loris etc. The night waalk is a must! Paganankan is also highly recommended as a lodge, especially if you have kids!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness The location is great, the cabins lovely and the staff fantastic! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cameron Highlands Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tanah-Rata-Hotels-Cameron-Highlands-Resort.h1592373.Hotel-Information) > > [Tanini Sepilok (Formerly Nature Lodge Sepilok)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Nature-Lodge-Sepilok.h15451629.Hotel-Information) > > [Bunga Raya Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gaya-Island-Hotels-Bunga-Raya-Island-Resort-Spa.h2939927.Hotel-Information) > > [Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Poring Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kota-Kinabalu-Hotels-Sutera-Sanctuary-Lodges-At-Poring-Hot-Springs.h4326031.Hotel-Information) > > [NEWLINA HOMESTAY, Nibong Tebal, Seberang Perai Selatan, Penang, Malaysia.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nibong-Tebal-Hotels-Newlina-Homestay.h34345115.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tuaran-Hotels-Shangri-La-Rasa-Ria.h48661.Hotel-Information) > > [Sama-Sama Express KLIA Terminal 1 - Airside Transit Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sepang-Hotels-Sama-Sama-Express-KLIA-Airside-Transit-Hotel.h10945921.Hotel-Information) > > [Strawberry Park Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brinchang-Hotels-Strawberry-Park-Resort.h8395.Hotel-Information) > > [Tanjong Jara Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dungun-Hotels-Tanjong-Jara-Resort.h892199.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Viva](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Klang-Hotels-Hotel-Viva.h18059905.Hotel-Information) > > [Japamala Resort by Samadhi – Age 12 and Above Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tioman-Island-Hotels-Japamala-Resort.h1709375.Hotel-Information) > > [Map Travelodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tanah-Rata-Hotels-Map-Travelodge.h19927930.Hotel-Information) > > [Tunamaya Beach & Spa Resort Tioman Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tioman-Island-Hotels-Tunamaya-Beach-Spa-Resort.h6820550.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabin Wildlife Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lahad-Datu-Hotels-Tabin-Wildlife-Resort.h6928953.Hotel-Information) > > [Sutera @ Mantanani Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pulau-Mantanani-Besar-Hotels-Sutera-Mantanani-Island-Resort-SPA.h33350901.Hotel-Information) > > [Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sepang-Hotels-Sama-Sama-Hotel.h552055.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reef Dive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mataking-Island-Hotels-The-Reef-Dive-Resort.h15092115.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Damai Laut Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lumut-Hotels-Swiss-Garden-Beach-Resort-Damai-Laut.h861775.Hotel-Information) > > [Empire Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pulau-Perhentian-Besar-Hotels-Eco-Marine-Perhentian-Island-Resort-Hostel.h19887698.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest City Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johor-Bahru-Hotels-Forest-City-Marina-Hotel.h17399959.Hotel-Information) > > [Sepilok Jungle Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandakan-Hotels-Sepilok-Jungle-Resort.h5140593.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chateau Spa & Wellness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuantan-Hotels-The-Chateau-Spa-Organic-Wellness-Resort.h4308783.Hotel-Information) > > [Gaya Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gaya-Island-Hotels-Gaya-Island-Resort.h4981793.Hotel-Information) > > [Gayana Marine Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kota-Kinabalu-Hotels-Gayana-Marine-Resort.h2322305.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest City Johor brand new homestay 2019](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johor-Bahru-Hotels-Forest-City-Johor-Brand-New-Homestay-2019.h39967063.Hotel-Information) > > [Redang Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Redang-Island-Hotels-Redang-Island-Resort.h11666689.Hotel-Information) > > [Father's Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tanah-Rata-Hotels-Fathers-Guest-House.h9456475.Hotel-Information) > > [Sabah Tea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ranau-Hotels-Sabah-Tea-Garden.h4231368.Hotel-Information) ### Cars ---
