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 but fit for purpose, staff and food great
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.

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.

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.

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!!!

We really enjoyed staying here. It is basic but a different experience to the other lodges. Rooms where the walls slide away to bring the outside in. Comfortable beds with mosquito nets. Outdoor shower. Lots of hammocks to relax in. Communal areas to sit and meet other guests. The food wasn’t special but was good enough.

The property is OK, did its purpose. The staff are wonderful and the location is perfect for the orang-utans sanctuary. The location is not good for anything else unless you have your own car or want to spend money on cabs - there is nothing around. You rely on their meals and services. The internet service is only available in the common area of the meals area and is barely useable. My advice, if you have urgent emails or bookings to do, do it before you get to this property.

A real rainforest retreat
This resort is really in the jungle with not a lot around it. Although it is close to the Orangutan sanctuary, the Sunbear conservation centre and the rainforest discovery centre (within 5km), they is really not much else going on in the area. It is about a 45 minute drive from the town of Sandakan. The room is what you would expect to find in a tropical retreat. The rooms are pretty basic but do have an air conditioner, a fan and a mosquito net as well as an outdoor bathroom. The staff are pretty good at the resort but there is room for improvement and make it a better experience for their customers. Overall it was nice to be close to the main attractions of the area

Dark and depressing place in the jungle
This place from the photos looked unique with a romantic setting in the lush jungle, but when we got there we couldn't be more disappointed. Both the common areas where people can sit at the tables for a simple meal or drinks and the rooms were dark and depressing. There's not much one can do at this place. The treks through the jungle were not maintained and closed off. The outdoor bathroom was the only nice feature, but we had to be mindful to keep the door between the bedroom and bathroom closed all the time for fear of mosquitoes.

Fun and unique place right in the jungle. The rooms are pretty basic cabins, but they do have balconies overlooking the jungle, air conditioning and outdoor bathrooms with hot showers. I saw a monkey outside my balcony when I arrived! Their ecological approach and ethos is great. And the staff is friendly and helpful. It was handy to have food available there. I also met some other interesting travelers there -- it's easy to meet people while staying at Paganakan Dii.

Nice, unusual place but don't expect luxury.
I only stayed here one night, and I knew I wanted somewhere quiet, surrounded by nature and that's what I got so I was happy with the location. As other reviews have said, there's a long, very steep path up to reception. I felt bad for asking the taxi driver to take me there! There was a mix up with my booking so I had to go back to reception to ask to be moved to my ridge hut rather than the standard one. From what I understood from other reviews elsewhere it was a slog to get to them, but they were worth it for the views. Mine was just around the corner from the first hut, and lower down the hill. It was identical to the first one on the inside so I don't see what the upgrade was. The room itself was nice and big, and the aircon worked extremely well. The huts are quite cool and rustic, but this does mean they aren't exactly airtight so critters can get in. Watch out for droppings. The sliding wall leading onto a private balcony was the reason I booked here, and it was fun to use. The view is of a pond and a palm oil plantation, not the rainforest, but it's still interesting and quite beautiful. The people were nice and friendly too.

Awesome hideout
Love this place! We had an amazing room with a beautiful view. The food was pretty good at the restaurant. Free shuttle service to the sanctuaries was awesome. A few things to note: our outdoor bathroom shares a wall and lack of roof with our neighbors bathroom, so you could hear each other.... doing everything... made it a bit awkward sometimes, but wasn't the end of the world. Also The place could definitively be taken care of a bit better, the restaurant could use a good sweep now and then and maybe a wipe down. But you are in the jungle so just embrace it. It's nothing fancy but it's very peaceful and secluded, we loved it.

An authentic experience where you felt immersed in the jungle, but the location was difficult- compared to other hotels in the area where you can walk to all the main attractions you lack independence in this hotel as you rely on the staff to drive you everywhere. There is a long steep unsurfaced driveway that taxis have difficulty going up and down so can be left walking up it alone at night. That said we still enjoyed the stay as it was quite an adventure. The rooms themselves are very rustic. The best part was the bathrooms which were almost open air and had a nice jungle feeling.

Atmospheric but stressful
The hotel is literally in the middle of nowhere (and not in a good way). It's in the middle of some oil palm plantations - 6 KM away from the main area in Sepilok. There is a steep unpaved road that goes up the hill to the resort and the taxi driver unloaded us at the bottom saying that he couldn't turn at the top (he lied) and we had to heft heavy luggage up the hill in the rain. But from the reception there's a muddy washed out path that goes further up the hill to the rooms. The place is atmospheric but you get all the bugs and critters that come with a 'plantation' type hotel. I think it's better to stay in Sandakan and do Sepilok as a day trip. No towels until we asked for them and the room aren't cleaned during your stay. Probably good for price-sensitive back packers who can slum it out in their dorm. We had another back experience while checking out at 6 AM - also because of the hotel's location. The hotel told us that they had booked a taxi for us but no one showed up. Incidentally, there were an English family who were getting a drop with the hotel's own car (not sure why we weren't offered this) and the driver told us not to worry. Come 630, we still didn't have a transport and we were completely stressed out. Then, one of the staff sauntered up the hill and told he would drop us because apparently the other driver had called him and he had called the taxi driver who had decided not to come (possibly because he'd have to climb a dirt track).

This accommodation has a great situation close to Sepilok attractions and with very reliable shuttle service (free to Orang Utan Station and Sun Bear site). The lake and hill view cabanas are great. It has a backpacker's atmosphere (in a positive sense) with groups from schools etc staying as well. Food is very tasty and not expensive. Staff was always very helpful and kind.
