Book Bokara hotels

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!

Room was clean and spacious, a short grab ride from town. Staff were friendly, breakfast was good.

Top class hotel, fabulous views. Limited vegan menus are my only criticism

The staff were very responsive to maintenance issues and they were quickly resolved.

Had booked for 2 nights but left after 1 night! Terrible experience! Mindful this is a 2 star resort but the place was dilapidated, unkempt & stinking. Resort is in lush tropical setting but the whole place is neglected. Very tacky decor with concrete or plastic painted to look like wood/rustic. The place was a mess - boxes, rubble, general stuff lying everywhere. Staff are uninterested & generally loiter around. The pool was vile! A layer of scum & dirty around the tiles and the water was cloudy with lots of debris - we even found a bandaid floating. The wooden lounge beds were rotten wood and so uncomfortable. There was a pungent smell of dirty water throughout. Room was primitive with a flimsy door - didn’t feel safe at all. Given a bath towel but no hand towel - bath towel was frayed & very grubby. The bed & pillow were hard as hell and lumpy!! Woke up with a sore back Breakfast was rotten. We left the next day - staff didn’t even acknowledge or ask how was our stay! The only positive is it’s close to the sunbears & orangutan sanctuaries. Sepilok is a lovely area but consider paying a bit more for somewhere better (the Nature Resort across the road was great).

Good for a quick stay in sandakan.
