Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm.
Sandakan is not a city brimming with character and charm. It is OK and you can find a small number of nice enough places to eat and drink, if you set your mind to it. I would not want to have stayed there more than one day and I won’t be going back anytime soon.

We used Sandakan as the gateway to Turtle Island and the Kinabatangan River. We had lunch in a central hotel which was fine, not a lot for vegetarians but the service was good. We could have spent a little longer there, it seems easy to get around.

Great little town, wouldn’t spend more than a day or two here unless you were using as a base to go and see the orangutans and rainforest discovery centre or island tours. Great water front dinners. Shopping mall and grocery store close to water front. Nice vibe.WendyAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0
It’s my home town and I have lots of fond memories.
It’s my home town and I have lots of fond memories. Fresh seafood paradise and amazing mixed cuisine with traditional Chinese, Malaysian food and Indian dishes. Everything in the food market is super cheap and fresh. The town centre is looking undeveloped and unloved.PeaseUnited Kingdom - 4.0Scored 4.0

Not much to do in the town or much to see and nowhere very nice places to eat/drink. Unfortunately it is quite run down so book a decent hotel to stay in and make the most of the experiences available in the area.NormaUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0
Beautiful place. Lots of nature.
Beautiful place. Lots of nature. We visited the Borneo Sunbear conservation centre, The orang utan sanctuary, the Rainfoest Discovery Centre and the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Centre. All above were very interesting and nicely done. However, you do need a car to get about as distances are far from Sabah Hotel. Ride-sharing app (Grabcar) is a good alternative. Seafood is cheap, plentiful and yummy in the Chinese restaurants

- From $20.38 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 439 reviewsI have booked this hotel through the Booking.com. The hotel staff has called for double confirmation. Since the hotel room was full, the staff upgraded my room to a queen bed type. The staff is very responsible and helpful. The room is big and the bed is very comfortable. The toilet is also clean and big. There is wifi and it is guaranteed in terms of security because every tenant will be given a door passcode. The price is worth it. Easy to park a car. I will book this hotel again if I come to Sandakan. The best!MUHD AMINUDDIN ASMADMalaysia
- From $21.45 per night7.0Scored 7.0GoodRated good· 54 reviewsI had an early flight to Sandakan and headed straight to the hotel. I've requested for an early check-in (between 9am-10am). The hotel was very accommodating to allow an early check-in so I can refresh myself before going for my appointment. I don't usually take breakfast because all I need to start my day is a cup of hot coffee. Glad to see that there's a coffee & tea facility at the lounge so I can have my coffee the way I like it, even if it's instant coffee.
Imelda.ThadeusMalaysia - From $109.50 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 397 reviewsThe location is incredible. Only 20 min from Sandakan and less than 5 minutes walking from the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary as well as the Sun Bear sanctuary. The staff is incredibly kind and the food is excellent. The hotel is located in a beautiful natural environment, surrounded by a lake. The pictures don't do it justice. To get to fall asleep listening to the frogs, the crickets and nature was a true gift!GabrielaMalaysia
