Guest Reviews
- Su Yi (10/5): - Very near Gunung Kinabalu National Park. Everything is okay, but might have bugs when the sliding door is opened for ventilation.
- KAMARUL ZAMAN (10/5): -
- Victor Raphael (8/5): Very near to Kinabalu Park! - My 2nd time staying here before & after our Mt.Kinabalu climb. Its very near to Kinabalu Park & we love this place. Hope to stay here again for our 3rd climb💪
- Jane (8/5): Good value accommodation close to the Mt Kinabalu National Park entrance - Ideal location for the National Park with simple, clean accommodation Pillows and mattressses need replacing
- Celer (9/5): A good money fo good value - The view, the enviroment A step road, parking space, no cloth iron
- Pei Ying (8/5): - 就在登山口下方,走路約五分鐘,早上出發登山非常方便。 從房間走到出口需要經過很長一段陡坡,手提行李會很不方便。浴室熱水出水量小,洗澡會冷。
- Lina (10/5): Very nice . - The location is excellent, within walking distance of Mount Kinabalu Park. There are two restaurants nearby — one directly across from the park closes at 7:00 PM, and there's a Chinese restaurant ahead that serves very delicious food but closes at 4:00 PM. A small issue occurred upon check-in, but the hotel resolved it very well. The weather at Mount Kinabalu is generally cool, so taking an afternoon shower isn't cold at all. The Wi-Fi speed is good, and the hotel is surrounded by a quiet, elegant environment with a few lovely little cats. You can also spot several bird species commonly seen in Mount Kinabalu — I Chestnut hooded laughingthrush / Chestnut crested yuhina /Little cuckoo dove../ Black capped white eye / I managed to photograph many of them right at the hotel . The room is very clean. The staff's service attitude is also very good. We stayed 4 nights.
- Andreas (8/5): - Nãhe zum NP Kinabalu 9
- Yi Shin (6/5): - Proximity to Kinabalu Park HQ.
However the steep descend to the resort is a great inconvenience to those lugging luggage.

- Tan (8/5): Good for hiker - Good location, near Kinabalu park No wifi
- Hau kit (6/5): Good but not great. I would gove a fair 6 - I like about the location and ambience as it nears to sabah park Water pressure was low and no wifi nor mobile connection is a big no no.
- alice (8/5): - emplacement trés proche de l'entrée du parc, parking disponible sur place, au calme.
- Marcs (10/5): Overnight in nature house - Site with mountain view and big window to surrounding wild nature. All standard comfort with tiny room and terrace japanese style. Restaurants and NP nearby Weather. Rainy cold march day. Fog prevented good sight in afternoon
- LOK YEE (6/5): - When we were there , the WiFi router is broken and no Internet connection during our stay.
Beside , the water for shower is not hot enough
- Taddius (10/5): -
- SUHAINI (9/5): -
- Jesper (6/5): - Værelserne var ikke lydisoleret så man kunne høre alt hvad der foregik på den anden side af vægen. Elkedel starter, plugin lyd til opladning af telefon og stemmer lige så tydeligt.
- Elaine (3/5): - Location n environment Need lot of maintenance
Water is out half way
Light at living hall too dark
- Ah Boey (8/5): Hair dryer available upon request - Good location for mount KK hikers. There are a lot of insects at night.
- WILSON PADON (10/5): -
- Shing Hei (8/5): The hotel is located in rural area so you should not expect too much for facilities. A cost-effective choice for climber - Very close to Kinabalu park entrance.
Hotel can help to keep your luggage’s when you are climbing Mount Kinabalu WiFi connection is poor. When there are too many guests connecting to hotel’s WIFI, connection to Internet will fail.
- Nadine Galzy (8/5): - Des petits chalets sympathiques à 300m de l'entrée du parc national du Kinabalu.
Une personne très gentille à l'accueil RAS

- Venessa (10/5): -
- Haeyoung (7/5): - The staff were all friendly. When it rained, it was so cold, the blanket was soggy, and it was cold even when I turned on the water heater, so it was hard to wash my hair and I caught a cold because I didn't have a dryer. I couldn't sleep well because I could hear the sound of talking in the next room. The location was close to the entrance to Kinabalu Park and had a nice view, but it would be the same everywhere around.
- Meifeng (9/5): -
- Yu shu (9/5): - 很乾淨 員工也很友善 可以跟櫃檯借吹風機! 水壓很小
- Agnes (8/5): -
- Petter (8/5): Good for short stay if going to Kinabalu park - Nice views and location Moldy, dirty and hard to get around. Hosts didn’t help us out to much
- YUN (9/5): -
- alison (3/5): - Grounds were pretty Whole room including bed on a lean, hot water not hot, bathroom dirty, bed very uncomfortable.
- Junaidah (8/5): - Pemandangan kabus yang cantik Kemudahan tv yang tidak update.
- irina (8/5): - Отличное расположение. Вход в парк в трёх минутах ходьбы. Несколько кафе с хорошей едой тоже рядом В номере не хватает тумбочки у кровати и стула. А так всё хорошо.

- Sarah (6/5): - Tolle Lage direkt am Eingang des Nationalparks . Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiterinnen. Schöne Gartenanlage mit toller Aussicht. Alles sehr einfach gehalten und schon in die Jahre gekommen. Keinerlei Komfort im Bad, so fehlen Ablageflächen und es gibt keine Trennung von Dusche und Toilette. Die Unterkünfte sind sehr hellhörig, so dass man unweigerlich von seinen Nachbarn aufgeweckt wird.
- Nabilah (8/5): - Nice view from the room
- Nabilah (8/5): - Beautiful scenery
- Jeremy (1/5): - The view from the garden. They were understanding when we arrived late due to driving conditions. Misleading advert. Best described as a damp cabin, certainly not a "superior twin". Very damp, run down. We could see straight through the floorboards to the soil below. Mouldy curtains. Shower room was a concrete add on, not even painted. I asked politely if they had a less damp/better room and was told they were fully booked - this was a lie as at least two other rooms were made up and not occupied until we left at 8 the following morning. Avoid.
- User141022 (8/5): - Nearby to mount Kinabalu park. Good facilities for BBQ The hike up to reception.

- Victoria (7/5): Nearest to MOUNT Kinabalu - Convenient location for MOUNT Kinabalu, garden and balcony Lack of Cafe and walk to the nearest one was on a very busy road
- ismail (9/5): -
- Besterleo (8/5): Very good - The cds,i also like all the cats that were there,just need some good coffee i think The reception are supposed to be a bit more closer to the room that people stayed in since most of the people are from gunung kinabalu trip,heavy and sore legs and need to climb the stairs again right after checking out ouch or just make the receptionist be at the gate right before people park below but overall its okay
- Family (10/5): Good - Semua Tiada
- camilla (6/5): -
- Nick (8/5): Great location near the Kinabalu park gate - Great location - it's an easy walk to the park headquarters and there are superb views of the valley from the guesthouse. There's no restaurant so without a car you'd be limited to the very fine Tahubang restaurant opposite the park gate for food (Box Hotel has a restaurant but we didn't try it). Friendly staff and spacious rooms with comfy beds. The drive is VERY steep - it's a bit of a nerve test driving up and down it!
- CHING WEN (7/5): 以這個價格,算很不錯的! - 價格便宜,床舒服,離神山公園很近。 浴室熱水非常小,需要先接到水桶後再洗澡,不然可能會感冒,洗髮精只有兩小包,女生不夠使用; 沒有wifi,經詢問櫃檯,說是電信公司的問題。
- Sin Nie (8/5): -

- wahab (7/5): -
- Amirah (8/5): Place to stay for akinabalu hikers - Cheap price for cozy stay. My 1st choice to stay whenever we need to hike Kinabalu Mountain. The residence are in front of Kinabalu Park. None.
- Amirah (8/5): Cozy stay for hikers - Nice location to stay for kinabalu hikers. Cheap price for a night. Staff really helpful. Got some errors in my booking.com, but staff able to reserve 1 room for emergency stay. None
- DASIMA (8/5): -
- Lim (7/5): Had a wonderful stay but was woken up by those noisy hikers on our chalet balcony. - Wonderful chalet, peaceful and cold. Fast check in and friendly staff. Wish they provide breakfast. We are staying at chalet 5 superior triple room with parking space. So the chalet has a spacious balcony and in the early morning. Hikers will go into the chalet balcony and making noise as it is wooden floor & talking loudly, taking pictures while we were sleeping. Woke us up. Hope owner will do something about that like put a no entry sign or a gate.
- Francis (7/5): - Location Nowhere to store or hang clothes
- Pietro (10/5): - La vista incredibile, la vicinanza al Kinabalu park e la stanza spaziosa Aggiungerei qualche Appennino in camera e dei trasporti per chi come noi non aveva una macchina ma ha raggiunto il residence con trasporti pubblici che però in quella zona non c'è una linea con fermate e orari
- Lee Ping Yong (8/5): -
- Arshad (9/5): -
- Afaf binti (10/5): - Bkn view gunung tp view bukit2..mmg sejuk..
- Anna (8/5): -
- AlexandraFelix (9/5): Mt.Kinabalu Stay - The best thing about this place is it's location to Sabah Park entrance is only 1-2 mins drive. If you're going for Mt.Kinabalu hike the next day, this is the place. Room is big enough and clean, the only downside is the shower room is not completely enclosed, when it's windy it'll get very cold when showering. Staffs are friendly and helpful.
- Amirah (8/5): Good place to stay before kinabalu hike - Room is good. Price is good. Great location for Kinabalu hikers to stay before the hike because the hotel really close to kinabalu park. Less than 5min drive. I've stayed here with my friends for so many times. Nothing.
- Sis Weeda (8/5): -
- Glen (6/5): - There was no desk, or chair in the room, yet there was enough space for one. Required to pay a MYR50 deposit. Dangerous power sockets. Intrusive cats (fine if you’re a cat lover). No tea, only coffee. No soundproofing, so very noisy next room and outside.
- 寶升 (9/5): Will came back - Like it very much , third time staying No
- Syed Roslan bin Syed (8/5): - View Road to small I'm waiting 15 minutes to queue car in front to registration
