Guest Reviews
- zaima (4/5): - Dirty..dust every where..towel smelly..water supply interruption..environment dirty...many mosquitos..no shampoo/bath gel provided..must request.
- Santi (10/5): - Staffs are so friendly especially the housekeeping staffs are very efficient and very fast respond...
- Murray (8/5): Basic - Pleasant outlook with views to the mountain, however the chalets are in need of a general update. This is quite an old property and would gain much from a renovation.
- AHMAD SOLIHIN BIN (4/5): - I have booked a Junior Suite room. But upon check-in, the staff told me that there would be no TV channel in my room. Later I realised that the room opposite (which is a smaller type of room) had the TV on inside the room! My room was very big and spacious. It was supposed to be the mountain view but all I could see was only the tip of the mountain as there is a huge and tall fences infront of the room! I had to go to the outside of the hotel’s restaurant to see the full view. The water heater was working but the water pressure was low. The breakfast (not included in the room’s price) was not good either. The location was good, just a walking distance to the small town. Overall, it’s not worth the price and will not stay in the hotel again.
- Alicecia (6/5): - Stay at chalet no. 5 for 1 night before Christmas. Bigger room with cheaper rate. No tv, no service room (to deliver food / dinner) carpet too old.
- Hamdan (8/5): - It was facing the mount Kinabalu ,very nice view from our hotel.Very clear view of the mountain in the morning.but very upset there were no freezer provided to store our food.At least small freezer will do.Thanks.
- MOHAMAD NOOR HISYAM (10/5): Villa no. 1 - Easy checkin. The staff give us the best view window directly to mount Kinabalu.
- Khuzaili Hairizam (4/5): Bad experience - Lots of mosquitos, the facilities is not well maintain. Bad smell at the room.
- mohd nazli (2/5): - Place at middle of town kundasang. Pay rm180 per night To old facility without tv and breakfast are very disappointed.
- Lau Beng (10/5): Good Service - Hotel owner is nice and helpful. Very recommender for stay!
- Fina (8/5): - The lamps in room can be brighter.
We need to choose the breakfast menu (1 meal and 1 drink)
Mount Kinabalu can be viewed from room.
- JEMIAH (2/5): I rate as 3 out of 10. Looks nice in photo only. - The toilet was leaking. Facilities too basic with no wardrobe to hang towels. Not value for money at all.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Location , near to Flea Market n easy to move
Around.
- HH (6/5): - Can see Mt Kibabalu directly from the studio chale. Room is bit dated and cleanliness needs improvement.
Staff are friendly and service is prompt.
- iera_azirah (6/5): - Stay here for one night. Room looks quite old. Room has no fridge. The lighting inside the room suitable for honeymoon couple not for family (dim light). Breakfast also limited - fried mee, nasi lemak & porridge with hot tea / coffee. If want cold water, have to buy . The best thing here is the scene is superb especially at the cafe where the Mount of Kinabalu can clearly be seen. Staff also helpful
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good location with beutiful mount kinàbalu bacground.
Facilities would look better if planted with plant with colourful flowers an.d green
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Food at the restaurant is awesome
- Jia Yean (8/5): Great location with awesome mountain view - Great location, very near to the "town" at Kundasang, walking distance to KFC, Kundasang Memorial War Musuem. the view from our room to Mt Kinabalu is awesome, you can also view it from the restaurant, it's superb!!! The room condition is normal or below average, 2-3 stars rating. Can be improve by providing better room slipper, more choices on TV channel (only Malay channel available), brighter lighting in the room.
The breakfast included have few choices to choose, the 2nd day I ordered Nasi Lemak and asked for more sambal, the staff said it's chargeable which I felt it's too "stingy" . Overall the hotel is OK, only the mountain view from the hotel impressed me. And great location
- pencetusummah (10/5): - room with great view..best for relaxation
- Ridhwan (8/5): - Nice location. I can see the sun rise every morning and the peak of mount kinabalu. Location is close to Kundasang town. Foods are easily find.
- Harbajan (8/5): - Very Nice excellent staff and helpful while checking in. Only that they have to do something about the cats loitering around the rooms and restaurant area.
- M (8/5): Perfect stop on the way from KK to Sandakan. - Perfect stop on the way from KK to Sandakan. Dont expect 4 or 5 stars. But its okay and the price is reasonable. Visit the hotsprings or Mount Kinabalu
- Sean (10/5): Great place to stay! - Very convenient place to stay nearby famous place to visit, restaurant, town area. Most wonderful experience is the nice view of mount kinabalu in the morning!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice mountain view from the room - Nice night ever..the view is amazing..the fish pond beside the room is calm and nice
- N (8/5): Good location - Nearby to the town. 5mins walking to town (restaurants, KFC), 5mins drive to the War Memorial, 10-15mins drive to Desa dairy farm & Cats farm. Spectacular Mt. Kinabalu view.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Overpriced - Junior suite is way overpriced considering the lack of facilities, no hot water, poor quality F&B.
- Mohammad faizal (8/5): Comfort enought for the whole family - The villa that we stayed was good comfort. Its just that we water was straight from the mountain so dont expect to have hot water even their using water heater with pump.
The view was spectacular!
- Kerry (10/5): Nice view and convenient location - Had a great stay at this hotel for 2 nights. The view from the hotel is amazing as my studio chalet is facing the mount KKm although it all depends on the weather. My family and I had great time chilling outside the balcony in the morning, overlooking the Kundasang town, farm and mountain. The location of hotel is 100%, just by roadside near town area. It is easy to go anyway around kundasang since it's in the middle of every where. Totally recommended for those who don't plan to drive uphills.
Downside is the hotel condition, it need a bit maintenance due to old age. Breakfast was ok, but we only get 2 free breakfast for a room that accommodate 4 person.
- Sea Prawn (4/5): 2 Days Stay @ Nabalu Kundasang - The room quite high for the conditions and services. Room furnitures quite outdated and the sofa also worn down. Management should consider replacing all old furnitures. Bathroom also need to improved. Overall just a decent stay BUT quite high for the kind of room provided.
- KS (2/5): Lousy! - Studio chalet: Terrible experience! Foul smell in the room. Pipe at the toilet bowl keeps dripping, result in ponding near the entrance. Floor trap in the shower is in the centre, water could not flow down causing small flood. Bulbs not in good condition. No shampoo no shower gel provided. Paid RM450 for a night, very unreasonable!
- Iris (4/5): An old place - This place is quite old and rundown.
The room furnitures are old and worn out. Staff are generally friendly. They provide breakfast with the room. Our room does get the Mt Kinabalu view but partially blocked by the roof of a building. A night stay is ok.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 1. very nice place and beautiful view
2. Nice breakfast
- zahidah (6/5): Nice hotel - i like the mountain view when having breakfast at the hotel.
- Joseph (8/5): Nicely located lodge at Kundasang - Good location, close to the village market and shopping center, nice view of the mountain from back terrace. Descent room with minimum amenities, room is mainly made of wood hence strong smell inside. Good food and breakfast at the restaurant, with helpful and kind attendants/front desk receotionists. Overall a pleasant stay.
- tomoko (8/5): キナバル山観光の拠点におすすめのホテル - キナバル山に1泊したくてこちらのホテルを利用しました。格安で(6000円ほど)ジュニアスイートに宿泊できます。お部屋も広く天気が良ければ正面にキナバル山を臨むことができます。キナバル国立公園から車で5分ほどに位置しているので、朝のうちにキナバル山に向かうと晴れていることが多いのでお勧めです。チェックアウトは12時なので、キナバル山を観光してからチェックアウトしました。ホテルの朝食はイマイチでしたが、周辺に街や屋台が並んでいるので、夕食や食事は便利でした。ビールを売っているお店もありました。レンタカーで向かう方にはおすすめのホテルです
- Renee (8/5): Beautiful view of nature and friendly staffs - My stay has been relatively pleasant with a clean room and friendly staffs who are quite eager to please their guests. The only 2 things I am not entire happy are (1) Front office staff who is not careful with managing my confirmed booking. I even gave her a printed copy of my itinerary and she can still make mistake. I could easily have to sleep in my rented car because she only reconfirmed my booking for 1 night instead of 2 nights! (2) The water heater in my room is not functioning properly.
- goh (4/5): Not recommended - Mountain views were blocked by roofs and many uncompleted work around the lodge. Bed cracky sound and no toothbrushes were supplied. Bath towels were not "white"almost worn out already. Dead fish were floating in the fish pond outside the room balcony. Will not recommend or book this lodge again.
- helmy (8/5): Perfect location to stay with a family! - Very nice mountain view!!! Very much near to shops. Highly recommended
- SYAHRUL NIZAM (10/5): One Of My Amazing Stay In Kundasang Town! - The location was exactly close to the kundasang town.. Easy to find food for eateries.. There's also KFC in town.. Their own cafeteria was also serving a wonderful and delicious breakfast! My room was totally cozy and the cleanliness especially the toilet was in top priority.. Salute! However, a bit downside for me is less channel tv selection and not enough parking space area that is close to your room.. But its acceptable cuz the atmosphere of my stay at this lodge was already lovable! Will definitely come back again next time.. Thanks!!
- Chay (6/5): A cool retreat in the mountains - Enjoyed the view of the mountains from the balcony. Hotel staff were very helpful.
- DARREL (8/5): Hidden gem in Kundasang - A bit ‘unique’ for its interior decorating but after a tiring day the bed was surprising comfortable. It has all the amenities a hotel can have. But the best of all is the restaurant service. 5/5 for the food and the service at the restaurant.
- muhammad zarif (10/5): - It was nice to stay there even for 1 night. Hope there is a chance that i will return back and stay ay your hotel.. 😊
- kaz (6/5): good location - the location is good so that we can see Mt. kinabalu beautifully.
we could enjoy dinner out side of the restaurant with beautiful scenery.
no air conditioner but fan.
dust box was full with garbage when we entered.
- Verified traveler (8/5): comfortable room but weak shower - The view of the hotel is very nice. The room is spacious and quite comfortable. But the hot shower is very weak.
- ogy (10/5): Nice hotel with kinabalu mountain view - Very good experience nice people and good hospitality
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location near Mt Kinabalu Natl Park - We were upgraded to a suite -very generous sized room and a small patio with a great view of the mountain. BReakfast was included while simple was very tasty. Very friendly staff. Wifi only in the restaurant not in the room -very good signal
- Verified traveler (10/5): can see view of mountain, we like it so much - comfortable,clean, can see view of mountain. we like it so much.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very good and clean hotel. Friendly staff . Enjoyable holiday experiences for me and my family.
- Ijai (8/5): near to Dairy farm and near to see Mt. Kinabalu - nice view for Mt. Kinabalu at early morning. But, the water at hotel too cold also temperature in room also too cold without open the ceiling fan. Overall is OK...
