The worst accommodation in my life
the worst accommodation in my life, the very old room, the bathroom in a desolate state, the window in the room can not be closed, all night, I heard the noise of cars out of road, the disgusting breakfast I donated to the local cat. Wifi was only in restaurant. Only one things was good, very close to entrance Kinabalu Park

Needs Renovation and Repair
The location is pretty good being a 10 minute walk to the Kinabalu National park. The staff are friendly and produce good meals although breakfast is very basic and almost inedible. The biggest negative is the condition of the accommodation and its cleanliness. I wouldn't mind too much but we were paying prices much higher than the standard offered. The owners need to spend some of the profits they are making on renovation and repair of existing facilities.

A convenient and friendly place to stay on the main route to Ranau. Breakfast with lovely views was great, but otherwise the room was unnecessarily bland and a little noisy.

Great views - great location near Mount Kinabalu
Wow! What a wonderful friendly place. So glad we stayed here. The room was good value and walking distance to the national park for plenty of treks around the mountain, even though we weren't climbing to the top. Incredible views from their balcony restaurant. Highly recommend.

Low budget with a view
We stayed at the vila after climbing Mt Kinabalu. The room is very basic, walls are super thin and the shower is hot if you manage to squeeze in between the toilet and the wall. Breakfast was included and the staff was very helpful. This is a low budget accommodation with all the bear minimum. Free wi-fi is available in the reception/restaurant area.
