- Location: Kota Kinabalu
- Review: We used this hotel as a stop over whilst flying in and then out of the airport the next day. 10 minutes from the airport. Clean, comfy beds and a nice shower. Couldn’t of asked for more. No breakfast but we didn’t need it as we were catching an early flight out, by Hazel, August 4, 2020, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Location: Kinarut
- Review: We chose this resort because it looked laid back, homey, and natural. It was exactly as we expected. It might not have all the trappings of a high end resort, but it's the kind of place you can just feel good about. The gardens are peaceful and not overdone. The pools are nice - one in the sun and one shadier - and have children's areas. We traveled with our two small children and stayed in the family chalet. It was spacious enough for my three-year-old to run around in and had nice wooden..., by Anonymous traveler, July 26, 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Location: Kota Kinabalu
- Review: It is a clean tidy place with very attentive staff. The food was good and the rooms were comfortable. We used it as a base for our two week stay in Sabah and really enjoyed our stay there. The drive up and down the hill is interesting. It is a windy road and you have to watch out for the local water buffalo's (which are nowhere near as aggressive as the ones in Australia). Kota Kinabalu is a good launching point for all sorts of activities. We were able to see Orangutan's at a reserve about..., by Greg, February 20, 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Review: Need to improve on the cleanliness of the kitchen. Inspect the kitchen utensils, the water filter is leaking, the dish soup is non-existent, the drying rack left in the kitchen cupboard to house insects, the living room sofa leather was teared apart. The amenities advertised includes water bottles, but when asked for it from the staff on site, it’s not provided as complimentary. The bedroom door cannot be locked for some room, there’s stain on every bed and bedsheets. Overall the 3 bedroom..., by Kathrina, December 27, 2023, rated 8/10 Good

- Review: Great value room, very nicely laid out and modern. Only niggle was that the previous guest had smoked in the bathroom and the one evening I stayed, I could smell cigarettes in the corridor from another room. Not much the staff can do about idiots breaking the rules without knocking on every door, so not a fault of the hotel. Also, I stayed only one night so its probably not the norm. I would definitely recommend!, by Anonymous traveler, September 13, 2024, rated 8/10 Good
