Perfect stay in Mt Kinabalu

Perfect stay in Mt Kinabalu. The house we stayed is cosy and very convenient for visiting the Mt Kinabalu Park as it’s situated inside the park. There is heater in the house which makes is super great in the rainy cold days in the mountain. Facilities are great. There is movie channel for visitors to enjoy !

The property is within the Kinabalu National Park, so it is surrounded by the flora and fauna of the rainforest, which is so dense and delightful. The hiking trails are nearby and even walking up to the first checkpoint is very convenient. I loved my time there lots as an escape from the city life.

The staff at the reception and Liwagu restaurant is attentive and courteous. KKNP is a great place to experience nature walks. The paved roads are maintained and clean. However the room & furniture is aged and requires maintenance. While the air quality in the open is refreshing and cooling, the room is stuffy. A fan to circulate the spacious room would help. The property certainly needs upgrading.

so disappointing

it remain the best option in Kundasang but every time maintenance and services are getting worst... this time, in one of the best villas they have, paid RM 800 for one night stay, not enough hot water for all guests to have a shower. My bed blanket had a big stain on one side. Restaurant is becoming ridiculously bad... overpriced, specially at breakfast time, doesn’t offer enough options and quality of food for the level of the Sutera resort..... RM 28 for french toasts that are just 2 slices of bread, 3 very small slices of banana (1/6 of a normal banana fruit), and and a spoon of honey!!?? I still recommend the place for a stay mostly because there are no better options but avoid the restaurant at all

Grundsätzlich für einen Nationalpark absolut ok, jedoch hat es mich überhaupt mitgerissen. Wir hatten das Rock Hostel, eben die günstige Variante, die soweit ok war. Sehr einfach, aber alles in Ordnung. Essen gibt es von 6-11, 12-16 und 18-22 in Buffet Form. Personal ist sehr aufgesetzt nett, aber hatte nicht so wirklich Ahnung bzw. hatte kein großes Interesse dem Gast entgegenzukommen. Die Trails sind ganz gut, wobei die Beschilderung hier und da besser sein könnte. Ist gefühlt alles nur für Leute ausgelegt, die den Gipel besteigen wollen.
