"The resort is 5minutes drive from the Desa Cattle Farm and 15minutes from the Kinabalu National Park which are our main destination for this trip. The least we are expecting is a room full of flies. We couldnt even open up our balcony door in the morning which is s big dissapointment as we were there to enjoy the cold weather. The restaurant menu has a lot to choose from but the price is on the high side. We decided not to drive out for meals so we dine in most of the time. Food portion was little even for young kids. There is a jacuzzi in the room but there isnt enough hot water to fill. In the end, we gave up using it. The pathway lead to our room is not roof-covered. It was raining heavily when we were there and we were all soaking wet. So bring your own umbrella!"

"The hotel is NOT near to Kinabalu National Park Headquarters. It is at least 30-40 minutes drive away, towards Ranau, half of which is on a hilly, slightly potholed gravel track. This is well signposted, so no chance of missing it, but may daunt many travellers and is not near restaurants or shops. However, after pointing out that the website falsely promised a hotel near Kinabalu HQ, we were pleased that the staff upgraded our room from Valley View (great views) to Kinabalu View (truly amazing views of the mountain from atop the ridget the hotel is based on). The room was very high quality, very clean, had good facilities, and made the best of the view with floor to ceiling windows. We didn't try the free breakfast or slightly expensive restaurant, so can't comment on those. Overall, we were very glad with our choice and would happily stay there again, if we had transport!"

"Pros - Great location. It’s on highway, and very close to both Kundansang town and Kinabalu National Park. - Clean, spacious rooms, equipped with table fans. - Basic amenities like drinking water, towel, hot shower are available. - They sell fresh strawberry jam and other items, that are made from produce of their own farm. We tried the strawberry ice cream and it was super yummy! - The evening views from the balcony are majestic! Cons - The floor was tilted towards one side - The shower area is very cramped and the only way to practically use it is to stand under it sideways. - There’s no breakfast provided here. But there are small local eateries nearby, that are open early in the morning."

"We booked the Jungle Lodge which we got for a great deal on Agoda. We had the hot springs nearly to ourselves as it was not National holiday time. The jungle lodge was clean and very spacious with a private outdoor bathtub (in addition to an indoor shower). The staff was very nice and helpful. Would definetly stay here again! Things to note: Poring Hot Springs is roughly 45 minutes past the enterance for Mount Kinabalu National Park (mountain enterance) You can use your park ticket for both the Hot Springs and the Mountain Each activity (orchard gardens, butterfly gardens, canopy) is an extra charge to do, however, just a few dollars per person per enterance No internet, though the Chinese restaurant across the street has WiFi."

"We spent three nights next to the Kinabalu National Park in Mile 36 Lodge. We decided to take a more expensive room that has a clear view of the mountain. Mind you, it was expensive but then everything in this area is in the same price range. We got a very nice, spacious room with double beds and ensuit bathroom. The latter even had curtains, which I sorely miss in SE Asia’s budget accommodations. Each room on the first floor had a private balcony with amazing view over the mountain! Breakfast was OK, nothing fancy to write home about. There is also a water dispenser which can be used to refill your bottles. There is a small convenience store on site with very friendly and affordable prices. Oh, and there are also board games for you to play if you feel so inclined. The only issues we had during our stay were minor ones: - could be closer to the park - there was no mention of the restaurant being closed on Monday night. We went there almost starving after their opening time to find it locked and completely deserted. Would have been nice if they told us in the morning as we could have eaten on our way back from the park. Anyway, we had a very good time at Mile 36 and I’d absolutely recommend it if your budget is tight."

"The close proximity to Mt Kinabalu National Park and Kundasang was perfect for us. It is close to a nice Chinese restaurant just 2 mins away too. The environment is basic but comfortable. The hot shower is really great when it gets cold at night. The drive to get in is a bit challenging though as the road is quite steep. But we managed with a rented 1.3L Myvi. "
