Where to stay in Kinabalu National Park
Kinabalu National Park hotels & accommodations

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

1. Very friendly crew. They are helpful for any questions. 2. Far high located. With Superb hill top view. 3. But it was extremely cold in night. Would advise to get more warms clothing. 4. Perfect location that near Kinabalu National Park. 5. Suitable for Solo / Families.

The room in the main building was very clean and well dimentioned, however a bit outdated as was the bathroom. While the common areas of the hotel are newly refurbished and the surrounding gardens meticulously maintained, the hotel rooms would need some TLC. Unfortunately, the hotel's location as indicated on the Agoda map is incorrect. The hotel actually is ca 5 km ...

A nice and quiet place to relax if you love natures environment. As the Chalet is 1500+ above sea-level, be prepared to enjoy cooling weather. During our stay, the temperature was between 12 to 18 degrees centigrade. Room is clean and proper. The staff were friendly and approachable. For easy access to the hotel, highly recommended to have or rent motor vehicles. The C...

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...

Pros: 3-5mins walking to town (where you can buy groceries, food, fruits & vegetables, KFC). 10-15mins away from Kundasang attractions such as Desa Dairy farm, Cats farm & Kinabalu Park by car. 5mins away from War memorial by car. 30-45mins away from Poring hot spring, Sabah Tea Plantation, & Fish Spa. Beautiful Mount Kinabalu view (please request for it). No issues w...

The place is very bright. The first impression was great and u can feel that the owner spent so much love and effort in decorating the resort. I love the little things they put together using rocks and woods to make those cute decos. Room is so cosy and clean. Bed is warm and comfortable. The room temperature was just nice. Breakfast is free, simple yet tasty. The view...

Skyville Zen Resort is a very pleasant small mountain resort not far from mount Kinabalu national park. The bungalow style accomodation is simple but satifactory. Style of building from outside nice. Beatiful view from the garden to the valley and mountains. (other side as Mt.Kinabalu. To have a breattaking view of Mt. Kinabalu walk for about 15 min up te hill. Entran...

The Kinabalu Pine Resort is located in a great location maybe 4 miles from the Mt. Kinabalu National Park, Malaysia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Also, maybe 1 mile away is a large fruit and vegetable market and a small village for grocery shopping. Near the village on small hill is a memorial dedication for the Australian, New Zealand soldiers and local Malay'...

Very comfortable and clean to stay , kitchen facility was so completed . U can make steamboat or BBQ party as well on night times with the coldest weather . It's so great 😊 and enjoy a breakfast which can which directly to the Kinabalu mountain 😍 the view was so nice from the house . And nearby go to desa farm too . recommended Homestay in mesilau

It is near to the Kinabalu National Park. View is nice. Family room has a big balcony and BBQ facilities. Hot shower available with good water flow. However, the room is quite smelly, TV is not functioning despite has told the owner (only get our remote control few hours before check out).

I purposely waited a fortnight to do this review so it wont sound exaggerated...but i guess it still will... LOL The journey to the camp is quite adventurous, after the left turn from Ranau-Telupid highway to Jln Mamut, there was around 4km tar road with internet access. once we cross the first "bar" (with Forest Reserve sign), we still have another 4+KM uphill on grav...

Cottage is true to its description with the majestic Mt Kinabalu as the backdrop. A little off the grid from Kundasang but worth the ride. The views are spectacular. Pros: Beautiful sunrise and sunset weather dependent. Do get up early to watch the . sunrise at the tea farm👍. Breakfast is simple with the package. Enjoying the morning view is great just at the patio...

An exceptional site in the middle of nature. Only 8 minutes walking from Poring hot spring . Very easy to find it. A large sign next the entrance of the hot springs indicates the path. Spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Very clean. Owners are lovely. They offer all the facilities to make your a pleasant stay. I lost the bus from Ranau and they had no problem to chang...

Have all time hot shower. Quiet place. Clean toilet. Fresh bedsheets. Friendly & helpful staff. Picturesque view / background (mount kinabalu). Worth for money. The access to the resort quite thrilling. However when you reached there, it is worth. We’ve been told that they in the midst upgrading the access. Lovely. We will going back there if we plan to go there next t...

Comfortable quiet place but not good for young children to sleep in. No lights at evening time or during storm. Overall is ok with much friendlier staff. We booked 3 nights but left earlier due to heavy storm so had a chance for a short trek at Kinabalu National Park. Unfortunately this place was within walking distance to nearby shop because of incorrect information o...

The view from the lodge (if your room is facing the mountain) is breathtaking. But I feel that the room rate is a bit pricey for such a basic facilities, no fan, no TV. Just the bed, mineral waters and private bathroom. You can get similar price at a more proper hotel room (e.g Dream World) which is nearer to Mount Kinabalu. I would suggest for the owner to provide a...

1. Honesty and integrity are by far the most important assets of an entrepreneur. 2. Transparency, honesty, kindness, good stewardship, even humor, work in businesses at all times. 3. Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread.

I booked this little gem for my dad who travelled to Mesilou from KK with his group of friends. I heard good reviews about this place from him and his friends. Just a bit of a drive from Kundasang town (around 11km away) which was not as big of an issue.

Room is run down and sparse - no place to hang clothing or keep luggage. Door was not working. need to slam hard to shut door. room was not clean. dust and dirt found from top to bottom of room and bed linen. toilet was the same. floor tiles were sticky to the feet. water heater was not working correctly - lukewarm water even at hottest setting. For this pric...

At first I didn't expect Walai Tokou homestay is consisting of many houses. So at first it was hard for me to get a room because the person in charge for agoda booking was not around, and the staff at the restaurant has been trying to contact the person in charge but could not get through. My fault here was I did not print the confirmation slip from Agoda. The internet...

The view from the room is perfect and fascinating! For me, i think it is even better than the Desa Dairy Farm. Wake up in the morning and the Kinabalu Mountain is just in front of you. There is also a kitchen where you can cook and barbeque. We cook our own food and then sit in the balcony, enjoy the breeze, the view, the food and the precious time with family. De...

Either their leaders are brain dead or just lazy. These place is like ancient . No new attractions , no better services and not value for money to visit.
If you come to Kinabalu National Park, you must climb Mount Kinabalu. The experience is unforgettable and you can enjoy the nice and beautiful nature around you.
Kinabalu Park is very rich in the value of Nature activities like hiking, birding, jungle tracking, study of vegetations etc.
Most go to climb the mountain or at least spend sometime in the foot hills. The scenery is spectacular especially in the evening or early morning when the clouds clear.
its quite well kept, its cleaner now then it is before several years back. good place for people who like nature and sightseeing
Didn't really get to see a lot of the National Park. Walked some of the tracks near the entrance to the Park.
Malaysia first world natural heritage, worthed to go, if can going for hiking to the mountain will be nicer, pity we only spend 1 day here.
Kinabalu national park is important that the starting point for climbing the mountain.but some facility need to upgrade that nothing can see around the park.
Stunning park; great trails with a variety of levels for all types of fitness ability - weather is changeable though, and temperatures can drop quickly so you need to have layers and a good waterproof jacket with you.
THIS IS A GREAT PLACE FOR ECOLOGICAL TRAVEL. EXCELLENT BIRDSWATCHING AND INSECT SEARCHING, WE SPENDING 6DAYS FOR BIRDING AND STILL FEEL NOT ENOUGH ! THERE ARE SEVERAL RESTRANTS OUTSIDE THE PARK.
Ask the Park Office regarding the weather. It can be quite disappointing when you couldn't see the Mt kinabalu if the weather is bad.
Various species of flora & founa and insects can be found. I like the view, the weather and really comfortable with this place
Be well prepared physically and mentally if you opt for the climb on top of mount kinabalu. It's very tiring that's for sure.
Definitely for nature-lovers, people who want a quiet holiday and people who love trekking only. Lots to do there if you are in that categories and bored if you do not fall into that categories.
Good to see the nature and have a feel of the Mt Kinabalu. Nice weather but avoid to go there in the raining season.
Go to Mesilau Nature Centre for a cup of tea while enjoying the beautiful scenery, relaxing music and the chirping of wild birds.
People are very kind and friendly. Facilities in the national park got very dirty and stinky because of the number of tourists, and cleaning was not prompt and efficient.
Kinabalu National Park, about 90 kilometres from Kota Kinabalu, is one of the world's most significant natural environments.
Try the guided trail walk at Kinabalu Park. The longest jungle trail in Kinabalu Park is about 5KM walk.
This is the highest peak in South East Asia. Climbing the mountain from Mesilau point could be challenging.
This place houses the World Heritage Site, Mt. Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia. Many Sabah visitors come here just to climb the mountain.
The park is declared one of the World Heritage sites with many exotic & endemic flora & fauna that many nature enthusiasts would love and appreciate.
A major attraction in Sabah. Kinabalu is the highest mountain in south east Asia..A lot of people hiking up to the mountain.
It is very hard to get food. My partner and I at the end had instant cup noodles for dinner. Also it is very hard to get petrol there.
amazing view- you can see clearly kinabalu mountain around 6.30am - 8am,such a beautiful view ive ever seen
such a nice sightseeing. good for honeymoon but not suitable for a long holiday because all the interesting place can be visit within 2 days.
Climbing Mt. Kinabalu was a great experience. Don't get this close and not go up. The food is great and plentiful at Laban Rata and there is a great atmosphere.
Kinabalu National Park is a must place to go in Sabah as it offers the most maginificent views of Mount Kinabalu & Crockerange.
They provided a place where you can take picture with mount kinabalu view at the back. go there before 7am where no cloud and clear sceenary.
I was disappointed with the National Park. I was expecting the whole area to be within the park as in the national parks in US.
