We had a great time”
We had a great time at the Refarer Hostel. Staff was really friendly and eager to make us love Sabah as much as they do, giving us great advice on where to go to eat and drink. We stayed in a 4 beds room dorm which was that Fine, though ear plugs are definitely necessary, if not because of the other travellers.

Backpackers hostel that can be consider in Kota Kinabalu ”
We travelled to Kota Kinabalu during weekends and stay at Refarer Hostel for 2 nights. The hostel location is easy to find, behind big KFC at the roundabout. walking distance to go to Sinsuran Night Market, Gaya Street, etc. Facilities are good, pantry are well equipped, the hostel is clean, hangout place is nice and clean. Only few of their toys are broken but you can still watching tv on the comfortable sofa or reading free books from the shelf. The room minimalist (Double bed, small shelf, free towel, quite spacious room actually). I just hope the hostel can provide more place to hang our clothes. The only thing that come to my consideration about the hostel is the stairs. We need to climb a very steep iron stairs to go to the room. I think it will be difficult to those who bring too much luggage or even hand carry items to climb the stairs. The other think is we have to use so-called emergency stairs to go up to our room where the stairs is located outside the building at the back. I feel uncomfortable using the stairs at night because it is not safe especially to lady. Hope the hostel can consider the safety of their customer especially ladies. Someone might waiting at the stairs outside when there are nobody around or late at night. After all, the hostel is good (again hope Refarer Management can consider the stairs part) for backpackers and group traveler.

Perfect for Solo Traveller and Value for Money”
Situated in a strategic location, Gaya Street is 7 minutes walk away, Kota Kinabalu Waterfront and Suria Sabah is 10 minutes walk away. The hostel is new, with a modern vibe which cannot be found anywhere in Kota Kinabalu.

Refarer is a beautiful, clean and friendly hostel. It's more elegant than your average hostel, the comfortable beds and lovely staff make it very much worth it. The lobby is also a nice place to grab a drink.

Maybe the best hostel in town”
Wonderfully clean and pleasant hostel, especially for the price. Room was clean, bed was clean, nice fluffy pillows and a warm blanket, and working AC. Staff was very friendly and helpful, just ask them for directions for your activities. The hostel is located suitably in the city; it is easy to grab meals and it is only 15 mins walk from jesselton point. But be sure to bring your own soap and shampoo. They provide breakfast (tea and an anchovy sauce on rice wrap with half an egg), as well as provide airport transfer.

Excellent value for money”
During my scuba trip in Korea Kinabalu, I've stayed at 2 different hotels which are rated 4 stars and here. In my opinion this one is the best value for the money. If you are traveler you may don't need to waste your money just for the room to sleep. 코타키나발루에서 약 20일가까이 혼자 여행하면서 4성호텔 두군데서 일주일, 여기서 나머지 13일정도 묵었는데, 가성비로 보면 최고인듯함. 올해 8월에 영업 시작해서 시설도 전부 새거고 어쨋든 게스트하우스 중에 젤 좋을 듯. 혼자 여행하는 분이면 요기 강추요. 다른 게스트하우스는 ㅠㅠ 밖에서 봐도 별로 묵고싶지 않음

Modern, Clean, Bright”
There are a few reviews on here complaining about the staff, and a few complaining about the fire escape. If you are older than 90 you might have a problem with the stairs, and we found the staff to be more shy than rude. In fact when we got talking to them they were very helpful, and if they didn't know as I don't think they were local, they had friends on hand who could help with any question. High tech, clean, modern hostel. We would definitley recommend!

Comfy bed”
Had a great sleep at Refarer thanks to the comfortable bed and quiet room, however, we decided to go to a different hostel when we returned to KK because the bathroom didn't ever seem to be thoroughly cleaned and there wasn't a particularly warm atmosphere.

We love it there”
The hostel is very accessible. Just 5 min from the bus terminal coming from the airport, 10 to Gaya street, 8 to waterfront, 15 to Jesselton. The rooms and toilet and hallways are clean. The reception area is hip. The staff are extra friendly.

Very good!”
I stayed for a week, and extended several times! The rooms are very fresh, and the common areas has a nice styling to them. Everything is really super! However there are two drawbacks, the network can from time to time be both good and bad. The other thing is the stairway to the rooms. You actually walk on the outside of the building, the stairway is very steady and good to use. But if you have a disability to walk or climb steep stairways, then this is not the place for you. For me it was never an issue, even if I had a knee operation just 9 months back! Thank you for making my stay so convenient and good! Best regards

Great hostel; some teething problems”
It's a very new hostel, so facilities are great. The staff was also extremely friendly and accommodating. However, there were some minor teething problems such as faulty door locks and choked toilets. Do note that it's located nearby a pub. Things could get loud in the night. It's still great though. Give it a while and they'll do fine.

Very basic place.”
This is a super basic hostel. I stayed in the private double bed room.. it's just like the photos. A mattress on the floor is all you get.. the shower and toilet is Malaysian style ( they are both in the same 1.5x1.5m square space ).. the bathroom drain was blocked and filled the whole bathroom with dirty water. And there was only 1 bathroom on each floor. So if you needed to use the toilet while someone else was in the shower. You had to wait a long time.and you would have to walk through and stand in dirty water on the floor from the person who showered before you.. like other people have said. The stairs outside are very steep. To get to the rooms you have to climb the fire stairs on the outside of the building. That's why there so steep. And if it's raining ( which is is a lot ) you will get wet.. the wifi didn't work for the 4 days I was there. ( get Internet from the shop before you come ) and there was a lot of construction mess left laying around.. it looked like someone had dropped baking flour all over the floor and that was then walked all over the hostel and not swept or cleaned up for 2 days.. cleaning wasn't there strong point.. they however were very nice people working in the hostel. Just a little shy.. I probably wouldn't stay here again as I thought it was super over priced and I found other hotels and hostels near by for much better value..

Comfortable & unique designed common area.”
Staff are friendly and willing to help. Walking distance to Gaya Street is acceptable (500m). Hostel provided laundry service at reasonable price. Stayed 2 nights yet towels are not allowed to change as towels only provided once according to per registration. WIFI connection is very unstable, only connectable at common area.
