The 3-room villa was spacious, kitchen well equipped with crockeries and utensils, all bedrooms with attached toilets, natural surrounding with many birds, all bedrooms with twin beds & proximity to the main entrance of Kinabalu National Park.

Limited parking space, steep slope to go down to the parking and get out of the parking lot, slow water pressure for the shower, no ceiling in the living hall & dining hall, so quite cold at night & poor Wi-Fi signal (can be improved).

Providing it's a resort for nature lovers, all in all it was a good experience. Actually it was better than we thought as it was cleaner in the room and there was decent warm water in the shower, so, providing you're staying in the mountains walking distance from the national park Kinabalu, it was incredible. As a bonus, there's very good and reasonably priced restaurant nearby. The territory is clean and pleasant. Providing it's very humid and a little chilly in the area it's helpful that for additional fee you can rent an additional blanket.

The walls are very thin, so if you're unlucky your neighbors will irritate you with noise. But usually it's not the case as most people there are hikers, and they go to bed pretty early. It's quite humid and cold in the room, but I can hardly see what you can do to fix it and still be "close to nature"

the bed very comfortable!! The View and the room are very clean!!

i think there is one staff that sit at the table. Male one. Quite arrogant. Did not want to see my face and slow response. The practical better than the senior one. when i call the number always did not pickup. Also slow in response in Whatsapps. Need to improve on that.

Feels like in the middle of nature. The rooms were spacious (enough), private and comfortable. Many friendly cats on the property.

The shared kitchen only contains a tab, sink and firepit. There are no utensils. Hard to find a ride to Kundasang (or other public transportation), so without an own car it is hard to get around (nearly impossible). Limited amount of restaurants nearby.

- Great location next to many restaurants and super close to the park entrance! - Really peaceful environment with great views - Large light filled room

Outdoor bathroom had low water pressure and didn’t get fully hot (lukewarm the first day, warm the second day). Also there were two large spiders with bodies the size of my pinky fingers just outside the bathroom. But maybe they kept bugs away since we actually didn’t see many bugs in the bathroom 🤷🏻‍♀️

Beautiful wooden cottages in the middle of hills, lot of flowers around, walking distance (around 400 m) from Kinabalu Park main entrance.

No public transport. Drivers are expensive. If you are unlucky like we were you will not sleep good. Our neighbours in the same cottage had children running around the room early in the morning and late in the evening. It's wooden cottage, you hear every step of your neighbour!! It could be really nice and calm stay without people like these.

The staff are very friendly and prompt to help. Once my friend was taking a shower and the water immediately ran out (he is covered with bubble), we called for help via whatsapp, and they just come almost immediatly. Thought the problems shouldnt have happened, but they are always really to help when there is problem. We stayed a night before and after climbing Kinabalu mountain. The location is superb, walkable distance to the Kinabalu park headquarter.

-The shower head always came out when we turn on the water for shower. Should be fixed. - The cats are little noisy and tried to get into your room via the balcony.

Very close to Kinabalu Park. Bathroom is provided for each room in the villa.

You can’t see Mt Kinabalu from the property itself although the hillside view is still stunning though. Water pressure is a bit slow though and there is no wardrobe or clothes rack in the room.

This place is a real gem, located in the jungle with an amazing view across the valley from our room. Very simple, without air conditioning, but the temperature is very cool here even in the day. It is about 5 minutes walking to the entrance for Mt. Kinabalu Park, and there are two restaurants also within this distance. It is feasible to get here and leave again by bus, just use the park entrance as a location to get off the bus or flag one down. Would book here again.
