The room we stayed with back balcony: mountain view & garden view and front wooden patio was clean, bed & pillows were comfortable enough. Filtered drinking water, both hot & cold were readily available. Hot water for shower was also readily available. Rooms were tidied up daily too. Convenience store is also available. Surrounding areas, and sitting shelters were also kept clean. Yes, when there is no mist, Mt Kinabalu can be seen clearly from balcony !Beautiful view!

Understand that we cannot expect a wide spread of food for breakfast but hopefully, lodge can improve quality of food. Just eggs, hardboiled or fried made available; either fried rice OR noodle(no need both), include sausage, etc. All can be in small quantity.. am sure guests will be reasonable in the quantity taken. Maybe Breakfast staff on duty is stressed but can be more friendly ...

The Union room is quite spacious and very clean, the bathroom is clean as well, the location is near the town, the staffs are helpful

The water heater is not working, had to boil water for bath. The floor is not flat, quite concern if the footing is not right, though we know it is on a hill slope. The Lodge kitchen is not clean, very concern about cleanliness and health, not sure if the food is halal-certified.

We had a private room which had an amazing view of the mountain. There was plenty of luggage space and area to sprawl our things out which is nice when you're preparing to hike. The shower was also nice and large.

The rails on the balcony were a bit unsafe. The gap between the floor and the lowest rail was a bit too high for our toddler to be walking on the balcony. Minor detail that would only affect us. Although the property is only 1.6km from Kinabalu Park, we couldn't walk it because there was no footpath/walk way. You'd be walking on the verge or behind the guardrail along the highway. We had to take a taxi which was 25RM each way.

The place is close to the mountain, though not within walking distance, less than 4min by driving. The toilet is inside the room, there is no hot water from heater (normal in the kundasang area, i guess the water is too cold to be heated up). There was kettle in the room and I ended up boiled the water for showering. The staff was friendly, I borrowed hair dryer from the receptionist and the counter also helped me to print my self-check in confirmation letter for mountain climbing.

I stayed at the ground floor and I could hear the movement and snoring from upstairs, didn't get good sleep at night. The door cannot be closed completely as it seems to not to be levelled. Do bring long sleeves as it could be quite cold at night.

Wow what a location. Amazing view of Kinabalu at sunset and sunrise. I thought we’d have a view over Sabah but it was even better out to the peak. Very friendly staff. Good dinner and breakfast too. Perfect stop before our ascent of the peak the next day.

Thin walls, so potentially bring earplugs just in case.

The staff was very friendly. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable, I had a good rest.

I was expecting to have a warm shower, but the water was cold for ever.

Clean and spacious room. We got rooms with beautiful view facing Mt Kinabalu. Check-in process was also easy. We arrived quite late, around 8PM. Their office already closed but there was a security guard waiting for us and helped us with check-in process.

Staffs friendly, room and toilet clean and neat.

Nosiy at night dogs barking. If can extend the shelter outside to put the drying rack outside to hang wet clothes for drying and not wet by the frequent rain.
