Staff were lovely and helpful, setting was beautiful, and the accommodation was clean and comfortable! Location is slightly out of the way if you haven’t got a car, as walking on the side of the road is sketchy. But fantastic value for money - would recommend it to everyone on a budget :)

Wake up to a magnificent view of Mt Kinabalu just infront of our unit. They could improve on the water system. The unit we stayed has no hot water and the pressure was very low. I was freezing cold after a cold shower. Other than that we loved the place and enjoyed our stay.

Terrible

Old tin room, with nails on the walls. Bad flooring etc etc, all our allergies started living in this old place. I am surprised it is listed as a house, I understand a little bit of wild living but this was plainly bad as seen in picture. Luckily we could get it changed on the last day, but allergies continued with cat in the restaurant not helping. The reception was accommodating in facilitating the change, but frankly it should not be listed in hotels.com as a house/room option. The restaurant menu for breakfast or dinner is the same with no variation, it is good to skip it for now.

This is a sprawling set of several buildings and smaller cabins. We were in the Begonia building at the end which requires a short walk around one building and down two flights of stairs from the parking lot. The view of Mount Kinabalu from this far building is unobstructed and beautiful. The wifi is only available near the cafe and registration building. The breakfast is included and consisted of fried rice, noodles and white toast with sweet coconut spread. For drinks coffee and tea were available. The rooms are basic and clean same goes for the bathroom which had good water pressure and hot water. The windows are louvered so they don't keep the breeze out. The temperature went down to 16 or 17 degrees C. It was cool but manageable. We were in a ground suite and the footsteps from above of two little girls was quite noticeable. Overall a nice little gem as long as you are ok with a somewhat rustic style.

There were many ants.The condition is like an old kampung house. The DVD player wasnt working and had to get someone to exchange with another DVD player next door. Cats and dogs around the premise, caterwauling until we fed them.The worse part was the presence of something in the room with bunk beds. My son was able to see it and my hubby was disturbed by it.
