Mountain View Hotels in Ranau

A lovely and a quiet place to enjoy the cool weather and amazing unobstructed Mt Kinabalu view from our room. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast in the glass house next to the bungalow in the compound of the beautiful garden. Would love to come back again.

Stayed at the hotel and really enjoyed the breathtaking view and beautiful garden. The surroundings were peaceful and relaxing. However, the walkway from the car park to the hotel room was quite slippery, so it would be great if this could be improved for guests’ safety. I also hope the café can offer a wider variety of food choices and extend its operating hours for guests’ convenience.

This hotel is spread out within Kinabalu Park. Transfers are provided to reach the accommodations (and they also handle luggage transport, as there can be some elevation changes). We stayed in a Nepenthes suite, which was a new build, excellently furnished, clean, and spacious, with a large window and a balcony overlooking the lush vegetation. They don't provide bottled water, but the room has a kitchenette area (with a fridge, kettle, and sink) with a filtered water tap. Toiletries provided include shampoo, shower gel, soap, razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairdryer, and an iron with an ironing board. The Sutera chain restaurant offers modest quality, with an à la carte menu for lunch and dinner, and a buffet (with a variety of sweet and savory Asian and international options) for breakfast. The atmosphere is magical in the evening and morning, offering infinite peace and privileged access to the park's trails.

It was an awesome experience staying at Spring Garden. The host, Mr Lee, went all out to ensure our stay was comfortable. When it rained, he brought umbrellas and placed outside our house. He helped carried our luggage to and from our car, right to our doorstep. When we were tired and didn't wish to drive out for dinner, he offered to pack food for us and suggested a few places for us to consider. We couldn't have asked for a better host and are very grateful for his warm hospitality. The house is very clean, mountain air fresh and the surroundings just so beautiful. Driving around Kundasang area, am so thankful we selected Spring Garden Kundasang for our stay. Some of the accommodation we saw were quite rundown, surroundings were noisy and parking was difficult. Spring Garden Kundasang offered a restful respite away from the hustle and bustle. We are so glad we made the right choice. Thank you once again, Mr Lee.

Wind Valley Farmstay offers a breathtaking, direct view of Mount Kinabalu that changes beautifully throughout the day. It is the perfect backdrop for their hotpot dinner, which is incredible during the cold nights. Know Before You Go: • Accommodations: This is a farmstay, not a luxury hotel. Facilities cover your basic needs; it isn’t dirty, but don't expect ”pristine” cleanliness. • Nature: Expect some seasonal flies from morning to noon—it’s unavoidable in this environment. If you value a world-class view and a cozy atmosphere over fancy amenities, this place is a 5-star experience!

Overall, a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Pros: Easy check-in, with a receptionist available. Great location, only about a 5-minute walk to Bataras Supermarket, with Uncle Bob and Aicha in the same row, making it very convenient for food and daily necessities. Although it is close to the supermarket and shops, the area was surprisingly quiet at night. No bad smells in the house or around the toilets. The view is pretty good and better than expected. I requested a ground-floor unit because we had an older guest with us, and they kindly arranged a ground-floor unit for us. Really appreciated this. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The floors and kitchen were clean. The kitchen utensils were also clean, which was a big plus. Many guesthouses have clean rooms but dirty kitchen utensils, so I really appreciated this. The place is spacious and suitable for a big group. Cons: The bidet spray/water pressure was a little too strong, and some of the pipes were leaking. One of the toilets became clogged on the second day. There is a small graveyard nearby, but personally, it was not an issue for us at all. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and felt comfortable throughout. The convenient location, cleanliness, helpful staff, and spacious layout made this a great choice, especially for a big group. We definitely would love to stay here again!

Firstly, the telephone number to the outlet is + 6 012 869 6969 as shown on a signage at the entrance to the outlet; the number advertised on this platform is not helpful when I called two days ago to ask about my booking. Secondly, the road from the entrance down to the parking bays is steep requiring experience and skillful drivers especially when their vehicles are loaded with passengers or baggage. Thirdly, the wash basin faucet in the bathroom of my room is loose, the shower head hose is inflexible, and the water pressure is below average.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay and a very pleasant experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The location was convenient, and the facilities met all my expectations. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, and I felt welcomed throughout my stay. Everything was well organized, making the trip enjoyable and stress-free. I would definitely recommend this property to other travellers and look forward to staying here again in the future. Thank you for the excellent hospitality!

Extremely satisfied! The room was spacious with plenty of beds. I requested a room with a balcony and a view of Mount Kinabalu, and luckily they were able to accommodate me (as one was available). You can relax at the cafe and enjoy the Mount Kinabalu view in the early morning. I would definitely repeat my stay next time.

Room floor is dirty (has hair and some still water near the sliding door, had to request for mop to wipe dry), understandable the room will be quite mouldy as the environment is very humid, no slippers provided in room (floor is super cold when stepped on bare foot), the floor mat outside the toilet is quite “wet” and very uncomfortable to step on to dry off feet after shower, water heater is unstable. Spacious parking, less than 5 minutes drive to Sabah National Park HQ. If you’re only in Kundasang for a hike in Mount KK, recommend to stay for a night if you’re not too
