📍 Poring Hot Springs & Nature Reserve, Kinabalu National Park, Ranau

Perkasa Hotel Mt Kinabalu
8.9 (219 reviews)

Perkasa Hotel Mt Kinabalu ★★

📍 Perkasa Hotel Mt. Kinabalu, Kundasang

"Our rooms were Chalet style at the forested area. It was fun as we had to use a bridge to cross over to our rooms. The shower is good, hot water was very hot. But not very stable. No aircon but have fan as its cold at night. I don't recommend chalet if you have walking difficulties. Better stay at the hotel side. The chalets do not have a room phone and it may be a little challenging if you need help at anytime. I have feedback to Vera and Dav at Front Desk regarding the experience of some noise in my chalet at 3/4 am for an hour. Likely by wild animals. We could see Mt Kinabalu from our balcony."

Kundasang Mount Garden
8.0 (144 reviews)

Kundasang Mount Garden ★★

📍 1, Kinoundusan, Ranau, Kundasang

"Great location and affordable price. There is no air conditioning in the room, only a fan, but since it's cold in the mountains, you don't really need AC anyway. However, the hot water in the bathroom didn't work well, and the sink was extremely dirty."

H Benjamin Residence
8.3 (172 reviews)

H Benjamin Residence ★★

📍 D17 Mount Kinabalu Golf Club, Kundasang

"The view in this stay is great. However, it will be better if the arrangement for room under the same booking arrange as connecting room instead of with someone else. My experience was due to the room was connecting room and the family who stayed besides with infant and kid, it resulting very noisy along the whole night. Really can’t sleep due to the crying sound and the parents keep shouting. Hopefully the arrangement can be better in future."

AYANA Holiday Resort Hotels in Ranau

AYANA Holiday Resort

"We chose Ayana Holiday Resort for its unbeatable location close to Kinabalu Park and it turned out to be the best decision! 🤩 After a long day on the trails, resting and recovering on soft, comfortable bed 🛏️ was pure bliss. The resort is surrounded by nature 🌱, and waking up to birdsong 🐦 in the cool mountain air made the experience even more special. Perfect for adventurers who want both excitement and peaceful rest. 💚✨"

Kundasang Guesthouse Hotels in Ranau

Kundasang Guesthouse

"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!"

Nabalu Kundasang Hotels in Ranau

Nabalu Kundasang

"The location is great, right by the road and easy to find. There are many farmers selling durians along the way. Breakfast offers a good selection of both Chinese and Western options. There's a small town nearby with restaurants, so you don't need to drive. For being in the middle of nowhere, this hotel is quite good. It's also not far from Maragang Hill."

Kinabalu Poring Vacation Lodge Hotels in Ranau

Kinabalu Poring Vacation Lodge

"The hosts were incredibly kind. They offered to order food for me or drive me to a restaurant. They even drove me to the bus stop in Ranau on my departure day. There's a kitchen where you can prepare your own meals and there's always hot water. However, it was a bit untidy and some of the dishes were dirty – but you can always wash them yourself 😉 The room was clean and equipped with ceiling fans. You can also comfortably sit outside on the large (covered) terrace in the evenings, enjoying the view of the garden. Kinabalu Park entrance is a 20-minute walk away."

Spring Garden Kundasang Hotels in Ranau

Spring Garden Kundasang

"The room was exactly as shown in the photos uploaded by Spring Garden. It was clean, comfortable, and very quiet at night, allowing us to have a great night's sleep. The surroundings were beautiful and filled with greenery, and we were able to enjoy a stunning view of Mt. Kinabalu right from our room early in the morning. Mr. Lee has been very helpful throughout our stay and we truly appreciate that. Breakfast was simple but sufficient, and it was served at H Benjamin Residence, another accommodation located about a 5-minute drive away. The only downside was the condition of the road leading to Spring Garden, as well as the path from the parking area to our room. We had to walk across uneven grassy ground, which could be challenging, especially for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. If possible, it would be great if a concrete walkway could be built to provide easier and safer access to the rooms."

Perkasa Hotel Mt Kinabalu ★★
"Location is unmatched, the views of the mountain alone is worth it. The chalets are pretty basic however, hot water shower tap was working in reverse. Blue is hot and Red is cold. We got a chalet close to the bridge otherwise it would’ve been a workout getting bags to and from."

Kundasang Mount Garden ★★
"Nice place.. February is very cold month in Kundasang. I love the vibes of this property. Room are moderate. I think they should change the blanket and pillow 😂😂 The bankets are unsuitable for cold season. Washroom is quite small and water pressure is very low. But you'll find your peace staying here✌️✌️"

Mile 36 Lodge ★★★
"2 hour drive from airport. Very close drive to the Kinabalu national park or about a 20 minute walk. Room is simple, rustic but clean. Beautiful surrounding and view from the room. Bed was comfortable. Perfect if you just want a good place to rest after spending the day in nature. There’s a cafe/lunch spot about 15 minutes away by foot."

Celyn Resort Kinabalu ★★★
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would like to start my review by complimenting all the staff ,from the receptionist, kitchen staff, to the housekeeping team. All of them truly deserve a 5-star award for their excellent service. The receptionist, Ms. Liza (if I’m not mistaken), was very kind and welcoming. I arrived at the resort around 2:00 PM without making any prior reservation, yet she patiently showed me every type of room the resort offers. After viewing all the room options, I made my decision, and the check-in process was smooth and easy with clear explanations given. The room was quite spacious, and an additional bed could be added with a small extra charge. Whenever I needed anything, I just had to make a call, and the staff responded quickly and efficiently. My stay included breakfast, and the food provided was good. For dinner, the restaurant also offers a variety of dishes, which is very convenient as guests don’t need to drive out to look for food. That said, I do have a few suggestions for improvement to make the stay even better. The beds could be upgraded, as they felt a bit old and not very comfortable. The Wi-Fi coverage also needs improvement, especially since the CelcomDigi network coverage in the area is quite weak. In addition, the television system could be upgraded. While the resort offers beautiful scenery to enjoy, sometimes the weather doesn’t allow guests to go outside, so having better in-room entertainment would be appreciated. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and truly appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality , I hope to visit again in the future."
