stayed here prior to our mt kinabalu climb and arranged by borneo calling. The room was pretty, spacious, clean and comfortable. We stayed at river lodge and omg the sound... read more of the river was awesome. Their hospitality, dinner and breakfast provided was superb. Nothing to complaint. It was an amazing stay indeed.

  After Mt. Kinabalu it was a very nice rest for 3 nights in River Lodge - the cabin was nearly to huge for 2 persons - there are 2 big... read more bedrooms + extra beds. There was a beautiful terrace and sunshine the hole week 🙂 + living room, kitchen, bathroom w outdoor shower. No hotel - just this cabin ´+ some others, not near together!
All rooms very clean, there was housekeeping every day, by 1-2 ladies. A short walk to the main road, with the choice of some ok restaurants, for all meals - very easy 🙂
it's not only the hot spring tubes - a lot more "fun" is waiting for you when staying in Poring ! - my favourite "the butterflies" 🙂

  My family and I bought a package with Sutera sanctuary for our Kinabalu summit hike. Its Rm8000++ for 3D2N for accommodation + 7 meals. Its noted that climbing fees is... read more not included and we pay directly to Sabah Parks. But what they didn't notice us was that there are alot of other miscellaneous fees that we need to bring cash for and we didn't bring the cash. Insurance fee at Rm70 per pax and not shown any insurance policy, mountain guide fee, transport fee from the Sutera office to Timpohon Gate and back, etc. We paid and additional few hundred bucks for all these and had to get cash from stranger and bank transfer it back to them. Its OK to pay but they should highlight what are the miscellaneous fees so we are prepared for it. Other than these, the accommodation is great and service by front desk is good.

  Awesome place to enjoy the mountain area of Sabah.
We stayed in the Garden lodge, a nicely designed villa with floor-to-ceiling windows and hard wood floors. Our bedroom was facing... read more Mount Kinabalu, with magnificent views.The open fireplace in the living room was the main highlight of our whole trip.
The restaurant is just a few minutes away and serves local international food. We loved the breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the jungle.

  I never thought I would say this but as expensive as it was in comparison with the surrounding accommodations in Kundasang they were probably the best experience. Imagine it was... read more cold enough for you to have a real wood fire in the fireplace. No kidding. This was not some electric fireplace. Real fire!!! This was the Summit Lodge we were staying in.

  We stayed a night at the Nepenthes Lodge after spending 3 days at Sutera's sister property at Manukan Island. It was an amazing change from hot to cool weather... read more in just two hours of easy driving. The lodge was newly renovated, very tastefully done, cosy and clearly a lot of thought went into it. A marvellous view of the majestic peak of Mount Kinabalu peeking through the trees from the nice balcony, appointed with two benches and a long table for a relaxing coffee while chilling with a book, binoculars and camera in hand to capture the birds. Amazing forest sounds of multitude of birds and other wildlife during morning and evening walks around the area. Service was wonderful. A very special mention for Shanty, who appeared at our door just after we checked in and made sure everything was perfect during our stay. Even walked with us for a while, telling us about some of the flora and fauna in the area as she is a trained naturalist as well. Food was also good at the Liwagu restaurant, matched with the really nice ambience, especially in the balcony area. We will be back with the family next time, and will stay longer!
