The weather is very cold but the blanket is too thin and the shower water is not hot enough. The room space is good for family more than 6 people.

The lodge located uphill a steep and narrow road. There was no network connection. Basic necessity such as TV, electric kettle, water heater and hair dryer provided. Place was clean. The place was cold at night and lots of insects outside. Staff is nice and helpful.

This place is back to nature. Flowers, jungle tracking. But you rent a good car if you want to rent at this place. It’s at a hill top. Car will lower power can’t go up. At least vois or Honda cars. Nice place to stay.

Aiman who owns the place and its staff were so Nice !!
Only 15minutes by walk from the Kinabalu parc! But the first Town is at 10minutes away by car! You should take food and beverages before coming!
Bécasse the lodges are a little paradise in the middle of the jungle mountain!
Very wild !

I arrive around evening on 22 November 2017 to check in..The road to the hotel very scary and I just could not make it by car considering the safety of my family..However, I Park quite a distance and escalate the steep road heading to the hotel. Once I reach there, there is no one around and I could not see person in the reception and even after half an hour walking around to find receptionist, I could not find any..I then get down and heading to Puncak Borneo to check in another resort and i was made understand, there is no water for that day and Puncak Borneo just closed the operation for that particular day..I the heading to KK City to check in at Gaya Hotel in town..I am looking forward to get back my money which i have paid in advance online..

The chalet was huge with 2 stories. Room was clean and quiet. It was surrounded by virgin jungle and I love the surrounding very much. Very Cold weather and this is why I'm here for. Improvement on bath towels and blanket could have make our stay a lot more better.
Bath towels seem to be new but it was a very Low quality. One touch, we can see fabric was dropping. After using it, it stick on our body and make us uncomfortable. Likewise for the blanket as well. Would encourage to change for the good of all future visitors. Those with sensitive skin and nose will find it very difficult to accept this two items. Would appreciate the owner can look into that.

Nice and a cozy place to stay especially for families. Room condition is marvelous. Facilities all and all is in good hand. Perfect overlooking the respectful Mount Kinabalu early dawn.Nice place to bring your families during weekend. Beautiful scenery and the weather is so refreshing during morning & night time. ONLY people whom admires the nature can benefit this mother nature place. Please bring along some food and drinks before staying here since there's no food to be served.

If you love nature you will definitely love this place. Superb view of rain forest and a nice place to chill with your family or friends. The staff were friendly and helpful. In fact, the owner personally greeted us and help us with our luggage on our arrival.
