Perfect stay in Mt Kinabalu
Perfect stay in Mt Kinabalu. The house we stayed is cosy and very convenient for visiting the Mt Kinabalu Park as it’s situated inside the park. There is heater in the house which makes is super great in the rainy cold days in the mountain. Facilities are great. There is movie channel for visitors to enjoy !

Great place to stay
Great place to stay at, within Mt Kinabalu Park. Excellent services and friendly staff. Great place to stay at if you like trekking. Good food and a nice fireplace to keep warm during cold evenings.

Lovely place to visit and relax. The bathrooms of the hill lodges require refurbishment they are outdated and had bad smell.

The property is within the Kinabalu National Park, so it is surrounded by the flora and fauna of the rainforest, which is so dense and delightful. The hiking trails are nearby and even walking up to the first checkpoint is very convenient. I loved my time there lots as an escape from the city life.

The staff at the reception and Liwagu restaurant is attentive and courteous. KKNP is a great place to experience nature walks. The paved roads are maintained and clean. However the room & furniture is aged and requires maintenance. While the air quality in the open is refreshing and cooling, the room is stuffy. A fan to circulate the spacious room would help. The property certainly needs upgrading.
Great stay. Great people. The bathroom needs to be upgraded. Otherwise, very nice. great breakfast.

Very peaceful stay, some of the facilities could use an upgrade and the restaurant is a bit average taste wise, but overall if you love nature you will love it here.

Value for money
I stayed at Peak Lodge. The view is beautiful. However , the lodge is a little dated and deserves a refurbishment .overall, it's comfortable without much hassle
Staff are very friendly and responsibke .I left so personal belongings behind and Azlan managed to deliver it to KK city to my friend.
Thank you

so disappointing
it remain the best option in Kundasang but every time maintenance and services are getting worst...
this time, in one of the best villas they have, paid RM 800 for one night stay, not enough hot water for all guests to have a shower.
My bed blanket had a big stain on one side.
Restaurant is becoming ridiculously bad...
overpriced, specially at breakfast time, doesn’t offer enough options and quality of food for the level of the Sutera resort.....
RM 28 for french toasts that are just 2 slices of bread, 3 very small slices of banana (1/6 of a normal banana fruit), and and a spoon of honey!!??
I still recommend the place for a stay mostly because there are no better options but avoid the restaurant at all

Grundsätzlich für einen Nationalpark absolut ok, jedoch hat es mich überhaupt mitgerissen. Wir hatten das Rock Hostel, eben die günstige Variante, die soweit ok war. Sehr einfach, aber alles in Ordnung. Essen gibt es von 6-11, 12-16 und 18-22 in Buffet Form. Personal ist sehr aufgesetzt nett, aber hatte nicht so wirklich Ahnung bzw. hatte kein großes Interesse dem Gast entgegenzukommen. Die Trails sind ganz gut, wobei die Beschilderung hier und da besser sein könnte. Ist gefühlt alles nur für Leute ausgelegt, die den Gipel besteigen wollen.

Excellent Service
Friendly people and always pleasing. We were upgrade as we wanted a twin bed rather than a queen size bed. I would definitely make a return trip

Bed very comfortable, thank you. But why bother to provide packets of coffee and tea set when there is no Kettle provided.
