Family-friendly Hotels in Kundasang

We drove to Mount Kinabalu for 2 nights stay at the 1) Peak Lodge 1 & 2 , 2) Summit Lodge & 3) Garden Lodge. The accomodations are comfortable, niece ambience with fire place ,has slow or no wifi connection at all. Some improvement needed in Housekeeping cleaning. Shower room in Summit Lodge flooding as the floor trap was filled with dirt & hair. Shower room wall tiles are dirty. Awesome view of the Mount Kinabalu from our Lodges. Breakfast is at Liwagu Restaurant , it serves Asian Buffet. Dinner is Ala-Carte , food and service are good. For activities , around the Park , we make visit to the Botanical Garden and Poring Hot Spring and make a further drive down to Desa Dairy Farm at Kundasang. All in all it was a relaxing stay !!

I visited with my Family on the 8th of August. Took a twin room which has 2 queen sized beds. I arrived at the location at noon, feeling very stressed out because was having a bit of an argument with the family. My mother was having one of her fits when we arrived, saying she didn't like the place, I on the other hand, was wondering why I spent so much money on this place. I called the caretaker and he was quick to respond, good guy, we got to our room, still stressed out, and felt instantly that the room was sp****. I was immediately questioning my reasoning for booking this place. Fast forward an hour or so later, when everyone calmed down (mother included), we were immediately in a better mood. The landscaping of the place is really beautiful, and the view of mount kinabalu was very majestic. We left both the front and back door open and the winds were blowing through the room, keeping it cool, my mom and my sisters were all starting to enjoy the place, myself included. I started looking into the details of the rooms, the quality of the materials used to construct the villa was of the highest quality, toilet was made with marble, and everything else was simple but robust, and could tell that material choice was quite important. The landscaping was also quite nice. Beautiful garden. And it's just so private. To sum it all up here are the pros and cons of this place. Pros: 1. High quality material used to construct the rooms 2. Beautiful landscaping - very calming and great. 3. Very private 4. Friendly and quick team to reply 5. Nice toilet (best in Kundasang) Cons 1. Price a bit on the high side (but it's private and most probably the nicest hotel in kundasang, cant compare to established hotels in the city( 2. Lacks some finer details : instead of 3 in 1 coffee, put a Nespresso machine in every room with 4 to 6 capsules, that really makes a difference in terms of perceived quality. 3. Pillows could be better - sheets are alright and bed is alright - but I stayed in four seasons kl for 40 percent cheaper, so... A bit hard on that end 4. I appreciate the disposable tooth brush, soaps etc. But I think the soap would be better if it was in a bottle stuck to the shower wall where it can be refillable, perhaps they could use a branded soap and shampoo for that, and not put it in small bottles, but in refillable permanent bottles in the room. 5. Restaurant - it's not under them, they share it with the hotel about a 5 minutes drive away. It's not bad, but it's far from good. No alcohol in sight there, so better BYOD. Although pricing wise it's on the high side, and there are some things that they can improve on, I'd still go back there, as it's the only great and private stay in kundasang. Everywhere else is not up to spring gardens quality, for now....

Really love this pretty villa. Clean and fully equipped and has beautiful view of mount kinabalu

I loved my stay at this resort. Its location is fantastic! I was looking to disconnect and relax - and that’s precisely what I got! It is situated on top of a hill and it is completely surrounded by nature. The room was great! It had a TV, a nice bathroom and a big and comfortable bed. I loved the wet Mee Hoon with seafood at the restaurant. All in all, it’s an ideal place to relax, stay a bit away from the noise of the city and enjoy the lovely views of Mount Kinabalu and the surroundings. Many thanks to the staff for making this experience awesome!

We stayed here for a couple of nights and it is in a very quiet location with good views of the surrounding areas. It's a bit out of the way so might suit people who have their own transport although they do offer a shuttle service. In fact they were amazing with this, The manager dropped us off at Kinabalu Park and someone collected us later. They also took us into town a couple of times and picked us up. There is a kitchen area to store and prepare your own food but there is no restaurant or provided breakfast. The rooms were comfortable enough and I think it would be an amazing place for the meditation retreats once they start up again. Free Wi-Fi available all over. I'm giving this 4 stars mainly because of the wonderful helpful staff who couldn't do enough for us.

Pros 1. Spectacular View 2. Friendly receptionist. They also serve quick when you make a call 3.Clean bathroom and sheet Cons: 1. Some facilities at room not work such as lamp 2.The road to come this resort is very challenging the road is very very damage. Need to make sure that your car can handle it. Pick a right car. 3. Shower heater not so hot when you use it more than 15 minutes Overall my family and I are enjoy staying in this resort for 3 days 2 night. The weather at night is so cold and my parents room have a nicest view ever, the mount kinabalu when you open your eyes. It is a great experiance. If you are looking for a view didnt mind with all the cons above this resort might suitable for you. But if you would like perfect facilities room and etc didnt mind with view I advice totake another hotel for stay.

Nice place overlooking mount Kinabalu. The green view is just as far as the eye can see. Definitely return

Location is very nice. Near to Kundasang village. The hotel is recently renovated. The view from the room is amazing. There's a dinner buffet offered during our stay which is during Ramadan. They also cater Sahur or early breakfast. Parking also not a problem. Scenery around the hotel also very nice. Overall very recommended place to stay if you visit Kundasang.

Stayed in the Queen Room C with mountain view, literally waking up on bed looking at the majestic mountain in the morning. And resting on bed see it covered with clouds in the evening. Room : basic & clean, electric kettle, 2 water bottles & 2 mugs & 2 bath towels. Toilet : clean with good strong toilet cistern flushes. Shower : 1 big bottle shampoo & 1 big bottle body & 1 bottle hand wash. Samuel is very kind to watsapp tips on getting a good hot shower in the night. no meals catered but a leisure 20min walk down to market & town, KFC & coffee shops & Alliance Bank. Quiet & peaceful lodge with only nearby ducks cackling & roosters crowing. Highly recommended!
