Think twice before staying here if you are climbing Kinabalu. We booked the "Japanese" room at Kinabalu Mountain Lodge following climbing Mount Kinabalu and soon discoveed it was a terrible mistake. Extremely tired from climbing Kinabalu, all we wanted was a hot shower and a chance to rest our legs. we had to haul our luggage up two flights of... More

Me and my hubby were accidently booked this place because it was a peak season and we decided quite late to go to Kundasang...we booked through online (agoda).our impression we tought the staff were friendly,the room was spacious (for rm120 u can get 2 queen bed in a room,which is pretty cheap)..the living rooms is cozy and the surrounding area...

First of all, the reviewer below is correct. This is 'Kinabalu Mountain Lodge' and it's situated about 2 km OUTSIDE the park. This is NOT 'Mountain Lodge', situated INSIDE the park. Some of the reviews below correspond to the wrong place. Now about the hotel. It's an isolated, nice looking, wooden chalet with a beautiful location on the flank of... More

I really enjoyed staying here and visiting the park. I have read the other reviews and would first like to comment on some of them. A few of the reviews must be the wrong place. The lodge is not on the side of the road, I saw just one main building with a second that may of been a dorm... More

We caught a local minibus from Kota Kinabalu and got off at the 1km mark to the Lodge. The walk to the lodge was ok, a little slippery in the rain. If you are planning on hiking the mountain, the walk is easy peasy. The staff were a little hit-or-miss - sometimes friendly, sometimes not. The food was vegetarian and... More

True, it can be a bit noisy, but everyone goes to sleep pretty early. We checked out 2 other similarly priced places and they didn't even compare to this place. It was clean, had delicious food, beautiful balcony, and a nice vibe. The other places felt cheap and rundown in comparison. And yes, it is a bit of a hike... More

I stayed here for only a night and wasn't too over-whelmed by the place. The outside and surrounding is quite nice and peaceful, however, the interior is average and the rooms were a bit cold and humid with paper-thin walls. I can hear everything going on next door and upstairs. The hot water gets shut off at 8pm so you'd... More

We stayed here for one night in March and overall liked this hostel. It is about 2km from the entrance to Kinabalu National Park and is quite a nice walk if it's not raining. If you are catching a shared taxi be warned though - you will be dropped off at the dirt road leading to the hostel which is... More

Some sites posted that this lodge is 1km away from the park, some are 2kms. It's a lie! Its not definitely 1km or 2km from the park.. Its like 4kms. From the main road to the park its 2km, from the main road to the lodge it takes another 2kms. You will spend more getting a cab going inside, it... More
