Sabah Tea Garden

At the foothills of Kinabalu

Reviewed By Lunarboogie

I stayed in a private bungalow for 2 nights. They're aging but still comfortable and I had no complaints. The real selling point is the tea plantation and view of the escarpment. Simply stunning sunrises and even more spectacular sunsets. I felt like a British colonialist, minus the pith helmet and convoy of elephants. The food at the restaurant was standard fare and won't win any prizes but nor will it leave you hungry either. Keep an eye out for amazing insect life too. I saw some of the biggest bugs and mantises you're likely to ever come across. Welcome to the jungle!

RTMS Guesthouse Semporna

Best accommodation in Semporna

Reviewed By Carolina M

We spent almost a week in this guesthouse a bit apart from the city, which is good (Semporna is not too nice). We got all the facilities with the owner who is extremely kind and helpful, including free rides to the city. We had booked 7 nights through booking.com but then, when we arranged two nights in a tour out of the guesthouse he discounted them, so in the end we just paid 5 nights to him. We also had access to the kitchen so we could cook our own meals. This is a place that we definitely reccommend.

The Loft Imago

Хорошее место для тех, кто любит тусовку

Reviewed By Marla8181

В общем, мы не любители таких, мест, но пошли друзьям на встречу и не пожалели. Снимали апартаменты в лофте D.На неделю 130 квадратов с тремя спальнями и двумя ванными комнатами нам обошлись 20 тысяч рублей. Внутри было всё, что нужно, включая стиральную машину. Аппартаменты находятся наверху крупного ТЦ, в котором есть всё:от брендовых бутиков до аптеки, первый этаж-супермаркет и зона фудукорта. На улице масса ресторанов, включая ресторан с ежевечерней живой музыкой.На 6 этаже 2 бассейна, в которых почти никого нет и тренажёрный зал.На пляж, конечно, только на такси. Пляж неплохой, песчаный вход без камней (7-8 минут езды), чистое море.Лучше выбирать Танжунг 2, днём он почти безлюден.Но вся эпопея с переодеваниями занимает много времени.Цены и в самом Имаго и на променаде возле Мариотта, конечно же туристические. В целом, как опыт, нам понравилось.

Expo Hotel

Extremely small and claustrophobic

Reviewed By VarunPo

The hotel is situated in city centre, the staff is really welcoming, helpful, friendly, and welcoming. However, the only (major) downside is that the rooms are extremely tiny and claustrophobic. I'm happy that I stayed there only for one night. Compared to most other places in Malaysia, the cost was much higher even when booked online at a cheaper rate supposedly. Hotels in other places throughout Malaysia would be about 30% cheaper. The room and bathroom were clean, had a window and all other basic amenities. I'd definitely recommend this hotel IF the rooms could be bigger and the rate could be reduced. Note: They do not offer breakfast since they don't have an in-house restaurant. You'll find plenty of eateries nearby so nothing to worry. I am a vegetarian and I found decent vegetarian food (thosai/dosai/dosa) at Barakath restaurant which is hardly 100 meters away from this hotel.

Happy Garden Resort

Ideal stop off for Mount Kinabalu National Park

Reviewed By AlfieG13

It is quite a drop down from the main road into the car park and a good test of your driving skills to get back out again. We checked in at 5pm and had booked a double bed, but were given a room with two singles, when asked about getting a room with a double bed they were very obliging, but we turned it down when we realised the view of the valley below was amazing from the first option. Rooms were basic but appeared to have everything that we needed. After a long day of travelling all we wanted was a beer, food and a shower. 1. The restaurant was open on arrival and we enjoyed a beer. 2. The water wasn't working and stayed off until about 10pm that night, problem with the pump. 3. When we went back to the bar after being unable to shower, it was closed. One of the staff had become unwell and there was noone to run it. Overall not the best and we can't review anything fairly. We went for a drive and found a Restaurant further up the road, Positives. Nice beds Great views Serves beer in the restaurant Close to the National park, 1km away Showers were great when working Negative, the piped music gets a bit monotanous. Can't comment on the food, but the menu looked basic.
