Not Worth the Money

Reviewed By MazliAMC

We revisited the property because of the location just a week apart. First time the price was rm100, then a week after that rm135 including breakfast. They do not have option to exclude the breakfast. When I inquired about the breakfast, the front desk showed me their menu with wide range of breakfast but the next morning, we were given a coupon to tick one of 5 choices, 2 of which were not available. Choices were bad, food was bad, all in all - rm35 breakfast for 2 was not worth it. You could find a better tasting options in the town which is just a walking distance. They will ask for deposit. First time, the deposit was rm50, then they increased it to rm100 a week later. So, I am not sure how long this review will stand correct when it comes to the amount of deposit they actually required. Telephone was not working (which they change for us), TV was not working (which they couldn't do much because they haven't applied for Astro), room slightly dusty, flooring makes sound when you walk, so you might need to tiptoe if someone is sleeping, the garden table at the balcony could be hazardous simply because they failed to adhere to the law of physics, and when you thought it couldn't go worse, the next day we had a very noisy guests with kids running and shouting as early as 6am in the morning. Apart of the location, I don't think I would rate this property as good value for the money.

Bayu Senja Lodge

Place With A View

Reviewed By jessism3

All the rooms at Bayu Senja opens up to a beautiful view of the valley. We stayed at the upper floor, which gave an even better view. On the night of a clear sky, you can even see stars. Although the room is not equipped with an air condition, the cool and fresh mountain air is enough to do the trick. The place is definitely peaceful and quiet, as the nearest restaurant is a 5-10 mins drive away. The roads are quite narrow and dark, so to walk out for food in the dead of night would be quite dangerous. The place is slightly out of the way and if you are driving at night, you might miss the turn off as there are not clear lid signage to indicate the location. The shared kitchen could be better maintained but I guess, it could be the guest(s) who did not picked up after themselves. Another note is that the hot shower, aren't exactly hot and not even close to warm, probably because the water is so cold that the heater is unable to heat the water up properly.

Rocky Mountain Lodge

One of my worst ever hotel experiences

Reviewed By John E

My wife and I viewed online before booking and from the photos it looked like a good enough place for one night. After checking in we were horrified and my wife wanted to abandon our booking and find somewhere, anywhere else. At the last minute we couldn’t find anything else so put up with the following: The door stuck upon opening. It had a plank of wood attached from presumably being forced or previously broken. The room smelled musty The floor was filthy. We opted to wear out outdoor shoes when moving around The bedding had stains and felt damp (not cold as is expected in Kundasang - I’m from Scotland and know the difference between damp and cold). It also smelled musty. The leatherette headboard was covered in stains and was filthy. I dampened a tissue and wipes to show how bad it was. The walls were badly plastered and painted with wall paint over the skirting boards. The walls had numerous large stains. The towels were stained and very worn. Holes in them and I’ve had thicker napkins. The balcony door glass had not been cleaned in a long time. It was in any case covered in A4 paper setting out various “rules”. There were numerous dead bugs behind the papers. When my wife opened the balcony doors, the bug screen fell out onto the balcony. The balcony door didn’t lock (we were ground floor) The two “chairs” were out on the balcony and were old plastic patio chairs which had degraded so much to be brittle. One was already snapped. The “room slippers” were from different pairs and were disgusting. The bathroom ventilation seemed to be via the numerous holes in the ceiling. The shower riser rail fell off the wall when I tried to adjust it. The bathroom tap was loose so moved in its mount when we tried to use it. We didn’t dare use the water kettle I’m sure there were other issues I’ve forgotten but from the above, I can state that out of the hundreds of hotels, hostels and camping sites I’ve stayed at, this place is in my worst five.

Amazing View

Reviewed By Andrea S

Amazing Grace Booked this for one night to break up our journey from Sandakan to Kota Kinabalu. Jerry is a lovely gentleman and we enjoyed sitting and chatting to him about almost anything and everything. We were unsure whether to book a room at first because there is no air con but believe me you really do not need it in the mountains at night, if anything you need a heater. I put socks on and a t-shirt to sleep in, that's a novelty in Borneo. Jerrys place is very tranquil with little ponds full of fish and frogs and beautiful orchids and other flowers surrounding it. It's piece de resistance is its amazing view over the mountains...stunning. The rooms are very basic but clean and reasonably comfortable but you're not there to sit in your room only to sleep in it. Not sure if breakfast is included however Jerrys son boiled some eggs for us which was nice. You are able to use the washing machine and dryer if you're in a hurry for your clothes. The room has a kettle, wifi and private shower room with toilet/sink. No TV or hair dryer in our room which wasn't a problem for us. We had a little difficulty finding it. It's quite a way up a very steep hill, the sign is quite small so keep a good look out on your left hand side going up the hill. If you can't find it ask at the police station, we did that and they put us in the right direction. Just to note the accommodation is being extended but this did not impact on our one night stay.

Great location

Reviewed By Nancy G

Stayed here for two nights. Close to Desa Cattle farm, Kinabalu park and not too far to visit Poring Hot Spring and Sabah Tea Gardens in Ranau. View of kundasang and valley is beautiful and lovely view of the peak of Mt.Kinabalu. Room was clean and comfortable bed. Shower water pressure was low when water temperature turned high. The house is a Kampungstay homestay so you will hear noises from next room. It was a good experience.
