You can see that there was alot of effort put in the interieur (tiles, lighting, light switches, furniture etc). It was clean and comfy. The shower and bathroom were great. I felt like staying in a very expensive hotel but at a low price :-) The staff was very helpful. The communication via whatsapp was excellent!

Almost everything. The place is beautiful, clean, and new. The staff was nice, smiling and seemed to enjoy working there. They were doing karaoke with the guests in the evening... Looks like a good atmosphere. The rooms were clean. The view from the room is amazing. It's a quiet place beside a few boats in the morning. The lunch and dinner were good, seemed homemade and fresh. The shared and open area is very nice, with a slide to the water and a net to rest above the water. A bit pricey but I really recommend it.

This Homestay is so peaceful, the river is the most magical river I have ever swam in. The hosts go above and beyond for guests. This place is out of the busy city and instead in a remote suburb. The perfect place for peace and serenity. I recommend hiring a scooter from KK as it is far out of town. I especially liked that we could buy fresh produce and cook the food ourself at the homestay with utilities provided by the host. 10/10 recommend and will 100% be back.

Everything was excellent! The spacious 1 bedroom suite was amazing with steam shower and whirlpool bath. We had balcony facing swimming pool and the beach. Very quiet place with not so many people around...you can have the beach just for yourself most of the day. Cleaning every day. Staff very helpfull..organized for us car rental, airport transfer and trips. The place is a bit remote (restaurants are in the Nexus hotel nearby-free transfer) or you can walk along the beach. I loved that we got a pocket wifi..so we could stay connected everywhere.

It is an exotic city, offer many experience, it was nice to have the blend of a city but yet you can watch the fishing boats coming back to shore from their catch and visitors taking speed boats to island opposite KK, if you unit is sea facing, you can see this at your balcony while sipping away coffee,teas, fruit juice or even beers

Kundasang is truly a gem in Sabah!

Kundasang is truly a gem in Sabah! Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and cool, refreshing air, it’s the perfect destination for a peaceful getaway with family. The scenic drive up is already a treat, and once you arrive, the lush greenery and serene atmosphere make it feel like a world away from the city. We enjoyed exploring local attractions like the Desa Dairy Farm, the Alpaca Club, the vegetable markets, and the beautiful gardens. The area is also rich in culture and history, with nearby memorial sites and traditional food experiences. One of the highlights was staying at a cozy homestay near Selera Kebun, where we got to enjoy authentic dishes like nasi linopot and gulai lemak cili padi rusa salai—a must-try for food lovers! Whether you're looking to relax, reconnect with nature, or enjoy local flavors, Kundasang offers a memorable experience for all ages.

The old town looks old and worn. Needs a coat of paint and touch up. Too many old and abandoned buildings but oh well, it’s the entrance town to get to the Kinabatangan for wildlife spotting and Sepilok for the Orang Utan and sun bears.

Beautiful and great place to experience. Enjoy the whole trip. We plan to return fit & strong to trek Mount Kinabalu. Don't miss out. Great place for a family holiday. Don't have to travel to Europe to gain such a fascinating view, Only be mindful, a lot of uphill if u wanna walk around. Great place for retirement if u love trekking n love nature. Love the attitude of road users. No horn

From what we saw, pretty much the only reason to stay in Lahad Datu is to catch a plane. We were there about 24 hours which was plenty. The airport is one of the smallest I have ever been to and was hot and crowded, but the plane was on time and got us to Kota Kinabalu.

I wouldn't choose to stay in Keningau again.

I wouldn't choose to stay in Keningau again. It is a fairly grim place, noisy and with little to recommend it. I drove through Tambunan earlier on my trip which seemed like a much nicer place (although I didn't stay due to the lack of accommodation). The road through the Crocker range was good and worth a visit, but don't expect too much of Keningau itself.

There is no other place like Tanjung Aru Beach in Kota Kinabalu when you want to observe sunset. It is iconic (but you need to disregard hundreds of people who want to enjoy the same :-). You can buy beautiful pearls in this town. You can visit Mari Mari cultural village from this town. It exceeded our expactations.
