Best Kota Belud Hotels

"3 star hotel with great facilities. Shower is soo good, the hot water in room we stayed were just perfect. Room is so spacious. I got the room with Kinabalu Mountain View. So nice."

"*Honest Review: Comfortable Stay but Disappointing Service Transparency* Me and a group of colleagues chose Wendu Inn during our recent work trip to Kota Belud, and I’d like to share an honest review—not just a general star rating—because the experience was a mix of excellent and disappointing aspects. Pros: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 • The check-in process was smooth and efficient. • Cleanliness and room comfort are top-notch—definitely 5-star worthy, especially for a small town like Kota Belud. • The view from the café and the convenience of having a minimart downstairs were truly added bonuses. • We genuinely appreciated the effort put into making the place cozy and welcoming. But here comes the downside: We booked our rooms with breakfast included, which is supposed to be served at their café. However, this was where things went wrong. 1️⃣ When we went for breakfast, there was no proper display or explanation about the free breakfast options. What was openly displayed was a menu with both breakfast (no prices shown) and lunch items (with prices). The actual complimentary breakfast choices were hidden away in a folder behind the counter—not visible to guests. Naturally, thinking the displayed breakfast options were part of our package, we made our choices and presented our coupons at the counter. The staff accepted the coupons without saying a word. Only after finishing our meals were we surprised with a bill, leaving us feeling misled and frustrated. 2️⃣ The counter staff’s customer service was below expectations. When we requested an official receipt for work claims, we were repeatedly told to refer to the booking website. Even after explaining that we needed an original stamped receipt, the answer was simply: “We don’t have an original stamp.” For a hotel catering to business travelers, this lack of basic documentation support is quite inconvenient. Final thoughts: Would I recommend Wendu Inn? Yes—for comfort, cleanliness, and its peaceful surroundings. But be prepared to double-check details around your package (especially meals), and don’t expect much assistance from the front desk when it comes to paperwork or clarifications."

"Environment: The scenery on the island is amazing. It was off-season when I went there, so there were few people and the scenery was beautiful. Although the sea was not as clear as those on the distant islands of Mermaid Island, it was still cleaner and comfortable, and it felt like a vacation. Service: The staff were very nice, the person in charge was Chinese, and the communication was very smooth. I especially want to praise the food. The chef was great, and it was much better than the seafood meal I had in Kota Kinabalu city!!! There was a performance after dinner, and the atmosphere was super good. You can also play kayaking on the island, but I didn't play it because the waves were too big that day. Health: The room is simple and clean, and the facilities are relatively average. Overall, it is still worth a visit"

"The food is very delicious, staffs are all friendly and the place is beautiful. I love it here. Recommended."

"The view is very pretty and marvellous concept for glamping. Good for those want to be away from town. Since it was far away, there is no nearby restaurant except for burger stalls at the nearby village. Luckily, there is a cafe currently within the area. Dinner and lunch shouldnt be a problem here. Only to be improved is the facilities as most of the toilets showers are deteriorating but still useable. There is a big tree house in the middle but it is closed down for visitors. Overall, its a good getaway for clearing up your mind from your routine busy life."

"Nice place. I had a very pleasant stay. Staff are very helpful. The room was big enough and good for stay. The breakfast provided so simple but delicious. The accommodation very near to the usukan beach as a few steps only. Beautiful beach especially during high tide and it will be a very nice family gathering at Usukan Cove Lodge. Overall we had a very nice and good stay at there. Will come again soon."
