"Hotel views of mountain is good, rooms were cleaned. Only problem was we were all 60s so rooms given to us was way below the slope where we have to climb the stairs was quite steep. Tv reception was bad. Good for young couples."
"Firstly, the telephone number to the outlet is + 6 012 869 6969 as shown on a signage at the entrance to the outlet; the number advertised on this platform is not helpful when I called two days ago to ask about my booking.
Secondly, the road from the entrance down to the parking bays is steep requiring experience and skillful drivers especially when their vehicles are loaded with passengers or baggage.
Thirdly, the wash basin faucet in the bathroom of my room is loose, the shower head hose is inflexible, and the water pressure is below average."
"The toilet is so old! The outside of the house should be renovated even if it is not renovated! A lot of equipment is broken! How can I put it...it is more suitable for the local Malays to live! If it were me... I would never come back to this hotel again! !"

"July 2024
TL;DR: This place feels more like a meditation centre than a hotel, it will not provide you with supplements. It's a bare room. You need to bring toothbrush&paste and buy drinks somewhere as it is not provided. No tv and fan. No in-house restaurant. There are mosquitoes at the garden near afternoon, and the balcony at night, but there are no insects in the room (family room). In exchange you will get a very clear and vivid Mt Kinabalu view in the near-dawn morning (where there is no mosquito), a working shower with heater, concrete floor that reduces nearby noise, and cold foggy experience.
Long:
This place is within the fog path so you will get the foggy experience. You can also see Mt. Kinabalu at the right time and it looks quite close (e.g. dawn 6 a.m.). You can even see the electric towers and resthouse, it's that close. Moreover, this place is more like a meditation centre than a hotel. It is visibly run down probably since covid as that is also when the in-house restaurant got closed down. Considering my experience as a recurrent visitor of Kundasang, mosquito has always been the least of my concern. Somehow this place has lots of them. We got bit quite a lot in a short span of time.
Undesirable / Cons:
-No water kettle, no supplements (water bottle, coffee pack, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.). Porcelain mugs are provided though
-No in-house cafe/restaurant but nearby has a few (400 meters at least)
-No tv, no fan but cold in general
-Quite a lot of mosquito and moths outside at the garden place in the afternoon and at the balcony connecting the 2 buildings at night. There are no electric zapper.
-Seems a bit run down at the garden. 2 broken board pieces on the floor for example.
-It has no Qibla for muslim people, at least in family room
Desirable / Pros:
-Big room. Not smelly
-Is cement board floor
-Big single beds. Not smelly
-Clean bed. Fluffy cover.
-Water heater is working for family room at least
-Relatively clean inside room and at reception. No insects in room. No weird bugs around.
-Has a table and chairs in room
-Lots of electrical port
-Wifi provided by hotel is strong (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
-Very near main road. So good road going towards the hotel
-Aki-Aki trail starting point is nearby. Plan to go next time so no experience as of this review
This place is not too bad. Not too good either. Personally, I wouldn't place this as my top place for the foggy and view considering other options but I don't mind returning if necessary. It will sure be much much better to highly recommended with much needed renovation and have some methods to deal with those mosquito.
p.s. There's a cute puppy that invites you at the entrance. 😂
p.s.s. I saw a greater coucal gliding into the forest in the morning!"
"Our stay here was absolutely magical!
The weather was perfect—chilly and pleasant, with a nice breeze. Since we’re used to hot weather, it was like a dream come true.
The reception area was huge and right next to it was a great restaurant that served delicious Nasi Goreng. There were plenty of parking spaces, and the resort itself was clean and well-maintained.
The view was incredible! From our room on the Kinabalu Wing, we could see the majestic Mount Kinabalu. It was breathtaking!
Just a heads up, the dirt and stone road leading to the resort is about 2.2 km long, and if you’re not used to it, it might be a bit bumpy. If you’re coming here for the first time, it’s best to arrive before dark.
I’m definitely going back here again! Maybe next time, I’ll have a barbecue under the stars of Kinabalu. That would be epic!"
"I had a good stay. Quiet and calm place. I had a clean and tidy room. Reasonable parking space. Reception and staffs are very friendly and accommodative. Comfortable bed and pillow. I have to use 2 for my comfort. Pleasant experience to stay and will come back again!"
Very Good

GGuest UserWe stayed at Happy Pink, we like the cold nights and breeze there! The view is the same as the photos! Perfect for nature lovers who love sceneries' more the TV. The swing outside each house is enjoyable to have a view at Mount KK. We like the cosyness of the restaurants and the service there. Food is ok but a little slow in serving. Negative is that the water for showering is too weak to be used. We were joking that ”By the time the water flow down to our feet, our hair is already dry”
AAnnabella ChangThe mount KK view from the hotel is stunning, and I love the hot shower especially after a long drive.
The hotel is located within the golf course, a bit difficult to locate when it's dark
GGuest UserRestaurant food is great.
Room temperature is fine around 18-22c
Room weather is too wet Dehumidifier or AC is needed, but not provided.
No room internet WiFi and lack of power plugs / USB plugs for mobile devices charges.
OOliver Fredfor the price of RM130+/nite for a room of 3pax I would say its really really worth it, nothing fancy but room is decent enough for me and my parents, water heater is workimg well as the weather there is really cold plus the rainy day, tv aint working but not a big deal as its time for family bonding😁 basic amenities available with clean towels, lots of parking available, free wifi available but was not that stable.
one thing good bout this place is the location, located right by the main road heading Kundasang town, and very convenient a restaurant situated just below of the hotel, serving NO PORK dishes, general food is and price is reasonable👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
GGuest UserI will definitely come again next time I have the chance!
The hotel is in an excellent location and has a very high cost-effectiveness! The locals who chartered our car all said it was good! You can overlook Mount Kinabalu, which is especially beautiful in the morning and evening. The cabins complement the natural scenery! The beds are clean and the rooms all have large balconies. The store has cats and dogs, they are gentle and friendly, and the dogs will escort you when you go out to climb the mountain. The boss is of Chinese descent, fluent in Chinese, and kind-hearted. Seeing that we have a family and it is inconvenient to have no car, he helped us buy bread and shared dinner. He insisted on not charging money and just said that we were visitors from afar.
Check-in precautions are as follows:
Animals: Most of the local cats and dogs in Mount Kinabalu are free-range and are more free to go out. It is difficult to tell whether they are stray or not. Although most of them are friendly, it is best to keep quiet, polite and keep a safe distance when encountering cats and dogs.
Food and Beverage: The hotel sells instant noodles and snacks. There is a dining table on the large terrace and you can borrow bowls and chopsticks, but there is no catering service.
Transportation: It is more convenient to have a car to travel to Mount Kinabalu, but driving in the mountains requires driving skills, car condition and power. We chartered a car for two days, including pick-up and tours. We did not charter a car for one day and rested in the hotel.
Facilities: Don't expect too much from the hotel's hardware and software. For example, the curtains in our room seemed to have been damaged by the previous guests and have not been replaced or decontaminated. The main purpose of coming to the mountains is to experience the natural scenery.
MMs LydDairy farming may not be the first thing that you associate with Malaysia. As a tropical southeast Asian country, Malaysia does not have a large Dairy industry. However, the unique cool climate in the mountain region of Sabah provides the perfect conditions for grass-fed cows and Dairy production. This farm supplies the region with fresh dairy products including fresh milk, yogurt and cheeses. AND their ice cream is super tasty.
