Stayed in the hotel single rooms. Pretty basic with everything as expected. Room was clean. Hot water was working. Has a nice window view of mount KK. No air conditioning here but the weather itself should be cold enough at night. Walked passed the villas and they looked very decent for whole families who would like to stay.
But at the point of my stay there was still some construction ongoing around the area so the vibes may not be as pleasant as expected. Should be more amenities available in the area once the construction is fully completed. But still way better than the other stays that we passed by along the way as the area is more private and not some random lodging by the roadside.
Reaching the place can be quite a journey and do expect climbing steep hills to reach the stay.
Was a bit confused initially as there was no reception counter and it was kind of like a self check-in situation. Of course the WhatsApp number they provide is quick to address any concerns so it’s fine.
Overall very good stay. Everything is still new as this place only opened just recently. In the future whether or not the place continues to thrive would depend on the maintenance and cleanliness of the facilities/rooms.

Decent location for access to Kinabalu Park. Friendly and helpful staff. Some rooms have great view of mountain. Food at restaurant limited to fried rice or fried noodles.
The Wayn Zen Rose Cabin provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. Visitors to Kundasang will find that the Wayn Zen Rose Cabin is a fantastic accommodation choice. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the Aki-Aki Trail Sungai Liwagu, Kinabalu Conservation Centre and AKI-AKI TRAIL (Starting Point) all nearby. After a long day of sightseeing, guests can retire to the comfort of the hotel. This Kundasang hotel features parking on site.

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!

ننور راشیدهEnjoy the view mount of kinabalu alot. Maybe can improve the hot water bcz it auto turn off while using.
AAnnuarHotel 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.
CChu Kok LeongFirstly, 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.
WWong khin yuThe 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! !
