Overall cleanliness was good. And the location is very strategic as it is located in one of KK's biggest malls. I don't know if I could recommend this hotel due to my experience of construction noises lasting from 10pm to 12am (and it went over 12am where I had to ask the staff to check on it). I understand this may be a one-off incident but the lack of understanding from the staff is what truly puts me off. Even though the noise was coming from the mall, it does directly affect your customers and thus it is a problem that the hotel has to address. I called to complain twice, got no updates after the first and had to face a very dismissive receptionist in the second. The hotel should have taken more active measures and worked with the mall management. I don't think there's any excuse as to why construction has to happen AT NIGHT where your guests want to rest/sleep. Other than the mall, no other amenities.

It's quite difficult to find the hotel for first-time visitors. You can go up and down the stairs multiple times and still not find it, because you can only access the hotel via an elevator. Make sure to look for the hotel from the outside, folks! The interior of the hotel is a bit old and stuffy because the air conditioning is weak and noisy. If you don't turn it on, it's really stuffy.

Super cool concept! The space pods are really cool and spacious. The TV in the pod doesn't have access to Netflix or your phone so we couldn't watch anything on it. About a 15 minute walk to the seafront.
Only squat toilets on the floor of our room and some of them spray your feet from the back of it with water.
Very clean!

The hotel is right in KK Square, making it super convenient for food, drinks, and shopping. However, the room was a bit dark, the bathroom was small, and the pillowcases weren't clean. Other than that, everything else was fine.

Very well located place, just next to jesselton harbor and Gaya Street. We had a problem in the first day because hour apartment with double bed wasn't available and we need to stay the first night in an apartment with twin beds and without wash machine (which was included on apartment booked). From second night we could move to the apartment booked. It was clean but is old and not so wellantained, the place also don't have enough equipments (we needed to ask for pan and pots, since the only one provided was unable to use, also wasn't provide enough cutlery). But the place is near to the most attractions by walking distance and have the essentials to stay for a short time.

The staff were very helpful and provided excellent service throughout my stay. The airport transfer service was also very punctual and well arranged. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable stay, and I would definitely consider staying here again

BBella1994All was good except for the WiFi service. The staff were good. It has no lift by the way and our family room with 2 queen beds and 1 sofa bed was on the 2nd floor. Using only stair to lift up our baggage. This facility has it's own parking lot which save our time not to look for a space to park our car.

GGuest User*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.

QQaaa AmrrThe journey to the hotel took a very long time because it's quite far. The road leading to the hotel wasn't great, but once we arrived, the view was absolutely stunning. Mount Kinabalu was clearly visible; we could see it distinctly in both the afternoon and morning. The bed was a bit noisy, it creaked a little when moved, and there were other faint noises, but we just ignored them. Breakfast was decent. Their fried banana fritters were delicious and crispy – perfect for an early morning breakfast.
I chose this hotel specifically for the view, and it certainly didn't disappoint.

HHernandoI loved this hotel; I thought it was the best in the area. The food is good. It's very close to the orangutan activities and the Rainforest Discovery Center.
August is the most popular time of year, so all the private cabins were already booked. Only the 6-bed shared rooms were left, but I still decided to stay here because the hotel is so beautiful. In the end, there were only 3 of us in the room. The walk to the room is on an elevated dock, full of trees and flowers. You pass by all the chalets, and it's very pleasant.
You feel like you're in the middle of the jungle at all times. The only detail I didn't like is that the pool is very dirty, full of floating moss.

ZZuralengThe room is okay for a small family. However, it’s not very suitable for those who are sensitive to noise because the room is not really soundproof — you can even hear the person next door showering 😂. But overall, the room is still okay and comfortable for our stay.

GGuest UserIt should be a nice place, with a huge garden, but all the board walks are made with cheap looking wood imitation.
You feel more like disney land.
The houses and rooms are poorly sound proofed, every room is on a long floor and everybody is passing through, kids shouting and screaming and parents screaming in their cellphones. Then people are not used to close doors quietly, its banging 24 hours.
Its very much noise made by humans for a jungle resort.
The service is good and the rooms are in a good condition, just it should be more light by the sink in the room.

AAngela OoiYou have to buy tissues separately at the counter. The room had a very damp smell as soon as I entered, and so did the bed and bedding. The soundproofing is very poor. I wouldn't recommend this room type for light sleepers, as you can occasionally hear children running upstairs and other people's conversations very clearly. The environment is quite nice, especially at night. However, when the lights are on at night, people outside can see everything through the glass doors and windows. 😂

AAndrew9951There are markets, supermarkets, department stores, and many restaurants nearby. The only downside is the loud karaoke noise from next door. The room itself is quite nice, clean, and well-maintained!

GGuest UserThis place offers unbeatable value for money. Less than 61 yuan a day, plus a generous breakfast (which is free!), and simple seafood dishes. The staff is excellent, always smiling. I'll definitely book here again next time I'm in Semporna. They offer free coffee and tea, and the air conditioning is on 24 hours a day.
