We booked a private tour and had such a great time visiting Pekan Nabalu, Tamparuli Bridge, and Desa Dairy Farm in Kundasang. The ride was super comfortable and pleasant. We skipped the National Park since we were traveling with our elderly mom, but still had an amazing day. At Pekan Nabalu, we were lucky to catch a clear view of Mount Kinabalu — sometimes it’s hidden behind clouds! It’s also a nice spot to grab some souvenirs. Tamparuli Bridge might just be a suspension bridge, but the view and the local legend make it worth a stop. Our last stop at Desa Dairy Farm was beautiful — loved the cool breeze, hillside views, and getting to feed the calves and goats. Our guide, Vincent, was soft-spoken, informative, and super helpful. We really enjoyed his company. Highly recommended!

the tour company borneo calling was so organised ! the point of person Mei, gave timely updates and checks to ensure that everything goes smoothly! on the day we arrived at the kinabalu lodges, the check in was smooth, rooms were very clean ! on the day of the hike, we were introduced to our mountain guide: Sofian. He was so nice and encouraging during our hike up and as well on the way down. We can see that safety was the number one priority during the whole hike. the weather was not the best. there was heavy rain on the first day as we hiked up to panalaban and it was told that if the weather remains rainy, the hike to the peak may be cancelled. Luckily however, the rain cleared but it remained cloudy at the top. it was often also explained to look out for signs and symptoms of altitude sickness which was very important. The hike up to Low's peak is tough however worth it. highly recommend! still not an easy hike

It was a long tour, but I enjoyed everything. Rafflesia was in bloom, and I was able to see it. The Chinese food for lunch was reasonably good and enjoyable. Because it's a mountain road, the road maintenance is poor, and the car shakes quite a bit, so some measures are needed.

The location itself which is within the Kinabalu Park is awesome. Had a wonderful time walking and trailing around. The atmosphere is great. The facilities of the hostel is suffice and worked well. Despite being a basic hostel, the bed is of 5 star quality, the heated shower is satisfying and I like the smell of the bodywash provided. Lucky to have our room on the upper floor and near to shared bathroom. The only downside is, the shared toilet. Please put more attention to toilet bowls and do frequent checking. Also fix those loose seats! As to buffet breakfast, I could only give 4 out of 10. The buffet is lack of variety and the cooked dishes are cold and bland.

They contacted me closely starting the day before departure. Even though the journey was long on the day of departure, the explanations about Sabah's culture, environment, history, tourism, etc., in the car were very engaging! Adding a professional Rafflesia viewing trip to the itinerary left us with deep memories! Highly recommended!!
