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

Good experience to those who never been to Kundasang. Tour guide and driver is good as they planned the itinerary smoothly. Weather was good when our first stop to view and take photos of Mount Kinabalu. next stop after lunch was to see the famous flower Rafflesia. just in time 4 flowers were blooming at the same time . BBQ pork was tender. Get to try fresh milk and yogurt from their famous Desa Dairy farms too.

We had a wonderful experience on this private day tour to.The trip was well-organized and very comfortable, perfect for a relaxed yet memorable day. Thanks for Selina for providing the details. Desa Farm was absolutely beautiful — the cool weather, scenic views and farm atmosphere made it a great place to unwind and take photos. It really felt like a peaceful escape from the city. Pekan Nabalu was also a highlight trying the local fruits and taking photos of Mt Kinabalu. Tamparuli bridge, which added a fun and unique experience to the trip.Our driver Rex was friendly, punctual and knowledgeable, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. Since it was a private tour, we could move at our own pace without feeling rushed, which made the experience even better. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this to anyone who visiting.

Our tour guide, Roy, was very easy to get along with. However, the journey to Kinabalu National Park is quite long, requiring a significant amount of travel time. Therefore, some trade-offs are necessary when planning the park itinerary. For example, if you want to visit the hot springs, you won't have time to see the butterfly garden!

it was a long ride to n fro and with young kids, it was getting kinda restless but our tour guide mr emp was so patient with us and the kids. apart from that, during the long ride he also shared information and history abt sabah which we weren’t aware of. at kundasang, the temp was so chilly yet the sun was so glaring, it was hot and cold at the same time. kids had a great time at the rabbit farm, fish spa and cow farm. i wanted to try the famous ayam madu and mr emp drove us there with no hesitation. mr emp also offered to take us to alpaca club which was not part of the itinerary. unfortunately, we were so tired! i will recommend this not only bec the kids enjoyed the trip, but bec mr emp is such a patient and wonderful tour guide.

Our trip to Kudasang was enjoyable. Out driver was on time and the activities we partook were well-paced. Our guide, Roy, was friendly and took pride in his job. We had a seamless experience from start to finish.

It was awesome. The guide drove super well, getting us there in an hour and a half when it should have been a two-hour drive. If you want a special trip in Kota Kinabalu, I'd recommend it.

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.
