Immersion in natural surroundings, the awe of Mount Kilabalu and the kindness of people.
Pros:

The location is incredible! Absolute stunning views from our balcony of Mount Kilabalu, we will miss waking up to that every morning. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Accomodation is basic and rustic but comfortable and clean.

Cons:

The walls between rooms are very thin and if someone is next door or below you can literally hear every word they say.

Pros:

Die Lodge besteht aus mehreren Holzgebäuden mit Zimmern und Bad. Alles war sehr sauber und die Leute super freundlich. Die Anlage ist an den Berg gebaut mit viel Grün dazwischen, alles blüht 😃 Bis zum Parkeingang konnte man laufen, ca. 1km.

Cons:

Die Holzhäuser sind sehr hellhörig. Zum Glück hatte ich nur 1 Nacht Nachbarn 😉 Zum Frühstück hätte ich mir etwas Obst gewünscht und vllt. Cerealien oder Haferflocken?

Super rustig verblijf met adembenemend zicht
Pros:

De rust , het uitzicht , de propere kamers , dagelijks droge badhanddoeken waren zeer welkom

Cons:

Het ontbijt voor westerlingen is eentonig. Aanvullen met ontbijtgranen en vers fruit zou een meerwaarde zijn

Pros:

Wonderful views and terrace. This is for the room I had. Each option quite different.

Cons:

Extremely dangerous traffic on the road (high speed, no space for walking) made it impossible/too risky to walk to the park main entrance. Private transport 20-25 MYR one way.

Wonderful Views and Comfortable Room
Pros:

The view from our room was truly stunning and it was a very comfortable and well equipped - we loved sitting on the balcony looking over the mountains and valleys. The location is great close to Mt Kinabalu and was a great place to stay for hiking on the mountain and exploring the local area.

Cons:

Staff weren't particularly helpful. The included breakfast was either plain rice or noodles cooked in palm oil, white bread with what looked like rancid margarine. The tea and coffee were very tepid. They charge if you want anything extra - I had the eggs - not great. We didn't bother eating here on any subsequent morning as the food was so bad.

Nice location but noisy
Pros:

Nice view (if your room has a mountain view because I had not...)
Kind staff

Cons:

Very noisy, I had bad nights here as dogs fighting and barking all night in front of my room.
The ceiling is squeaking and you can hear rats running in it + you can hear anything from what happened in the other rooms (paper fin walls...). Power cut off triggers the emergency light in my room and woke me up in the middle of the night after dogs finally stop fighting.
You have to walk 200m from the reception to fill your bottle with only hot water only if there's water left.
Overall a bit overpriced for this level of discomfort, I just wanted to spend 2 chill nights before leaving Borneo and at the end it was not relaxing at all. Don't go here if you're a light sleeper.
+Almost cold shower.

I'm not usually reviewing but that wasn't a good experience, I'm writing this to warn the staff to make improvements .

Please inprove your soundproofing
Pros:

Near main road

Cons:

We had to park a further away because limited parking near the room building. The walls a too thin, just using plywood. You can hear people talking in the opposite room.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war schön und gepflegt. Auch das Bett war bequem. Von unserem Balkon hatten wir eine tolle Aussicht zum Berg Kinabalo. Das Zimmer wurde jeden Tag gemacht. Es war sehr sauber.

Cons:

Es gab keinen Schrank oder Regal, so dass wir unsere Sachen auf dem Boden stapeln mussten.

Excellent close to National Park
Pros:

One of our favourite stays in Malaysia.We arrivied early and were allowed to leave our bags for a couple hours and then we were unexpectedly upgraded due to wifi issues in the room we booked originally. But the room we got was excellent - comfortable beds, excellent view onto Mt. Kinabalu from the balcony, great facilities and bathroom, and staff were very welcoming. Plus there is a free breakfast which was good as well

Cons:

Nothing - everything was great. Wpuld recommend for anyone looking to stay close to the national park
