Absolutely amazing place to stay! Very pricy to Bornean standards, but worth it to splurge one night. Very friendly staff, great food at the restaurant, beautiful surroundings and the rooms are an absolute dream, our room had a balcony with an amazing view over the jungle, so impressed. Would definitely recommend! Within walking distance to the Orangutans.

Loved the whole experience. Staff were so lovely, really helped us out when we left something behind. Amazing to be immersed in the jungle. Pool was lovely and so was the food. Would 100% recommend.

The staff here was really welcoming, friendly, helpful and happy. Receptionist, cleaners and restaurant workers all did their best to make our stay a pleasant experience and greeted us with a smile. They offered their trips but never pushed them too much. The location is just perfect, because you can access the main attraction by walking. Orangutan and sunbear center are just 5 minutes walking distance away and we also visited rainforest center by walking. Rooms are surrounded by a lovely jungle-like forest and view from the restaurant is super beautiful and relaxing. There are frogs that make a noise 24/7, but that is expected since you are in the forest. Our chalet (#11) was almost perfect for us. We could see the restaurant and even though wifi reached our room, the connection was pretty bad in the room but worked fine outside. Shower had a good water pressure and we always had warm water. Room had AC and fan. We didn’t use the AC during the night because it was pointed direct at the bed. That being said, fan was more than enough. There is also a safety box that worked fine. The restaurant is great but the kitchen is not open all the time. The chef really knows their craft and the place served us some of the best food of our trip. The cocktails were delicious and beautiful and we liked how they added their own twist to classic cocktails. This is not the cheapest restaurant, but we felt that we get good value for the money. The waiters always had time for us and answered our questions whether it was about the food, how to say things in Malay or which reptiles live in the pond. Receptionists helped us with all things possible and they, too, entertained us with chit-chat when we had downtime. Highly recommended!

After a busy day out it's great to come back to relax and swim in the lovely pool at the sabah hotel. The manager was very welcoming ,helpful and friendly. Really easy and cheap to use 'grab' for transport.

It was OK quite expensive for a little bit of a dated hotel. But the room was good and the pool area was lovely to relax it. All just a little bit tired. Breakfast was OK but not great.

Relaxing by the pool. The brilliant staff. Particularly but not only - Gentleman on reception who sorted out our room and upgrade. The lady serving the drinks oh and the cakes in the lounge bar. The bell boy team and Ringo (Starr) the best taxi driver in Sabah.
