Great place to stay
Great place to stay at, within Mt Kinabalu Park. Excellent services and friendly staff. Great place to stay at if you like trekking. Good food and a nice fireplace to keep warm during cold evenings.

The staff at the reception and Liwagu restaurant is attentive and courteous. KKNP is a great place to experience nature walks. The paved roads are maintained and clean. However the room & furniture is aged and requires maintenance. While the air quality in the open is refreshing and cooling, the room is stuffy. A fan to circulate the spacious room would help. The property certainly needs upgrading.

The property is within the Kinabalu National Park, so it is surrounded by the flora and fauna of the rainforest, which is so dense and delightful. The hiking trails are nearby and even walking up to the first checkpoint is very convenient. I loved my time there lots as an escape from the city life.

Very peaceful stay, some of the facilities could use an upgrade and the restaurant is a bit average taste wise, but overall if you love nature you will love it here.

so disappointing
it remain the best option in Kundasang but every time maintenance and services are getting worst... this time, in one of the best villas they have, paid RM 800 for one night stay, not enough hot water for all guests to have a shower. My bed blanket had a big stain on one side. Restaurant is becoming ridiculously bad... overpriced, specially at breakfast time, doesn’t offer enough options and quality of food for the level of the Sutera resort..... RM 28 for french toasts that are just 2 slices of bread, 3 very small slices of banana (1/6 of a normal banana fruit), and and a spoon of honey!!?? I still recommend the place for a stay mostly because there are no better options but avoid the restaurant at all

The Nepenthes Villa we stayed in was idyllic - perfect for curling up on the sofa in front of the fireplace. We loved being surrounded by nature while still having the conveniences of modern living like heated water for a warm shower.

Beautiful place, in the middle of nature.. Clean rooms but a little basic for the price. Food in the restaurants is not at the level of the rest of the hotel services. Variety and quality need to be improved
