Lovely, natural, off the beaten path
There were few other guests, but the family of owners were inedible friendly! If you are looking for a quiet stay at a good price, away from the hustle and bustle of Mt Kinabalu, and right next to the Poring Hot Springs, this is an excellent choice.

Perfect for what I needed, basic and convenient to the hot springs. There were quite a few ants in my room and the sink pipe was dripping, but the bed was very comfy and Jenny is a very friendly host.

This was a cool place to stay with fish ponds and animals all around. It was very close to the hot springs. The electricity went out on numerous occasions, to be expected, it did not dampen our stay here.

10/10 Exceptional

The place was great and the owner was very friendly and kind. We even got the permission to checkout at a later time as we were hiking to waterfall in the morning (and there were no new check-in for our room that day). The place is very close to Poring hotspring, canopy walkway, kipungit and langanan waterfall. The entry route however was not likeable. Passing through small stream of river, then hiking some uneven up-sloping road and some stretch of bumpy rocky paveway. Should be very cautious if you rent compact/compact sedan. Albeit that, it is a great place to stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent place if you are looking something out of the ordinary. Serene surrounding and friendly locals. A retreat-like stay. Rough gravel road for about 2km and a hill (not advisable for low skirting cars). Beautiful place and breathtaking views. Farm-like place with chicken, rabbit, duck, and quail. Kitchen space with plenty of appliances free to use 24hrs. Friendly owners and staff. Quite clean room but limited space in room and small toilet. Hot shower. Very cold in early morning and at night. Fresh air and a fun place. No near food place. It gets dark and foggy at night. Better to be back at the lodge early as there are no street light on the way to lodge.

Highly recommended for a break in the countryside
Very nice owners and great area in the countryside. Simple but clean rooms. We recommend the new Family rooms with 5 beds. There is a river 5 minutes away. Close to the poring hot springs and the hikes in the Kitanabalu Park.

Great location - Friendly hosts
Location is awesome, surrounded by nature, about 10 mins away from main road. So yes, you do have to walk to get to the main road, but it's a nice walk, I didn't complain. Bed was comfortable, I booked a dorm bed but I had the whole room for myself because there were no other guests. Hosts were very welcoming, really nice people. The kitchen staff was always speaking very loud, and for someone who went there to have a relaxing evening, I couldn't sleep before 10pm. Toilets were ok, but could be better.

Good place to stay,close to the Rafalesia grows
The people were very friendly and helpful. The room was basic but clean and the bathroom fine. The food again basic but good. It is a bit remote from Poring but only a 10 minute walk down a lane to find it.

6/10 Good

Treacherous approach; poor direction and signage;
Had a hard time locating the hotel at night. Even the locals who live within a Km did not know where it is. Direction given is poor, so as the signage. Approach is via 800m of unpaved road which is covered with huge pot holes, large pools of water and a ford which may present a problem after heavy rain. Very small family room with basic amenities. Dusty condition suggests that the room had not been occupied for some period and had not been refreshed prior to new guest arrival. The rate without breakfast is poor value.

Удивительный отель, ни на что не похожий , по номерам - очень простой, но видно что хозяин увлечён живност и изысками,- кошки, Куры, утки, кролики, геконы,........ Плантация какао и бананов.... в общем интересно как транзитное место на одну ночь
