Mile 36 Lodge

8/10 Good

Mile 36 Lodge is about a 20min walk from Kinabalu Park.

Mile 36’s location is excellent, in a beautiful & peaceful setting, where you can get a view of Mt. Kinabalu (when not covered in clouds) from its open garden & grounds. For 3 nights, I stayed in a Budget Twin Room, which was actually a separate cabin/hut on its own & several steps...

The most disappointing experience is the condition of the gardens around the garden apartments with open drains, broken fences dead grass and dangerous bridges which were just closed instead of repairing them. The pools, beach and breakfast and staff are great Great place to relax, the city of KK has very little...
