Kota Kinabatangan Hotels

"Top class hotel, fabulous views. Limited vegan menus are my only criticism"

"Had booked for 2 nights but left after 1 night! Terrible experience! Mindful this is a 2 star resort but the place was dilapidated, unkempt & stinking. Resort is in lush tropical setting but the whole place is neglected. Very tacky decor with concrete or plastic painted to look like wood/rustic. The place was a mess - boxes, rubble, general stuff lying everywhere. Staff are uninterested & generally loiter around. The pool was vile! A layer of scum & dirty around the tiles and the water was cloudy with lots of debris - we even found a bandaid floating. The wooden lounge beds were rotten wood and so uncomfortable. There was a pungent smell of dirty water throughout. Room was primitive with a flimsy door - didn’t feel safe at all. Given a bath towel but no hand towel - bath towel was frayed & very grubby. The bed & pillow were hard as hell and lumpy!! Woke up with a sore back Breakfast was rotten. We left the next day - staff didn’t even acknowledge or ask how was our stay! The only positive is it’s close to the sunbears & orangutan sanctuaries. Sepilok is a lovely area but consider paying a bit more for somewhere better (the Nature Resort across the road was great)."

"Good basic accommodation "

"Good for a quick stay in sandakan. "

"Overall this wad good hotel for an overnight stay. Breakfast service was very poor."

"Helpful staff - Linda manages it all beautifully. Plenty of food - not gourmet but thats not why we were there. Pleasant rooms and bathrooms. It is out in the wild - and it feels like it. Twice a day small groups were taken out in motor boats down the river Kitabangan for the chance to view a variety of monkeys, orangutans, Borneo elephants. It was a bird watchers papadise. Our driver Tanjong did his best to find us the Borneo 5. What a wonderful 3 days and nights. "

"We had the most incredible stay here! Jason and his team really looked after us from start to finish. Our guide Ryan was extremely knowledgable and made such an effort to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible; we paid a little extra to do the morning cruise which was 100% worth it. We were also very impressed with the food which was made fresh and tasted delicious. Special thanks again to Jason who was the perfect host full of warmth and great advice. We feel very lucky to have stayed here and can’t recommend this place highly enough. "
