Airport Guide
Compare 4 airports near Kundasang
For most travelers heading to the highlands, Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI) is the primary gateway and the most efficient choice, as it sits in a neighboring city with the most direct transport links to the region. While it is not located in Kundasang, it is the closest hub offering a variety of taxi, rental, and coach services. The other airports are located in neighboring cities and serve as distant regional connection points. Sandakan Airport (SDK) and Labuan Airport (LBU) primarily handle domestic traffic and require significant ground travel, often involving multi-modal connections through Kota Kinabalu, making them less practical for direct access. Lawas Airport (LWY) remains a minor regional facility. Travelers prioritizing speed should always opt for BKI, while those using secondary airports should prepare for extensive land travel times. We recommend arranging private transfers in advance for comfort, as public bus services in the highland districts can be infrequent.

The resort is conveniently located right beside the main road connecting Ranau and Kota Kinabalu. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. While there was some traffic noise from passing vehicles, it wasn’t a major issue—earplugs can easily solve that if you’re a light sleeper.
What mattered most to us was the cleanliness, which was excellent. An added bonus is that extra mattresses are available for rent if needed. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would definitely choose to stay here again.FromUS$30

1. Amazing Location – Located inside Kinabalu National Park (they're the only one inside) so you can imagine the fresh air and the amazing view. Wasnt sure if the mountain we saw early in the morning was the Kinabalu Mountain but it was majestic nevertheless.
2. Spacious Room – We booked the Hill Lodge with two single beds and included with the room are (i) two lounge chairs, (ii) one vanity table, (iii) one open closet, (iv) one balcony. Amazing space if you're looking for a quite and peaceful getaway. Sound proofing was definitely bad but since the location is in the park, you'll only hear birds most of the time. They're located away from the traffic.
3. Delicious Breakfast and Dinner – Breakfast is included but we ordered takeaway food for dinner from their restaurant. Both are amazing and exceeded our expectations. Plenty of options to choose from for breakfast and they also offer buffet for dinner but we opted for ala carte meals only. Nevertheless, both were amazing. Definitely recommended to atleast get their breakfast and/or dinner buffet.
4. Parking – Plenty of parking spaces provided right infront of the rooms. You dont have to carry your belongings too far.
5. Amenities – No fan/aircond provided but the room was never hot. Since they're located in Kundasang, their weather has always been cool.
10/10 definitely recommended. I would like to repeat this hotel if Im going to Kundasang again in the future. Perfect for couples and perfect for families too. Love the food, Im reminded of them again now ＜/3FromUS$33

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I would like to start my review by complimenting all the staff ,from the receptionist, kitchen staff, to the housekeeping team. All of them truly deserve a 5-star award for their excellent service.
The receptionist, Ms. Liza (if I’m not mistaken), was very kind and welcoming. I arrived at the resort around 2:00 PM without making any prior reservation, yet she patiently showed me every type of room the resort offers. After viewing all the room options, I made my decision, and the check-in process was smooth and easy with clear explanations given.
The room was quite spacious, and an additional bed could be added with a small extra charge. Whenever I needed anything, I just had to make a call, and the staff responded quickly and efficiently.
My stay included breakfast, and the food provided was good. For dinner, the restaurant also offers a variety of dishes, which is very convenient as guests don’t need to drive out to look for food.
That said, I do have a few suggestions for improvement to make the stay even better. The beds could be upgraded, as they felt a bit old and not very comfortable. The Wi-Fi coverage also needs improvement, especially since the CelcomDigi network coverage in the area is quite weak. In addition, the television system could be upgraded. While the resort offers beautiful scenery to enjoy, sometimes the weather doesn’t allow guests to go outside, so having better in-room entertainment would be appreciated.
Overall, I had a pleasant stay and truly appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality , I hope to visit again in the future.FromUS$49

2 hour drive from airport. Very close drive to the Kinabalu national park or about a 20 minute walk. Room is simple, rustic but clean. Beautiful surrounding and view from the room. Bed was comfortable. Perfect if you just want a good place to rest after spending the day in nature. There’s a cafe/lunch spot about 15 minutes away by foot.FromUS$15

The service provided by the staff was excellent. They were polite, friendly, and hardworking throughout our stay. We especially enjoyed the breakfast, with the fried mee hoon being a highlight. The room was very clean and well maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable. Above all, the stunning breakfast view of Mount Kinabalu truly made the experience unforgettable.FromUS$61

Stayed at the hotel and really enjoyed the breathtaking view and beautiful garden. The surroundings were peaceful and relaxing. However, the walkway from the car park to the hotel room was quite slippery, so it would be great if this could be improved for guests’ safety. I also hope the café can offer a wider variety of food choices and extend its operating hours for guests’ convenience.FromUS$68

Mount Kinabalu at 6am will really surprise you😲
We live on the highest floor,
When you open the door and look to the left👀, you can see the whole Mount Kinabalu, and there are no wires or anything else blocking your view of taking photos😍😍😍
When you open the door and look to the right👀, you can see a sea of clouds, and the wind is really comfortable and cool🥶
But there are a lot of small insects in the room, and the bed sheets are not very clean, so they itch..😂FromUS$52

This place is amazing. The rooms are clean and tidy. Toilet is clean with all the necessary essentials provided. There is bidet which is a plus point for us. We were lucky enough to get 2 rooms as we only booked the place 2 days prior. The hosts were very helpful and accomodating. Both of our rooms are ground level with patio. The place has a very clear view of the mountains. The breakfast provided is not buffet style but its still enough to keep us full for the morning.
I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and families.FromUS$95

Extremely satisfied! The room was spacious with plenty of beds. I requested a room with a balcony and a view of Mount Kinabalu, and luckily they were able to accommodate me (as one was available). You can relax at the cafe and enjoy the Mount Kinabalu view in the early morning. I would definitely repeat my stay next time.FromUS$30
