We stayed at Johnson Villa and the View from that villa was supernice, the kitchen utensil provided were good and almost everything was perfect. But they should improve in terms of hanging place for clothes and towel. At the same time, 3 of the dining chairs should be replaced since it easily broken and may be dangerous to the customers.

Overall stay was ok and whole family had a great time. They had bbq pit so it was convenient for us to bring along fresh seafood for our bbq. Staff were very friendly. Bedding were comfortable. We lived in the villa which were spacious overall - all three rooms were spacious attached with own toilets. Rooms lack tables or even clothes rack. It would have been good to have somewhere to hang clothes or towels. Road is steep and Very limited space car park area. Villa could be updated. Surrounding area like the gardens and common areas could be better maintained and clean. Overall there’s potential for upgrades.

Great place to stay 200m from KK park enyrance. Nice big room with balcony. 200m from great testaurant opposite park and snall shop. Staff helpful. Nowhere to eat on site. Lovely location but very steep hill going down to property so not suutable for those with mobility issues. Great for families.

In the middle of nature so quite relaxing. The access isn’t convenient as there is a big slope to access the residence. Quite hard to bring your suitcase up and down.

Cosy, simple & budget stay.
The staffs were helpful whenever we have requests. Though a downside of this stay is still the entrance which leads towards the rooms, is rather steep.

We stayed in Kundasang for 3 weeks in Nov 2018 and have stayed in different hotels such as Nabalu Lodge, JResidence, Dream World Resort, Pine Resort and Hounon Ridge at Bundu Tuhan. JResidence is most the cold among all, temperature dropped to 14 c at night during rainy day. We stayed in Room 1B, the toilet and bathroom is super clean and there room make up service everyday .

Everything was nice except for the noise. It is not sound proof, even the footsteps could be heard. Not forgetting the cats that will come to you asking for food, even dare to enter our room. But yes, surely recommend this J Residence to others too!

Convenient base for Mt Kinabalu
Fairly basic but comfortable room about 300m from the entrance to Kinabalu Park HQ. We stayed there the night before starting our trek up the mountain. Reasonable value for money.

Apart from the flooded kitchen, it was quite an enjoyable and comfortable stay. The garden needed care. Insufficient parking spaces and steep hill.

If you are climbing Mt. Kinabalu, it is the best choice for you. Aside from it's cheap, it's only walking distance to Kinabalu Park.

Speechless
The place was nice if only for couples who have no other place for accomodation options. Not suitable for family as there is nothing much to do expect relaxing in their rooms. No other entertainment except just a cheap VCD player with old movies.

Scary stip road
Very confortable place to stay. However, the narrow and very stip road make it difficult for some. The junction lead to this place also trouble for some especially when bad and heavy traffic. You just need to be extra careful. Overall, this place is amazing and great for family. D

Please decribe the hotel room exactly in website
In the website, the room mention 2 twin bed. But when I check in, there is only 2 single bed. I’ve book for 2 room for 8 person. So disappointed, and no another room for my group.

Hotel by the slope
Good views of the misty jungle. Walking distance to the kinabalu park where there is food served. Hotel is simple and sufficient for overall needs. Water kettle is very useful for extra heat needed for showering as temp can drop to 12 degrees there. Will come back for the unusual cold weather there.
