"Booked for Queen Bed Room at ground floor for RM239 (before discount). Few times stay at Rose Cabin since 2004. But this time too much difference...a bit run down. It's over priced for the facilities provided. Even spacious room, but no TV, no fan (so stuffy), toilet inside the room with no toiletries, bathroom (hot shower) is outside of the room at the veranda (no privacy) with very little all in one shampoo. Nothing much to do here. Check in/out counter only open from 8am till 8pm. After that...

Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Poring Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Exceeded our expectations. The entire experience was undoubtedly much better than all our previous experiences in similar properties throughout West Malaysia. The villa was spacious, well-maintained, and clean. Service levels were excellent - people were friendly, helpful, and prompt. The breakfast provided, while basic, was however enjoyable and adequate. The only gripes we had: 1. This place was at a relatively lower altitude, and therefore temperatures were not as cool as we were originally hoping for in the mountains. 2. No curtains in the bedrooms - we were forced to awake with the sunrise. Overall an enjoyable experience for the entire family, and all of us liked it."

Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Kinabalu Park

6/10 Okay

"Limited accommodation options meant we picked this. We have been staying in budget accommodation so hoped that because this was more expensive we would be looked after. The staff didn't seem particularly attentive with us, and the hot water for the showers didn't work meaning that after a day of hiking we had ice cold showers. We ate in the restuarant and were ignored on multiple occasions. "
