    U Merlin Resort: Cheap if you know some local who works here
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The accommodation here will be cheap if you know the locals who works here. This year, is my first year, staying outside the national park. This place is about 2km away from National Park. Got this place for RM100 for 3 rooms. Original price for this is supposed to be at RM240. :-)

    First time experience of getting cold shower here. Its like ice water.

    Not much of outstanding facilities. Restaurant in this hotel is currently under renovation. So, you can just take a walk to Kinabalu Rose Cabin for your meal.

    Sayat Sayat Hut
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sayat Sayat Hut is located at the rock face region near the summit of Mount Kinabalu. Unlike Laban Rata hut, Sayat Sayat hut has no electricity and only the most daring will try spending a night here in this high altitude and freezing temperature at night. The only good thing is the accomodation is free.

    Gunting Lagadan: Second Best
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is located at the 11,000ft marker but but with minimal amenities. Beautiful scenery if the fog doesn't block the view.

    Great View with minimal mobile signal, strong signal only available near the main door entrance.
    1) Kitchen to boil hot water
    2) Clean Bed Sheet
    3) Okay Rooms
    4) Cold Water

    Laban Rata Guesthouse: An accomodation in a high altitude
  • Tip Rating:
  • Basic and yet comfortable especially after a long trek up to about 3350 metres. You may not have much choice anyway as this is the only accomodation here.

    Mesilau Nature Resort: Mount Climb via Mesilau
  • Satisfaction:
  • For hostel, only RM30 for Malaysian, one dorm got 3 double decker bed, shared bathroom. The bed is not that good and not that bed either. Got living room area in the hostel, so you can play cards or whatever while killing time. For private room or chalet price range is around RM300++. Got tv and astro at the restaurant area but the food is expensive, maybe you can just order drinks and watch tv until the restaurant close at 10pm.

    The view is great, surrounding by nature.

    Waras Hut
  • Satisfaction:
  • Yo.. last minute luckily we still manage to book this no heater hut.. waras hut.. 2 rooms with 6 beds each plus the cooking facilities.

    Waras hut is very near to Laban Rata, around 50m away, 5 minutes walk. Surprisingly, we were there in early January and the night is not cold at all!

    The toilets are outsite the hut. There are 3 toilet where 2 are with shower. Hot water is available but the volume is always subjected to change.

    Blanket is provided for each bed. The room is quite RM17 per night.

    Dorms in Mt. Kinabalu: The only budget option
  • Satisfaction:
  • The dorms of Kinabalu National Park are the only budget option for backpackers and they are expensive at that. For 46 RM you get a great dorm, with sheets, blankets, hot water, clean bathrooms, comumal area, and kitchen. But book in advanced or chance your luck in getting a bed. We got lucky for one night but had to leave the next day because the dorms were booked out and it was the low season.
