Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Poring Hot Springs

Pros: spacious wooden lodge located right at the entrance of the kinabalu park with private parking. We sleep to the sound of the river and wake up to the chirping of the birds and insects. Lodge is very cosy and has 2 bedrooms with individual bathrooms. Friendly staff and attentive service throughout our stay. Convenient and stratetic location to enjoy the park to the fullest (orchid garden, butterfly farm, hiking, hot spring, canopy walk were all really fun). Breakfast was buffet style, simple but sufficient. Cons: linens had some stains on them. No aircon in living room and the old fan was only spinning at the lowest speed even though we set it to full speed. It gets quite hot during noon time. Master bedroom fan and bathroom's hair dryer were not functioning. Curtains were not blackout type and room gets very bright as soon as sun comes out. Need to purchase separate tickets to go into the kanabalu park and the other activities inside. Overall experience was good. Just hope management can do something about the faulty items because room rate isn't cheap and guests deserve to enjoy all amenities in perfect working condition to make the stay more enhoyable and memorable.

It was an enjoyable stay. All staff were polite and professional. The rooms were clean and all amenities were worthwhile.

We enjoy the stay in nature. There is no wifi but our own phone internet is working fine. We came with own car as it is distantly located from ranau town or kundasang. The cleanliness is great, beddings are comfortable.
