This hotel is only suitable for people with vehicles as it is miles out, in the middle of nowhere and the only transport available is the hotel taxi which proved very expensive. Best to stay in the Kinabula park itself. The room (Valley Wing) had an awful smell, tap was hanging off but nothing was done to fix it despite... More

We have been lucky to ne upgraded in the rooms with a view on the mountains (we booked the valley view on Agoda). If you can afford, don't hesitate for the mountains view. Comfort is basic, bathrooms are very basic but you will have everything you need except a fridge and a safe. TV flat screen does not provide a... More

Stayed for 2 nights at Celyn Resort. This resort is badly in need for a thorough cleaning. The air in the bathroom is stinky due to lack of fan ventilation and sloppy cleaning. The tiles on its wall are full of yellowish stains. Despite repeated flushing, the water in the toilet bowl appeared murky in color. Lots of insects of... More

Stay here for a night with 2 kids. My booking experience was simple but you'll be charge 50% already even if you dont turn up. So better plan well. The road to the Hotel was quite scary. Stone/dirt road about 3km from the mainroad. (Wish i drove a 4 wheel). The hotel offer dine since its quite far from other... More

We stayed here in March 2010 (I know it's taken ages to finally write my reviews, it's been a busy year). A little bit about us: we are from London, a 36yr old couple. We like nice and luxurious holidays but probably appreciate the real, local experiences even more. Borneo was part of our honeymoon, travelling in Japan and Malaysian... More

We used Celyn Resort as a base before and after climbing Mt Kinabalu. Quiet, nice and very clean with beautiful views. Note that the resort is quite far from Ranau and Mt Kinabalu. It will cost you expensive taxis to move around. More

The room is clean and in good condition. The location is very quiet with plenty of stars in the night. Indeed there's nothing bad about the place. We had a great time. However, I have to agree with the rest of the reviewers, your stay will be more enjoyable if you have (which we had): 1) own food and drinks.... More
