Terrible
Old tin room, with nails on the walls. Bad flooring etc etc, all our allergies started living in this old place. I am surprised it is listed as a house, I understand a little bit of wild living but this was plainly bad as seen in picture. Luckily we could get it changed on the last day, but allergies continued with cat in the restaurant not helping. The reception was accommodating in facilitating the change, but frankly it should not be listed in hotels.com as a house/room option. The restaurant menu for breakfast or dinner is the same with no variation, it is good to skip it for now.

Wake up to a magnificent view of Mt Kinabalu just infront of our unit. They could improve on the water system. The unit we stayed has no hot water and the pressure was very low. I was freezing cold after a cold shower. Other than that we loved the place and enjoyed our stay.

There were many ants.The condition is like an old kampung house. The DVD player wasnt working and had to get someone to exchange with another DVD player next door. Cats and dogs around the premise, caterwauling until we fed them.The worse part was the presence of something in the room with bunk beds. My son was able to see it and my hubby was disturbed by it.

It is cheaper to book on the spot / call the hotel for advance booking then to book online. The room doesn't support weak WIFI...and there was no TV. Toilet door was broken when we got in. Breakfast was very bad, don't put too much hope on it

Don't book the cheapest room
We booked the cheapest room at the lodge and it was a very small room with concrete floors, a low ceiling, gaps in the walls and no mosquito net. I would suggest paying more for a better room. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was fairly good but nothing to write home about.

Superb location. Near to Kinabalu Park Enterance. Breathtaking view. Very cold at night. One thing that remains a problem and will always be a problem for all guest, the thin wall. If you talk loud, it can be heard by other guess at other room.

I was given the impression, based on the price I have paid on this place (for my room), there would be no issues at all. Unfortunately, in a terrible way, this place has done worse. I have been travelling for a few years. I have been staying in several different hotels and accommodations like Sabah, Sarawak, Penang, KL, Perak and Pahang. All of them have their own goods and bads but none of them have ever disappointed me except this Mile 36 Lodge. I don't know or I am not sure, are this place really wanted to be in the business of leisure or accommodation? Are those guys in this place really wanted to serve their guest with their inadequate amenities? No iron for my shirt? Not enough hot water? Not enough parking? Wifi, internet? Too slow even my grandma can run faster than their internet. Congratulation Mile 36 Lodge, you have won, in the first place, in my own categories, The Worst Expedia Experience of 2019. I am even sorry for Expedia themselves for having this place in their system. You should get rid of this place ASAP from your booking system. Summary? Cleanliness: 3/5 Amenities: 1/5 Internet: 1/5 Everything that's should make your expensive hotel to be worthy: 1/5 Worse, risk of damaging your travel mood: 7/5
