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.

Cosy and spacious chalet

Absolutely amazing!! We stayed in river lodge and everything is perfectly fine as photo shown on the apps. The large spacious glass dining area are so remarkable! The eco-friendly and tropical forest surrounding is really good for travellers who look for wellness and quietness. Inside the park provides you easy trail to waterfall and hanging wooden bridge so you don’t need to plan so much. I will definitely stay in river lodge again among all the other chalets choices

Nice accommodation; restaurant disappointing.

We stayed for 3 nights recently. We were very happy with the room (though it was extremely close to the entrance to the park, so noisy). The restaurant was a let-down - many of the menu items were unavailable, and the cleanliness of the plates, cutlery and tables left a lot to be desired. Considering the prices in the restaurant, this was a real disappointment. n option worth considering is to eat in one of the many local restaurants just outside the gates.

Room not fullfill as per request

Online confirm bed type provide in bunk bed but end up with 2 single bed. Then the hotel personnel tell you their system did not know about the bunk bed requirements. I was, huh??? It’s hotel.com problem that what show was not able to communicate to hotel operators??? And, the room illustration please reflect the truth. The photo is MISLEADING! The room and bed look spacious and ok but in actual, it’s quite limited space. Pls be remember that the hotel location vs the price, it shld have being a spacious one with this kind of price.

Good choice for Poring Hot Springs

Clean and fresh hotel located right inside Poring Hot Springs National Park - you have to buy entrance ticket to access the hotel by car. Quiet at night. The staff was polite and helpful. There is a hole under the front door which a bit scared us at the check-in, however we had absolutely no issues with mosquitoes at night. Wi-Fi was only working at the lobby, no Wi-Fi in the room. Breakfast was nice. There are several places to eat in the village additionally to the resort's restaurant.

Luxurious stay, feel like stay at home

I stayed here at Palm Villa with family for two nights. After read review from guest reviewed, we decided to book this resort. My first impression were right same like others. Since we arrived late, we were directed to the villa. Check in process done in the room very smooth and quick. Resort location just beside the one of main attraction, Poring Hot Spring. We spend half day here but cannot fully explore the area. The villa is very huge. Feel like staying at home. It also clean and well maintain. Breakfast service provided at Rain Forest restaurant. I recommend you to try their Nasi Lemak. I had asked the resort to prepare a room decoration for our wedding anniversary and to surprise my wife. The resort staff Sue, Siandim, Saleha and Sahidah had done very good job. Thanks a lot for making our memorable day. Overall, even it a little bit pricey, you will not regret it. The facilties, service and cleanliness is tip top.

Amazing stay!

Highly highly recommend. Excellent location - close to two waterfalls and an amazing 3.4km trail to a huge waterfall. Beware leeches on the trail! Other than that it was breathtaking. The hot springs are literally right next to the rooms. There are many local eateries just right outside the property which makes things easy. Sabah tea plantation is less than half an hour away as well. We stayed at the palm Villa and it is truly beautiful. It is situated atop a hill right by the jungle. The rooms are beautifully designed. You get three bedrooms with queen/King beds, 3 showers and one extra non shower bathroom. The kitchen is basic. Don't expect enough utensils and associated items for cooking. Rooms are very clean, atmosphere of the place is tranquil and serene. Do not expect wifi here! Only wifi available is in the main concierge. Staff are friendly throughout our stay and very accommodating. The in house restaurant is basic, serves regular Western and asian style breakfast and dinner. Highly recommend the palm Villa for bigger families. Wonderful holiday and time spent here.

Relaxing stay

Stayed in Jungle Lodge which was luxurious. Everything was great and staff was helpful. Restaurant food was good. The big negative was the lack of wifi connection needed for travel arrangements. It is also not was to get to transport-wise, but worth the effort of doing so.
