I honestly could go on and on about how much I love this hostel. My friends and I booked through Hostelworld for 2 nights. Our plans fell through and we ended up staying at the hostel for 2 more nights. The staff is beyond helpful. When we asked for advice about where to go or what to do they gave... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Lavender Lodge, one night before going to Mt. Kinabalu and one night after. We really appreciated the friendly, helpful staff and owners.
