Borneo KK to Sandakan tour
Borneo KK to Sandakan. The experience around Mt Kinabalu was not what was expected. The accommodation for home stay was very poor. No fan, the toilets/shower shared with the host and at times unavailable. The advertisement was that we would eat with the host family, that did not happen! The food was presented under an outdoor area. During the 1 night stay we had to leave the windows open for air flow and the 3 dogs were around our room and continually barking all through the night. Also, if the family were walking above, it would wake us up. Roy was a great guide picking us up at the airport and transporting from Mt Kinabalu to the tea resort. The accommodation in the tea resort has a questionable rating. Rooms are 'run down' and the rooms are positioned approx 6-700m away from the restaurant/breakfast. Breakfast was poor, cold toast, cold eggs with little other choices. There were 6 staff members with 3 having a meal when we arrived. Waiting 10-15 minutes for some fruit and got 2 small pieces of watermelon and pineapple. Breakfast didn’t open until 8am and we were told to have lunch at 11am for pick up at 12? It was raining so we will miss lunch today and travel for a 4 hour bus trip. Hopefully the remainder of the trip improves.
