FAQs about hotels in Kota Kinabalu
Tropical Paradise in East Malaysia
Kota Kinabalu (KK) is the capital of the East Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo. It features white-sand beaches, tropical rainforests and the outer lying coral reefs and islands of the Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) Marine Park, a haven for scuba divers.
Occupied by the Japanese and heavily bombed during World War II by the British, some remnants of this colonial era remain in the Atkinson Clock Tower and Signal Hill Observatory, with its sweeping view of the coast.
Tanjung Arn is KK’s most popular public beach and secluded northern beaches like Karambunai and Dalit have resorts dotted along the coast.
Kota Kinabalu Harbour hosts international cruise ships and the KK Waterfront is a popular place with many bars. The KK Handicraft Market is your chance to grab a nice souvenir to take home.
Mount Kinabalu is Malaysia’s highest mountain at 4,101 metres. This highly important ecological region contains rare fauna and flora and makes a good day trip from the capital.
A variety of hotels on Booking.com are centred around Kota Kinabalu International Airport, the city centre and islands.

I love Kota Kinabalu.
I love Kota Kinabalu. There are a lot of nice restaurants, and there are some beautiful islands you can get to. I also love the local restaurants and the dessert places like the Royal Coconut. I would definitely go back again.Guest review byBasilUnited States - 10.0

Great scenery, great food, just need to be careful with the safety, sometimes you can see some homeless people in the street, and too many promoters, the local authority might need to enforce on the road safety and supervision on the overall hygine.Guest review byYi PingMalaysia - 10.0

There are many interesting places to visit for example the Medical Science Musuem, Aquarium and Art Gallery located in University Sabah Campus. The Filipino market nice souvenir items but you will need to bargain. For seafood lovers, this is a fantastic place to satisfy your cravings. Island hopping is also great. Good idea to bring along your own pre-packed food and drinks unless you do not need to budget expenses. Just people watching whilst enjoying a cool drink is also an eye opener. There are many differences with what prevails in West M'sia. I also loved the fact that the airport was just about 20 minutes drive away from the hotel - so convenient and time (cost) savingGuest review byLaili RusmahMalaysia - 8.0
Seafood here is fresh and delicious.
Seafood here is fresh and delicious. Ferry to island hopping was chaotic and long queue. Can improve. When at the jetty waiting for boats, had no system and just hoping hard that the pic will find youGuest review byLee KengMalaysia - 10.0

Love the majestic beauty of Mount Kinabalu which is visible throughout most of our journey to Kundasang & Kota Kinabalu. Sabah is a peaceful and friendly state, blessed with a natural, beautiful landscape and abundant resources including food. We love the fresh seafood served at Todak Waterfront Hawker Centre as well as the local fruits at Kundasang (must try the avocado cheese fruit & buah cinta). The cool climate at Kundasang is a welcome change from the hot & humid climate around the region.Guest review byAAMSingapore - 8.0

Kota Kinabalu is a vibrant and scenic city that offers a perfect mix of nature, culture, and modern convenience. From stunning sunsets at Tanjung Aru Beach to the bustling markets like Gaya Street, there's always something to explore. The city is also a gateway to amazing natural attractions like Mount Kinabalu, the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, and beautiful hiking trails. Food in KK is a major highlight — a paradise for seafood lovers and those who enjoy a mix of local Sabahan, Chinese, Malay, and international cuisines. The people are friendly, and the atmosphere is generally relaxed, making it a pleasant destination for both short getaways and longer stays. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or cultural experiences, Kota Kinabalu has something for everyone. Highly recommended as a must-visit in Malaysia!Guest review byFariezxMalaysia
