Nice stay at Faloe hostel, staff are very helpful.

Staff are super helpful, and we’re always available. Hostel is small but has character and is comfortable. Lovely stay, would come again.

Location isn’t very central, but in a nice area. Didn’t feel super safe walking from the hostel to the centre at night as a solo female traveler, but there are lots of food options around the hostel instead.

Sociable hostel with everything you need, would come again

I have stayed here for 3 separate times, and each time I was able to meet nice people to travel together. The location of the common area is good to make it easier to socialize. The hostel is very clean. Toasts, coffee/tea, drinking water and hot water are provided. There's laundry and dryer machine, each costs RM5. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. I would come again the next time I'm in Kota Kinabalu.

Some guests who were noisy at midnight and not being considerate when opening the door

Pleasant but not exactly central.

Pleasant and helpful staff.

Limited communal spaces. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers. Location is difficult to find. No taxis outside, the only way to get anywhere is by booking Grab cars.

One of my best hostel stay! Very helpful and lovely staff. Comfy beds and very modern place in general. I felt like home. Highly recommended!

Just cash. Update the payment information on the booking website/app as you find different payment options what was a bit confusing. All the best!

A must stay if you are in KK

Cannot express enough how much we loved staying at this hostel. The shared area is the easiest place to be social and make friends. The staff help create a family environment and get everyone involved. They invited us to play football, took us around the Sunday Market, helped us order food and played lots of board games together. Special thank you to Chen, Zarif and Pian for their hospitality and kindness. We will miss this place. Thank you for making our time so great. Hope to see you again in the future

Nothing, they are doing an amazing job

Amazing staff, eager to have you experience Borneo

amazing helpful staff. also after leaving the hostel. Ready to help with booking, know a lot about KK and Borneo and are interested in hearing everyone’s experiences afterwards to advice future guests. Returned for one night after 5 weeks around Borneo, and was instantly welcomed ‘home’ which felt as the perfect way to describe Faloe

minor downside, it is a little further away from town, which means either walking on lots or getting a grab somewhere (for 5-8 ringgit)

Syah and Stell are such charismatic hosts who make all their guests feel welcome. There is a book detailing all the tour options available, but I like that there is completely no pressure to book anything with the hostel. The hostel is overall clean, and I like that they always provide two pillows and a bath towel for their guests.

Given the less than desirable state of public transport in the city, getting to this hostel can be a bit of a chore. Nonetheless, there are many food options for all budgets in the vicinity. It'd also be nice to have privacy curtains in the dorms.

The staff is friendly. The location is strategic which is next to Imago Mall.

The hostel is a bit small.

probably the best place to stay in kk as a backpacker

I had a great time at Faloe Hostel. Syah and Stell were super helpful and accommodating, and also helped in organizing activities. The hostel is located in a quiet area, still everything you need (breakfast, restaurant, shops) is within walking distance. Also there’s a well equipped kitchen.

I had a lovely stay at Faloe hostel. I had one of the warmest hospitality here from Sarah, Syah and Stella. They are really caring and always willing to hear you out and help, plus they’re super fun:D I had zero issues with the facility, everything seems to be new, perfect and runs uninterruptedly. Additional thanks to Syah for his home cooked meals and showing around the city during his off time. love you guys and sending warmest hugs from Kazakhstan

An incredible gem of Kota Kinabalu that reminds me of why I travel solo in the first place, to immerse myself with amazi

I loved the electric atmosphere that was present, I’m a firm believer that a place can only truly be amazing with incredible people and that certainly was the case with Faloe hostel. Syah was amazing he made the others and I feel so accommodated and welcomed, we had breakfast together and just had an overall amazing time. The people I met there have affirmed their place in my core memory.

Nothing at all. That I eventually had to leave.
