We did the couple spa. I'm a guy, the wrap maybe a bit much for me, but the wife loved that part. The rest was great. It was three hours, but it only felt like one! A well run place. Suggest you give it a shot!

The massage and overall experience was fantastic. I wish to return to this place for the second time however considering the price (RM 150 for 1hr massage), there were too many other choices in KK town at one third of the price. Therefore we visited another spa for 2.5 hrs massage. We needed a long on massage as we were... More

This is a really professional set up with very competent staff. They take the time to ask you a few personal details and find out in detail which areas you would like the massage to focus on. I had an traditional oil massage and my daughter had a deep tissue massage - we were both very happy custormers. This is... More

My husband and I both got a holistic package with Borneo traditional massage. Staff were excellent, really good pressure and excellent value for money compared to the spas in the resorts. Highly recommend!

Just went there for my 1st visit yesterday, the decor of the place is really nice and service was good and friendly. Had 1.5 hour aromatherapy massage, it was so good that I almost fell asleep! Make sure to check out their website, seems like it's cheaper to book the massage or spa session on their website rather than walk-in,... More

Centrally located, we walked from our hotel (Hotel Sixty3) to this place. The price is on the high side but you pay for service and ambiance. I felt totally relaxed here. Do check out their website before you make any booking as there might be some promotion going on.
