I found SSL's website to book a place in Laban Rata is not very user friendly. There are opinions expressed in this very useful website of a local doctor on booking a place to climb Mt Kinabalu. Some bigger operators are booking in bulk to resell. To book a tour package to climb Mount Kinabalu from travel agents, read this.
