GGuest UserI was absolutely delighted with the homestay I stayed at in Semporna this time! A huge thumbs-up to our Chinese host, Xiaocheng! 👍
First and foremost, Xiaocheng was incredibly nice. He spoke Chinese perfectly, which is incredibly important for Chinese tourists! Feel free to contact him on WeChat with any questions, and he always responded quickly and patiently. The island hopping tour we booked with him was also fantastic! For example, the night we first arrived, we couldn't figure out how to turn on the water heater. We messaged the host, and he immediately replied, explaining it in a few words and solving the problem in seconds! This feeling of being so responsive was incredibly reassuring.
Secondly, the location was absolutely amazing! It was definitely one of the biggest highlights of this homestay. We mainly went island hopping, and the various piers were super convenient, usually a 10-minute walk away. We didn't have to get up too early to rush, and we could easily get back home after our trip, saving both time and energy. Even better, there was a large supermarket right across from our room window! Buying water, snacks, fruit, and daily necessities is just across the street. It's incredibly convenient! Evening shopping or resupply is quick and easy, without having to travel far. This is perfect for people like us who sail daily and need to restock at any time.
The room itself was clean and tidy, with everything you need. Living in town also means plenty of dining options, with restaurants and a 7-Eleven right downstairs.
Overall, it was a comfortable stay, hassle-free communication, and a super convenient location. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Semporna! Especially if you're looking for easy transportation, convenient shopping, and excellent communication with the host, this is the place to go! Thank you, Xiaocheng, for your care these past few days! 👏
