Semporna Hostels

Hygiene: Clean and tidy. Environment: A bit noisy with the windows open, but perfectly fine when closed. Service: The front desk staff were super nice! When I felt unwell in the middle of the night, they quickly took me to see a doctor. They even shared their own food with me when I was hungry, haha! Just a heads-up for night snack lovers, remember to prepare some food in advance. Don't worry about your luggage; the staff will help you carry it. Facilities: This hotel offers great value for money and is quite comfortable. Plus, downstairs is their own restaurant with delicious food, and the owner will even help you bargain at the seafood market!

This was my second stay here. The hotel is located right on the street, about a ten-minute walk to the pier. The main reason I chose it was for the spacious rooms and great value for money. Traveling with kids, I particularly appreciated their triple room. The beds were large, the room was big, and the private bathroom was also spacious – overall, it felt very relaxing. There's a shared washing machine available, which is convenient for cleaning clothes after a day out at sea. For breakfast, they offer toast and jam downstairs, or you can cross the street to buy breakfast from the locals for a different experience. I forgot to take photos this time, but overall, it was great and worth trying.

I booked this hotel for a friend, and based on their feedback, the stay was very satisfying. The booking process was smooth, and the staff were friendly and helpful during check-in. The location is also convenient, whether for vacation or business. Thank you to the hotel team for the good service. I’d consider staying here myself in the future.

The room was very nice, spacious, and clean. However, as posted in the room, please be sure to keep your belongings safe! One day during my stay, I carelessly left my wallet on the table, and the other two days I hid it in a compartment of my suitcase. Even so, a $100 bill and €50 in cash were still missing. The theft was very discreet; they didn't take everything, just a few bills. I was left with $100 and €50, and the other four 100 RMB bills and Korean Won were untouched. I only discovered the theft when I needed to exchange cash again after leaving Malaysia. The balcony door was always locked during my stay, and a room key was required to enter the room. Therefore, please be extremely careful with your belongings when staying here!

The room was clean, very clean. The air conditioner and bathroom were also very clean. Two people cleaned, and the sheets were changed immediately after each person left. The location is convenient for island hopping, about 800 meters away.

I arrived in Tawau at 3 PM, but the airport didn't allow overnight stays, so I had to head to Semporna three hours earlier. Coincidentally, the front desk staff that day didn't speak Chinese or English, so we communicated using a translation app. It went smoothly; they allowed us to rest in the lobby and use the public restrooms. They were really kind and friendly throughout. After daybreak, we left our luggage there and went island hopping. We checked in upon our return in the evening. The cleanliness was good, and I didn't find any mosquitoes. My only minor regret was not having a place to hang my washed clothes, but thankfully, summer clothes dry quickly. The location is great, with plenty of food and drink options downstairs, including restaurants and supermarkets. Overall, for the price, I was very satisfied. If I go back, I'd definitely consider staying here again. I forgot to take photos of the hotel, so I'll just use my island hopping pictures instead.

I stayed at the hotel for four days and felt very good. The hotel owner was very friendly and thoughtful. The relevant facilities and equipment are very complete, and the hot water is abundant. I recommend choosing this one, thank you

Pros: Conveniently located near the island-hopping pier, just a 10-minute walk away. They can also arrange affordable shared transfers to the airport. Cons: The facilities are very basic, but I suppose you get what you pay for. Breakfast was also extremely simple, offering only a few items: plain congee, bread, fried noodles or eggs, and rather cheap sausages. There were no fresh vegetables or fruit available at all.

I stayed at this hotel last night and was pleasantly surprised. Although the bathroom is shared, it was very clean and well-maintained. The room itself was also clean and comfortable, with a cold air-conditioner that made the stay even more pleasant. For the price, it’s definitely worth it. A great option for budget travelers looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay.

The room was clean and tidy, and the service from the front desk and logistics ladies was very good. The breakfast was simple, but there were staple meats, eggs and bread, and the staple meats were different for three days. There was a place on the balcony where you could wash your clothes by hand. It was a pity that there was no kettle, only one stool, and the hot water was relatively small.
