Old Time

"This is the cleanest and most tidy room I stayed in Sabah. It's a pity that I only stayed there for one night. It's very close to the airport. If you arrive at the airport in the middle of the night, you can consider staying here for one night to adjust. The next day, you can go to the market next door to have a meal and then take a taxi to Semporna slowly. It's easy to find, and you can check in by yourself~ The front desk can speak Chinese, which is very convenient~"

Little Megah

"Xiaomeijia surprised me. I stayed in Tawau for one night before going to Semporna. There were three families, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The price was 400 RMB. They also gave me a bunch of thoughtful snacks and new products. The kitchen was very clean. , the bathroom is also very clean, not to mention the bedroom. There is a durian stall 150 meters away. I bought 3 durians ➕ 20 mangosteens ➕ two dragon fruits for 200 ringgit. . . Eat until you are satisfied. I will come back next year, specifically to stay at Xiaomei's house for a few more days."

Comfy Transit Tawau-Semporna

"We booked this accommodation because we had to be at the airport early the next morning. We had booked a room with a double bed and a private bathroom. Air conditioning was also visible in the photos of this room. On the afternoon of arrival (26/5/2026), we provided our arrival time as requested via Trip, whereupon the landlady indicated that she could not find our booking and provided no further information. Upon arrival at the address listed on Trip with house number 142, it turned out that the house was empty. We then called the landlady, which was a very confusing conversation with many contradictory statements. She indicated that she had not found our booking and that there were other guests in the room. Subsequently, she sent an incorrect address twice. The first was the address where we already were (the empty house), and the ******* was a highway shoulder where, according to Google Maps, there are no buildings. After insisting on assistance in finding the property, we arrived at the accommodation at number 241 (so not 142) via video call... In the meantime, our booking had been found, and the key was to be brought by the cleaning lady, who spoke no English. She opened two rooms: one with a single bed without air conditioning or a bathroom, and another with a bunk bed, also without air conditioning or a bathroom. We indicated that this was not what we had booked, whereupon she placed an unmade mattress with a fleece blanket on the dusty floor next to the single bed (see photo) and left. We called the landlady, who on the one hand denied that there was a problem and on the other indicated that she had made a double booking. Given the time and the lack of other accommodations nearby, we agreed that we would receive a refund and sleep on our own air mattresses in the room. Instead of air conditioning, there was a dusty fan hanging there, which we ended up using anyway because of the heat. Unfortunately, we have not received a refund to date (10/7/2026)."

Foresight Hotel

"Really loved the room — it was very clean. The toilet and bathroom were also clean and had no unpleasant smell. The location is very strategic, with a 24-hour Servay supermarket right next door. Parking is convenient as it's available directly under the hotel. The ironing area and water dispenser are located just outside the room, making them very convenient to access. The only downside is that there is no lift, so it may be difficult for elderly guests or those with mobility issues to climb the stairs. During check-in, the owner accidentally provided the wrong password for the main gate. Fortunately, there was a staff member on duty who helped us resolve the issue quickly, so it wasn't a major problem."
