I'd give 5/5 for cleanliness. The room is well maintained. You can also do light cooking like microwave food here. Not only looks like a hotel, but it giving home vibes also. The only problem is the parking tho, limited parking access.
I came here with my wife for diving and stayed here again. I added the boss lady on WeChat when I stayed here last time. This time, the boss lady was busy running around for my wife to dive. I would like to express my gratitude.
Because it happened to be the Malay New Year, the boss and the boss lady were gone, and only Master Zhou was watching the store. Many things were troublesome to him. He is a generous and smiling good man.
A few days later, the boss came back and had a drink with the boss. As a result, we waived the money for washing clothes and drinking in the past few days. So everyone remember to find the boss to drink in the evening when you come, hahahaha.
The hotel hardware is ordinary, mainly the service is good, so I won’t post the hotel pictures, just post the scenery, I wish the boss a prosperous business
Lo staff si e' mostrato super disponibile e cortese, ci ha dato una mano a trovare un transfer perché dovevamo partire prima del check out normale.
Struttura organizzata, durante i pasti si mangia tanto e durante le escursioni sempre puntuali.
Da consigliare sia come servizio sia come rapporto qualità prezzo
The stay overall was satisfactory until the final day, when I encountered a couple of issues that caused significant inconvenience. On the night of my check-in, I requested an extra pillow as I have lower back pain. However, I ended up waiting for over an hour. When the staff finally came to explain, I was informed that the extra pillow had been given to another guest who had requested it after me. I found this to be unfair and disappointing, as my request was made earlier and for a genuine reason.
To make matters worse, on the last day, when I had a flight to catch, there was a complete lack of water on the first floor. This unexpected situation disrupted my preparations and made it quite challenging to get ready for my journey.
That being said, I really love the vibes here overall. Plus or minus, I will still consider coming back.
Very good, the boss's seafood processing tastes super good, the boss's own meals here are also delicious, the seafood processing in town is completely different from here, I can only say that it is two completely different concepts, trust my Lord, the shuttle bus pick-up is very convenient, the sanitary environment is also very good, clean and tidy, the water in the swimming pool is cleaned by robots in the water every day during the day, my children like it very much 😘

Such a spacious room and very comfortable. The beds are large, the room is really spacious just like staying in a mini apartment. The surroundings are nice, just a few steps to Imago shopping malls and eatery area also available up to 12.00 midnight.
The hotel environment is clean and the photos are beautiful. We also saw turtles and schools of fish at night. The hotel provides free snorkeling, glass boats, kayaking, and sea fishing. The staff are enthusiastic and helpful. Andy's photography skills are really great, and he has been helping with various responses. It was a very pleasant water house experience!
Stayed for one night before the islands. The hotel is nice, clean. You need to take off your shoes inside. You can wear your own clean ones or guest slippers. There is a private area with plants, tables, chairs, sofas. Lots of cats and kittens.
The staff is very nice.
There is water, yogurt and noodles in the mini-store at the hotel.
For breakfast, only small noodles and coffee / tea.
You can bring your own food. The atmosphere is homely) everything is very nice
It's actually a homestay rather than a hotel.
The entrance is very small. The driver drove around several times and asked people nearby before he found it. But the door lock is automatically locked, so it's still very safe. Change shoes on the first floor, and there is a reception room on the right hand side of the second floor. The reception staff will call the owner to confirm. We didn't see the owner for two days.
The floor of the passage is quite clean, but you have to take your luggage upstairs by yourself. The rooms are all on the second floor.
The bathroom and shower room are just as described. They are together, and it's no problem for one person to wash standing up. The water temperature and water pressure are also suitable. You need to bring your own toiletries and a mouthwash cup; it's best to prepare toilet paper. It feels that it's not enough for a family to stay for more than 2 days. We didn't ask for more when we brought more.
We brought disposable bedding sets ourselves, which is always safer with children.
The air conditioner in the family room is not very powerful, and the wind can't be blown down. It's okay to sleep at night.
The room card is placed on the bedside table after check-out.

Our host showed us to the room and explained all. Air conditioning units were very good and quiet at night. We didn't watch much TV but it was in perfect condition. Some may say the bed is hard but for me I slept perfectly. Being on the waterfront we had access to all restaurant's cafes and shops. The negatives would be the drain in the kitchen and the bathroom. I suspect these drains are not sanitised. I overcame this problem by putting the bathmat over one and a bin over the other. This negated the smell. Plenty of storage and also a pull out couch for a small child.
Very Good

GGuest UserIt was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting.
Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea.
Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry.
Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you can’t get enough of the shrimps
YYePros: spacious wooden lodge located right at the entrance of the kinabalu park with private parking. We sleep to the sound of the river and wake up to the chirping of the birds and insects. Lodge is very cosy and has 2 bedrooms with individual bathrooms. Friendly staff and attentive service throughout our stay. Convenient and stratetic location to enjoy the park to the fullest (orchid garden, butterfly farm, hiking, hot spring, canopy walk were all really fun). Breakfast was buffet style, simple but sufficient.
Cons: linens had some stains on them. No aircon in living room and the old fan was only spinning at the lowest speed even though we set it to full speed. It gets quite hot during noon time. Master bedroom fan and bathroom's hair dryer were not functioning. Curtains were not blackout type and room gets very bright as soon as sun comes out. Need to purchase separate tickets to go into the kanabalu park and the other activities inside.
Overall experience was good. Just hope management can do something about the faulty items because room rate isn't cheap and guests deserve to enjoy all amenities in perfect working condition to make the stay more enhoyable and memorable.
VVeraA simple spacious room with shared bathrooms in a lodge, with a hotel nearby where you can eat (not cheap but very nice and with excellent views of Mt Kinabalu). Clean bathrooms with good hot water showers. Really worth it if you are doing the full summit hike. I wanted to explore the park around and would have been better off staying near Poring hot spring.
KKitty~QFirst of all, I am very happy to meet Menalisa's housekeeper Xiao Chen Laotie and a housekeeper sister. Secondly, I feel very happy to come to Semporna. Although I did not sign up for the sea tour on the first day, the housekeeper sister recommended other niche places to me. The mountain is also very beautiful! And thank Xiao Chen brother the most. He arranged a driver for me and I also took the sea tour from him. He is very good at taking pictures📷. I am especially grateful to him💓 for taking me to eat a lot of local food! We sat at the front desk and boasted together. It felt like he was very good. He could speak Chinese, English and Malay. I am very grateful to him again hahahaha! The hotel is also very good. You can tell the housekeeper if you have any needs, and they can solve them for you on the spot! But don't make unreasonable demands. I swear I'm not a shill. I spent four days in Semporna. Xiao Chen took me to eat for three days. The most regrettable thing is that I didn't eat seafood because I felt uncomfortable in my stomach and didn't really want to eat it haha. Thank you Xiao Chen for taking photos for me. If you need to join a group, you can also ask Xiao Chen to arrange it for you. You are also welcome to travel to China hahaha. Thank you to all the hotel staff💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
AAnonymous UserLike: The room is spacious and has a hot water dispenser, which is great. The kitchen can also be used for cooking. Netflix is provided, making it convenient for families to stay. Contacted the B&B and got a quick reply.
Areas for improvement: There is a dent in the mattress, the toilet seat, the liquid dispenser is loose, the air conditioner, and the hardware could be more ideal.
In summary: great value for money.

GGuest UserIt was a very good trip. Sister Ping was also very enthusiastic. She picked us up and dropped us off in the town. There were police on duty and security at the B&B when we went to bed at night. The safety issue was really reassuring. Sister Ping also took us to bargain. Under her leadership as a local, the black guys didn't dare to cheat you at all. In addition, the auntie at the B&B had great cooking skills and the processing was free. She gave us vegetables when we didn't have any and wanted to eat fried tomato and eggs. The feeling of being at home was really embodied at this moment. I really thank Sister Ping and Mushroom for giving the three of us a family feeling in a foreign country.
