I have never written a review, but I have to say a few words this time. Let me just talk about my feelings. Sister Ping is really warm and nice. She would arrange a car to take us whether we were leaving for the town or rushing to the pier in the morning. She also helped us process the seafood we bought at night for free (PS: her craftsmanship is really good, especially the spicy crab). To be honest, I have been out for more than 10 days, and this is the first time I feel at home here. There is nothing to say. As for the accommodation environment, I understand it this way. Semporna itself is a very small town, and we basically go island hopping every day. We go out very early, and it is dark when we come back after dinner. We go back to sleep. I think cleanliness and hygiene are enough. And quietness is the most important thing. A good sleep can make a better departure the next day. So I prefer the environment of Mushroom House, which is far away from the town.

The homestay booked in Kota Kinabalu with his wife and her two sisters, the new real estate but it is indeed some distance from the pier. The rooms are clean and the facilities are new, and there is a night market downstairs.

The apartment sleeps up to six people. The location is ideal, and the view from the 23rd floor is beautiful. Unfortunately, the management is little to not interested in communication. Overnight rates are higher on weekends and holidays. Since this company does not have a permanent location or office in the building, you are unfortunately not allowed to store your luggage for hours!

The room was clean, tidy, and odor-free. The air conditioning worked well, and the internet was fast. There was a charging pad similar to the ones you'd find in China, so you could use it if you forgot to bring an adapter. There was also a luggage rack and bedside table. We booked a twin room, which was a bit small, but the bathroom was quite spacious. There was also a large outdoor seating area, complete with cats. It was very pleasant to sit outside with a fan, enjoy a cup of tea, and work. There was also a large shared kitchen, dining area, and laundry area, making it convenient for families to shop and cook. The seafood market and pier are also within walking distance. You can book island hopping tours right at the B&B front desk, which is great for those who don't want to plan their trips. The tour guides all speak Chinese, so there's no language barrier. They also provide pick-up and drop-off services directly from the B&B. The famous Pearl Hotel seems to be just a short walk away. Supermarkets and restaurants are also nearby, making it very convenient.

Good reviews, must be good reviews, five-star reviews. We are three people, and we booked a triple room. The room is large, with two beds, and the room is very warm and clean. There is also a Chinese housekeeper, and the Chinese communication is completely ok. Every morning, there is a special driver to take us to the pier, and pick us up in the afternoon. When we go to town at night, a driver will also be arranged to pick us up. It is not far from the town, and it only takes more than ten minutes to drive there. After we checked out on the last day, we left our luggage at the homestay, but the housekeeper still arranged a driver to pick us up at the homestay to pick up our luggage, and then take us to town. It was really nice, and I highly recommend it👍

I unexpectedly found a B&B with a very high cost-effectiveness in the town of Semporna. It is newly opened, convenient to everywhere, clean and sanitary. It is much better than the hotel I stayed in the town before. The Chinese butler service is very considerate. I will come again next time!

The newly opened homestay has a great stay experience and is very good value. The owner is very considerate and will help you arrange breakfast according to your itinerary. There are special cars for transportation in the town. Just call in the WeChat group and the car will arrive in less than 5 minutes. The homestay environment is relatively warm and clean, just like the pictures. The mattress is soft and supportive, and there are two types of high and low pillows. It is more comprehensive and comfortable to sleep. The plug is also compatible with the national standard. No converter is required, and charging is very convenient. The shampoo and shower gel are both good, and you won't feel itchy after washing. The hotel also has a washing machine and dryer, which is very convenient for washing clothes after going to the sea. The overall experience is very good, and it feels like home.

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

GGuest UserThe stay at River Lodge at Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Poring Hot Springs was totally relaxing, immersed fully in nature with constant gushing sound of the river flowing next to the lodge. There were multiple attractions at Poring Hot Springs, including the hikes to the waterfalls, the canopy walk, and the various pools. We would highly recommend this place.

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.

MMs LouisaOverall i enjoy to stay at here. Near to Philippine Market. The room was cozy, spacious and best among the best is the view from the room. Nearby there is KK Plaza which you can buy some groceries at Servay Supermarket. Just a bit disappointed of the customer service the time i check where i asked to assist me to going down to the lobby after they asked me leave the card inside the room. They no even help me/ assist me to going down from floor 22 to lobby as u meed to scan the card inside the lift before enter the number of floor you wanted to go. After keep on waiting for some time luckily there is guest which also will going down to lobby in the lift, so i joined them.

AacidiqClose to airport, Imago Mall and the waterfront, the hotel is in a convenient location. Cheap to grab if you need to go around but otherwise there are a lot of food options around. I love the cheap and good food from Pacific Cafe downstairs. The room was good and the staff were ok.

GGuest UserWhat I liked a lot: Well situated to visit main attractions in Sepilok: Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre/Sunbear centre/Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC), free shuttle bus to the main attractions (09h-14h-16) which was really great. Also offer tours at reasonable prices e.g. Mangroves & Firefly Cruise (recommended). Free water dispenser. To note: rooms are very basic (there is airco), we had some ants in the room, bathroom is outside. Breakfast was limited and minimal. When we were there internet was not functional, luckily we had taken local simcard before with unlimited data so for us, this was not a big issue. Before coming to the hotel, I had sent a mail to have info about tours they offered, but never received a reply therefore I had booked tours with an agency which in the end was more expensive then when I would have it booked with Paganakan Dii Tropical Retreat. Possible to book tours on the spot (no need to reserve before coming) but I did not know this in advance.
