Very good, the shuttle bus is not a shuttle bus, it comes at any time Everywhere feels very considerate, there are mosquito nets and mosquito repellents everywhere, I feel safe if I am afraid of mosquitoes The hotel itself is also nothing to say, swimming and lying in the wind in the afternoon is so comfortable Also, the food in the restaurant is so delicious!!! It feels 10,000 times better than many popular restaurants. A simple stir-fried vegetable can be made so delicious that you can't stop eating. It's amazing. There are many types of breakfast and the juice is delicious In short, it feels perfect, there is nothing to complain about. The only regret is that I only stayed for one night. If I come again next time, I will stay in Mr. Bean for ten days!!!

I stayed here for three days. How can I put it? This is the most satisfying homestay I have ever stayed in! First of all, the lady boss is really nice!!! And there is someone to pick us up in the morning and when we come back in the evening! The driver is also very nice and always thinks about us! Friends who come to Semporna for tourism, just book it with your eyes closed! It's like going home and I can't bear to leave🥹Also, I wish the lady boss a happy birthday!!! 🌹

This unit is worth the price we paid. They have complete kitchen, toiletries provided, washing machine, hair dryer & iron is available. Cleanliness and hygiene is good. Private Parking is available within the unit. Location is strategic as it is near to most of the places for shopping, restaurants & attractions. Everything is very good except some management issue (lift and parking level) & some unexpected disruption (water supply issue due to extreme weather, resolved the next day). The owner was very responsive, helpful & tried her best to provide us all we need during the discomfort period. She even went extra miles buying us breakfast. Other than that, this unit is really worthy. Recommend to stay.

I have no habit of taking pictures and forget to take pictures. It is really very recommended. The owner and the housekeeper are Chinese. The boss is very very nice. Ask everything very warmly and answer in detail. The housekeeper is also handsome. If you have time to contact the town in advance, you will be picked up by car. I have tested the five-star service treatment. The most cost-effective accommodation experience. At the beginning, the most worried thing is that the accommodation in Semporna is easy to step on thunder. I am very fortunate to choose this homestay. It is a newly opened homestay. It is clean and warm. I have experienced the feeling of home. It is very intimate and free. Small snacks are convenient to eat, decisively recommend friends around you, have the opportunity to come to Xian again, I would choose this one again.

Very good! This price in town has such a big room with a balcony, which is really a surprise. The bathroom I like the most is also clean and spacious. The hotel is conveniently located, with popular restaurants next to it and close to the pier. Ctrip directly contacted the hotel to make an appointment for airport transfer, and the island hopping also gave great guest discounts and excellent 24-hour service. Before checking in, the hotel pineapple sent me travel preparations and entry guides, and answered all questions about Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu, which made me feel very at ease. I was dazzled by the guides on the Internet...😂😂 When I arrived, I was sent a check-in guide, as well as a guide for food and seafood in the surrounding area, which was very worry-free. Ten thousand likes! I really had a lot of fun this time and was very satisfied! Recommended!!!

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.

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.

HHaojingchangzai☀The room is clean, tidy and sanitary, very good, and cost-effective compared to other hotels. I came here mainly because it was clean. I put on earplugs before going to bed to hear the noise from the mosque next door, and I couldn't hear it at all after falling asleep. The boss was very friendly.

WWoshizhangmiaomiaoThe room's overall layout was decent. However, the bed frame felt quite flimsy, and both the blankets and towels were old with a noticeable odor. Hot water for showers was limited, likely from a small water heater, so a second person would need to wait for it to reheat. It's a passable option if you just need a quick overnight stay, especially after a red-eye flight.

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.

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.
