Buddy Station Reviews

My son enjoyed his stay. The room was very spacious and had everything he needed, including a washing machine. Easy to find. The staff were friendly and helped with luggage from the ground floor to the room. Internet was slightly wonky but he lived! :)

I highly recommend this place for all divers! 👍 First off, the location is excellent. It's close to the pier, just a five-minute walk, and downstairs there are durian stalls, various restaurants, and a convenient market for fruits, seafood, and even a supermarket. 🍤🧜‍♀️🍹🐡🦞 Secondly, it's incredibly quiet and the air quality is superb. It's very clean, 🍀🌿 and the bathroom even has a washing machine. This is super convenient after diving. There's also a special drying rack right outside with a fan blowing on it, so everything is guaranteed to be dry by the next day. I'll definitely come back next time. The value for money is absolutely exceptional! 🐠🐟🍵

The location is great, with convenient shops nearby. However, the town's messiness was quite unexpected. I originally thought Semporna would be a mature diving resort, but the locals' environmental awareness is surprisingly poor.

The environment is very clean, there are many food options downstairs, the owner is easy to communicate with, and the assistant is also very kind.

Excellent youthful atmosphere. Prime location, everything is close by. Very good for the price. The facilities aren't perhaps the most comfortable or modern, But they are people who can help you plan a trip to dive, snorkel, or visit the island beaches. If you're coming to dive, you'll find the best contacts and the most interested people there. It's the hub where young people who enjoy diving gather. There's a great atmosphere and a good vibe.

Great location, very clean. The butler was very friendly. There are convenience stores and supermarkets nearby, and it's close to the pier. Everything is just a few minutes' walk away, which I really loved. There's even a washing machine in the bathroom! So convenient.

Clean and welcoming.

Great experience!

It is my 2nd timing staying at Buddy station. Clean place and good location. Room comes with a washing machine which can come in handy after diving. staff are very friendly.

Clean and hygienic, and the owner is very kind. I stayed for 6 days, and when I ran out of money at the bank ATM, the owner helped me exchange currency. When my child had diarrhea, the owner helped me find medicine for free. He's really very nice, ten stars!

The location and environment are fantastic. The owner is very nice and speaks English. ^_^

The free laundry service was a huge help, especially since I was in a hostel room and they even took my clothes to an unoccupied room to wash. The shower water was hot enough, which was great, but there was only a squat toilet. My roommates were mostly locals who seemed to be working in other parts of the country; they all seemed nice, but remember to go to bed early and bring earplugs.

It's pretty good. The washing machine is convenient; you can just put your things in after submerging them. The entrance is a bit hard to find; there's a black iron gate downstairs. The reception is on the second floor. You should probably tell them if you want cleaning done; they won't do it automatically. I think it's good; it avoids problems if something gets lost. The location is in town, about 1 kilometer from each dock.

Facilities: The facilities are OK, but there is no elevator, so it is a bit difficult to carry the suitcase. Hygiene: The hygiene is OK, because it is very close to the fish market at the pier, there is a salty smell, which will disappear after a long time. The bedsheets also have some marks, but there is no smell of mold or anything like that, which is pretty good, and it will not affect it if you put it on. Environment: It is convenient to live on the pier. Service: The waiter's attitude is not very good, and no one cleaned the room for three days. Especially the check-in experience is not good. Their front desk is on the second floor, and the door on the first floor is locked and can't be opened. Just when I was about to call them, a child ran over and pressed the code through the iron door. We said that the child brother was really enthusiastic and helped a lot, but a group of children came around to ask for money. . . This experience really deducted a lot of points. It is recommended to stay in a decent hotel. The homestay in the small fishing village is not good.
