We enjoy our stay in Summer Holiday. 10-min walking distance to the peak and all the dive shops. It’s good to keep some distance from the peak as the area there is a bit crowded and untidy.
This hostel is tidy and clean. The staff clean the room every day. There’s a share balcony with provided clips/clothes hangers to dry the clothes.

It's very good to live in Semporna, with high cost performance. The room is clean, tidy and comfortable. There is a paid laundry service (30 minutes or 15 minutes to use the washing machine). It is convenient to go to the sea! It is convenient to go to the seafood market and the pier. It costs about 4 ringgit to take a taxi to the pier when it rains. There are free bread, coffee, tea, small cakes and biscuits, which are convenient for simple meals when going out to sea! There is a place to dry clothes, which is convenient! The air conditioner will blow to the head of the bed, and it needs to be turned on and off in time. The Wi-Fi is fast and convenient to use! There is a refrigerator, you can cool your own drinks! The landlord has thought about these services more carefully!

On the second day of check-in, we found a huge cockroach. We thought it was normal to have cockroaches. They crawled under the sheets and killed us. Then we asked the front desk guy to change the sheets. We also took away the thin mattress on the Simmons mattress. When we checked out on the third day, the front desk lady said that we had stained 5 sheets. We only had 3 rooms for 3 nights. She said that there were pen marks on the sheets that the children accidentally drew on when they were drawing, and there were also iodine marks on the sheets that were scratched when they went out to sea. They said that they would have to pay 40 Malaysian ringgits if they couldn't be washed off. At that time, I thought that if a car came to pick us up after checking out, we would pay for it. After paying, we sat at the front desk and waited for the car. After a while, the hotel owner came over and told us that 40 Malaysian ringgits was not enough and asked us to pay 100 Malaysian ringgits for a sheet. I Baidu showed him that 75% alcohol can wash it off, and it is normal for us to stain the sheets when we sleep here. I said that there were cockroaches in your hotel last night and I didn't say anything. You are asking too much. He asked me if I took photos. I said no, so I asked him to check the hotel surveillance. The guy even came to my room door with insecticide. I said I had killed them and went back to get the sheets. He said there was no surveillance and no cockroaches. If you don't pay, call the police. Then he called the police. Finally, his wife called him and he came over and said he was too impulsive just now. Sorry, welcome to Malaysia, haha. Anyway, no matter what, although I didn't take photos of the cockroaches, I came and the photos that the police brought later proved that this review was true. Please stay in a better hotel and don't be misled by the comments on the Internet. This is the first time I have encountered a person who has to pay for dirty sheets.

Response from Property: Hello, I think our hotel needs to make a statement about this matter: 1. During your 3 night stay, your child drew on the bed sheets every day. The boss told the employees on the first night that the ballpoint pen cannot be washed out. Even with alcohol, it will only make the sheets thin and easy to break... The sheets that are covered with iodine cannot be washed out either. Which guest would like to sleep on dirty sheets? 2. I think when a child draws pictures on the bed sheet on the first night, the parents should criticize the child and tell him or her to be careful not to make the same mistake again. 3. The boss said that a bed sheet costs more than RMB 100, and he asked you to compensate RMB 20 for each of the 5 sheets, but you were only willing to pay RMB 40 and even besieged the boss. If it weren't for the boss's wife persuading the boss not to make a noise on New Year's Eve, I believe that every room would use the price of the items, and as long as the guests damage the items, they will be required to compensate. 4. Regarding the cockroach problem, we are not sure where the cockroaches come from, but the cleaning girl will clean the room carefully every time because the boss will patrol and sometimes guests will bring food into the room to eat and bring cockroaches into the room.

The owner was so enthusiastic and helped us book fireflies and cars. It was conscientious and affordable, cheaper than the platform and the agency.
Clean and tidy, the overall hygiene was better than expected. I was worried about mosquitoes before, but fortunately there were only one or two mosquitoes occasionally.
The location is also very good, not far from the pier, next door is a popular western restaurant, opposite is a Chinese restaurant and a supermarket.
The restaurant bar has toast and sauce, as well as small biscuits, which is convenient for breakfast. There is also laundry service,

I rarely write reviews, but this hotel is really good. The sanitation is very clean and the layout is very warm. The front desk is very friendly and enthusiastic. You can ask the boss lady to help you book an island hopping tour. The price is favorable and the quality is good. It's only more than 200 per night. It's great value. You can go island hopping on the day of check-out. You don't have to worry about luggage storage. There is also a toilet for washing and changing clothes. Thank you so much

The hotel is quite big. Because the double room was sold out, we chose a triple room with a double bed and a single bed. The room is large and clean.
The front desk is very friendly and can help you carry your luggage.

The advantages are that it is very clean, the bed is very comfortable, the hot water is big enough, and there is a place to hang clothes. As a homestay, it is excellent. Many reviews praise the snacks and coffee, but you don't need to care too much, just two kinds of biscuits and a few packets of instant coffee. We only stayed for one night and didn't ask for any services, so I won't comment on other things.
The obvious disadvantage is the location. It is on the main road to the airport, more than ten minutes walk away from the lively town of Semporna. It is not a problem when you don't have luggage. If you have luggage to go to the pier or come back wet from diving, it will be a little troublesome. It is also a little deserted at night, and the surrounding food options are limited. It may be more suitable for people who like quiet.
