Great stay for the price. Bathrooms are clean and bed was very comfortable. Yes, the budget room is small but the common room / kitchen provides plenty of space to hang out there is a fridge and filtered hot/cold water available. A simple breakfast and coffee is also provided. The staff are able to help organise day tours. Conveniently located within walking distance of the bus station, jetty, restaurants and markets.

The photos have been exaggerated. Therefore, it's always going to be underwhelming. Very thin walls between the rooms.

Free toast, coffee, tea and water

Location

The room. It was just adequate for a place to sleep. But, no mirror. Very small. The photos on booking.com website aren't realistic. It's not smart at all. A shabby concrete floor.

Clean shared toilet area Free tea, upstairs.

The room was like a cupboard, very small with barely any floor space. Smelled of damp and needed to keep a shoe in the door often to circulate some air. No window. Probably fine for one or two nights but we struggled with the space.

Pretty central, 13 min walk to the jetty. Shared bathrooms were nice and clean. Free bread and spreads provided in the morning. Nice big kitchen / living area. Maybe look at the pictures better when booking as we were expecting the twin room on the photos but this isn’t what we got (our fault for not looking properly). Air con in the rooms.

Staff was friendly. They helped us with booking scuba diving and transfer to the airport. The rooms were nice and they had a very nice and there was a shared kitchen/communal area which was nice. Next to Summerbreeze restaurant, good recommendation!

Common room upstairs can be a bit noisy with footsteps. However, the curfew makes it quiet at night.

Very comfortable small rooms. Perfect for short-term stays. Public area upstairs was great for meeting other travellers. Front desk was helpful with questions regarding travelling back to Tawau.

The room ….. no window…. No nothing …. With whet cloths, complicated …

extremely poor that as a town, therefore we must also contextualize the possibilities of hotel etc. It was a hostel with shared bathroom. The room had no windows or aeration, the bathroom was not so comforting but in the limit they tried to make him always find extremely clean for what it could be. Breakfast was included in the price and you could eat bread and jam even at snack that no one told you anything. Staff Very kind

The location is ok, you can walk to the bus station or jetty but this is not a city centre. This is a really cheap accommodation, we also booked the cheapest room so is not a surprise that room was tiny and without the window, so please bear that on mind.

Photos on the website match the reality. Cosy communal area, free breakfast, which we did not expect (toast, jam, peanut butter, coffee, tea), you can also use a fridge and refill your water. Hot shower, good wifi, few local and cheap places to eat.

It was indicated that the breakfast was included, but there wasn’t nothing apart from 2 slides of bread (we were 3 people) and just a spoon of jam.

Not many bathrooms and they're unisex, which may be annoying if it's a full house. A mirror in the rooms would be a good addition to make them feel larger.

Cosy and comfortable rooms with good air conditioning and a nice open common area. Very affordable in comparison to other hostels/hotels in Semporna considering it's similar to a pod, however, it's a private room. Definitely more for those who like to keep to themselves.

The room to small and air vendelation in the room not provide..it's feel stuck..

It's near to town

Comfy room and a surprisingly good layout, albeit slightly obscure. Friendly staff. Free water and a basic help-yourself breakfast was handy, especially for diving with early starts.
