Everything is so well organised - great hospitality and amazing local food. The area is beautiful and such good value, away from the crowds and right on the ocean. Felt like we stumbled on a real hidden gem. Good communication from staff. One of my favourite stays in Sabah!

Property was newly renovated so we had a beautiful new room to ourselves . Bed was comfortable, views were absolutely gorgeous. We even saw a turtle right in front of our room. The owners were absolutely amazing; very accommodating, helped us with everything from booking tours to transport. Food was delicious, and they even helped us haggle for fresh seafood

The staff all friendly and helpful. A nice bonus having free transportation to/from town. The room is small but if you travel light then enough space. Nice hot shower with free toiletries. Lots of self-serve laundry close by. The bed was firm but comfortable.

Once a humble coastal town, it’s now becoming increasingly tourist-oriented. Seafood tends to be on the pricier side unless you’re skilled at bargaining. Diving here offers mostly smaller marine life, especially when compared to the vibrant underwater scenes of the Maldives. Night dives aren’t permitted unless you’re staying at one of the pricier water resorts that offer in-house diving. It’s fine for a short getaway, but there’s not much in the way of standout attractions or culinary experiences.

Semporna is essentially a fishing town and island transport hub. Not much appeal in my opinion other than it being the start/finish point for most Sipidan diving trips; that’s the only real pull for tourists, and unless you are heading out to the islands there are probably other nicer places on Borneo.

The place is not for everybody, very poor people, small homeless children playing and begging around, however I enjoyed the local experience. There is nothing to do here so if you are going for diving you are ok or for an island hopping tour that was very nice snorkelling.

Semporna is a scruffy little town that's trying to up its game but unfortunately has a ways to go. The beautiful outlying islands draw loads of tourists with zero environmental awareness. The local tour operators do little to encourage good practices. The streets and particularly the harbor are full of trash. The locals eat out about half the time so restaurant options are abundant. Prices for just about everything are low and snorkeling and other tours offer good value. If you go to dive or snorkel, please bring up some trash after making sure nothing is living on it.

This is the filthiest town we have visited.

This is the filthiest town we have visited. There is garbage everywhere, including the ocean that washes it onto the beaches tourists come to visit. Footpaths are broken and full of trip hazards as well as being non-existent in some places. Fortunately they drive slowly and avoid people walking on the road. Little children begging is another sad reality. However, the snorkelling is still much better than KK,and you'll get used to the garbage after a couple of days. The waterfront restaurant strip has great cheap seafood.

You really need a local guide to make sure you stay in areas that are safe and clean. If you do your research, there are lot of amazing things to see and explore. 10/10 would recommend island hopping boat tour for a day.

We loved the convenient location to the pier for snorkeling/diving trips to the islands.Also close to many food options, marts, chemists etc. The bed was comfortable but the shower leaked and the air- con was a bit temperamental. The hotel had a cold water refill station available 24/7 and a very well equipped kitchen, with a basic self- service breakfast. There was a washing machine for guest use for a small fee and clothes airers which was fantastic!

The location was amazing - super peaceful and beautiful. An oasis away from mainland Semporna. Staff were super friendly. Attracts lovely other guests (only four rooms total). Breakfast was great - pancakes, fried eggs, toast, bananas. Hammocks very comfortable.

Easy to reach location. They can book cab for you from the airport at a paid price and also island experiences. Just get in touch with the hotel. The food was awesome, so was the location of the hotel. Not to far from the mainland.

Good place not far from the uninspiring port town. Quite location if you have your own transport. A little outdated but good value for Semporna. Washing machine and clothes line was a bonus.
