The boss is super super nice, I regretted that I booked for two nights, because I watched the netizen said that there was no hot water bath, no air conditioning. But there are really, I must clarify for the boss 😃 The environment is really good, very quiet, it is not an alarm clock that wakes me up every morning, but 🐵 monkey, very original, luck is not bad, saw the monkey, in the evening, walking downstairs is very cool and comfortable, when leaving, drop things in the hotel. The boss sent it again the next day, thank you very much. The boss's Chinese is also very good, there are also two free deliveries to the town a day, so the distance is really not a problem. In short, strong call!!!!

The surrounding environment of this shop is very good, with wifi, sadeed landlord is very responsible, every time he is back and forth for free shuttle, her wife Maya is also very good to people, this time lived very satisfied, we feel very comfortable, very enjoyable, Wild boars, white cranes, and many other wild animals are often seen next to their houses, but don't worry, these animals don't hurt people. The landlord family is very enthusiastic about people. Basically, there are responsiveness.

For stay sekejap okay, cuma hotel agak nampak terlalu lama and tak terjaga. Kawasan dekat dengan pekan semporna. Bila malam agak sunyi di hotel. Depan hotel agak gelap. Ruangan untuk gosok baju perlu kena keluar bilik dan agak sunyi.

The location is easy to find, next to the road, it is noisy at night with motorcycles, the price is affordable, and the rest is the same as domestic hotels

This place is definitely worth the money! The environment, service, and food were all excellent. We accidentally missed getting our entry stamp, and the owner went out of their way to help us find someone who could guide us on how to resolve it. Highly recommend! The water bungalows in Semporna really live up to their price; all four families in our group were extremely satisfied.

The first time I came to Semporna, I thought I was in the wrong place. I lived in such a good wooden house. I liked it very much. Thank you for the warm hospitality of the staff. I am very happy. My son is not willing to go again next time. Thank you.

At first glance, I feel that the homestay is not very good, but after staying, it feels great, very warm, and very warm. It is a caring homestay with a clean and quiet environment. There is no shortage of restaurants around. The yard is breezy during the day and the flowers are scented at night. Behind the center of the sea, I feel that the tropical rain forest is the right choice. The handsome and handsome manager speaks Cantonese. The hotel also has two fixed-point vehicles to pick up and drop off to the town center. Breakfast is different for three days. The free afternoon tea is simple, but delicious. The room Not big and clean. The first time I went to Semporna, I only booked a room. It turns out that the tropical rain forest can also be booked for a day trip to island hopping. Compared with the Internet, the site will be similar to the online booking. So I booked three islands for a day. I thought it was with other people. After joining the group, we found that it was a group of 4 of us, and three of us served us. Among them, diving guides and professional underwater photography of the thin brother Big Fei from the fat world, regardless of snorkeling and snorkeling, all followed to help take pictures, and the little black brother pulled it. The lifebuoy is always taken to watch the underwater world, and the service is extremely considerate. The next day, I reported the deep diving experience to the child. Fortunately, I haven't booked an island hopping tour online before. When booking on the spot, Brother Dafei will patiently explain to us how to play. Summarizing the tropical rain forest, I booked a homestay for two more days.

We came here before the epidemic. At first, we didn't get used to it. Slowly we fell in love with this place, the people here, and the scenery here. Thanks to the store for their help, and I wish you a prosperous business! The picture below shows the seafood we bought by ourselves and borrowed the store’s kitchen to make it. If we go out to eat, it will not be so fresh. Moreover, the restaurant here likes to deep-fry seafood, which is not delicious. Steamed is better!

Reviews From Real Travelers
A taxi from Tawau Airport to the water bungalows costs 90 MYR and takes about an hour. I was really worried about lugging my suitcase across the wooden bridge, but after messaging the boss on WhatsApp, a guy with a trolley came out and took my luggage to the bungalow. The boss speaks excellent English and Chinese. Every request I had was quickly fulfilled: they brought a kettle, water, and cups to the bungalow, promptly fixed a clogged sink, and arranged free luggage storage for our suitcase and bag at the pier. The bungalow itself is small but very cozy, with no unpleasant odors. It stays cool during the day if you close all the curtains and the door and turn on the air conditioning. There's a small shop near the wooden bridge selling drinks, water, and snacks. Nearby, there are two paid paths leading up a mountain, offering magnificent views. We booked two excursions with the boss; he personally drove us to the pier and picked us up. We really enjoyed the tours. One minor issue is that it's quite hard to call a taxi into town, but the boss offers to drive you for 50 MYR. The set dinners were fantastic – very filling, varied, and delicious. I want to thank them for their hospitality. If you're looking for a secluded nature retreat with great service at an affordable price, I highly recommend these bungalows.

Beautiful environment, excellent service, a great place for family trips. The owner is a Malaysian Chinese, speaks fluent Mandarin, and has a wonderful attitude. The fried cassava for breakfast is delicious, and the rice noodles are good too.

There are so many hotels nearby, the price/performance ratio and the environment are better, but the room is a bit small, but there are pros and cons. Generally speaking, staying in is very safe, and it is worth recommending

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sky Resort Timbun Mata & Reef. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views, the pristine nature surrounding the resort, and the warm hospitality of the staff. The rooms were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with stunning ocean views that made every morning feel like a dream. Every corner of the resort is picture-perfect — whether you’re relaxing on the deck, snorkeling by the reef, or enjoying a peaceful sunset. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Every activity was well organized, and the food was fresh and delicious. Special thanks to the team for making us feel so welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a hidden gem in Semporna, far from the crowds and close to nature, this is the place. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended — 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the reason I love this resort is that it's not just about clear water and marine life it's also surrounded by lush green mountain.It is a perfect place to relax with family. The room are very large, featuring a balcony and a bathtub They provide all the basic amenities you need for a comfortable stay. I would like to express my special thanks to a lifeguard at the resort named Najil who helped us during our snorkeling trip.He was wonderful and took great care of my 7 year old daughter,ensuring she had a very relaxing and enjoyable snorkeling experience. As for the dining,even though the food wasn't perfect, it was delicious to me.There was plenty of food,and the restaurant surrounded by beautiful view.

I chose this hotel for a one-night stay before heading to the overwater bungalow the next day. Although the room facilities were a bit old, they were very clean. There's a convenience store right downstairs, and it's very close to the pier. The sea breeze was a bit loud at night, but the breakfast was excellent and plentiful.

Semporna|4.05km from city center
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. The location is beautiful, set in a jungle with lush greenery and flowers all around and it feels peaceful the moment you arrive. The staff were generally nice, especially the Chinese-speaking lady. The rooms are quite spacious, with two large double beds that were very comfortable, and relatively clean given the remote location. They also offer shuttle buses to and from town, though these are limited and require advance booking. On the downside, the remoteness creates some challenges. The shuttle requires early wake-ups and long waits as the day tours start later, and there isn’t much to do in town once you arrive. Prices at the resort are very high compared to town, and they charge extra when paying with Alipay or WeChat in Chinese yuan as instead of local currency they charge in Chinese yuan with elevated rates, which felt unfair. Also the room’s roof material made the rain extremely loud. During our stays,it rained all nights during, and even earplugs didn’t fully help with the sound. Breakfast was also limited and not great in quality. Overall, the hotel has a lovely setting and comfortable rooms, but advertising it as 5-star felt misleading. It’s more like a 3–3.5 star experience. Worth visiting if you want the location and nature, but be aware of the extra costs and limitations.

We stayed for three consecutive nights, and it was absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend this place for families or couples. It boasts a beautiful tropical jungle setting, perfect for nature walks where you can spot plenty of wildlife. This is a truly excellent hotel that provides complimentary city shuttle service, making everything incredibly convenient and hassle-free. They offer personalized butler service, and the kitchen excels at preparing various seafood and delicious Cantonese cuisine – simply superb! Semporna itself is amazing! You can go hiking and take in stunning views of the emerald-green sea; make sure to seize every opportunity. Booking island hopping tours through the hotel was very cost-effective. We got two snorkeling sessions, each lasting about half an hour, and it was incredible! We saw countless fish and vibrant coral reefs. We ended up staying in Semporna for eight or nine days. The sea fishing was fantastic! We actually caught fish – small groupers and redfish, medium-sized, and plenty for a delicious dinner! We even added an arm-long mantis shrimp to our meal. It was a perfect experience! I haven't fished in ages, and I was so surprised to actually catch fish here, especially since I'd rented a fishing boat on another island in a different country before and caught absolutely nothing.

This hotel really made me feel at home. Everything was very clean and new, and the owner even left thoughtful snacks outside. My room was cleaned and towels replaced daily. The environment here is much more comfortable than by the pier, and it's very quiet at night. All the restaurants nearby are local favorites, so you can't go wrong. Plus, there's an amazing massage place just a street away! 🥹🥹 I'd love to come back next time!

Environment: The room was small and quite old, like a small guesthouse in a third-tier city in China. You could see the sea from the room, though. The bathroom was tiny. Service: The front desk was very slow when checking us in; people who arrived after us were already done. It said they offered Chinese service, but it was just a tiny bit, really just a tiny bit. However, they did provide breakfast vouchers which you could redeem on the first floor. Hygiene: When we pulled back the covers, the bedding was wrinkled. We initially thought it hadn't been changed, but even after they supposedly changed it, it was still wrinkled. Maybe that's just how it is.

I booked this guesthouse based on a recommendation from a Xiaohongshu blogger. It's very clean and doesn't have any strange odors. I'd say it's one of the cleaner accommodations in town. The showers are communal, and you need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste, but towels are provided. Just be aware that during busy times, you might have to wait for hot water, and the water pressure isn't very strong. The location is excellent and quite safe; you need a key card to enter the main gate. It's very convenient to walk to the pier, and right next door is the tour agency for 'Conch Diving' guides. The owner is very nice, and I really like Malaysian people. Thank you! It was a very pleasant experience.

Accommodations in Semporna town are generally quite basic. This time, traveling with my kids, I booked the Sipadan Inn 2. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the Marine Tourism Center, with plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby. However, there's a bar next door where many young people sing, and there are lots of dogs in town that fight at night, making it a bit noisy. Breakfast is very simple, and I won't go into detail about the hotel's facilities – they're considered decent for Semporna, but don't set your expectations too high. I brought my own disposable bedding. The hotel staff's service was excellent overall; they were very friendly when I asked for water or information during my stay. Oh, and the hotel is very close to the seafood market, so you can buy fresh seafood and have it prepared – it's incredibly tender and delicious.

Considering the limited options in Semporna town, we stayed at two places, and this one offered better value for money. The bedding was comfortable, and the room was clean. The location was super convenient. Right behind the hotel, there's a street full of restaurants, many of them run by Chinese, so language isn't an issue.
