Location is far away from town, says you can pick up and drop off but doesn't provide any contact information. You don't register your details when you check in and if something happens you don't even know who is staying in the room next to you. The most frustrating thing is the host's personality, because we missed a ring in the room, we asked them to retrieve it, the next day I went to retrieve the ring and I thanked them in English, but they mocked with a contemptuous tone in Malay, which I don't understand, maybe it's because finding the ring increased their workload and they are not happy? He sent me a speechless emoticon on WeChat when we left. I will absolutely, positively not book a second time next time I travel to Malaysia, and I hope that anyone reading this review will be cautious about booking a room.
Response from Property: Hello, we already told you there is a driver up there you can contact in person also contact detail in white board, you also can get with driver personal, for doing express check in we got your detail ready so we just need to double confirm your name, and you are unhappy because just an emotional chat that the driver just press it wrong? It seem we serve you hard but you are just too over thinking too much, we never feel workload, hope you understand, tq

Staff are great and friendly. The owner employs the environment friendly policy which I hope that more travelers can support him. There are fruit trees in the facility and they are very generous to share…fresh and sweet.

Very friendly and very clean.
A very nice dinner was prepared on request and before we had some icecold beers.
It is a 15 minute drive from Semporna. A lovely quiet location in the middle of nowhere but which serves excellent as a base to go to Mabul Island or to Lahad Datu.
Great value for money !

The room was nice, and the hotel car was also available to take us to town. I will choose this hotel again next time I come to Semporna!

The hotel is very good. Overall, it is good. The boss can speak Chinese, communication is barrier-free, the service is also very good, the new swimming pool check-in is also very good, the environment is good, although it is in the suburbs, but the boss arranged the dock pick-up very conveniently. It is much better than the dock hotel I stayed the night before. The hotel at the dock is really hard to describe. I will book this hotel again next time. It is worth recommending.
Facilities: good

The environment is very good, much better than the pier. It is in the village, very quiet, and there are little squirrels 🐿️, which is very fun. There is also a swimming pool. You can contact it in advance before going out to sea. Overall very good. Thank you for the warm hospitality of the boss. The breakfast is good.

Although it is far from the town, you can arrange for a pick-up with the front desk, which responds promptly and is very convenient. The hotel breakfast is delicious for three days, but the ecological environment is too good, with many small animals. In the morning, you will be woken up by the crowing of roosters. Later, one day we canceled our plan to go to the sea at the last minute, and asked the boss if he had any recommendations for hiking nearby. The boss also gave us a relatively favorable charter service. The family room for the three girls was actually a little small, and the other two boys who stayed in the standard room said that the space was suitable.

Highly recommended, surrounded by green vegetation, the boss and waiters are very enthusiastic, and there is a loving breakfast made by the store every morning, which is different every day and delicious. I stayed for two days. It was very comfortable. The room was very clean. The boss recommended several island hopping routes, which were all suitable. The round-trip to the pier was also available on call. Recommended, recommended, recommended.

Must give a good review! Good service! I am also satisfied with the room!
Before booking his house, I saw a review saying that there were ants in the room. The boss replied that there were many plants in the suburbs, so there were ants. I think this explanation is quite reasonable, so I still booked his house. I originally planned to stay at his house for three nights in Semporna, but the first night was fully booked, so I ended up staying for two nights.
Because my swimsuit hung outside was wet by the rain in the middle of the night and I had to use a hair dryer to dry it, and I was afraid that blowing it in the room would affect the children's sleep, so I went to the bathroom to use the exhaust fan socket to blow it. As a result, the power of the hair dryer may be too large, and the exhaust fan socket was burned out. I asked the boss how much money he should pay him, but the boss said it was okay and he would not charge a penny! Just for this reason, I must give a good review! Also, when the boss came to the town to pick us up the next day, I didn't notice that he left me a message that he had arrived, so he made him wait for almost an hour, and he didn't lose his temper. We apologized to him and he kept saying it was okay, so the boss's service attitude is very good!
The homestay provides breakfast, although it is simple, it tastes good. Free pick-up and drop-off in Semporna town, just tell the boss in advance.
The B&B is all independent houses, and the back garden looks nice at night with lights on. The room is spacious and the bed is big enough. The boss said he plans to open another one in Mount Kinabalu. It is recommended to separate the wet and dry toilets if conditions permit. The decoration design of the room and garden can refer to the B&Bs in Yunnan.
When we checked in, we saw the boss was building a swimming pool. It is estimated that guests who check in will be able to swim in the B&B soon. We also saw squirrels and monkeys in the garden! So it is normal to have insects in the room, right?

The environment is really good and very quiet. Compared to the dirty and messy town, this place is more like a paradise. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the town. There are staff responsible for free pick-up, but you have to make an appointment in advance. The boss is Chinese and very good, and there is no barrier to communication in Chinese! Here you can see all kinds of wild animals and plants that you have never seen before, and the cost performance is quite high!
