First, it’s Air Bnb. So u have to contact them first, and then deposit. They wasn’t able to refund me by PayPal or bank account, luckily I get my refund in cash back before i departure. Anyway the cleaning crew was so friendly.

Because we arrived on an early flight and had a few hours before check-in, Ziyin provided us with free luggage storage service. The room was in a very good location, neat and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Facing the sea, you can enjoy the sunset. You can walk to the pier in two minutes. It is close to Gaya Street and you can eat a lot of local food. There is a swimming pool on the 7th floor, and the swimming pool is very clean. Highly recommended and will stay again next time.

Like: The room is spacious and has a hot water dispenser, which is great. The kitchen can also be used for cooking. Netflix is ​​provided, making it convenient for families to stay. Contacted the B&B and got a quick reply. Areas for improvement: There is a dent in the mattress, the toilet seat, the liquid dispenser is loose, the air conditioner, and the hardware could be more ideal. In summary: great value for money.

GGuest UserOverall, our stay was okay. The room was clean, and the facilities were decent. However, we were disappointed by the loud noise coming from other rooms at 3 AM, which disrupted our sleep. It would be great if the hotel could improve soundproofing or enforce quiet hours more strictly. Other than that, the experience was fine.

SSherrylane EspirituThe view from the room is expectacular. We like the room minimalistic design, and the colour scheme. Location is great as it is in the middle of gaya street and filipino market, walking distance to most tourist attractions. However, they need to improve on their cleanliness. Dusty fan, noisy aircon and broken sofa bed are still tolerable but the leaking in the toilet bowl after flushing is disgusting.

DDarrenOur host showed us to the room and explained all. Air conditioning units were very good and quiet at night. We didn't watch much TV but it was in perfect condition. Some may say the bed is hard but for me I slept perfectly. Being on the waterfront we had access to all restaurant's cafes and shops. The negatives would be the drain in the kitchen and the bathroom. I suspect these drains are not sanitised. I overcame this problem by putting the bathmat over one and a bin over the other. This negated the smell. Plenty of storage and also a pull out couch for a small child.

CCdi Syuhadaar KamisPrime Location, Great Amenities (Mostly!), and Helpful Owner My recent stay at Ber-Santai at Marina Court had many positives, starting with its unbeatable location. Being right in Marina Court puts you steps away from the vibrant waterfront and a huge variety of dining options. The convenience of a 24-hour mini-market and McDonald's within walking distance was also a plus. The apartment itself was a comfortable and spacious retreat, impeccably clean and equipped with all the necessities, including a lovely balcony and the convenience of both Unifi internet and in-unit WiFi. The sunset views from the room were truly breathtaking. The owner was also incredibly responsive and helpful, even resolving an AC issue with a prompt replacement. One area that was disappointing was the swimming pool, which unfortunately appeared to be unmaintained and therefore unusable during our stay. Despite the issue with the pool, the prime location, comfortable apartment, excellent internet, stunning views, and helpful owner made for a largely positive experience. I would still recommend Ber-Santai at Marina Court, but it's worth noting the current state of the pool.

GGuest UserWe stayed in room B-15-3A on the 15th floor. The room has 2 bedrooms, 2 1.5-inch beds and 1 1.5-inch sofa bed. It was spacious and comfortable for the 4 of us, but it was very dirty!!! If you are very concerned about hygiene, don't choose this room, it's really dirty!!! The sofa has a strong foot and sweat odor!! Note that the whole sofa is very smelly!!! The bed is a tatami made of bricks, and I don't know why there are so many ants!!! There is no insecticide in the room, and the toilet has no sanitation tools. We stayed for 13 days and couldn't check out the room. It was really uncomfortable! There were insect bites all over my feet!! There is a dining table, which is large enough for 8 people of normal size. The tableware is complete, including a frying pan for frying eggs, a milk pan for cooking noodles, and a spatula. We went to the first floor of Pacific Shopping Plaza and bought an old-fashioned rice cooker, which is very cheap and suitable for steaming dishes. The location is convenient to Gaya Street, 500 meters away, and across from Kota Kinabalu City. The underground floor is Penang Supermarket, where you can buy everything, but it is not as cheap as Pacific Shopping Center. The same rice cooker costs 155 Malaysian ringgits, while Pacific Shopping Center only costs 115 Malaysian ringgits. I took a photo, and you can see for yourself that the photo is the hotel + Pacific rice cooker + Penguin-style Mixue Ice City on the first floor of Kota Kinabalu City opposite + Daqielai dishes. This homestay is very good except for hygiene, so I am going to choose to book a room with another owner in this building. After staying here, I understand why the rating is not high! I will give you 5 stars, but I have to tell the truth!
