Welcome! The landlord Qiao Zhijia is a Chinese landlord who likes to make friends and will provide you with considerate service. Our Chinese villa area, Taman Mutiara (Taman Mutiara), located in the center of the town, is a great place to get some peace and quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. Each room has an independent bathroom, 24-hour hot water, all-weather air conditioning, toiletries, hair dryer, electric tea kettle, bedside USB socket, and 100M fiber optic WIFI. Laundry equipment and a 300-square-meter shared restaurant kitchen are available for free use (you can cook your own seafood for a party). There is also a large leisure space for public activities, where you can make tea, drink coffee, read books and newspapers, play mahjong (fully automatic mahjong table), and watch movies on a 100-inch projector. The town of Semporna is very small. We are backed by the sea (Government Pier), 300 meters away from the town center mosque, 400 meters away from KFC, 600 meters away from Watsons, and 300 meters away from the bank. Within 5 minutes of walking to the city center, there are 3 piers behind the Semporna Government Pier. The farthest pier is a 20-minute walk. You can use these few minutes to visit Malay shops\markets\Semporna Football Stadium\Chinese Try local delicacies in tea restaurants and experience the culture and local life here.
"The room was clean, tidy, and odor-free. The air conditioning worked well, and the internet was fast. There was a charging pad similar to the ones you'd find in China, so you could use it if you forgot to bring an adapter. There was also a luggage rack and bedside table. We booked a twin room, which was a bit small, but the bathroom was quite spacious. There was also a large outdoor seating area, complete with cats. It was very pleasant to sit outside with a fan, enjoy a cup of tea, and work.
There was also a large shared kitchen, dining area, and laundry area, making it convenient for families to shop and cook. The seafood market and pier are also within walking distance.
You can book island hopping tours right at the B&B front desk, which is great for those who don't want to plan their trips. The tour guides all speak Chinese, so there's no language barrier. They also provide pick-up and drop-off services directly from the B&B. The famous Pearl Hotel seems to be just a short walk away. Supermarkets and restaurants are also nearby, making it very convenient."

"Good reviews, must be good reviews, five-star reviews.
We are three people, and we booked a triple room. The room is large, with two beds, and the room is very warm and clean. There is also a Chinese housekeeper, and the Chinese communication is completely ok. Every morning, there is a special driver to take us to the pier, and pick us up in the afternoon. When we go to town at night, a driver will also be arranged to pick us up. It is not far from the town, and it only takes more than ten minutes to drive there. After we checked out on the last day, we left our luggage at the homestay, but the housekeeper still arranged a driver to pick us up at the homestay to pick up our luggage, and then take us to town. It was really nice, and I highly recommend it👍"

I came here with my wife for diving and stayed here again. I added the boss lady on WeChat when I stayed here last time. This time, the boss lady was busy running around for my wife to dive. I would like to express my gratitude.
Because it happened to be the Malay New Year, the boss and the boss lady were gone, and only Master Zhou was watching the store. Many things were troublesome to him. He is a generous and smiling good man.
A few days later, the boss came back and had a drink with the boss. As a result, we waived the money for washing clothes and drinking in the past few days. So everyone remember to find the boss to drink in the evening when you come, hahahaha.
The hotel hardware is ordinary, mainly the service is good, so I won’t post the hotel pictures, just post the scenery, I wish the boss a prosperous business

"The service is excellent, the staff is friendly and enthusiastic, but it's a pity that the garden environment of this place has not been well developed, the room facilities are too simple, and the food is very average! The water is very clear, and it is not easy to see too many fish when snorkeling! The characteristics of the island hotel are not well developed"

"Very good, the shuttle bus is not a shuttle bus, it comes at any time
Everywhere feels very considerate, there are mosquito nets and mosquito repellents everywhere, I feel safe if I am afraid of mosquitoes
The hotel itself is also nothing to say, swimming and lying in the wind in the afternoon is so comfortable
Also, the food in the restaurant is so delicious!!! It feels 10,000 times better than many popular restaurants. A simple stir-fried vegetable can be made so delicious that you can't stop eating. It's amazing. There are many types of breakfast and the juice is delicious
In short, it feels perfect, there is nothing to complain about. The only regret is that I only stayed for one night. If I come again next time, I will stay in Mr. Bean for ten days!!!"

"The courtyard is great, the boss can speak Chinese. We just arrived in Semporna and there was no place to exchange money, so we used Alipay to exchange Malaysian ringgit with the boss. The boss was very enthusiastic. There was a car to pick up from the courtyard to the town pier, which was only a 10-minute journey. The courtyard has a good environment, with lights at night, and a self-service laundry room. You can wash clothes after diving during the day. There are 3 dogs in the yard, very friendly and cute ☺️. The courtyard also has a small pavilion for cooking and drying clothes outdoors. In short, it is great. 🌞🌞🌞🌞"

"I have never written a review, but I have to say a few words this time. Let me just talk about my feelings. Sister Ping is really warm and nice. She would arrange a car to take us whether we were leaving for the town or rushing to the pier in the morning. She also helped us process the seafood we bought at night for free (PS: her craftsmanship is really good, especially the spicy crab). To be honest, I have been out for more than 10 days, and this is the first time I feel at home here. There is nothing to say. As for the accommodation environment, I understand it this way. Semporna itself is a very small town, and we basically go island hopping every day. We go out very early, and it is dark when we come back after dinner. We go back to sleep. I think cleanliness and hygiene are enough. And quietness is the most important thing. A good sleep can make a better departure the next day. So I prefer the environment of Mushroom House, which is far away from the town."

Located outskirt of the Semporna Town. Previously was an Aquafarm and we maintain it therefore there were live seafood available at our restaurant. We also can provide island hoping and diving activity as well.
"The location is not very convenient! But there were few tourists staying there, the owner was very friendly and prepared dinner himself, which was very delicious, quiet and leisurely! Next time I come to Semporna, I will stay here again!"

The bathroom is spacious, the room is clean and hygienic, the twin beds are large, and children can stay together. It is much more spacious, clean and comfortable than other hotels I stayed in a few days ago. There is a balcony for drying clothes, which is also convenient. There are also many restaurants around.

Wwc198583After shopping around, I chose to book this one. What surprised me too much was that in addition to being clean and convenient, it also allowed us to meet such a good landlord. We flew early on the day of check-in, so the arrival time was a few hours earlier than the check-in time. I contacted the landlord before to arrange the handover of the keys and inform the arrival time. Because the previous guests checked out early, the pregnant lady with a big belly personally took the staff to clean the house, just to let us check in and rest early! For the next few days, we booked with the boss. In addition to this homestay, their family has their own travel agency and hotel. It turned out that the Amway Holiday Hotel, which had not been booked before, was also theirs. It's fate to be able to stay in this Amway home this time! High cost performance! ! ! If you plan to travel to Semporna, don’t miss it...recommended

GGuest User#positive #I was happy with the Cleanliness of Public Areas, Wall Cleanliness, Decor, Quantity of Amenities, Value for Money; #negative #I was disappointed with the Service; I don't usually write reviews, but Chan's Living is really good value for money. However, I have a problem. I want to borrow a USB charging cable, and I was promised to return it within two hours. I obviously have it, but I won't lend it to me. I don't understand.

GGuest UserPlace is well maintained. Overall clean and nice
The staff and the owner are kind
The place if you stay is in 2nd story, if you have heavy bag it could be a nightmare.
The power outlet is not 220v so u need your converter. The lights are a bit too dim for my taste

HHaojingchangzai☀The room is clean, tidy and sanitary, very good, and cost-effective compared to other hotels. I came here mainly because it was clean. I put on earplugs before going to bed to hear the noise from the mosque next door, and I couldn't hear it at all after falling asleep. The boss was very friendly.

GGuest UserIt was my first time to experience a water house. The slide went directly into the sea. It was very interesting.
Service: The hotel's arrangements are in place and they can help you solve any problems you have. We booked a charter boat for snorkeling for two people. The instructor is also very professional and will dive to the bottom of the sea to help you catch the fish from the bottom of the sea.
Facilities: As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't wait to experience the slide. At first, I was worried that I would sink into the sea if I slid down. There are life jackets at the front desk, so there is no need to worry.
Free dinner: The dishes are very rich, the chicken is very tender, the crabs are also very fresh, there is crab roe in it, you can’t get enough of the shrimps

JJingfuThe boss is Chinese and the service staff can communicate without any obstacles. The girl at the front desk is very nice and speaks fluent Chinese. Although the room is not big, it is very clean and tidy. Everything is very new. The staff of the whole hotel are very nice. The hotel has a washing machine. I forgot to dry the washed clothes. They saw it and helped me dry them very neatly.

The toilet is clean...

GGuest UserFirst of all! The boss is very nice. He will add you on WeChat in advance to let you know and will help you a lot. What a generous boyhhh. The second is my kakak, a young lady working at the B&B. She is really nice and eager to help me. We chatted together. I was really happy to stay at Grapefruit! Secondly, the actual situation, Semporna itself is not big, so it is not bad to walk to the pier, and the room is also clean. I think it is pretty good. There is nothing to complain about. I am very happy 🥳 (There is hot water, sockets, no need to convert plugs! Air conditioning and other things are all there! The room is also very clean, anyway, I think it is OK! The boss and Kakak are also very enthusiastic! Really!)
6.3/10
DdannyjtFirst of all, let me talk about the conclusion. It is still worth recommending.
Reasons: 1. The room is very new, a large capsule-style room, new facilities, smart toilet, air conditioning is also very quiet, and the space is basically enough. The room is built on a cement column more than 1 meter high, and the room is dry.
2. There are currently 11 rooms with intervals between each other. They do not interfere with each other and are very quiet. If you are disturbed, it is the sound of small animals climbing on the roof or raindrops. It feels pretty good.
3. It is 15 minutes away from the town or the pier without traffic jams, and 25 minutes with traffic jams. Between 8 am and 8 pm, free pick-up and drop-off are available at any time, and the time is almost the same. If there is more deviation, 50 Malaysian ringgits will be charged each time, but it is safe and the vehicle is in good condition, so it is worth it.
4. The restaurant can arrange for the processing of seafood, and the vehicle will be sent to buy, then picked up, and then processed. The taste of the seafood is very good, not worse than the pier restaurant. The processing fee is also transparent and fair.
5. I felt unwell one day, and I arranged a vehicle to take me to buy medicine in time. I came back and made a vegetable noodle soup with eggs as required. It was very comfortable to eat. Although it was a little expensive, I was grateful. See the attached picture 55 Malaysian ringgit.
6. I feel that the hotel is a group hotel, which is quite powerful. The restaurant is very large and equipped with five vans. I heard that there are more and bigger plans in the future. There are also many service staff and their attitude is also good.
Here are some of the shortcomings I encountered:
1. The hotel confirmed the order by email, and the name and date were sent incorrectly. I contacted by email twice later, but no one responded. At present, the Malaysian customs is friendly to Chinese people and has not checked.
2. You need to contact in advance for airport pick-up. Please remind me in the reply email and clearly provide contact information, preferably WeChat account.
3. Set a fixed WeChat number for the service butler. There are five butlers in the service group. I really don’t know who to contact if there is a problem.
4. The bath towels were changed twice during the five-day stay. During the period, I asked to clean the floor, but it was never cleaned.
5. During the period, there was one time when a vehicle was needed to pick up the car, and the waiting time was as long as 70 minutes. During the period, the reason was not informed in time. I stood at the door of KFC for 50 minutes. If I had informed you in time, I could have taken a rest nearby.
6. The hotel is still a little far from the pier and town, but the shuttle service compensates for it. However, the price is still slightly high, the price is the same as the Sheraton Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, and the cost performance is not very good.
Personal experience and opinions, for reference only.
It is still worth recommending after overall improvement.
