Very good stay, they got all the things I need. Breakfast was fairly good but not horrible. The location was not far from town, they have electricity bicycle for rent, and easy to move around.

They seems do not respect client pay extra money to order the high floor ocean view room. I booked the high floor, ocean view room, however the front desk had us a low floor (4th floor) and told us that is what we ordered. I insist to change the room and they asked us to move to 10th floor and told us this room is new, has none stay before and there is no other clients in this floor. However in the morning when we got up, half of the room in 10th floor have occupied. I do not understand why the hotel people lied as that. Overall the view is great in the room.

TAKE ALL MY DEPOSIT!!!!
Response from Property: Dear guest, we are really hurtful to see this incident happened. If you have any questions about the refund of the deposit at that time, please be sure to raise them. We will appeal for the incident. In addition, we have a no-smoking/room facility damage policy. If you accidentally violate the check-in regulations, we have to collect a certain amount of deposit. We hope you can understand. (T^T)

This hotel is truly riddled with complaints. Just 300 meters across the street from the main entrance is a cemetery. The previous guest's napkins were still under the curtains, and there were hair streaks in several places. The sheets were wrinkled and creased. The phone was silent, so I had to go downstairs to the front desk. The hair dryer button was constantly broken, requiring me to turn it on and off dozens of times to dry my hair. When it did work, I had to dry it immediately, otherwise I'd have to press the button for too long. The air conditioner was so loud I had to use earplugs at night. There was a half-step from the bedroom to the bathroom, which was a real trip hazard. There were even gecko nests on the ceiling. It was truly unspeakable. Semporna was a small fishing village from the 1980s, and it was very backward. The standard of this guesthouse is understandable, but why was it charging over 600 per night in this condition? They also insisted on deducting a deposit of 200 Malaysian ringgit, which resulted in me having to keep the Malaysian ringgit when I checked out and returned home. They were also very mean and wrote down a compensation price list, which included bed sheets, pillows, hair dryers, etc., and there were no facilities in the room. They also spent a long time checking if there were any missing items in the room when I checked out. Who would take such things?

Let's talk about transportation first. It's far from the town. You have to take a taxi if you want to go there. Then, the accommodation is very bad. Those who bring children are asked to pay extra, but the extra money does not include any services. We don't know what the extra service is. The next day, the room was not even cleaned. The toiletries were placed where we used them. We called again to ask for them. There was not even toilet paper. It's speechless. Even the refrigerator was broken. I advise everyone not to stay here. The Peninsula next door is only more than 200 yuan. I don't understand why they are more than 700 yuan so expensive. Bad review.

If I were given another chance, I would choose to stay here for all three days in Sanben instead of changing for three days. First of all, this is the one with the most complete decoration and facilities. There is hotel service in the lobby, and the hotel also has electric car rental. The front desk lady is also very friendly and there is no problem with luggage storage. It is about 1km to the town, which is completely acceptable, and there is also a shuttle bus. The bedding is OK, the only thing is that the carpet is not very clean and there are a lot of hairs. There are no disposable slippers, so you can't go barefoot, but overall it is better than the resort of more than 1,000 yuan and the big hotel in the town.

Shuttle bus to the pier: You need to make an appointment in advance. We called to make an appointment and he agreed. He said he needed money, and we agreed. We waited for more than half an hour but he didn't come to pick us up. We went back to the hotel and asked the front desk. The front desk just said that the road was busy. We took a taxi back and didn't see many cars on the road. We got back in less than fifteen minutes. I don't know what happened. He didn't come to pick us up and didn't notify us! Environment: It's OK. There are no buildings nearby. It's very quiet. There is a night market downstairs and a bar and restaurant on the top floor. Facilities: The room is large and quite new

Response from Property: Dear, our hotel has recently recruited a lot of new employees, who are not very familiar with the business, and many of them are interns. In response to your feedback, we will also check our service process to ensure that our employees can provide thoughtful service. We are very sorry and will correct it in time!

The experience was very good. The breakfast was different every morning. I personally think it was delicious, and there was milk tea ice cream. The milk tea was really YYDS and delicious. I really liked the coconut in it. I didn't go to the restaurant on the 12th floor because I was afraid it would be expensive. After eating seafood, I basically ate instant noodles. I was not used to eating in town. I didn't expect that the food on the 12th floor of the hotel was so delicious, the portion was super large and not expensive. The service staff there were also very nice. A happy experience
