Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort ★★★★★
"The room was incredibly spacious with great views of many fish – the 'jellyfish sea' certainly lives up to its name! The balcony was huge. We stayed in the new room type, 71, which had two beds and a large bathroom with a bathtub. The only downside was some noise from ongoing renovations outside, but everything else was absolutely perfect. I'd definitely go back!"
Seafest REGENCY ★★★★★
"Perfect location to stay with family. My son enjoy the seaview, kids playroom, enjoy the pool & love the food! I give only 4/5 for cleanliness because the floor for balcony outside very dusty."
Seafest Hotel ★★★★
Located near Semporna’s waterfront, this hotel offers a convenient stay! You'll be perfectly positioned near the jetty, seafood restaurants, shops, and island-hopping tours.
POM POM Island Resort ★★★★
"The environment is absolutely fantastic, no doubt about that, it's just that the facilities are indeed old. The buffet taste is decent, acceptable. Another thing is that you can't access the sea directly from your room."
Wing Tat Grand Hotel ★★★
"This is a really good hotel for the town, especially regarding its overall environment. There's a popular shop conveniently located right downstairs, which is a nice bonus. Plus, the pier's meeting point is just about a 10-minute walk away. It definitely surpassed my expectations for its setting!"
LANSE OCEAN SEAVIEW HOLIDAY HOTEL(Semporna store Chinese concierge) ★★★
"This hotel is more like a hostel. The front desk is tiny, and the conditions, facilities, and service are on par with a budget motel. The worst part was the breakfast; aside from eggs, bread, and plain congee, there was hardly anything else to eat. Even if the hardware can't be changed, for a several-hundred-dollar room rate, couldn't they offer a better breakfast? I can only say the owner is incredibly greedy! It truly doesn't justify the 900+ per night price! To be fair, the room hygiene was decent. If the room rate was 300, these conditions would be acceptable, but for a star-rated hotel price, it's completely misleading and infuriating!"
Semporna Lighthouse Hotel ★★★
"This is one of the better hotels in Semporna. It's clean and hygienic, which is great, and very close to the jetty for island hopping. The front desk staff were also very welcoming and enthusiastic."
SKY Water Villas ★★★★
"Perfect stay, unforgettable 3 nights and very nice staff! Bathrooms to be improved and maybe an idea to have paid service for drinks. Really delicious and diversified food for all tastes."
Grace Samudera Hotel ★★★
"The hotel location is good and the scenery is nice, with sea views from the window. The downside is that the pillows and sheets felt a bit damp and had a smell like they hadn't been dried properly."

Anyu Villa Resort
"Great value for money! The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the pier, which makes it very convenient for island hopping. There are also convenience stores nearby. Plus, it's only about a 10-minute walk to the seafood market. The owner is a very straightforward and friendly guy from Northeast China. We even bought some seafood ourselves and the hotel was able to cook it for us. I'll definitely recommend this place to my friends when they visit next time."
Starz Water Village
"Five-star review! The room has air conditioning and hot showers. I recommend bringing some snacks to the overwater bungalows; there's hot water in the canteen if you want to make instant noodles. The customer service was thoughtful and warm-hearted. The scenery is fantastic for photos, morning or night."
Nusakuya Resort
"A magnificent experience. A simple, clean hotel in an exceptional location. The best sunset I've ever seen. A local hotel, with no entertainment for foreigners, which was appreciated. We were able to enjoy karaoke with other Malaysian guests. Perfect if you want to relax. Local food, especially fish and crabs in the evening. The water is crystal clear and you can see fish, even turtles. There's no coral. Perfect if you want peace and quiet in a simple place to rest. You can buy lobster or seafood from fishermen who come ashore and they'll cook it for you at the hotel. We went snorkeling and saw many coral fish, including Nemo. Good guides."
Mabul Water Bungalows
"Amazing place. Great value"
Arcadia Beach Resort
"The hotel is located on a small island, with free boat transfers, a quiet environment, buffet meals, a swimming pool for diving, and island hopping with a handsome young man to accompany you for photos and snorkeling. A fantastic vacation! 👍🏻"
Banyan Tree Villa Hotel
"Clean and tidy, the room and facilities had everything you need"
Amber Villa
"I was really disappointed with this hotel experience. (The staff were very friendly, but the hotel facilities and soundproofing were poor.) The bathroom facilities were extremely basic, and the overall room amenities felt cheap and ordinary. Perhaps due to the materials used in the renovations, you could hear everything going on upstairs. This definitely needs improvement, especially considering it costs 700 RMB per night. "
Chan Living
"nice place…we enjoying stay here…"
Amber House
"1️⃣ The location is about 1.2km from the pier, a 20-minute walk or a hotel shuttle bus. However, the road there is very bad, with no sidewalks, making it somewhat dangerous at night. 2️⃣ The hotel is located in a courtyard. Check-in and hotel staff all work in the courtyard. If someone is talking outside, you can hear them inside, as there is virtually no soundproofing. Similarly, conversations inside can be heard by passersby outside. Those seeking privacy and quiet should think twice. 3️⃣ The rooms are very basic. There are no curtains, only Roman blinds. The bathroom doesn't even have curtains. 😰 If you stay on the first floor, there's practically no privacy at night. Why didn't they even bother with curtains? It's really unpleasant. 4️⃣ It's very noisy at night. There are all sorts of insect and bird chirps, motorcycles passing by, and a constant, inexplicable mechanical humming outside my room. It was incredibly noisy. Then, at 4 AM, they started chanting prayers through a loudspeaker next door. I basically spent the whole night surrounded by noise; it was torture! 😩 5️⃣ Breakfast was just an egg and a bowl of noodles. After that, you could go island hopping. In short, I wouldn't recommend staying here at this price. It's just too noisy. The most important thing about staying in a hotel is rest, and the room lacks privacy without curtains. It rains frequently here, and there's a musty, watery smell on the first floor. It's a very average hotel, not worth the price. Personally, I think if you're going to be noisy anyway, you might as well stay near the pier."
Anggun Lodge Private Room with Sharing Bathroom
"Very passionate and gentle"
Sagittarius Resort
"The overall appearance and environment are quite good, and the air conditioning and fan were more powerful than expected. However, the bathroom facilities and food need improvement. You should definitely try all the complimentary activities; just be sure to communicate your preferences. A special shout-out to the slimmer, quieter guy who was great at snorkeling, and the guy who used a DJI drone for filming."
Borneo Divers Mabul Resort
"The premises are clean, both on and off shore. The diving center is spacious and tidy, with your personal items organized and stored nicely. Dive instructors always brought us to the most photogenic sites on Mabul island and Sipadan. The food was also great as well. The front desk staff are also very friendly and helpful. I have lost my action camera in the sea and I needed to file a police report for the missing camera to get reimbursed by my travel insurance company. The resort arranged transport from Mabul island to a police station in Semporna as well as a staff member to communicate with local authorities. In the end my claim was reimbursed and I am thankful for the staff."
