Memory Boutique Hotel ★★
"Terrible. The room was tiny, stuffy, and had a strong mix of musty and sewage smells. The bed sheets were dirty. When I asked for them to be changed, I was told the cleaning staff had already left for the day, and changing rooms wasn't an option either. Eventually, they just gave me a new sheet to change myself. After diving, all our clothes were wet, and there was nowhere to hang them to dry. The room was so small we couldn't even open our luggage."
LANSE OCEAN SEAVIEW HOLIDAY HOTEL(Semporna store Chinese concierge) ★★★
"Good location but the shower head and the makeup table already spoil. Shower 🚿 also rusty. No well maintenance. But the location quite convenience"
Wing Tat Grand Hotel ★★★
"Ok to stay, good, cold, normal Ok to stay, good, cold, normal hotel,"
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."
Grand Luxury Hotel Semporna ★★★
"Great location. Good value for money."
Pacific Inn, Semporna ★★★
"It was okay, nothing special. The facilities were just passable."
Cube Bed Station & Tours Sdn Bhd ★★
"The room had a great sea view and a good location. It wasn't dirty, just a bit small, but that's fine as it still felt quite comfortable. For the price, it's pretty good."
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. "
The Firefly Resort Semporna ★★★
Situated in Semporna, this resort offers a peaceful retreat with relaxed surroundings and convenient access to town facilities and island-hopping routes.

The Nest Hostel Semporna
"The room was clean and tidy, and the owner was very warm and friendly. Unfortunately, I could only book one night. If I come to Semporna again, I will definitely book with them. It's also close to the pier, which is very convenient."
Kaia Suite Hotel
"So nice"
Luna Capsule
"The room on the first floor was damp and humid, the bedding was very poor and uncomfortable, the sanitary conditions were average, the front desk was facing the room door, but no one was there, the overall experience was very bad"
Aranya Seaview Inn 1
"The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Its location near the seafood market makes it convenient for getting around. There's a Watsons, BaWangChaJi, and many restaurants close by."
Pearl Island Resort
"Mediocre at best, definitely not worth the price. 1. First off, the room was incredibly hot. Even with the AC on, the temperature wouldn't drop. 2. Secondly, for a hotel costing over 4000, the bathroom facilities were subpar. They even had a 2-in-1 shampoo/body wash (something I've only seen in hotels under 300). 3. The restaurant staff's attitude was very average. I had just come out of the water and was in the lobby when a server rolled her eyes and, in a scolding tone, told me "no wet." It felt like I owed her something. 4. This island is quite boring. The only free activity is swimming and snorkeling, but you have to go to the pier to do it. There's no direct water access from the room. After swimming, you have to walk an extremely long distance back to your room, which is quite a hassle. 5. The food was also mediocre. No fancy seafood feasts or anything; the most expensive seafood they offered was fried shrimp. 6. Overall, the service level was very average, feeling more like a budget motel. The only highlight was the snorkeling instructor, who was very nice."
Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort
"First, we gathered at the jetty, and then the second picture shows the bus taking us back to Tawau Airport from Semporna. It was fantastic; I'm so glad I chose this. The value of this long-standing five-star hotel keeps increasing. The service was excellent, and extra meals were served promptly. The buggy service was also very quick. The underwater scenery was even more vibrant and colorful. The sunset was also beautiful. There were so many sea turtles, we encountered them everywhere, along with manta rays and various schools of fish. It was breathtaking. I'll definitely go again if I have the chance. I've already recommended it to my friends!"
SKY Resort Timbun Mata & Reef, Semporna
"The water is very clear, there are a lot of small fish, it is very clean, and the room is very large. However, when I explain the port address to the customer service or lobby manager, their internal communication is inconsistent."
Mabul Water Bungalows
"Privacy is average, service needs to be improved"
Chan Living
"The price was decent, and the environment was alright. It's about a twenty-minute drive from the pier. They offer one free shuttle service from the hotel to the pier, which is nice. However, the soundproofing isn't great; when someone walked outside, my bed actually shook. Also, if you go to breakfast a bit late, there's nothing left."
BOX INN SEMPORNA
"Great hotel - good location and a nice room. Would recommend!"
The Buwan Dive Resort
"A wonderful clean hotel for divers. Not suitable for ordinary tourists, because the beach is not well maintained, access to the sea is only from the pier."
Semporna Lighthouse Hotel
"The first room I was given was really bad and old. I was actually planning on changing hotels and contacted Trip.com. After that, the hotel gave me a much nicer room, so I ended up staying for five days. Semporna is still beautiful though!"
Anggun Lodge Private Room with Sharing Bathroom
"Very good, the boss is nice"
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.
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."
POM POM Island Resort
"The kids had a great time."
