The location is about 1hr from kota kinabalu, sabah. Kayaked after 5pm, but the water was low the next morning. There's nothing to do and nothing to see at the homestay. Almost all body parts are cleaned with a shower head, I think it's gross. This chalet is amazing, it's a great place to relax and enjoy yourself. We ended up checking in late and checking out early. I liked the butter prawns and veggies.

This homestay is located in the heart of Semporna town, very close to the seafood market, supermarket, food stalls, and night market. There is a self-service kitchen and washing machine on the third floor, which is very convenient. What's more, the front desk lady speaks Chinese very well and is very attentive. Because I was sick with a fever, she took us to the clinic for injections. Thumbs up

Booked for only one night. Arrived at 1pm but can’t do early check-in as the room was not ready. Only managed to check-in at night as I was out running errands. Upon entering the room, it’s fully carpeted. Toilet is clean, shower strength is strong which is good. Place below has Chagee, convenient stores, restaurants which is a plus to me. Just opposite is the shopping mall Imago.
Down side:
1) when I flipped the bed sheet, there were stains on them. Had to flip the clean side to cover me.
2) in sufficient lights/ try to use white lights next time. I had to use my phone light to see any dirt on the bed.
3) sides of the bed is dirty, there were dusts, hairs around.
4) could not sleep well due to the road noise. Window was not very sound proof. Can hear cars passing by. Wasn’t too bothered by it since I’m only staying for one night.
Will I return? Maybe when I’m on a budget.

Overall i enjoy to stay at here. Near to Philippine Market. The room was cozy, spacious and best among the best is the view from the room. Nearby there is KK Plaza which you can buy some groceries at Servay Supermarket. Just a bit disappointed of the customer service the time i check where i asked to assist me to going down to the lobby after they asked me leave the card inside the room. They no even help me/ assist me to going down from floor 22 to lobby as u meed to scan the card inside the lift before enter the number of floor you wanted to go. After keep on waiting for some time luckily there is guest which also will going down to lobby in the lift, so i joined them.

JJunainah SariukSo far, for my one night stay, every aspect was excellent. The location of the hotel was strategic as I could go downstairs and roamed the mall, its also walking distance to Gaya Street. I was assigned to room 732. The furniture inside the room was functioning aside from the loud noise coming from the mini fridge, as I am a light sleeper, that bothers me a bit. The service is top notch, all the staff were friendly and accommodating to my needs. The breakfast was 5/5, they offer loads of variety 👍🏻. The only downside is that you need to wait awhile for the aircond to fully cool the room, around 15-20 minutes, I think they use central aircond from the lobby, but I'm not sure.

AAnonymous UserWater pressure for shower are good. I luv it.
Tks for Vina (FO) & Housekeeping team for their attentive & hospitality.
Few minus ;
1) Toilet bowl.. need to flush many times.. the smell of water like rotten rat.
2) More international movies and news (As I more staying in the room)
3) To add in plug points.
4) Safety - I am not sure whether have security at night.
Hope the management will do maintenance & Minor touch up too..
Overall Ok for staying at this hotel (RM117)

RRuthNCentral location with restaurants and market nearby, clean comfy bed with a small lamp, shelf and hangers. Especially liked the small but nice window beside the bed, it really makes the place more spacious and bright. A bit small common area and kitchen with basic utensils and a fridge available. Smooth check in/out, allow you to drop luggage before check in. Clean toilets but wish there was only 1 female toilet and 2 unisex bathrooms, so it can be inconvenient at times. Staff and the guests were all kind and friendly. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was that the hotel confirmed my special request to arrange lower bed, but when I arrived they said lower beds were fully booked and could only give me the higher one. However it's a minor issue and understandable, and I like that they care about their service as they send email to ask for feedback after the stay. Overall a really good bargain!

GGuest UserThe cover for the shower/toilet is not using a fully frosted door means you can see what people are doing inside of it. There is no lif and when we enter the room we were quite shocked that there was curtains but there were no windows. False hope. The girl in the counter also does not cater to our questions properly. It is encourage to improve you interactions with customers.
Also as suggestion to the hotel, please buy the coupon for the parking as the parking needs to be paid. Ease the matters for your travellers/stayers at your hotel. We bought the 10 tickets at the Majlis Perbandaran hut but we only used 1 coupon. When we went to visit other places, they did not used this coupon. We cannot buy only 1 ticket from the MPKK😅. What a waste of our time and money.
Another suggestion is do also provide 1 fridge for communal used as this hotel does not provide fridge inside the room. Thank you.

NNHFor the budget traveler this hotel is more than enough. They provide sea view from balcony and the capsule is not big and not small. Plus point they have lift so if you bring a luggage you'll be fine. They also provide women only room and locker for your luggage. The staff are so funny and helpful too you'll feel less lonely haha. I meet and talk to other soloist, very nice experience. The thing that you may notice they don't provide breakfast and you can't cook here. So be prepared to bring your own meals. Oh there is a washing machine inside but you need to pay for 8 pieces

MMdm.ELI already make booking 2 weeks from my trips, for RM120 from 17 - 19, when I checkback my flight will landing on 18/3 am. So I tried call to ask can i just book only 1 night and make early checking. The Staff said Yes, and just cancel booking then just make new booking from 18-19 only, okay. So I proceed as per advised. on 17 night, I called again to makesure i can do early checkin? Same the staff keep repeating Yes. Can do that. And when I arrived there bcs of delay and I was there around 3.30am and the door locked. I keep calling and thank God. Got female staff open the door and allowed us to checkin but need to pay RM90 per night, 😪😪😪. I told before this I already call confirm, she keep saying myb the new staff telling me like that..No choice I had to paid. Trrow morning, when I go out, the female staff called and give me back RM10, she said I just take only RM80. I dont know what was happened but very ridiculous. I know the hotel procedure that why I called to reconfirm. If cant make it just tell me cant make it. Its okay but no need to tell me Yes can but end up cant do!
