Homestays in Sabah, Malaysia

clean place and location in the center of town. parking is easy even though it is quiet. very simple. even the walls are polywood, you can hear voices from the next room....there are only towels and beds. if you want to stay overnight, make sure you bring your own mirror.. hehe... but it's okay to stay temporarily.... The toilet is clean...

its only 6mins distance from airport to grapevine garden by grab👍 hotel is accept early check in Rm10/hour btw the following check in time at 2pm. very suitable for the transit time more than 5-8 hours、its a nice place to take a good rest check out by yourself anytime，juz drop the key in the basket which prepare on the table at front desk👍 free and easy👍will be back here again👍

The time management is very poor,the sign they put 8 o'clock sharp but they open at 8:35 o'clock..and then they don't provide a broom for the homestay,the plate supply is not enogh ..they also didn't clean the homestay during check in we can see oreo crumbs on the bed..the worst part when people who use the QR to deposits ,they will not Pay directly ,from 11 o'clock check out until now the deposits is still not being refund. ( 7.10pm)

It has both pros and cons as well. As for the pro, the resort was quite strategic to some tourist spots like Kinabalu park it's just nearby which is about 3min drive only. Most importantly it has a beautiful view of the mount from the stay place. The staffs were friendly and able to provide an alternative menu to our vegetarian food on 1st day which was a big relief to us. As for the cons we had some insects at night/early morning (bees)in the room. Otherwise the place was pleasant enough during our stay. Thank you.

We drove to Mount Kinabalu for 2 nights stay at the 1) Peak Lodge 1 & 2 , 2) Summit Lodge & 3) Garden Lodge. The accomodations are comfortable, niece ambience with fire place ,has slow or no wifi connection at all. Some improvement needed in Housekeeping cleaning. Shower room in Summit Lodge flooding as the floor trap was filled with dirt & hair. Shower room wall tiles are dirty. Awesome view of the Mount Kinabalu from our Lodges. Breakfast is at Liwagu Restaurant , it serves Asian Buffet. Dinner is Ala-Carte , food and service are good. For activities , around the Park , we make visit to the Botanical Garden and Poring Hot Spring and make a further drive down to Desa Dairy Farm at Kundasang. All in all it was a relaxing stay !!

Fit to price. However a bit disappointed during check in I informed the staff that we request early breakfast at 7.00am (which was serve at 8.00am) but denied our request. However, the check out staff was very nice, she gave us take away coffee and her own bun. Thank you so much to that lady. Recommended to book sea view room.

nice place to stay. convenient, have restaurant nearby. a lot of parking space. many attractive place to visit nearby.

An apartment-style room very close to a large shopping mall, but you still have to grab a Grab to get to the busiest Gaya Street or any other attractions. The room was big enough and looked quite new. Even when we arrived after 2 o'clock, they said the room had not been cleaned well. The bath water was very small and the security seemed to be average. There was only one card-swipe glass door on the floor, and the door could not be locked from the inside. The overall price/performance ratio is still high.

Very nice places, colourful container style hotel room. Room slightly small but fully equipped, Hotel staff very friendly

We loved our time at the springs and Sutera Lodges - it was super comfortable and clean and the staff were attentive and friendly. Being at the springs was relaxing and really enjoyable. The restaurant had a good variety at reasonable prices .

Nice place to stay. Location is strategic.

The unit itself is ok. Great location, great service, check in and check out is smooth. But the lift of building itself can get very congested, long waiting time and always full.

The room is very clean. The boss speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and Malay. He answers all questions, so communication is smooth. The boss helped us sign up for a one-day snorkeling tour, which is economical and affordable. The boss also provides free pick-up and drop-off at the pier. Next time I go to Semporna, I will choose this homestay again😁

The boss is very nice. He always takes the initiative to contact us every time we come back from the sea, and arranges the pick-up and drop-off in time. You can buy the sea trip from the boss, and the boss arranges it very well, without any trouble, and communicates directly with the driver. Especially the Mataking scuba diving is very worthwhile, cheaper than buying it on Ctrip. It is relatively quiet at night, and you can hear the sound of frogs 😂. The airport pick-up and drop-off arrangement is also good. In short, although it is tiring to go out to sea every day in Semporna, it is not annoying, and I also took a picture of a rainbow in the courtyard

Stay here a night before flight next day back to KL. Surrounding is quite deserted so if alone just becareful. Front desk is friendly. Its a budget hotel so quite reasonably humble. Good for short stay prior flight the next day

This is the only holiday home that we stayed and miss it even after we come home. Very clean room and beddings. The room we booked has an additional door that opens to the back corridor, and there are hangers for drying clothes which comes very useful especially after a day trip island hopping. There is a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals. The tv at the hall makes the place very homey. Location is only a few steps to the jetty, and eatery places, pharmacy and 7-11 all nearby. Highly recommend Juno's Place.

The room was very clean and tidy, with hot water. There was also a laundry room which was very convenient. The location was very good, very close to the tourist pier, which made it very convenient for us to island hop in the morning and come back. The boss was very nice. I forgot my bag at the hotel, and the boss helped arrange a driver to bring it back. Highly recommended!

I don’t recommend choosing this hotel, the location is too remote. It is about 800 meters away from the lively area of ​​the town and far away from convenience stores, laundries and restaurants, which is very inconvenient. Most dive shops are at the pier, about 1.2km away. It's not very far to walk there, but there are no sidewalks on the road and there are a lot of cars, so you have to walk in the mud next to the road, which makes it very dirty. There are also a lot of mosquitoes on the road. The store has a car delivered to the pier every day, but the time and location are fixed. The dive shop I chose is not at the pier, so I didn't use it. I have seen several other hotels with similar prices before, some of which are more conveniently located and have in-room toilets. The bathroom and toilet are shared and it is not convenient to go to the toilet at night. The toilet is quite dirty. The dirt on the toilet seat is so serious that it cannot be wiped off with paper towels. At the same time, there are many mosquitoes when going to the toilet. The water pressure in the shower is also very low, and there is no cold water if there are other people taking a shower nearby. There is only one bed in the room and no other facilities. The hygiene situation is okay and the bed is relatively clean. There is a small balcony, but the balcony door is broken and cannot be opened. The only thing worth mentioning is that the bed is very comfortable, it seems to be a latex mattress. In addition, my room was close to the outside and the window faced the road. People passing by the bus can see directly inside, and the noise is very loud. Every night I wear noise-canceling headphones to fall asleep.

I booked a hotel with my friends on the spur of the moment. The guy in the store speaks really good Chinese, without even an accent. You can cook and wash clothes in the store, and there is a small rooftop where you can watch the stars. You can also book an island hopping trip, and you can use your local advantage to help bargain at the seafood market, and you can also process seafood. When we came back from the beach on our last day, it was past the check-out time, but the guy in the store helped us store our luggage and found a room for us to take a shower before leaving. The most important thing is! We left for the airport at 7pm, and the carpool driver we found said that we could only have a carpool if we left before 6pm, and we had to charter a car at 7pm, but Xiaocheng helped us get a carpool price for 7pm, saving 100 MYR!

A single-family cabin. The owner can speak Chinese. There is free shuttle service between the hotel and the pier. Airport shuttle service is charged. It is far from the airport, about an hour's drive away, and the car is very fast, and there is no traffic jam. Breakfast was not included, but the owner still provided bread and eggs. It is not convenient to eat breakfast around. It is very convenient to go out to eat on the roadside at night. It takes about 5 minutes to walk. There are two restaurants at the intersection. Everyone says that the left turn is delicious. The bathroom is simple, and there are many cats in the yard.

😃Very clean and newly renovated thesedays. Perfect location for travellers, divers, especially who love island because warisan is located just near to jetty. Easy to access restaurants, convenience store, drug store like watsons and guardian, so it was super convenient for me when I wanted to buy sunscreen etc. Near here lots of chinese, malay restaurants. there were one hair dryer and mini freezer in the room. There were tables and chairs in common balcony area. Highly recommended. 위치가 정말 좋았어요! 제티 바로 근처!! 주변에 왓슨이나 편의점가기도 편했고 최근에 침대도 시설도 새로 하셨는지 깔끔했어요. 섬 놀러가기에 이가격에 가성비 좋은 곳!! 방 안에 드라이기도 있고 미니냉장고도 있었어요. 윗층 발코니쪽에 앉을 테이블과 의자도 있어서 밤에 잠깐 바람쐬기도 편했구요. 세븐일레븐이 코앞에 있어서 늦게까지 간식 사러 갈 수 있는 것도 좋았어요.
