Semporna Hostels

Let me show you the boss’s kittens. I came to Semporna to compare many hotels. I decided to book this hotel one day in advance. The proprietress was very good. The room was very clean. Damn, the public stairs were reflective, and although in the town, it was absolutely safe. There is a door downstairs. There's a door upstairs, you can't get in without a card. In short, it is very recommended. I am very sad to leave today. I can't bear the proprietress here. The processing shop downstairs is very clean. The diving instructor is also very good. The staff on the yacht is also very good. Come back next year after the New Year hahaha

This was my second stay here. The hotel is located right on the street, about a ten-minute walk to the pier. The main reason I chose it was for the spacious rooms and great value for money. Traveling with kids, I particularly appreciated their triple room. The beds were large, the room was big, and the private bathroom was also spacious – overall, it felt very relaxing. There's a shared washing machine available, which is convenient for cleaning clothes after a day out at sea. For breakfast, they offer toast and jam downstairs, or you can cross the street to buy breakfast from the locals for a different experience. I forgot to take photos this time, but overall, it was great and worth trying.

I booked this hotel for a friend, and based on their feedback, the stay was very satisfying. The booking process was smooth, and the staff were friendly and helpful during check-in. The location is also convenient, whether for vacation or business. Thank you to the hotel team for the good service. I’d consider staying here myself in the future.

So glad I chose Alice Home! The Beijing boss is incredibly hospitable, and our remote communication was always pleasant and easy. He's super efficient! Their place was the most spacious and comfortable I found in Semporna for the same price point, and my kid even got to watch TV. The location is super convenient, close to the center and the jetty, and there are two highly-rated 4.8 Chinese and Western restaurants right outside. Plus, it's a rare quiet spot, and the entrance is well-lit. The island-hopping tour team recommended by the boss was also fantastic; they had a dedicated person accompanying my 5-year-old in the water, which made my child incredibly happy and me feel completely at ease. Next time I come, I'll definitely book in advance and only stay here! 🎉🏠

The room was clean, very clean. The air conditioner and bathroom were also very clean. Two people cleaned, and the sheets were changed immediately after each person left. The location is convenient for island hopping, about 800 meters away.

I arrived in Tawau at 3 PM, but the airport didn't allow overnight stays, so I had to head to Semporna three hours earlier. Coincidentally, the front desk staff that day didn't speak Chinese or English, so we communicated using a translation app. It went smoothly; they allowed us to rest in the lobby and use the public restrooms. They were really kind and friendly throughout. After daybreak, we left our luggage there and went island hopping. We checked in upon our return in the evening. The cleanliness was good, and I didn't find any mosquitoes. My only minor regret was not having a place to hang my washed clothes, but thankfully, summer clothes dry quickly. The location is great, with plenty of food and drink options downstairs, including restaurants and supermarkets. Overall, for the price, I was very satisfied. If I go back, I'd definitely consider staying here again. I forgot to take photos of the hotel, so I'll just use my island hopping pictures instead.

Great Location, Resraurant downstairs, supermarket nearby, 10mins walk to waterfront anf all the waterfront/ water sports attractions. Bed/warm showers OK. Room very small, just enough to walk in/out, no wardrobe, glass door opens outwards, thin walls, can hear noisy neighbours.

Pros: Conveniently located near the island-hopping pier, just a 10-minute walk away. They can also arrange affordable shared transfers to the airport. Cons: The facilities are very basic, but I suppose you get what you pay for. Breakfast was also extremely simple, offering only a few items: plain congee, bread, fried noodles or eggs, and rather cheap sausages. There were no fresh vegetables or fruit available at all.

I stayed at this hotel last night and was pleasantly surprised. Although the bathroom is shared, it was very clean and well-maintained. The room itself was also clean and comfortable, with a cold air-conditioner that made the stay even more pleasant. For the price, it’s definitely worth it. A great option for budget travelers looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay.

The room was clean and tidy, and the service from the front desk and logistics ladies was very good. The breakfast was simple, but there were staple meats, eggs and bread, and the staple meats were different for three days. There was a place on the balcony where you could wash your clothes by hand. It was a pity that there was no kettle, only one stool, and the hot water was relatively small.
