LANSE OCEAN SEAVIEW HOLIDAY HOTEL(Semporna store Chinese concierge)
"The room was quite spacious, and the bedding was very clean. A Starbucks is right downstairs, and the pier for diving boats is also just downstairs. This was really convenient for someone like me who prefers not to walk too much. Overall, it was pretty good."
PUDINA RESORT
"It's been a week since I returned from Semporna, but my heart is still lingering in the palm groves of Pudina Resort! I have to write down my thoughts while they're fresh, to give those who are planning to visit a reference. First, let's talk about the environment – it's truly unique! It's not like the typical overwater bungalows; instead, it's nestled within a forest of tall palm trees. As the car drove in, we instantly transitioned from the continuous road to a tranquil garden. Our individual cottage was hidden among the trees, offering excellent privacy. Initially, I was worried that these standalone cottages might be stuffy, have poor sound insulation, or attract insects. But I was pleasantly surprised! Excellent insulation and soundproofing: The housekeeper mentioned that the entire house is made of integrated steel-plastic material. The roof and wall materials are quite impressive; even with strong sun outside during the day, the room quickly cooled down with the AC on, with no stuffiness at all. It was incredibly quiet at night, with sound insulation exceeding expectations. I only heard the rustling of palm leaves in the wind (not ocean waves!), and even as a light sleeper, I could sleep soundly until morning. Extremely clean, zero insect disturbance: I must highly praise this point! I'm super afraid of bugs, but both the inside and outside of the cottage were meticulously maintained. The floors were perfectly fine for walking barefoot, the bathroom was dry with no trace of mold, and the screens were securely sealed. In my three-day stay, I genuinely didn't encounter any 'uninvited guests,' which is quite rare for a jungle environment. The service was thoughtfully subtle. Before check-in, the customer service reached out via WeChat and answered all our questions. What was most reassuring was our housekeeper, Jiayi. From arrival to departure, she was always available on WeChat for anything, and her responses were incredibly prompt, all in Chinese, which was such a relief! She wasn't just professionally polite; she was more like a local friend. She proactively reminded us that "the lights on the forest path are a bit dim at night, so you might want to bring a flashlight for a walk." When she saw us sunburnt after sea fishing, she brought us aloe vera gel and quietly had the kitchen send up two extra glasses of iced watermelon juice. These small, thoughtful gestures were truly heartwarming."
Larapan Water Village
"Excellent view, wonderful service, clean and cozy room, highly recommended"
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.
Anyu Pool Villa Resort
"The owner was great! When we arrived, we got a free room upgrade. The hotel is very new and clean. I accidentally left my DJI drone behind, and the owner was really helpful and sent it back to me. They took great care of it."
MONAlisa Guest House
"The 2nd room is too small. Need to walk up a staircase in order to access to the guest house. Should top up RM30 to stay at a hotel"
MEDAN BUNGA RAYA RESORT
"1. I stayed in Semporna B&B for several days. I chose this one for the last night. The result was beyond my imagination. I highly recommend it! 2. The check-in experience was very good. The Malays here all had smiles on their faces. They could also arrange free pick-up and drop-off for seafood purchases. There were also people who helped us bargain so we wouldn't be ripped off. After we bought it back, they cooked Chinese dishes according to Chinese tastes, which was great. 3. There is also an air-conditioned mahjong room open to us for free, and we can sing karaoke in the garden at night. I highly recommend Semporna Hibiscus Resort. Friends who see my comments in the future can come and try it."
Soon Tat Hotel Sdn Bhd
"Cleanliness: Very clean, the owner is friendly."
Chan Living
"It was perfect, 2 pools, great vibe, very helpful owner. Highly recommended, especially if you don't want to stay in a city center (which is not that nice)"

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."
Together Palm Resort
"This hotel experience is top-notch in this area! The front desk staff were warm and efficient, and check-in was incredibly fast. The room was large and very clean, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. I saw the staff member (likely referring to the cleaning staff) changing sheets and cleaning the room, and the night view was absolutely stunning. There's a wide activity area with complete resort facilities, including many loungers, swings, and small gazebos. Wi-Fi is available everywhere. They have a butler who speaks Chinese and offer scheduled shuttle services. The breakfast spread was rich and tasted pretty good, and the seafood in the a la carte menu was fresh and flavorful. The hotel's design is unique, with beautiful garden landscaping and an elegant environment, perfect for photos at every turn. Five-star rating! I'll definitely bring my family back next time~"
Starz Water Village
"From the moment I placed the order, customer service representative Xiao Min provided one-on-one support. Everything was arranged meticulously, and the guide was very detailed, so I never had to worry about getting lost or going the wrong way. I also received timely reminders at every step, truly experiencing a butler-style service. The overwater bungalow's location was good. It was a bit further from the pier, which was perfect because bungalows too close to the pier can have issues with trash in the water. Here, you could directly see the coral and small fish on the seabed – there were so many fish! Snorkeling was excellent, and we even saw sea turtles. The local staff were all very friendly, and the evenings were lively with them playing guitar and singing. The overwater bungalow was newly built and clean. They even set up a simple extra bed for our child, which was a nice touch! The facilities were decent, considering it's over the water. But the views were unbeatable – lying there watching the sunset and seeing fish and starfish in the water below was absolutely beautiful."
Mr Bean Holiday Semporna
"The best part about this homestay is its genuine hospitality. The owner helped us book a transfer from the airport to the guesthouse, and then provided seamless transportation to the jetty and town, which was a huge relief given the transportation challenges in Semporna. Plus, the seafood prepared by the owner had a delicious Chinese flavor!"
Orange Wave
"Staying in the overwater bungalow truly exceeded all my expectations – it was the most memorable experience of the entire trip! The bungalow's location is superb, and the room facilities are complete, clean, and tidy. The huge private terrace really elevated the experience. You can lie in bed and look directly out at the beautiful gradient of blue ocean. From your private stairs, you can easily go snorkeling in the sea anytime. The water quality is crystal clear, and the underwater scenery is breathtaking. You can spend the whole day relaxing with the gentle sea breeze and the sound of waves. The service was attentive and thoughtful, making for a quiet and healing stay. It's highly recommended – if you come here, you absolutely must experience an overwater bungalow; it's definitely worth the trip!"
Semporna Lighthouse Hotel
"Nice hotel, spacious for big family..near to other location.."
Moana Water Village Semporna
"Very good experience at the water villa, had a wonderful 2 nights there"
Mabul Water Bungalows
"We had a great time. People are friendly. Dinner was nice. Very easy to strike up conversations with strangers. We bought abalone (and fish, too!) from the local fishermen. A Chinese family treated us to fish at dinner. Divemaster Haris was super helpful. We travel from KL and would come back here again for vacation."
Seafest REGENCY
"Good value for money. Location is strategic & easy to find food nearby shop. Staff was good and friendly. Recommended hotel for family trip."
Seafest Hotel
Located near Semporna’s waterfront, this hotel offers a convenient stay, keeping you close to 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."
