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...

The stay overall was satisfactory until the final day, when I encountered a couple of issues that caused significant inconvenience. On the night of my check-in, I requested an extra pillow as I have lower back pain. However, I ended up waiting for over an hour. When the staff finally came to explain, I was informed that the extra pillow had been given to another guest who had requested it after me. I found this to be unfair and disappointing, as my request was made earlier and for a genuine reason. To make matters worse, on the last day, when I had a flight to catch, there was a complete lack of water on the first floor. This unexpected situation disrupted my preparations and made it quite challenging to get ready for my journey. That being said, I really love the vibes here overall. Plus or minus, I will still consider coming back.

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)

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 !!

We came as family. The room is alright. Food at the restaurant is good. However, Wifi is quite poor. Overall, all is well. God bless.

The Customer service serve is good , fast respond and everything in details. Location is good can found Food nearby . But room is not fully clean there’s a little dust on the floor and table . What I’m not satisfied is there’s little blood stain on the bed sheet which the things can clean after wash and they charge me for that .

Comfortable place to stay and near mall. Easy to check in and check out

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

Low tide during our stay, definitely will repeat but only to get lagoon facing unit

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.

A delightful place for a night. We stayed in the jungle lodge which is spacious, clean and comfortable. Fabulous king size bed, good air conditioning and beautiful bathroom. The room overlooks the carpark and there was noise from dogs squabbling over food. However the hotel staff swiftly sorted that out. The hotel team was friendly and helpful but we did misunderstand about the opening hours for the pool. We also had to wait until the room was inspected before we got our deposit back! A quirky rule! A highlight was the restaurant. Our package allowed us to have an a la carte menu and it was one of the best meals of our Sabah trip. Equally good was the breakfast. Refreshing not to have the ubiquitous breakfast buffet! Overall a lovely place.

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...

Interesting place, interesting rooms but limited parking. Another thing is that I don't like a lot of dogs outside the fence and dog poop all over the place. There is also in the fence. Hope it can be controlled.... All the kids and wife like it. Satisfied swimming pool 🌟🌟🌟🌟

thank you to all staff for serving our family well..1000/100 for this villa because the service is the best and the price is very reasonable..next we will stay again when we come to Semporna..very recommed 👍🏻👍🏻

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.

Very satisfactory B&B Just opened, very new, very clean Rich breakfast The owner speaks Chinese, no communication barriers There is a special car to pick up when going to town, very fast, much more comfortable than in town Especially suitable for family outings, there is also a swimming pool to play in the evening Fireworks were set off during the Chinese New Year, which is really thoughtful It is the best choice to eat and drink in town

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!

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

We did not expect such a small private property of hotel with this cheap price can provide so lovely and clean room , room is super clean , not very big but enough for 2 person and with all basic equipment that u need , simple breakfast and helpful staff , everything is good , will come back again if have chance .

The location is very good, just near the Grace Seaview Hotel, close to the pier, Nanhai Fishing Village, Watsons, etc.! Whether you want to eat or take a boat, you can just walk there. The guy at the front desk basically doesn't speak Chinese, so communication is not very convenient. No one came to clean the house for four days... The facilities are average, with air conditioning and water heater. This price is already worth it. Don't ask for too much

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.

Maybe the conditions in Semporna are just like this. We arrived late that day and could only stay one night in the town. Overall, it was really average and the price was not cheap. It was more expensive than staying in Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu. It turned out to be the worst. First of all, the service staff was very nice and the Malays at the front desk could speak Chinese. Other aspects are hard to describe. There was a smell of cheap perfume in the hotel and a particularly strong smell of feet in the room. The sliding door to the balcony could not be locked. We found a maintenance person and he said it could not be repaired and would have to be repaired the next day. Then there was a main road outside the balcony. Roosters started crowing at four or five in the morning, and then there were all kinds of noisy noises. I opened the curtains and saw that there was actually a morning market with stalls set up along the street below.
