Homestays in Sabah, Malaysia

Seriously!!! The room is tremendously clean and tidy. It's that feeling of being home even if you're far away from your own home. I must say it's very convenient to move around to the city, e-hailing is easy to get. Food is only a touch away on our phone. A wide selection from nearby restaurants. Well no complaints as i have a good night's rest before our flight.. by the way, the airport is only a walking distance if you love to have a walk .. just a suggestion for backpackers

View hotel lawa, comfortable, cool, I like it, thank you, but next time prepare a spoon hahaha, the TV is not on, but xpelah, just come to eat, right?

This nature mangrove homestay 1 i like this environment living in mangrove water house, in the morning there's many kind of birds wake me up I felt like so close to the nature 2 the room also comfortable, just the toilet too small 3 service I give 5star service Room amenities more than the price Overall I have good stay

Service excellent, near to imago shopping mall.

+ like the quietness & peace + has parking, air-con, hot shower + clean toilet, towels + provides toiletries but no toothpaste & toothbrush, kettle, glasses, mugs, packets drinks & bottled drink water, tissues, iron, iron board + high pressure water + near to a road, might easy to get public transport - cleanliness of the floor, pillowcases & furniture need to be upgraded - air-con in the room produces a noisy sound - so so quality of mattress - torn laminated floor maybe needs make over

our view from this room! worth my money. will stay here again for sure! 😍🤍

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 revisited the property because of the location just a week apart. First time the price was rm100, then a week after that rm135 including breakfast. They do not have option to exclude the breakfast. When I inquired about the breakfast, the front desk showed me their menu with wide range of breakfast but the next morning, we were given a coupon to tick one of 5 choices, 2 of which were not available. Choices were bad, food was bad, all in all - rm35 breakfast for 2 was not worth it. You could find a better tasting options in the town which is just a walking distance. They will ask for deposit. First time, the deposit was rm50, then they increased it to rm100 a week later. So, I am not sure how long this review will stand correct when it comes to the amount of deposit they actually required. Telephone was not working (which they change for us), TV was not working (which they couldn't do much because they haven't applied for Astro), room slightly dusty, flooring makes sound when you walk, so you might need to tiptoe if someone is sleeping, the garden table at the balcony could be hazardous simply because they failed to adhere to the law of physics, and when you thought it couldn't go worse, the next day we had a very noisy guests with kids running and shouting as early as 6am in the morning. Apart of the location, I don't think I would rate this property as good value for the money.

Good view but for view Mount Kinabalu can see cause our room facing Kundasang. No place also to view Mount Kinabalu because blocked by hills.

Beautiful stay with an atmosphere where the room is complete. Lovely comfortable bed, mosquito net, clean linen and air conditioning. The breakfast is very limited and not a must have to look forward to, which is a shame because it really completes your stay. Can they still improve? You pay more for each extra; yoga, water, etc. While if you order à la carte the food is delicious. The swimming pool is clean, the temperature of the surrounding area is not really cooling, but our kids had a great time in it. Enough beds around it. We were here because the rest around it was fully booked. In terms of price/quality ratio, I thought it was less and you don't have to be here in terms of extra luxury for what you pay. Too bad because with all the finishing touches, this would really be highly recommended! Perhaps too critical and by Malaysia standards this is a luxury :) The staff is super friendly, can sing well and is always willing to help you.

Good view but for view Mount Kinabalu can see cause our room facing Kundasang. No place also to view Mount Kinabalu because blocked by hills.

In terms of appearance, it is hard not to be moved! The room is fresh and clean, the visual effect is bright, the staff is warm and thoughtful, the hotel environment is good, and the service is in place.

I stayed here for more than 10 days for diving. The location is moderate, about 5.6 minutes away from the pier of Feima Hotel. There is heavy traffic during the day, but it is very quiet at night. The room is clean and you can directly see the sea and the newly built mosque next to it. There is a washing machine and you can wash your own clothes. If you find it troublesome, you can pay the staff 5 yuan to help wash and dry them. There is also a kitchen where you can cook your own meals if you are interested.

Clean and hygienic environment

My friend and me booked 2 rooms in total and stayed 4 nights in. Opposite 7 inn there is Basar malam, a Mcdonald, a cafe opposite and a gas station with mini mart, living here is convenient. However it’s a bit far to the harbour by 1km. So, they provide free transport to any potion of the town area, just WhatsApp the driver and he always turn up to pick up us on time! We called at least 5 times of pick up service as considering 7 inn was around 1km from harbour that every excursion starts so by walking it will be 10-15 mins. The container room is spacious with a lovely balcony with 2 chairs. Shared toilet and shower is located at each storey and with like 3 showers and 3 WCs. Bed is spacious and with good pillow and mattress always make me fall asleep easily. In general, I do appreciate 7 inn although I did not encounter many tourists during my stay due to Covid and the entire semporna looks still not yet recovered to before. By the way, 7 inn do not provide drying cloth service but they will send you to a nearby laundry to do washing and drying if you need it. This is very important as our clothes are unable to dry up during our entire stay although 2 of the 4 days are sunny day…

Probably one of the best guesthouses in Semporna area. Jono's place is strategically located near the jetty and restaurant area. Almost everything is walking distance. Pharmacies, dive centres, convenience stores, restaurants and etc. The place itself is so clean and tidy. Can see that the owner puts a lot of effort in maintaining the place. The guesthouse has a well equipped pantry. It has instant noodles, bread biscuits, eggs, tea and coffee. It's more than good enough for a simple breakfast. I highly recommend this place.

Thank you for your lovely services. The staff very friendly and kind to the all of guests. Guest will come again next time

😃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.

I live on the third floor, and the stairs are quite high, which is very unfriendly to girls carrying suitcases! The sound insulation is very poor, you can hear a cough from the neighbor next door, it was just in time for rain when you checked in, so it was so noisy that I couldn't sleep! There was no hot water for some reason. The staff got off work after 9:00 p.m., and they couldn’t answer the phone. After diving, they couldn’t even take a shower. The whole person was going crazy! Originally, I felt that it was okay by looking at the pictures, but it turned out that it was not even okay! Not recommended! Booked for two consecutive nights, communicated with Ctrip customer service, and refunded the second night! Ctrip customer service is quite satisfactory, it is my motivation to continue to use Ctrip, very good!

Pros- Location is near the jetty. supermarkets, watsons are nearby walking distance. As you walked through the main entrance its like a different world. Love the main lobby area where there's arcade games, pool table, a movie area with bean bags. Breakfast spread is simple but good enough. Rooms deco as shown in photos. Cons - Hot shower was inconsistent. Need to wait for a while till its warm. And its not very hot. Room not very clean. Soundproofing not that great. If you're a light sleeper maybe not a good option.

The hotel was overbooked and we couldn't stay on the first day. The service staff arranged for us to stay elsewhere. It was almost 9 o'clock in the evening and we had to drag two suitcases several blocks away and carry them upstairs. It felt very bad. .

View hotel lawa, comfortable, cool, I like it, thank you, but next time prepare a spoon hahaha, the TV is not on, but xpelah, just come to eat, right?

+ next to Poring hot springs + peaceful and quiet where could hear the nature's sounds (insects, river flows) especially at night which I love + warm welcome by receptionist and staff at the office when I arrived, the receptionist did a very informative briefing about the place which was very useful + comfortable bed, pillows, blanket & towels + a staff escorted to the room + had toiletries, kettle, glasses, mugs, TV, side lamps, hair dryer, Astro, jug, air-con, water heater, fan, toilet slippers, tissue paper and eco-friendly water refill bottle in the room + has parking + helpful 'WhatsApp' staff + room was cold even though the air-con/fan was not switch on + has stalls, shops and restaurants nearby + clear TV reception + has filtered water station for guests - would be great if all staff are warm, greet everyone - limited choice of breakfast (6 menus), this could be understandable since not so many units of accomodations are offered here but the management might do 'menu rotation'? Just a thought - the breakfast is pricey for ala carte and needs to be improved on the taste - I asked for room service for the breakfast - no coffee/tea came with it, only a juice and no bread for American breakfast. With a price range between RM45 - RM60, I think it would be better. - water on the bathroom floor didn't flow well into the drain - no second key inside the room at the door - no iron and its board, mini refrigerator in the room - the walkway is dark, no lamps - would be wonderful if the room's outdoor furniture cleanliness can be upgraded

The location is easy to find..just in front of the road...the breathtaking view of akinabalu early in the morning....good service from the staff..cleanliness needs to be improved (the toilet slippers may need to be changed as they look unclean)..Amenities...ok only the kettle we use sometimes turns on and is often difficult to press. There is only one bright room light and WATER SUPPLY... this morning I was only able to wash my face with 7 people staying in a room with no water...

This places very cool then we can see the clouds from our sides room in the morning… the view very nice… their staff very friendly… thank you Sunrise Recreaction hotel… till we meet again… nice places and nice view…

The service,accommodation,cleaners that was so so so good We stayed here, with a magnificent sunrise view of the hills & misty jungle-covered mountain range. Clean room and friendly staff. Basic facilities. Reasonably priced. Its nice to spend our vacation here. Enjoyed.

We spent a delightful three days here, enjoying the comforts of Room 5B with our family. Situated strategically on elevated terrain, the residence boasts a prime location. The rooms are comfortable, complete with amenities such as water heaters. Notably, the bathrooms are impeccably clean. One of the highlights is the expansive balcony area outside each room, perfect for leisurely hangouts and family bonding sessions. Equipped with tables and chairs, it offers an ideal spot to unwind, savor the stunning hill views, and relish the refreshing breeze while indulging a cuppa.
