I have this bed bug bites everywhere on my arms and legs. This is the worst place to stay. I just stayed for a day and i am itchy everywhere. The room floor was ripping apart…. The staff are nice and they do clean the place but still the place is a shithole.
Response from Property: Hello dear , this is very common if you were in the river before come to our lovely hostel. Everybody were fine , you are the only one having that itchy. My personalk advice for you , keep clean your body , take a bath atleast once per day and keep your body smell good

A very traditional youth hostel and backpacker's inn, with mixed male and female rooms, and backpackers from all over the world. The overall environment is relatively clean and tidy.

Paying in-store is cheaper than Ctrip hahaha. Try to go to the store and book directly. The room has a bit of smell and the environment is average. If you don’t learn how to dive in Semporna, don’t come here.

I like it very much. The boss is very nice and can speak English and Chinese, so communication is relatively easy. I stayed there for two nights while diving and it was very nice! Service: There is a local girl, and she is very nice and talkative, but she only speaks English. Breakfast is provided, I'm not sure if lunch is provided, but the breakfast is delicious and there is unlimited tea, drinks and snacks. The boss lady also taught me how to wash clothes. To catch a flight in the morning, the boss also hired a chartered car. The driver's car smells great. Environment: The environment is relatively clean in Semporna, and there are some food and clothes sellers around. Facilities: There is air conditioning, which is very good. There was no air conditioning when I was in Indonesia! Then I met a lot of friends in the hotel, and they were all very nice. For example, the Chinese are all young people from all walks of life. In addition, there are two foreign ladies living with me, one is Finnish and the other is British German. I personally feel that I learned from communicating with them and felt the collision of different ideas.

The Hostel located in the city is quite satisfactory, with good service and average facilities! You can meet a lot of friends and go together 👍 Apart from going out to the seafood market in town to buy seafood and find restaurants for processing, there are no other good activities, mainly going out to sea!

In the town of Semporna, this kind of youth hostel has a very good environment and atmosphere, and also includes breakfast. I met a lot of friends here and it was a very happy stay.

The breakfast is rich, although I think the bread is the most delicious. There is a washing machine for washing clothes, and the facilities are okay. Although I don’t have my own travel cabinet, this should be a very cost-effective youth hostel in the local area.

A very satisfying stay! When I arrived at the hotel, there was only one upper berth. Considering that I was old and it would be inconvenient for me to go up and down, the boss specially cleaned up a furnished room and upgraded me to a two-person room for free. The breakfast is very rich! The boss specially sent me to the meeting point during the day trip! The boss also invited me to a house party, which made me feel very happy and warm in a foreign country!

The location is very good, very close to the pier, the bedding is clean and comfortable, you need to take off your shoes when entering the door. When you check in very late, the boss will always wait for you The boss can speak a little Chinese and is very enthusiastic. The recommended supper is also delicious. recommended stay The only thing to note is that he is on the third floor, not the second!

The room is very clean and the service attitude is very good. If you are used to staying in youth hostels, you can choose it.
