Hotels with Breakfast in Semporna

"Environment: I highly recommend this hotel. The location is a huge advantage – right outside is the pier for diving and island hopping. After a day of island hopping, it's just a short 90-meter walk back to your room to shower and change, which is incredibly convenient for diving enthusiasts. Downstairs, there's a convenience store, supermarket, drink shops, seafood restaurants, and even a fish market. Everything you need for food, drinks, and entertainment is easily accessible. Cleanliness: The room was spotlessly clean and tidy, with all necessary amenities. The private balcony directly faces the beautiful sea. Sitting on the balcony enjoying the sea breeze and ocean views in your free time is a perfect experience."

"Everything about this place was great! The courtyard was clean and even had little cats. Communication in Chinese was seamless, and the owner was a really nice, young guy from mainland China. There's also a pool in the courtyard, which was lovely for an evening breeze. It's super close to the pier, just a few minutes' walk, so getting around was easy. The owner was incredibly helpful. The room had an electric mosquito repellent, and all the usual disposable toiletries were well-stocked. We even saw a group of people who thought they'd lost their phone, and the owner immediately helped them search for it, only for it to turn out it was in their car – it just goes to show how warm-hearted and positive the owner is, thumbs up! He also gave us tips on seafood prices to help us bargain and recommended some great restaurants for processing seafood. Honestly, it was a fantastic stay, and I'd definitely choose to stay here again if I come back."

"I contacted the hotel via WhatsApp 3 days before check-in, and they replied very quickly. They even called me back, and the communication was very smooth. The boat departs from the jetty at 1:30 PM, but when we arrived at 12:30 PM, the boat was already waiting. Someone helped us with our luggage when we boarded. Later, we found out they weren't hotel staff, so we tipped each of them RM5. The hotel's check-out time is 10 AM, and the latest guests can leave by boat is 11 AM because the boat cannot sail after low tide. So, no late check-outs are possible. On the way there, it was high tide, and the boat sailed over shallow waters. The 'jelly sea' was absolutely stunning. My initial apprehension instantly turned into pure delight – it was so worth it! We were 6 adults and 3 children. We originally booked one triple fan room and one quintuple fan room. Because I didn't want a corner room, and the quintuple room was in the westernmost corner, and since there weren't many guests during the off-peak season (we practically had the place to ourselves, which was a pleasant surprise!), the hotel generously gave us an additional triple room and upgraded all our rooms to air-conditioned ones. Another great surprise! Actually, the sea breeze was strong, and opening the window with a fan was already very comfortable, so we didn't really need the air conditioning. In fact, after snorkeling, we found it too cold in the room, so we promptly turned off the AC. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations. The quintuple room was newer, while the two triple rooms were smaller and older. However, the sea view was so beautiful, and given the great value for money, these minor issues were acceptable. The hotel owner was also very accommodating and gave us keys to a few rooms, letting us choose which ones we wanted. Since the quintuple room was on the western side, the sunset views were spectacular. My friends even saw sea turtles twice from their room at night. After watching the sunrise, we walked to the easternmost part of the hotel. There's a bridge there that's perfect for photos, and we kept seeing sea turtles, which was such an amazing surprise! We saw about 7-8 sea turtles intermittently, and they were huge! It might have been the start of low tide, and they were all swimming towards the deep sea. This must be a common path for them, and it was the biggest highlight of our trip. The hotel has Wi-Fi and accepts TNG for payment. The round-trip boat ticket costs RM100, and children ride for free. Life jackets are RM5, and swimming rings are RM10 (no time limit). The hotel's snorkeling masks were broken and unavailable for rent, so it's best to bring your own. The sea has lots of corals, starfish, and fish, making it excellent for snorkeling. Bring extra bread to feed the fish. The hotel doesn't provide bottled water or hair dryers, but there's hot water and tea bags. Dinner was local Malay food, which might not suit everyone's palate, but we found it quite good, and the fish was cooked tenderly. The simple breakfast included delicious fried rice noodles. We also brought some chocolates and instant cereal/drink mixes to prepare with the hotel's hot water. There's also free karaoke and Lami mahjong, though they can only be used until 11 PM. The karaoke is a new facility, only 4 months old, and the sound system is excellent. The Lami mahjong set was brand new. In summary: Although the hotel is a bit old, the sea is incredibly beautiful, and we even saw sea turtles. For the price, it offers great value. Overall, I highly recommend it."

"Environment: The room was small and quite old, like a small guesthouse in a third-tier city in China. You could see the sea from the room, though. The bathroom was tiny. Service: The front desk was very slow when checking us in; people who arrived after us were already done. It said they offered Chinese service, but it was just a tiny bit, really just a tiny bit. However, they did provide breakfast vouchers which you could redeem on the first floor. Hygiene: When we pulled back the covers, the bedding was wrinkled. We initially thought it hadn't been changed, but even after they supposedly changed it, it was still wrinkled. Maybe that's just how it is."

"room with the small balcony but got a very nice view and very clean, the bathroom also very clean, complete with small fridge, free wifi, free breakfast and free two coffee coupens depend on your books. no water problem at all, and the counter reception open for 24hours, lot of mini shops and cafe nearby."

"I'm going to write a short essay. My writing isn't great, so please be patient and read through it. I originally chose this place for the cheapness and convenience, and my English is poor. Since the landlord is Chinese, communication is easy. Objectively speaking, if you want a superb room, service, and cleanliness, then choose a star-rated hotel, even a five-star one. I have a bad temper and am skeptical of all hotel bedding. I always bring my own bedding when I go out, but now disposable bedding is so convenient. When I go out to play, I'm not just going to hang out in a hotel, so a clean bathroom is enough for me. After all, I only go back at night to take a shower and sleep (I bring my own bedding). But for this trip, choosing this B&B was a wise decision. I misremembered the time of my flight from Tawau to Shanghai (18:5 We had mistakenly recorded our flight to Shanghai after connecting in Kota Kinabalu at 21:45. Three hours before takeoff (3:50 PM), we were still enjoying ourselves on Mabul Island, taking photos and having fun. When we realized what had happened, we were utterly terrified. We quickly contacted the host to let them know and ask for advice. We then braved traffic and drove all the way to the guesthouse to pick up our luggage. The host had already brought our luggage outside. As we loaded our luggage and headed to the airport, the host, worried we'd miss our flight, instructed us on WeChat how to check in and download our boarding passes via mobile. Unfortunately, in our panic, we couldn't find where to download our boarding passes on our phone. The host then asked me to check my email for boarding passes, but there was no place to download them, except on the itinerary. I sent the host the itinerary in the email, and when I saw the Grab app showed our arrival time at the airport at 6:51 PM, I was about to give up. But I refused to let the driver turn around. After a while, the host actually downloaded our boarding passes and sent them to me! The host downloaded our boarding passes and sent them to me on WeChat. I was so touched! Hope suddenly returned! It was already 6:49 PM when we arrived at the airport. With trepidation, we rushed in, only to find that check-in and baggage check-in had already closed. However, since we had boarding passes, the staff allowed my friend to swap our large suitcase for a smaller one and board the plane directly (the previous flight was eight minutes late). I really don't know what to say. Without the host's help downloading our boarding passes, we'd have been completely ruined on our entire trip back to Shanghai. I have to say: How lucky are you to have a B&B owner who genuinely supports you when you're away from home? You can't go wrong choosing this B&B when you're in Semporna! With a B&B owner like him, you can be completely confident. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the host again! (I never review anything except for requests from hotels.) These are all from the bottom of my heart! Thank you, host! I'll definitely stay at your place again if I go back!"

"We were two girls traveling, and here's why we chose Yongda: It's very close to the pier, a 10-minute walk or a 2-minute drive, making it super convenient for island hopping. Plus, Yongda has a shuttle service, offering free pick-up and drop-off to the pier for excursions. They even drove us to the seafood market to haggle for prices, which was incredibly helpful. For a hotel in town, it's really quite good. And! Yongda was the only hotel in Malaysia that had three-pin sockets, meaning we didn't need a travel adapter! That was truly a lifesaver~ Pro tip: If you're going to the seafood market to bargain, go after 8:00 PM. If you go too early, it's crowded and you won't be able to get the prices down."

"The first room I was given was really bad and old. I was actually planning on changing hotels and contacted Trip.com. After that, the hotel gave me a much nicer room, so I ended up staying for five days. Semporna is still beautiful though!"
