This property was everything you needed, a bed, a shower, breakfast in the morning, supermarkets close by and laundry self-service right around the corner. It’s nothing fancy but value for money is just good! The staff is just so friendly - we loved coming home and seeing them.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I had a great stay at Island backpackers in a private room and extended a few times. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Free breakfast of toast, spreads, boiled eggs & bananas was more than many hostels. The place is basic, but it does the job if you’re hoping to do diving / snorkeling day trips.

    Amazing stay and comfortable bed. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Liked this area more vs the waterfront. Very good value for money. The hostel arranged transport to the airport which was the cheapest I could find!

    The hostel was great with arranging for a late airport pickup for much cheaper than anything else. Spent a night here before heading to Mabul Island and it worked out. It's amazing that they include breakfast for that price. The companies they recommend for tours and diving are good companies and the prices are amongst the cheapest in all of Semporna.
