1. noisy. the building next to the hotel is under construction and is producing a unbearable volume of noise, from around 8am to 6pm. 2. room is just, small; price is too high in the town. 3. quite dirty outside the hotel - it's still quite good within the hotel though 4. it provide a balcony for guests to hang their clothes on, but, smoky restaurants will make your readily-cleaned wet clothes .... into .... tasty food?

1. position is just, fabulous, for most cases. lots of restaurants to choose from, close to the fish market, close to many scuba/plongee diving providers 2. the room is designed in a way that is still acceptable, with considerably good conditioned amentieis and facilities inside the room.

The room was on the small side.

Great location right in the port. Only steps from where the boat let us off. Small room but clean and tidy. Big balcony with a nice view of the busy waterway.

Ventilation could be better, leading to sweaty and musty rooms

Very nice communal area, helpful staff, central location right on the water and close to dive shops and food options

Everything was very good.

Perfect location by the pier for the tours and all the restaurants around, this hostel was an unexpected surprise in Semporna. The room was small but the bed space so comfy, featuring a ventilator and a mobile shelve for your things. The common space was very big to chill and work, the WiFi good and the showers modern and spacious. The best discovery in Semporna's limited offers.

Dorm room is very tiny, and bathrooms/showers require you to leave the dorm and enter the lobby. Was loud in the early evening but quieted down at a reasonable hour.

Dorm is clean and pods and very private with screens. Located in the hub of the harbor with many food options just outside the door. Within walking distance of all the dive shops.

Nothing. It was a gem.

It’s clean and calm, great location - friendly staff that play guitar. It’s actually a sanctuary compared to other places to stay. I tried both single room and bunk beds, both were above average.

Only qualm is the room did not have a window (we knew this going in, so it wasn’t a surprise or anything).

Great for a night in Semporna! Bed was comfortable, staff were friendly, and it was in a great location.

The accommodation itself is clean, but Semporna town is a bit of a dump. Convenient location and close to the jetty.

Semporna is very rundown and surrounded by children beggars who are either tapping you for money or getting yelled at by restaurant staff for sitting in front of their establishment. It is a sad sight and for that reason I didn’t feel safe walking alone at night so I really liked the hostels direct access to the pier. Although, the bathroom has 2 toilets and 2 showers, it only has 1 sink. There were multiple times I had to awkwardly share the sink with a random guy. This is not a social hostel . No breakfast included.

The location is great. The back door of the hostel leads directly onto the pier where the restaurants are. I ordered from fat mom twice and both times I was able to have them deliver to the hostel which was very convenient. When I was done, I just returned the plate back to the restaurant. My room was right outside of the reception area therefore I could hear everything happening outside. The dorm was very small as well. I liked the code access to enter the front and back of the hostel. I did 2 island tours through the hostel and both start points were right on the pier making it convenient. The guys at reception were always so helpful.

You needed to pay a cash deposit on arrival for the key card for check in and access to WIFI. There is an ATM around the corner, but I was surrounded by kids begging for money - so it didn't feel entirely safe.

It's in a great location if you're looking to do dive tours. The staff were friendly and accommodating. They assisted me in organising an additional travel charger when mine stopped working, which was very helpful. The room is small, but comfortable and clean. Perfect for solo travellers.

Water pressure a bit slow. If you take room with balcony, you may want to relook because other people can see you if they stay in their room because the compartment between balcony is not until the roof only halfway

The location very strategic, near the jetty & local foods. Room is ok, clean. Staff is friendly, overall a pleasant stay here.

No breakfast option - but there is a little caffe shop at the corner. Also walls are very thin so you can hear neighbors or when was raining- was so lound you can not sleep.

Location is great. Staff help us with booking of the tours.

Probably the best you’re gunna get in Semporna without paying a fortune. Rooms were basic but comfortable, great location close to food and drink with a nice ish view from the rooms. There is nothing in Semporna though. So only use this as a stop gap of a base for travelling elsewhere in the islands

Even though the fact that there is no window it was mentioned in the room description, a window should be present to make the room perfect

Nice and clean, I took double room with my friend.

It is located by all the restaurants at the pier, which makes it conveniently located, but you can smell the prawns from the moment you open the room door

Very conveniently located. Right beside Fat Mom restaurant. Walking distance to other amenities such as Watsons and the supermarket. Though it was in the busy area, soundproofing was done well.
