Taman Bandar Semporna hotels & accommodations

Due to our flight schedule from KL to Tawau, we checked-in at midnight in Semporna. Hotel staff was kind and helpful. We booked one sea view room with twin bed but the king size bed room which seemed larger and comfortable was provided. Bothe local breakfast and continental breakfast were served. Wi-Fi access and Laundry service was good.

It was my first time vacation at semporna,sabah. All about services at dragon inn I was very satisfied but in rural areas dragon inn there's still have a rubbish floating coming from nearby towns. I hope the relevant authorities will solve this problem because the city view and ocean beautiful become unsightly. its also give effect at dragon inn view.so,for the best fe...

i was at the semporna inn for a night in september, 2012 before heading to mabul, and another night on the way back. on my first night, i was trying to sleep and, about 1 am, i heard some noise out in the street. when i opened the drapes to look, i saw a fist fight with about 5 people. the cops showed up, very exciting, but not exactly welcoming. frankly, semporna is a...

The time we booked most of the desired hotel properties we wanted which offered twin rooms were booked out so started looking for hostel accommodation and this was a new hostel in Semporna (stayed in March 2017) which was very close (in walking distance) to the boat drop off from Mabul island along the pier where there are plenty of seafood restaurants. It would have b...

We book 2 chalet for 2 nights for our group vacation. Since we rented a car the location was not a problem for us. The view of the resort was beautiful. The staff was very accomodating to our request.. The chalets were spacious and cosy. Water supply was disrupted due to the drought season but staff informed us that only certain hours during the day that our water supp...

I stayed at this hostel 4 days whilst my partner went diving in Mabul. I wasn't so keen on Semporna itself so I actually stayed inside most of the day. The hostel always had a great vibe and I must say the owner was very welcoming and very friendly. Enjoyed the different selection of breakfast each morning with coffee or tea. Only thing I would say is the floor could d...

it was a last min trip and we manage to book this resort. it was worth the money, location was beautiful and you can do some snorkelling around the hotel (remember to bring your flipper, sometimes the current can be too strong for beginner). cleanliness is ok but there is a lot of ants roaming around the bed, the staff is very friendly and helpful. the worst encounte...

Booked at last minute and most hotels in Semporna are fully booked. Stayed 2 nights on 10 & 11 May 2017 Deluxe King room. U cant expect much on hotels in Semporna. We arrived late at about 8pm and when we stepped in the whole lobby smells like fish market. Terrible. We got room 130 and smell as such too, smells better on 2nd day though. Room size is acceptable. Towel ...

We stayed one night in Semporna after diving at Mabul & Sipadan and before our flight departing from Tawau airport the next morning. The room was not that big but it has a private balcony facing the waterfront and if you wake up early in the monring, you may see the locals trading for seafood in small canoes. There are many seafood restaurants right below and next t...

Semporna leaves a lot to be desired, worst town I've been in so far in Malaysia but have to go here to go diving at the beautiful islands. Eric, the manager, runs his own personal day trips to islands that i wish I had known about before. I think staying here and taking day trips to various smaller uninhabited islands is best, not staying on Mabul. I will come back ...

My stay to Atine hostel was absolutely pleasant. The house is very clean and beds are just so comfortable! (You get two pillows).The room has aircon and lockers,every bed has his own lamp, plug and a little basket. There are also curtains that separe the 4 bunkbeds :)Tea, coffee and water are complimentary, as well as toiletries! You can use the fridge,microwave etc......

The picture taken from the drone looks enticing - what attracted us to go there. The reality is very different as this was the worst place I have stayed in for years. It is run by a gang of about twelve men that stay on the property the entire time - even though most of them have no real function there. They just linger around and stay in unoccupied rooms. Our room was...

good enough for tight-budget traveller; nice transit rest place before continuing your next vacation plan on island hopping trip around semporna..however,not reccomended to those who highly seek for cozy,complete neccesities equal to 3 star hotels.. truly cater the need of budget traveller who don't mind on any lacking of the facilities provided as the front office ser...

The room is not too spacious, but good enough for taking rest, got a private bathroom. The owner and staff are pretty friendly and helpful. We had a great time to stay there. Just 10 minutes walk to the pier and grocery store and restaurants around the area.

I have an awesome stay at the Ocean Inn.My big thanks to the staff in attending my friend and I during our 4D3N in Semporna and Island hopping.Credit to all the young males staff,Mr Hassan,Saddam,Adam, Nazrie and Andy. They were very polite and soft manners,always smiling to the guest.When i am waiting for my friend to come down in the lobby(the lobby is quite small an...

I am staying with my family last 3 days. Basically like homestay. The room is quiet ok with the basic bad, table and toilet.However, the water pressure is quiet low. Aircond is cold. No remote for us to control the temperature (should ask the receptionist). You can walk to Semporna town about 20 minutes or ask the staff to send you (driving only 5 minutes far). Overall...

After coming directly from the jungle in borneo with no air-condition, Mabul Inn was like heaven. Me and my boyfriend were just staying in Semporna for a night before going to Mabul and then we stayed another night after diving at Mabul. Aircon worked perfectly, good big private bathroom and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend for backpackers who just n...

The best thing I love about the place is the location - just behind the best seafood restaurant in town (Fat Mom's), 1 minute walk from Giant Supermarket, Guardian pharmacy, the wet market and the public jetty, 5 minutes walk from the town center. Also the capsule gives you so much privacy and I could sleep soundly without the snoring noise from other people in the sam...

I love to travel~ the most important thing for me is Cleanliness & Comfortable place to rest~ Well what I recommend is this ISLAND BACKPACKER. The cleanliness is TIP TOP, staffs are friendly, and the price is very cheap and reasonable. Island Backpackers are near with the food stall, bank and so convenient.

Place was clean and neat but in very bad district of Semporna. No car park, parking only under the building. Shared bathroom and a staircase going into building. Very nice living room and staff very helpful. There was also a breakfast even for somebody leaving very early in the morning.

Awesome experience with hotel, really friendly staff and breakfast provided was really nice. Totally enjoying my stay here, plus a lots of restaurant nearby hotel, and easy eccess to all the convenient shops, mall, and all. Worth staying with affordable price. Thank you so much
