Les îles à proximité de Semporna sont incroyables ! Vous passerez de bonnes vacances là-bas !

Les chambres ne sont pas terribles, beaucoup d’humidité dans les logements. Le personnel n’est pas plus que ça arrangeant et sympathique !

"Safe as a last resort."

5.0

They tried to accommodate me and I ended up in a bunk room by myself. I felt safe.

Just not up to modern standards.

"So yeah if you don’t mind dirty toilets and bad showers, the place was alright :)"

6.0

The staff was friendly and the location was nice. I was able to book snorkeling trips thru the hostel and they arranged a cheap airport transfer for me. They served light breakfast all day.

The conditions of the bathroom was terrible. The floor of the toilet was constantly wet and there was water dripping from above you. There was a weird smell and the toilets didn’t look like they were cleaned often. The water pressures of the showers was also terrible, I was barley able to get all the shampoo out of my hair.

"Mala"

3.0

Está cerca del puerto.

Los baños sucísimos, daba asco. La habitación sin ventana, no se abría ni se cerraba la puerta. La higiene de las duchas pésima , el desayuno era hasta las 10 y ya a las 9’30 no quedaba nada de desayunar.
