El sitio muy limpio y cómodo. La ubicación perfecta. Además, se nos olvidó coger la fianza que pusimos el día de llegada y nos escribió para devolvérnosla de alguna manera. Increíble gesto!

El personal muy agradable Las camas eran muy cómodas y buena ubicación.

El precio es elevado para baño compartido y habitación sin ventana, aunque, es cierto, que en general Semporna es caro Es necesario dejar ventilar más las habitaciones porque cuando entramos olía demasiado a producto y ambientador

Es war sehr sauber und das Hostel ist gut durchdacht. Die Menschen sind sehr hilfsbereit und man kann über sie ein Flughafentaxi oder auch Tauchtours buchen. Sehr zu empfehlen.

It is well located. Breakfast was good.

Common areas are closed to the rooms. So you can not sleep well.

Dormitorio femminile da 6 persone. La struttura è abbastanza accoglite, soprattutto considerata la situazione di povertà di molte persone a Semporna. La camera era pulita e il materasso comodo, aria condizionata, luce individuale, box per gli oggetti personali in camera. La sistemazione non aveva la tenda, ma altre camere l'avevano. Posizione centrale a 5' dal porto, possibilità di bus condiviso per l'aeroporto a 35 rm. Il personale gentile e disponibile alle varie richieste con possibilità di partecipare ai tour alle isole. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo con colazione inclusa. Bagni abbastanza puliti per i canoni della Malesia, le signore li passavano diverse volte al giorno, però sono con water e doccia assieme (come spesso capita qui).

Non tanto spazio per appoggiare le valigie in camera.
