Guest Reviews

• Piotr (10/5): Spaliśmy tam w 5 osób, 2 łazienki, prywatny parking na samochód - Duży dom, podjazd na samochód
• Klaus (8/5): - Unkompliziertes Einchecken mit gutem Online Kontakt zum Vermieter Etwas abseits und nur wenige attraktive Restaurants in der Nähe
• Hannah (9/5): -
• Oliver (10/5): -
• Diddy (9/5): Goede prijs/kwaliteit! - Het huis heeft alles wat je nodig hebt, een keuken met waterfilter, een woonkamer en airco. Daarnaast ligt het heel dichtbij het vliegveld en kun je vanaf deze plek gemakkelijk met grab richting het centrum en ook RDC. De host is goed te bereiken via whatsapp, reageert snel en stuurt ook nog eens een leuke tip! Er zijn veel muggen buiten, dus houd de deuren goed gesloten.
• Dominik (10/5): -
• Amelie (10/5): Parfait pour un séjour près de l'aéroport. - Près de l'aéroport. Beaucoup d'espace. Tous les équipements nécessaires sont disponibles. Hote très réactif. Confortable. Tout était bien. Seul chose à regarder serait l'étanchéité des portes extérieures et la porte pour aller à la cuisine ne s'ouvre pas au complet. Mais j'y retournerais si j'ai à revenir dans le coin sans hésiter.
• Aimee (8/5): Perfect stay convenient to the airport - It was a good overnight stay before flying out the following day. We truly appreciated that they allowed us to check in early as we were arriving into town from a river tour. The host was kind to leave us snacks and the space was clean. They also had easy and clear directions for entering the home. You have to walk a little ways to find restaurants.
• Mahmut (7/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): - The most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. We actually left another hotel early to come back here for the night before we flew out. Had everything you need to be comfortable and felt like being at home. Really thoughtful host.
• Hamidi (10/5): it was great - dapur dia sangatlah luas and ruang tamu pun. fully furnished punya homestay so sangat berbaloi the aircond i think sedikit tidak sejuk lah yang d bilik atas but bukanlah tidak sejuk langsung. cuma kurang sejuk
• Deryn (8/5): -
• Maria (7/5): - Smidig incheckning, stort. Bra faciliteter såsom kyl och frys och vattenrening för dricksvatten. Området känns lite obehagligt när allt är inhägnat men verkar iof inte vara någon fara.
• Jim (8/5): -
• JAMDIN (8/5): -
• Nurfaezah Aini (9/5): -
• Yun Lian (9/5): Great Location - Clean and location is very near to the Sandakan airport . For security reasons ,The house's main gate should be repaired since it can't lock .
• Giovanna (9/5): - Huge house, host left some food and instant coffee for us.
• Jerzy (9/5): -
• Joy (10/5): -
• Diego (10/5): - La cercanía del alojamiento al aeropuerto. Casa de huéspedes muy grande y cómoda, con todas las comodidades. Personal muy amable. Además proporcionan algo de comida para la cena o desayuno. Limpio. Buen Wifi. Todo perfecto.
• Svetlana (10/5): An excellent apartment: clean, comfortable, and friendly, helpful hosts - A fully furnished and squeaky clean apartment that has some of the best amenities I have ever seen in a serviced apartment. Absolutely loved our stay here and wished it were longer. Close to the airport, and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.
• alessandra (9/5): -
• Enrico (10/5): - La proprietaria, Signora Maini, è di una gentilezza disarmante. Siamo rimasti bloccati senza possibilità di avere un passaggio ad 1 ora di distanza dalla casa e, non appena le abbiamo spiegato la situazione, ci è venuta immediatamente a prenderci. Solo questo merita 11. Grazie mille Maini!
• Martin (10/5): - Very nice, big and comfortable house. Very recommended.
• Iron Chef (10/5): -
• Laura (8/5): Prima! - We werden netjes opgehaald bij het vliegveld. De accomondatie was prima en de bedden waren goed. Alle faciliteiten waren aanwezig
• Janice (8/5): Cheap and cheerful 1 night stay before flight - Needed a 1 night stay before flying out. Good price as you get the whole house, ok neighbourhood. Close to airport. There's some restaurants in a shopping mall strip in walkable distance. Comms before my stay were so so. I couldn't get in for a while and they had turned all power off so whilst I had the wifi password I couldn't connect and the router was switched off!
• Chloé (8/5): - Petite maison confortable et propre avec tout l'équipement nécessaire. Hôte réactive et disponible. Code du cadenas envoyé sur Booking erroné. Assurez-vous d'avoir internet pour pouvoir joindre l'hôte en cas de problème. Proche aéroport mais loin des restaurants et commerces (15 à 30 min à pied).
• Abdul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Larry (10/5): A Memorable Cosy Home - This home is so comfortable. It has all the necessary facilities. The staff are kind and hospitable. We went for Chinese New Year and they surprised us with Chinese New Year decorations.
• Mohd (10/5): Exceptional - Clean. Good location. Good staff
• Azmir (10/5): Great stay in Sandakan - Spacious house with backyard for family to rilex. The backyard area was spacious with open type kitchen. Washing machine is there & pump to make sure bathing experience. To sandakan town takes around 15-20minutes. Overall we love the place. Water heater at the upper bathroom leaking already highlighted to the owner upon check out.
• Chungket (10/5): Cosy guest house - We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at VIRTA guest house. The guest house looks much better in person than the online photos provided. The description said " family room with balcony " quite confused us when in fact we have the whole house for ourselves. There is an open kitchen where we were able to prepare meal while doing our laundry. Aircond was functioning well. The beds were comfortable. None. The kids doesn't want to leave!
• Francesca (10/5): Very very comfortable and spacious - So spacious, well furnished, probably the most comfortable bed we’ve stayed in Malaysia over the last 6 weeks! Great aircon. Photos don’t do it justice. Staff very helpful, welcoming and kind, very responsive to messages about checking in and out. Lots of places to order food from and kitchen area to cook in if needed. Very close to airport and easy to get grab to. That we only stayed one night!
• Jennet (10/5): Lovely home to relax in - Lovely having whole house to chill in. Great communication. Really liked kitchen/outside area Slightly isolated in housing estate
• Henny (8/5): Very good -
• Andy (7/5): Good -
• Norita (10/5): will repeat again 💕 - staff very friendly, facilities, comfortable bed kitchen area hot
• Matt (10/5): Lovely House - The house was really clean and homey. Wifi and AC in all rooms worked well. Lots of finishing touches that made a huge difference and all amenities needed and more were provided. We didn't want to leave!
• Jason (8/5): Very good - It was good value for money, well set up and clean.
• Radek (9/5): Superb - Friendly host, very helpful, good communication, close to the Sandakan airport should you arive late in the night as it was our case, good price/value ratio everything was fine
• Joanne (10/5): Homely comforts right beside the airport! - The proximity to the airport is fantastic, the place is absolutely gorgeous, totally spotlessly clean, the owner even left me a few little snacks which was really appreciated. The beds were extremely comfortable, and it was lovely to finally finally get to do my laundry! Nothing, I cannot fault it.
• Todd (10/5): Exceptional -
• Richard (10/5): Convenient for visiting Sepilok and exceeded my expectations in terms of facilities available. - Didn't expect to discover we would have a whole house, complete with all facilities to ourselves in a quiet suburban street. The house itself was spotless and convenient for visiting the nearby Sepilok Rainforest Discovery Centre. Owing to phone signal problems I didn't receive the messages from the owner with how to access the property until after a neighbour had let us in. Aside from that, a perfect place to stay.
• Rodenburg (10/5): Great stay here!!! So helpful!!! - The staff answered me through what’s app and gave all the info for me to check into the house. They were very helpful with tips where to dine out, shop etc. internet was great and had Netflix apps on tv. House had 3 bedrooms and full kitchen with washer and separate dryer. Need transportation to get around.
• Łukasz (10/5): Exceptional - Very specious house and well furnished and equipped. Landlord was very helpful and kind! Highly recommended! Close by taxi to Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary. N/A
• Russell (10/5): Perfect for us; Could be perfect for you - For us, the location was great - it’s right by the airport, and not too far from the rainforest discover center/orangutan rehab center. The house has everything: water and dryer, blender, countertop oven, filtered water, etc. Communication was friendly and helpful (our flight arrived at 12:30pm and we could check in early). We had a nice quiet morning coffee and chat in the garden/patio area out back, too. Based on what we wanted, there was nothing we didn’t like.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful homely GH/house. 1 of the best places have stayed in the whole of Asia. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Host (Maini) very prompt in her response and also helpful for places to eat. Would recommend this home to anyone thinking of staying in Sandakan and area. Thanks Nothing
• Hrefna (8/5): Very good -
• Angelica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robin (10/5): calm - The guesthouse is located very close to this airport : so it is great if you have to take a flight early in the mroning. The house is really clean and there is a beautifull terasse in the back ! PERFECT !!! nothing
• Julius (10/5): Great place to say, very recommend! - Very cosy, plenty of equipment, wellcome drinks and snaks which is perfect if you come late from airport, plenty of space, great internet, great atmosphere
• Taras (10/5): Clean and spacious. Had everything we needed. Pleasant hosts. - Clean and spacious accommodation. We only spent one night, but it fit our needs. Fast wifi, AC, a full kitchen and plenty of privacy. The hosts were very easy to deal with and were pleasant. Shower head holders were broken and can use some maintenance.
• Daniel (10/5): Excellent stay - This place was awesome. It’s a full house to yourself, it’s huge, such good value for money! Set on a quiet residential road, it’s just 6 mins drive from the airport - perfect if you're arriving on the 1830 flight from KL and then work your way up to Sepilok the next day. There’s 2x double bedrooms + bathroom upstairs, and downstairs is a large open plan dining room-living room and a bathroom. Then the kitchen is kinda outside adjoined to a lovely, covered garden / patio area. What I usually dislike about places like this is that they’re sterile, furniture is sparse and there’s no soft furnishings. But it’s not like that here, it’s comfy and homely! I was met on arrival by a lovely lady who got me settled. Wi-Fi was really good, as was the AC, and there’s even some complimentary snacks, coffee and water for you. The back bedroom has absolutely the best bed in SE Asia – so comfortable. Really soft and luxurious! The shower was hot but weak, lots of toiletries available to use. Highly recommend! The shower was hot but weak and the bathroom was tired and outdated, but lots of toiletries available to use. Highly recommend!
• Zainuddin (9/5): Superb - I am very satisfied with this homestay. Surely will repeat here when visit Sandakan again.
• Evy (10/5): Very good facility. - Location is easy to reach. The facilities is well equipped eg: laundry and dryer, as well as the television work well. good environment, i would recommend to all my friend and definitely book this homestay again if i come to Sandakan. Everything is fine.

The house is nice and large, very clean and comfortable. Literally 5 mins from the airport. There aren't many places within walking distance, however Grab is so cheap that it doesn't matter.

• Saranya (8/5): Very good -
• Jessy (10/5): Exceptional - Everything good, comfortable and clean. Room sound insulation is poor.
• Gordon (10/5): Comfortable stay in Sandakan - VIRTA Guesthouse is great if you prefer the comfort of having your own place while visiting Sandakan. We enjoyed all the space we had and the cozy/functional outside area where we were able to cook some meals. Places like the Orangutan Sanctuary and Rainforest Discovery Center are about a 20 minute drive from the house. It is pretty easy & affordable to use Grab (Malaysia's Uber) to get back and forth, though having a car would be more comfortable. The host is also very responsive and friendly. The neighborhood is nice (very local), but not particularly walkable. You can't really access any restaurants or supermarkets on foot.
• Zainudin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mansuet (8/5): Very good - Spacious house
• Jeremy (10/5): What A Lovely Stay! - We loved our stay here. We watched Netflix on the large TV, ordered pizza delivery, and relaxed. We also visited the Sepilok area and loved it. the beds are so comfortable and air conditioning in each room. We were so happy to do some laundry with a washer and dryer. The kitchen is fully stocked with the things needed to cook. The hosts are so friendly and helpful, too!
• Jeremy (10/5): We Stayed Multiple Times! 😃 - We actually stayed here 2 separate times during our trip to Sandakan. We stayed for a couple nights before our overnight trip to Selingan “Turtle” Island and then stayed here again afterwards because we liked it so much and it was perfect for our needs!
