      100% recommended.”

      I had a fantastic time at the Hemingway Cottage. The owner provided us with an amazing experience that was filled with nothing but positive energy. The owner genuinely cares about his guests. He was very accommodating and let us check in early. The hotel is located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. If you enjoy peace and quiet, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Semporna. The cost of a Grab ride to Jeti Pelancongan Bangau-Bangau or the town area is only RM7-8. The room is also spacious and equipped with plenty of outlets for charging cellphones. The room was fantastic, clean, and had the perfect size bed. It's convenient to have cold and hot water (Coway) as well as free instant coffee. The outside corridor is a nice place to hang out and relax. Thank you! Will recommend to my colleagues! Affordable – 100% Clean – 100% Comfortable – 100% Quality – 100% Safe – 100%

      A Warm and Cosy Stay in Semporna”

      It's a good place to stay with a warm and cosy family feeling which the owners of the cottage have for their customers. They have a good kitchen which is very helpful if your want to cook food for small kids or yourself. The owners are very caring and helpful. The cottage is maintained well and is clean. We stayed for three days and had fun enjoying the calmness of its location and good music by one of the staffs.

      Fantastische en gastvrije locatie te midden van een groene omgeving”

      We hadden een zeer aangenaam verblijf in een mooie en rustige omgeving. De host was uitzonderlijk behulpzaam en gastvrij en deed alle moeite van de wereld om het ons naar onze zin te maken. Hij bracht ons naar de jeti, kwam ons weer ophalen en gaf ons leuke tips voor lokale restaurants. 's Avonds verwende hij ons met de lokale drank . en was het heel gezellig en sfeervol in de tuin. Een sympathieke medewerker speelde gitaar en zo hebben we uren samen gezongen. Absolute aanrader. Wij komen zeker terug !
