"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 been better for us if they offered a few private rooms or dormitories with fewer beds but the capsule bed spaces were clean and had plenty of electrical outlets to charge our phones. They also offered a paid airport shuttle service."

"Thank you for the services! You have a very friendly and helpful staffs there. 😊Helped us to carry bags to our room and always assist to open door for us. He has charming smile on him all the time. The room is comfortable and clean. If you can place something in toilet to remove the smell that will be perfect. And the internet for second floor is not working for the whole stay. Lucky we have our own mobile data😅 There is self service dobi, malay restaurant, chinese restaurant nearby and grab car service is around RM4-5 per way, quite convenient. "

"TEMPO offers good value for money - we stayed here 2 nights, before and after our 4 day dive trip out at Mabul. The hostel is just out of the Semporna city centre, but only 5 minutes to the jetty by car. Facilities are new and clean, and staff very accommodating, especially given our very early starts. Rooms are clean and sufficient, and shared bathrooms well kept and clean. A short walk from a popular street food strip and the Penang Curry House - both highly recommended for good, cheap local food. "

"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...Also there's a huge variety of useful things you can buy (as sunscreen,aloe vera,tampons etc...)Atine and her auntie are so sweet and kind,always ready to help!Ask them about the bus ticket to KK, if you need it,as you may get a special price ;) I booked a snorkeling tour with SPM through them and it was cool as well. It is located at less than 10 mins from the jetty and about 5 mins from the bus stations. Perfect!Unfortunately Semporna doesn't have a lot to offer apart being the only way to get to the islands nearby."
