Borneo Beach Villas
4.3/5171 Reviews
Nothing much that i can say. my family and I have amazing stay at Borneo Beach Villa karambunai for 3 days 2 night. The villas is clean, the pool is clean and the beach is so beautiful. My family really enjoy with the stay. However the reason i give. 4 star because our villa has some of broken chair at table outside and the door is very hard to open because of rusty. I think maybe the villa itself is too old. Mybe it just our villa not sure with another. It will be nice if they can check regularly maintenance for each villa Some of things need to remind while you in here: 1. Villas doesnt have WIFI. Only have at receptionist, thus if you want to do work while chilling make sure you bring your own wifi. 2. Make sure to buy any groceries that you want before reach to villa because the distant with mart is far away they didnt have their own mart, only restaurant 3. This villa didnt provide any lobby service. But aboVe all that we are really enjoy staying here.
Mercure Kota Kinabalu City Centre

Kota Kinabalu City Center
I recently stayed at Mercure Kota Kinabalu, and my overall experience was a mixture of positives and negatives. The hotel's ambiance and service were generally acceptable, but a couple of aspects left me with a less than perfect impression. On the positive side, the room, although not the promised city view, was comfortable and well-maintained. The amenities provided were standard and met our basic needs for a short stay. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, adding a pleasant touch to our overall experience. However, one notable drawback was the discrepancy in the room description. Despite being assured of a city view, we were assigned a room overlooking the opposite facing the busy road. While this may seem like a minor issue, it did impact our overall satisfaction, as the promise of a particular view was one of the factors influencing our choice. Another inconvenience was the lack of dedicated parking facilities at the hotel. This meant that my husband had to purchase parking coupons daily, adding an unexpected expense to our stay. Moreover, the strict enforcement of parking regulations by 8 am posed a challenge, especially for guests who preferred to start their day later. In conclusion, Mercure Kota Kinabalu is a decent choice for a short stay, offering comfortable accommodations and friendly service. However, potential guests should be aware of potential discrepancies in room assignments and the absence of on-site parking facilities, which may affect the overall convenience and cost of their stay.

Sutera Sanctuary Lodges At Manukan Island
4.3/590 Reviews
We stayed here as part of a group tour. The first impressions were great as the staff took our luggage to our accommodation and they gave us a helpful briefing about the island. We were also welcomed with cold towels and a cold drink which was very welcome. The island does get very busy, particularly on weekends with day trippers, but we liked that there was a beach specifically for hotel guests. The hotel also has a pool but we didn’t use this. Our room was really nice with a comfy bed and fluffy pillows and good air con. We had a safe, a fridge and kettle and tea and coffee, and the bathroom was nice and spacious. We also had sofas to sit and relax with a tv. The only point I would make is that there were no shelves to put your clothes on in the rooms but we got creative and took the ironing board out of the cupboard and created our own makeshift shelf. It was so sweet that the staff left us a weather forecast on a card for the next day, and some chocolates in our room. The restaurant on the island was really good with nice breakfast choices and dinner options. Breakfast was included and we thought the food options and drinks were reasonably priced. We were also serenaded by a band who played a few songs for us at dinner which was fun. We loved walking along the pier where you could see baby black tips, puffers, needle fish and shoals of fish - anchovies. There are a lot of sandflies and mosquitoes on the island and in our room we were given a plugged in repellant along with a candle to deter them which the staff lit for us. Even though we wore repellent at night (dusk and dawn), we got so many bites so it is worth covering up at night; especially legs and feet. We also got lots of stings on the snorkelling trip from sea lice, so if you are sensitive to bites and feel allergic, we would recommend that you wear a long wetsuit or lycra pants if you have them. We had a lovely relaxing time here and it was a very enjoyable stay for us.
Horizon Hotel
4.5/5171 Reviews
Kota Kinabalu City Center
When i checked in at the conter, there's a water fell down from the ceiling. I believe it was from the unmaintained aircond. I was shocked because my first impression was a bit down already. They should fix problem like that immediately since it affect their costumer. It was an overall pleasant stay. The location is 5/5 in the center of the city. Everything is in walking distance. You can hop in to any local coffee shop within the area, or local business area such as the popular Filipino's market and ***a Street weekend market. Breakfast was okay, worth to pay. There's a variety choice of foods and the changed the main menu everyday too! It was tasty. But drinks, there's lack of choice especially for kids whom loves choc drinks. I hope they can serve milo or hot choc next time. The room cleanlines was okay. The room that they gave was the old not renovated one, facing city area. There's a smell came from the toilet which it was quite disturbing. I don't know what caused the smell, but the room smell a bit like old furniture as well. Will i stay again next time? Yeah, maybe.
Sabah Hotel
4.4/5126 Reviews
It is my second time staying here. Overall, still the same setup with some refurbishing done. The swimming pool closes slightly later than other hotels that I know of. Ample parking space so need not to worry about reserving a spot. Downtown Sandakan is just minutes away from the hotel.

Homesuite' Home at Sutera Avenue
4.1/510 Reviews
PROS ♡ The apartment is fully-furnished and was quite comfy for my family. ♡ Various eating outlets around the apartment building. ♡ Imago shopping mall is just opposite from the building (can use overpass/jejantas). ♡ Love the view from the swimming pool. ♡ Good WiFi network. CONS ❗️ Key box was hard to identify because of the small letters and different colour from the other boxes. ❗️ The manual given was incomplete- there was no mention of the apartment door lock which need heat to be activated. ❗️ The contact no. on this app cannot be contacted, so I had to Google it. ❗️ The parking lot is very confusing (even for the security guards). ❗️ Security guards were incompetent. They need to be trained properly on the layout of the building. ❗️ Sinks were not installed properly which lead to minor flooding in the washroom & the kitchen. ❗️ The beddings were not clean enough for my sister who has a very sensitive skin since she got bedbugs after sleeping there. ❗️ Water leaked from the aircond above the TV, so we had to turn it off to prevent electric shock & TV malfunction.
