Homy Seafront Hostel is situated in Kota Kinabalu, within 3.6 km of Sabah State Museum & Heritage Village and 5.4 km of North Borneo Railway. The property is around 6.3 km from Likas City Mosque, 11 km from International Technology & Commercial Centre Penampang - ITCC and 1.7 km from Signal Hill Observatory. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and a shared lounge for guests. All facilities were quite nice, clean, cozy and even quiet. Especially all staff was tremendously friendly. Even they are well-armed with attractive smiles. ^^ I still remember one of male staffs, Ebin(?)'s kindness. Thank to him, I learned about Malaysian culture as well. If someone has a plan to travel East Malaysia, I strongly recommend this great hostel.

Boasting a sauna, Homexuite Vacation @ Sri Indah is set in Sandakan. This apartment offers free private parking and a lift. Offering free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking apartment features a sauna. I had a great stay at this beautiful accommodation. It’s located in a secure, gated complex with 24/7 security, which gave me a real sense of comfort and peace of mind. As part of the residential complex, guests have access to excellent shared facilities, including a gym, a swimming pool, and even a large indoor hall where people play sports like badminton and more. The apartment itself was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. One thing I really appreciated was the thoughtful touch of having essentials already available – things like salt, laundry detergent, and other small necessities that make a big difference when you’re staying somewhere for a few days or longer. Overall, I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!

Featuring a garden, private pool and sea views, #3 No1 Revisited Stay-Luxury Corner Seaview, 2bath room-Mango House3 is set in Kota Kinabalu. Free WiFi is featured throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.7 km from Filipino Market Sabah. Loved everything about it!! Truly felt like a home away from home. Has all the amenities you need and a gorgeous view. A water filter for drinking water. Good hot showers, comfy beds and living area. Well placed power sockets and even a wireless charging dock. We enjoyed it so much despite it being towards the end of the city area. This meant a peaceful stay with a mall next door and laundry and convenience stores on the ground floor of the apartment building. For everywhere else, just GRAB. So worth it.
