Reviews of Perfect Hub Semporna

Miela and Ridz from the staff were very helpful and friendly.

The room was large and we were able to put the sofa bed down to allow us to put suitcases on it. It had a small balcony too. We were able to walk to the tourist area from here. There is a cheap cafe next door we tried for dinner.

There were a lot of stairs to get to the room. The room is in need of an update: dirty walls. The duvet was far too small for the bed and bedding was very discoloured. The shower sometimes didn’t work, I had to go down to find out how it worked, someone came to help but then it didn’t work again. We also had to pay 8% on top of booking price when we arrived, it said this somewhere on this website but you’d need to look for it: it was not clear.

Everything was nice and accommodating for me and my friends

Water shortage around 10am-12pm

Cheaper price also near with the laundry shop

All Goog

Cheap room,can sleep

Nice to have your own space, it was clean

The room has no window it’s very claustrophobic. The staff were particularly helpful/friendly or accommodating.

Good location, comfortable bed, very clean

Simple breakfast of toast and coffee/tea.

Hostel itself was okay

DON’T BOOK ISLAND HOPPING TOURS! We booked island hopping tour through the hostel and i can’t recommend that or doing any of the hopping tours!! The tour was very badly organised, we waited more than an hour at the harbour and when we got to the boat we made multiole stops picking stuff up and it took 30-45mins. The guide told us nothing what was going on. But the biggest reason why we can’t recommend is that they don’t care about the nature at all, the harbour is full of plastic and other trash, they don’t care about the coralreefs. they didn’t tell the people on the boat how to act at the reefs and that led tourists touching the corals and also some of the group dived with the guides and all their finns touched the corals… the reef is half dead and it was so sad to see that they didn’t care at all. We did timba-timba-mataking-pom pom tour and paid 180MYR when we booekd it but you have to pay 10MYR to get to timba timba island (only for taking photos, snorkeling is in a different spot) and 15MYR to get to the mataking island and it is only for having lunch, they don’t mention the fees anywhere when you are booking it.. We feel awful that we supported this kind of tourism that kills the nature :(

The location is far from the center of the town, since I prefer a quiet place, so this is good for me. They also don't come to clean your room daily, I put the dirty towels outside my room for 3 days, they still didn't collect them until the day I checked out. It is a sore to my eyes looking at the dirty towels lying outside my room for 3 days.

Inside the room, there is no TV, it is really boring staying there, outside the room there is s common area, but unfortunately .. the TV there is not working too. But there is 3in1 coffee freeflow for you, also there is bread and peanut jam for you to enjoy.

Great stay for the price. Bathrooms are clean and bed was very comfortable. Yes, the budget room is small but the common room / kitchen provides plenty of space to hang out there is a fridge and filtered hot/cold water available. A simple breakfast and coffee is also provided. The staff are able to help organise day tours. Conveniently located within walking distance of the bus station, jetty, restaurants and markets.

Free toast, coffee, tea and water

The photos have been exaggerated. Therefore, it's always going to be underwhelming. Very thin walls between the rooms.

Location

Clean shared toilet area Free tea, upstairs.

The room. It was just adequate for a place to sleep. But, no mirror. Very small. The photos on booking.com website aren't realistic. It's not smart at all. A shabby concrete floor.

Pretty central, 13 min walk to the jetty. Shared bathrooms were nice and clean. Free bread and spreads provided in the morning. Nice big kitchen / living area. Maybe look at the pictures better when booking as we were expecting the twin room on the photos but this isn’t what we got (our fault for not looking properly). Air con in the rooms.

The room was like a cupboard, very small with barely any floor space. Smelled of damp and needed to keep a shoe in the door often to circulate some air. No window. Probably fine for one or two nights but we struggled with the space.
