酒店在一樓，要從地下走十多級樓梯。附近有本地小孩主動要幫我們提行李及帶路，我們拒絕，但他們會死纏爛打帶我們去酒店及問取tips。 房間很少，但很清潔，公共空間很清潔。有公眾露台可以晾衣服。 由於我媽媽第二日沒去海上活動，所以我多付了RM120就可以讓媽媽留到6pm才check out。 但因為海上活動遲了回酒店，我媽媽又沒有本地電話卡聯絡不到她。我怕媽媽担心我，所以打給酒店通知我媽，職員也發微信給我，通知我已通知我媽，令我及媽媽都放心。酒店幫助了一個大忙。

Comfortable stay and good value for money

We arrived early before 12 noon and they allowed us to check in since the room was ready. Overall our stay was great, comfortable bed & aircond very cool, bathroom clean, water pressure okay, got space to hang our wet clothes, the location is very near to the jetty, got coway water & instant coffee for free. That will be great if there is TV inside room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very recommended.

乾淨服適的旅店

旅店位置離碼頭很近，幾乎每天都出海跳島的我們，房間不大但熱水夠大很符合我們需求，陽台可曬濕衣服，向老闆Kenny訂出海行程很好溝通，老闆有自己的船，不會有一大群併團的客人 可以盡量配合個別需求，真心推薦這家旅店給來仙本那的旅客。

Lurad av Hotels. com.

Kom ner till Semporna dagen före och gick till Hippo Scuba bara för att kolla boendet. Personalen skulle titta på bokningen då fanns det ingen i mitt namn eller någon från Hotels. com. Ingen rolig upplevelse då det var väldigt svårt att hitta något boende pga helgerna. Som tur var hjälpte den mycket trevliga personalen oss med att hitta någonstans att bo. Vågar man någonsin boka med Hotels. com igen? Hoppas att ni inte dragit några pengar för boendet!
