This place is meant for families or larger groups I assume, but I booked as a solo traveller. Multiple beds to choose from. Full of AC units and ceiling fans in every room. Water refill machine. Washing machine and dryer. Shower worked well and had good pressure, hot water. Wifi was fine. So much space, like heaps, can hang clothes, sort things out, sit on couches, choose any bed to sleep on. Due to their being multiple rooms I could pick a room away from the main road (internal walls) and get silence. Sink for dishes, microwaves, kettles, you name it. It's like having your own house. Enough parking nearby, not directly at the front door but within 50m or so.

A very cosy house, peaceful location. It met all our expectations. It's a bit further away from the center, but close to Sepilok and the airport. There is a big supermarket 20-minut walk away, but you can get Grab easily. The owner is very kind and helpful.

The host is kind and understanding. The host is willing to wait until midnight to hand over the house keys. The transaction is also very easy, after booking, the host immediately chats. Regarding the house, the house is very neat and clean. The condition of the house exceeds expectations. The house is very comfortable, fast wifi. The location is close to the city and several attractions. Overall, I am very satisfied and will come back again another day.

The property was very clean and welcoming. The room was equipped with a good air conditioner, a comfortable bed, and a hot shower with easy temperature control. Like many Southeast Asian accommodations, the shower is located near the toilet, but the floor dries fairly quickly. The Wi-Fi worked well, allowing me to work and attend business calls without any issues. Self check-in with no staff on-site, but access was easy and the team is responsive via WhatsApp if needed. I recommend this accommodation because it's actually located in the more modern part of town, with all the necessary amenities nearby—supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes. The city center didn’t have much to offer in comparison

Apart from a young gentleman handing us the key, our contact was through Whattsapp which was ok. The lady booked a river cruise for us at the last moment, and it was outstanding. For a budget hotel, it was a good deal and I would recommend it. Location was good too.

AeCotel, it is in a brilliant location, very close to the seafront and shopping centre. We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were super helpful and let us store our luggage after checkout before we went to the airport. The room was very clean, with a comfortable bed.

It's a cozy place to stay with family. The location is ideal. It's a quiet place to stay. Everything is complete with mineral waters, towels, soaps, combs & dental kits. They even provide a cute snack & drinks corner, you can pay with cash or QR scan. The house is very clean and smells nice. We will definitely come back again in the future. ⭐
