My family had a very comfortable stay. They loved the place. The house is as per the picture. Thankfully the owner provided us with a video direction to the guesthouse as the Google maps is not accurate.

I have been travelling for 3 years and this place was exceptional and probably the nicest place I’ve stayed. The rooms and whole place is beautifully decorated and the hotel sits amongst a spa. They also have a restaurant attached. The place is family run and you could really tell how much thought and effort everyone put into making the place what it is! Everything is perfect. Although it is located a bit further out the city don’t let it put you off because you feel like you are in paradise inside. I got a massage done, which included a sit down with the doctor to tailor the massage to my health and wellbeing :) Staff are amazing and really kind too. A big thank you to all the staff for making it an amazing stay and especially to Fara for all your help :)

Chan Living - thank you for such a wonderful stay!! The staff members were so friendly and exceptional, making us feel welcomed. We had fresh towels everyday and housekeeping was excellent - the property was always kept so clean and tidy. Free shuttle services to the jetty in the morning was so great for island hopping! The breakfast buffet had good variety (especially catering towards ppl with different dietary requirements as my friends were vegan and vegetarian, and delicious too. The boss’ son was a wonderful and friendly individual, super helpful when asked about queries such as local food in Semporna and going out of his way to help us. He was the best!! You could do your laundry here for free as well, which was super helpful! For foreigners travelling alone, this place makes you feel right at home and safe. My friends and I absolutely loved our stay here and definitely recommend this place to everyone.

The room was spacious, and had a welcoming feel. I stayed in room 3, it had big windows making the room feel more spacious. The air-conditioning works well. Got the whole kitchen at our disposal too. Worth the stay imo. The host is really helpful with the checking in process.

Great location and super comfy, I felt safe and at home. Semporna isn’t the most charming of towns, but Amazing Rooms played a big part in making my visit to Semporna amazing! I hope to be back.

Charming and well equipped. Well operated and good communication with the owners. Good view of the road leading to Mesilou and well enough away from Kundasang town to be quiet. Good experience having hot coffee at the balcony watching the sun rise over the mountain range.

VIRTA Guesthouse is great if you prefer the comfort of having your own place while visiting Sandakan. We enjoyed all the space we had and the cozy/functional outside area where we were able to cook some meals. Places like the Orangutan Sanctuary and Rainforest Discovery Center are about a 20 minute drive from the house. It is pretty easy & affordable to use Grab (Malaysia's Uber) to get back and forth, though having a car would be more comfortable. The host is also very responsive and friendly.
