The room is big, clean and comfortable. The bed is cozy. I really love the environment. It only takes less than 5 minutes from the cabin to the main roads and to pekan Kundasang. No heavy traffic. There is also a nearby mini restaurant that sells Kundasang famous barbeque honey chicken wings. The aunty probably the owner of the cabins was really friendly and nice, Overall, i really love this place and would like to stay here again.

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 :)

So spacious, well furnished, probably the most comfortable bed we’ve stayed in Malaysia over the last 6 weeks! Great aircon. Photos don’t do it justice. Staff very helpful, welcoming and kind, very responsive to messages about checking in and out. Lots of places to order food from and kitchen area to cook in if needed. Very close to airport and easy to get grab to.

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.
