Such a lovely stay in Semporna! So clean, great facilities (hot water, washing machine, shared kitchen and dining area, slippers to walk around in). The highlight was the owner, he was SO KIND and friendly, always smiling, honestly one of the nicest guys we have come across travelling in Asia! He even sorted our laundry for us by splitting the load which he had no obligation to do. Little things like moving our trainers as the sun moved so they dried better. He's a gem and so is this place. 🫶🏽 very affordable too! You will feel at home here.

My stay in DZ Backpacker was awsome, the girl at reception is so kind and helpful. The place is clean, quite and well located, 5 min from jetty. I was passing my open water diver license and need a place where to revise elearning, DZ backpacker gave me this opportunity. You can also meet travelers in the common area.They can also arrange tours and transfer to Tawau airport. I recommend this place 100%.

What a beautiful place run by the most lovely Malays. The place is impeccably clean and super efficiently run. It is close to all ammenities and they can even book all the tours for you and will shortly be running their own scuba diving programs. I would highly recommend staying here if only just to experience Malay hospitality at it finest.

All hostels in Semporna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I had a great stay at Island backpackers in a private room and extended a few times. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. Free breakfast of toast, spreads, boiled eggs & bananas was more than many hostels. The place is basic, but it does the job if you’re hoping to do diving / snorkeling day trips.

Amazing stay and comfortable bed. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Liked this area more vs the waterfront. Very good value for money. The hostel arranged transport to the airport which was the cheapest I could find!

The hostel was great with arranging for a late airport pickup for much cheaper than anything else. Spent a night here before heading to Mabul Island and it worked out. It's amazing that they include breakfast for that price. The companies they recommend for tours and diving are good companies and the prices are amongst the cheapest in all of Semporna.
