Api-Api Studio #A @Downtown City Apartment 2/4pax
My stay at Catherine's place was absolutely wonderful! The apartment was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Catherine was an incredibly welcoming and responsive host, offering thoughtful touches that made me feel right at home. The location was fantastic, conveniently close to shops and a mall, yet peaceful and quiet during the evenings. I highly recommend Catherine's Airbnb to anyone visiting the area—I would definitely stay here again!

Seaview 3BR 8-10 pax walk distance Jesselton Jetty
Our family checked in on the 7th floor. There were elderly people and children. The host very kindly provided drinking water. Since we were on a flight in the early morning, they also specially prepared instant noodles and coffee drinks for us. It was really very considerate.The house is very big, three rooms, three bathrooms, very convenient to use, and there is a balcony with sea view.The location is right next to Gaya Street and Jesselton Pier, there are several 24-hour supermarkets downstairs, it is very convenient to go to Gaya Street for food or to the pier to catch a ferry.By the way, the pool view on the top floor is also very good. It's really nice to soak in the pool and watch the sunset in the afternoon when the sun is setting. It's a great first stay. I'll definitely book again when I come to Sanya.

Rainforest Home Jit@Git
We traveled with friends, and the six of us (four adults and two kids) stayed at Welyne and Gilles' home during our visit to Sarawak. We all had a wonderful time. The house is situated in a peaceful and scenic location, perfect for relaxing and recharging. It’s also conveniently close to the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, about a 30-minute drive from downtown. The house itself is well-maintained, comfortable with pool, and very well equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. Welyne and Gilles were excellent hosts—very friendly and accommodating. We especially appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the local culture, enjoy delicious meals, and take part in a durian tasting that Welyne kindly arranged. Thank you for a lovely stay. We hope to visit again in the future!

Picture Perfect Private House on Mabul
It was a super place and my family and I had a very memorable 2 days.Everything including the views, the food, the drinks, and the service were so perfect and everyone of us loved it.Nor is a really great diving instructor, he knows so many snorkeling spots, and although it's not the first time for snorkeling, we reap a new wonderful experience here.Everyone sees the turtles as they wish, as well as a variety of beautiful fish and corals.It's worth mentioning that the food is fantastic, and every meal is delicious and abundant, and my family especially love Nor's well-cooked sea fish and blended lemonade.Also, it's not a pleasure to buy seafood here and the Ba Yao people.I very much like tiger and jiji, tiger relatives are calm, jiji is lively and cute, in such a nice environment, spending time with two small cute, also good memories of our trip.Finally, thank you to all the staff here for everything, they were friendly and attentive.Special thanks to Nor for the tuna meal (he heard that Chinese eat fish when they celebrate the New Year).Would recommend for all to come and experience it was definitely more than I could have imagined and a great value for money.Hope to be back again.

On top of the all excellent amenities and facilities such as bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, the host really pull an effort to make the place feels like home by providing indoor boardgames such as scrabble, carrom and congkak, which lighten up the moods for my kids. Overall, excellent stay and highly recommended.

✨Hidden Gem Luxury 3BR Seaview at Imago The Loft
Late at night, after landing, the internet setting on my phone didn't work well, so I arrived at the airport using the airport WiFi. I only sent a message and left, but the host was already waiting for us in the lobby. It was a trip with three generations, and there was a room where each person could maintain their privacy. There is also a spacious living room, so you can stay together when you want to be together. All amenities were within walking distance, and the convenient and spacious pool was nice. The open sea view from the living room was impressive, and you can see the sunset from the room. I am willing to revisit 100%.
