Property was newly renovated so we had a beautiful new room to ourselves . Bed was comfortable, views were absolutely gorgeous. We even saw a turtle right in front of our room. The owners were absolutely amazing; very accommodating, helped us with everything from booking tours to transport. Food was delicious, and they even helped us haggle for fresh seafood

The staff all friendly and helpful. A nice bonus having free transportation to/from town. The room is small but if you travel light then enough space. Nice hot shower with free toiletries. Lots of self-serve laundry close by. The bed was firm but comfortable.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Firefly Resort in Semporna! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was calm, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing. The resort truly feels like a peaceful escape while still being a great base for exploring the area. The breakfast selection was excellent, with plenty of choices to suit everyone’s taste. Every morning felt like a treat. One of the biggest advantages is the free shuttle to Semporna town, which makes getting around super convenient. To be honest, Semporna town itself wasn’t really our thing — but that made staying at Firefly Resort even better. Even if your main goal is to visit the nearby islands, this resort is the perfect place to stay: peaceful, beautifully designed, and very well located for day trips. In short, Firefly Resort is a true gem in Semporna. We would absolutely stay here again!

The balcony is the best part for a diver with their wet equipments, and it's the crucial reason why I chose here. It took a night and my equipment all dry. The free shuttle between the jety and the hotel is convenient, and the only thing I have to do is to make a single call telling where I am. Though the hallway is full of durian smell from other guests, the room still smell free from it. The room has sufficient international sockets, good.

Once a humble coastal town, it’s now becoming increasingly tourist-oriented. Seafood tends to be on the pricier side unless you’re skilled at bargaining. Diving here offers mostly smaller marine life, especially when compared to the vibrant underwater scenes of the Maldives. Night dives aren’t permitted unless you’re staying at one of the pricier water resorts that offer in-house diving. It’s fine for a short getaway, but there’s not much in the way of standout attractions or culinary experiences.

Semporna is essentially a fishing town and island transport hub. Not much appeal in my opinion other than it being the start/finish point for most Sipidan diving trips; that’s the only real pull for tourists, and unless you are heading out to the islands there are probably other nicer places on Borneo.

The place is not for everybody, very poor people, small homeless children playing and begging around, however I enjoyed the local experience. There is nothing to do here so if you are going for diving you are ok or for an island hopping tour that was very nice snorkelling.

Semporna is a scruffy little town that's trying to up its game but unfortunately has a ways to go. The beautiful outlying islands draw loads of tourists with zero environmental awareness. The local tour operators do little to encourage good practices. The streets and particularly the harbor are full of trash. The locals eat out about half the time so restaurant options are abundant. Prices for just about everything are low and snorkeling and other tours offer good value. If you go to dive or snorkel, please bring up some trash after making sure nothing is living on it.

This is the filthiest town we have visited.

This is the filthiest town we have visited. There is garbage everywhere, including the ocean that washes it onto the beaches tourists come to visit. Footpaths are broken and full of trip hazards as well as being non-existent in some places. Fortunately they drive slowly and avoid people walking on the road. Little children begging is another sad reality. However, the snorkelling is still much better than KK,and you'll get used to the garbage after a couple of days. The waterfront restaurant strip has great cheap seafood.

You really need a local guide to make sure you stay in areas that are safe and clean. If you do your research, there are lot of amazing things to see and explore. 10/10 would recommend island hopping boat tour for a day.

The reason for why i book this place is that all the reviews for hotel in the down town are so terrible. Timba Garden the room is big and clean and i truely like rice with egg and fish the breakfast there. The area is so nice and people are all very knid. It takes about 30mins from town to arrive. They pick us up and send us to the town which is also very nice.

Pretty amazed with this place, it has everything to be considered convenient at your own home and so much value for the price we paid, at first we thought it was just a decent choice in between places for Semporna but it's just wow, the bed was super comfortable - last time I remembered a bed that comfortable was in some 5 star hotel in KL - no jokes!
