I only stay for one night in Borneo Beachhouse. It was a Saturday, We were heading to Tanjung Aru for some beach scene and saw this little house. Went in and ask for price. RM70 for a private room (shared toilet,shared kitchen) is worthy for the location. walking distance to the beach. There are few cute cats staying there too.... More

The owner made me feel at home. The place is really quiet and safe. It is also good for those who are in transit or just need a bed after a night flight as it is walking distance from the airport (KKIA terminal 2). There are many food options 5 minutes from the property. The room is quite clean but... More

The hostel is located very nice, close to the beach and the airport with many food options. The staff is very helpful. Beds and sheets are well used but clean. Its a nice place to relax, hang out and you meet other travelers. More

the location is near the airport. about 5-10 minutes walk. the "free" beach is also near about 3-5 minutes walk. rooms were fine. some have their own comfort room, if not, there are public comfort rooms available. which are clean! there is a public kitchen where you can cook your own food. the kitchen is complete with toaster, ref, microwave...

The Borneo BeacHouse is a lovely place to stay. All of the staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. They always go the extra mile to make sure that you have an enjoyable stay. Not only is the hostel close to Terminal 2 airport but it is only a 5min walk to the beach! If you want to head down town... More

so... if you are looking for a place to stay overnight its not too bad, if you stay one night youll get a sense of the staff and you'll probably be sleeping your room. but if your looking for somewhere to stay for a few weeks it perfect! if you stay few weeks you'll see how helpful the staff is...

This place is suitable for the night before you fly out of Kota Kinabalu because it is walking distance to the airport and the toilets and showers are clean. Beyond that, give it a miss and find a cleaner, quieter place to stay would be my advice. Staff use it as their 'band practice' venue starting at 6.30am some days,... More

Even though it is out of town I think its location is perfect. KK the city is nothing special but Tanjung Aru is a great spot. It's 5-10 minutes walk to the airport (no night time flights) and less than 5 mins to the beach where there is a great open air hawker centre where you can sit, eat fantastic... More
