Don´t book the absolutley overpriced backpackers lodge. The crew in the Hotel is very nice and they have a lovley pool with nice game. But that´s all unfortunatly, the Chinese Manager is a mess, she regulates everything and try´s to rip off everybody. The rooms are absolutly overpriced for that value. You don´t have walls and you hear everything from... More

Location is nice with 360 degrees seaview since it was built right on top of the coral reef. No mosquitos/bugs which is quite relieving in the tropics climate. Note the standard package offers mixed dorm lodging and shared bathrooms, we upgraded to the deluxe room which has attached bathrooms for extra $$. Electricity is unavailable from 9-11AM and 2-5 PM... More

We have no complaint against the hotel during the stay but have little comment on its pre/ post sale service. Whilst offering 3D2N for Open water diver course, the customer service failed to inform us that it is fatal for a diver to take a flight within 18 hours after multiple dives. For that reason, we had to cancel our... More

Whether or not you like this place will depend what you're looking for. I initially thought I fancied three days of doing absolutely nothing on this floating island, but immediately got very bored: it was virtually deserted in early June, which I thought would be peak time. And there's nowhere else to go. But if you fancy complete peace and... More

We selected Singamata to stay and to consider the diving package after reading about it in other travel books as well as on trip advisor. I have to say as a budget choice, it was good. The service from the office based in Semporna was excellent, and very helpful. We opted to stay one night, then to complete a days... More

we stayed for a 2 day, 3 night package, the place is very nice until we entered our room, which was very basic and the shared bathrooms were disgusting. Apart from that we could not get an upgrade (even we were willing to pay huge amount of money) because the staff at the reception couldnt just not handle something like... More

We are really sorry that did not have a good experience at Singamata. We work hard to ensure our customers are happy. Ours is a budget accommodation and this does mean that most rooms are shared bathrooms. We also work hard to ensure that our guests have a great experience while diving the reefs in the area. We will look... More

We have great diving right off the site, plus we have a sea aquarium with some really large fish that you can swim around or even dive with. We also have free wi-fi for those wanting to stay in touch with the rest of the world, or perhaps show off your beautiful surroundings to envious work colleagues on facebook!
