This is a sleepy little part of the world if you just want to kick back and chill out without too many mod cons. The rooms are clean and basic, with a nice little deck out the front. Big tip book the ones facing the ocean the others are around the back and do not have a nice outlook, a... More

Tommy's Place at the Tip Of Borneo is a great location. It's located steps to a beautiful white sandy beach and the warm South China Sea waiting for ideal swimming. Walk in the warm water and start swimming. The 3 Chalet's are the best although pricey. Also, a 15-minute walk to the Tip of Borneo where you see the Philippines... More

Staff was friendly and not far from beach and Simpang Menggayau. Beach was clean, water was clearer than island near KK and deserted. Perfect for snorkelling. Room condition and toilet was good with water heater. However, bath water pressure was a bit low for a pleasure bath. Overall, we are amazed with such pleasant stay at this isolated part of... More

We stayed in a few places at the tip and Tommy's was by far the best. The chalets were nicely done, and the villas looked excellent too. My only worry is that there didn't seem to be many people staying in any of the places at the tip, so I hope they are able to make a good living as... More

Tommy's Place is overlooks the beautiful beach at the Tip of Borneo. We stayed in the new villas, perched above the original rooms and restaurant. The view was outstanding, and the room was a very pleasant surprise. Tastefully decorated, fully equipped (mini fridge, A/C, comfortable beds), and with its own thatched-roof covered veranda - separate from the main villa. This... More

A very pleasant little guest house just across a quiet road from a huge unspoilt beach. Tommy's has rooms and chalets. We stayed in a room, only the triples have double beds, forcing couples to have to pay the triple fee, even though the room is the same. That said, because we stayed for several days we negotiated a discount.... More

Me and two friends came here after a very busy few weeks travelling in Sabah and Sarawak. Was the best decision. Originally planned to stay 2 days here ended up spending 4 days here. The rooms are clean and comfortable , they are basic but you wouldn't want more. The location is ideal right across the road from the beach.... More
