The place is midrange for Semporna, you can find cheaper, but I would not recomend it. Holiday Dive Inn is a good place to stay, it is confy (very good bed), cable T.V and air con. Try to avoid rooms on the ground floor they are quite noisy. Clean, cute good for the price.

I did my OW course with Sipadan Scuba, so the default option for me to stay in Semporna was Holiday Dive Inn.. Note: The photographs on tripadvisor don't give a real feel of the place. The place is much better than what it looks in those pictures. I didn't book a place in advance, so I had an option to... More

Rooms are basic but good enough for 1 night stay. We are a large group and had to split into two rooms. One of the rooms ( with 6 beds ) had an air con that did not work properly and half the time, we were feeling hot. There are a total of 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets which is... More

Walking inside the dorm room complex I noticed a strong smell of mould. Especially the ventilation of the bathrooms is contaminated (extremely unhealthy!!!), what can be seen by everyone. But also in the rooms you can notice the bad smell. On top of this the dorm rooms have shaking metal bunk beds. An upgrade to an single room at my... More

I live in Semporna and work as a Dive Instructor so have seen the inside of many hotel rooms here. However my accommodation is fairly basic and having just returned from a three day diving trip to Mabul with my visiting girlfriend we wanted to spend our last night together somewhere with hot showers and comfortable beds. I had heard... More

We stayed here for 7 nights whilst diving at Sipadan. The rooms are basic but exceptionally clean. We thought the reception staff were very helpful and location good - right in the centre near the dive operators. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Semporna.

We stayed there for 5 days and couldn't be happier. We arrived late at night and didn't have a booking, nor did they have rooms, but we took up a place in the dorms for the first night. We were the only two people in the dorm room. The next day we went to reception considering going to another hotel... More

Holiday Dive Inn is relatively new and located close to the tourist and dive shops in Semporna. Small hotel with comfortable rooms and reasonable facilities. All your basic mod cons are available and there is nothing to criticise for the price. My room, a double with balcony, was clean and kept clean during my 6 nights stay. Staff were friendly... More
