The house was easy to check in and immaculate on arrival and spacious. Little play corner in the room was cheery on top as my child loved it. Beds were comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

An Unforgettable Stay at Bonheur! Our recent stay at the Bonheur at Karambunai, Sabah, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the serene atmosphere of this stunning retreat, set against the backdrop of lush greenery and the crystal-clear waters of the South China Sea. Impeccable Design and Comfort The villa itself is a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Spacious, tastefully furnished, and equipped with all the modern amenities one could wish for, it offered the ideal sanctuary for relaxation. The highlight, of course, was the private pool. It was perfectly maintained, offering us a private space to unwind while soaking in the breathtaking views of the ocean and the surrounding landscape. The villa's open-plan design made it feel expansive and airy, with large windows allowing natural light to flood the space. Exceptional Service The service provided by the staff was impeccable. From the warm check-in process to the thoughtful touches throughout our stay, we felt genuinely cared for. It was clear that guest satisfaction was their top priority, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay to the fullest. Perfect for a Relaxing Getaway Whether you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life or simply want a quiet, private space to unwind, this villa offers the perfect retreat. The location is secluded yet accessible, offering peace and tranquility without being too far from essential amenities. We spent our days lounging by the pool, indulging in delicious meals prepared by the in-house chef, and exploring the nearby beaches.

Amazing owner/manager. We never met in person but they were always answering WhatsApp in one second. (Thank you for everything!) The room was very clean and nice. Cleaning and new towels possible every day. Some cosmetics in the bathroom. A bit small room but for few nights it was ok. Great WiFi and perfect location.

Very good location of the hotel, with easy access all over the city. The room was spacious and very clean. Loved the fact that there was a special make-up mirror in the bathroom! :) The star of my staying was the breakfast! it was the best breakfast i had during my vacation in Borneo! Also the staff very, very kind! i received some very useful tips about things to do around and the best place to watch the sunset... and indeed i witnessed one the best sunsets in my life!

A very big space with all amenities for a longer term stay, such as washing machine, big kitchen, good air conditioning, couches, storage shelves, nice bathroom. Also, a marvelous infinity pool and sunset balcony. Very good security too, and quiet despite being close to the airport. All very good value for money. Our favorite accommodation so far whilst traveling Malaysia.

We picked this hotel because we landed very late and needed a place to stay for 1 night before being picked up by our driver early in the next morning and go on a trip. It was perfect for a temporary accommodation close to the airport. It's also good if you are on a short business trip. I would not choose this hotel for a longer stay, or for holidays.
