“Improve cleanliness, cutlery preparation, pay attention to cookingware condition and pool cleanliness”
As compared to the other management , Bonheur has refurbished the villa nicely. Scented villa with lemongrass, feels like having a trip to Bali, so relaxing and refreshing. Plants and trees beside the pool has been removed to ensure that there is no leaves and insects will be in the pool. Provided a rinsing area beside the pool that other management didn’t provide.

Had a great stay at this villa. The place is very clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a cozy but slightly luxurious feel. The environment is peaceful and relaxing, and everything we needed was provided. The host was friendly and helpful, and the whole stay went smoothly. Very nice place for a short vacay. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay at Borneo Beach Villas – Karambunai. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming. The host went above and beyond — from preparing thoughtful snacks after our flight to surprising us with extra cake during our stay. A special mention goes to the lovely housekeeper who welcomed us and regularly checked in with a big smile. Her kindness and attentiveness truly made the whole experience feel personal and unforgettable. The villa itself is stunning — spacious, beautifully maintained, and offering breathtaking views. All of these details, combined with the exceptional service, made our stay not just comfortable, but truly memorable. Highly recommended if you're looking for a peaceful getaway with a touch of genuine hospitality.

“We are deeply grateful for this experience and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!”
We are absolutely thrilled with our stay at this villa! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, polite, and helpful — they explained everything in detail, and anytime we asked for something, they responded immediately and made sure we had everything we needed. The villas have everything for a truly comfortable life — spotless clean, beautifully decorated with a stylish modern touch, and they even smell amazing! 🕯️🌿 For 5 days, my husband and I truly relaxed, enjoyed the comfort and breathtaking sea views. The place feels peaceful, private, and very well taken care of. It’s rare to find accommodation that combines design, hospitality, and comfort at this level.

“Relaxing”
The location-wise is quite near to the beach. And the villa is very clean and tidy. The host prepared the villa prior our arrival which was nice. The kitchen utensils are also prepared to use, we did use the kitchen to prepare small meals. And the rubbish bins are all provided too. Landscape wise is very safe. Overall, my family enjoyed our stay

“Great ending and wind down after the rainforests and trekking around.”
The host was waiting for us up[on arrival. We'd given the hour slot - I suspect he'd been there a while earlier 'just in case'. Very positive a polite meeting. Nothing too much trouble. Good selection of snacks and drink upon arrival - which helps as there aren't / weren't local shops. Water filter - hot / cold very useful. Host couldn't do more to make us welcome: cakes in the fridge after a long day in Kinabalu park. We also had top get some emergency dental work - and he immediately helped sort out problems we were having the payment app - just no questions asked! Completely superb.

“Relaxing comfortable and nice family home”
It was a nice villa fully equipped with a great host Nathan. I needed to check in earlier and required an extra day and Nathan was quick in responding and really pleasant to speak to. I liked that we could just chill and just walk down to the beach. The bathroom at master bedroom was really good with a nice bath tub.

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.

“If you want to relax and stay outside of KK, this is the best place to do it”
This villa is located directly at the beach with an amazing view. You have your own veranda, sun beds and a pool. Inside it is spacious, very clean and with a beautiful interior. Nathan our host was lovely, warm and welcoming. He helped us with everything we needed - be it laundry, a transportation, backbacks storage or recommendation for food or sightseeing. Thank you for this wonderful stay. We enjoyed it very much and can highly recommend it.
