At Sabahbah.com we’re also Internet users and we have the same concerns as you.

You can therefore use the site knowing that any information we receive from you, be it intentionally such as an email addresses when you email us or sign up for a newsletter, or unintentionally through something like your IP address, it will never be sold, traded or deliberately exposed to anyone.

The only exception to this is when you make a hotel booking (please see the next section).

Like every other website on the Internet our server logs your IP address when you visit. This is not used for anything specific, however it is aggregated along with every other visitor to form our visitor statistics.

Hotel Bookings

Sababhbah.com partners with Agoda for hotel accommodation and HostelWorld for backpackers and homestay accommodation. When you book such accommodation, our accommodation partners handle your information and process your credit card, so you should read their terms and conditions before concluding the transaction.

Itineraries will be sent to you with details of how to change or cancel your booking should you need to do so, making your accommodation booking easy and effortless.

Sabahbah.com can assist with accommodation issues only so far as providing you with information. We do not handle any accommodation bookings or monetary transactions ourselves and are therefore unable to make / cancel reservations or charge / refund credit cards.

Advertising

Our listings, write-ups and opinions are not paid for and we will make advertisements clearly distinguishable from our other content.

Sabahbah.com is maintained by people who live here in Sabah. We base our presentation on the critical perspective of tourists combined with the passion of local knowledge.

Wherever possible, we use our own pictures, especially of hotel rooms and facilities, because as travelers ourselves, we know how marketing photos on websites don’t always meet real life expectations.

What excites us most is outstanding service. Attentive staff who show passion for their jobs and their customers. Those people or companies who go the extra mile because they realise the customer is king. We also wax lyrical about well-maintained facilities, more for less or unexpected, pleasant surprises.

On occasion when we find such gems, they could be featured on Sabahbah.com’s front page or perhaps in the different sections, not because they’ve paid for them, but because they’ve genuinely impressed us.

When, on occasion, we do accept an offer to try a new facility / service / product, our write-ups will be as unbiased as possible, but will inevitably be a subjective account of the experience. We usually state when a report / article is based on a deliberate invitation.
