Steps to Registration and Certification of Homestays in Sabah

All homestays in Sabah must be registered and certified with the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism
(MOT). The certification process can only be attained after first registering an application with the
Sabah Ministry of Tourism Culture and Environment. After  registering an application, inspections
are carried out of all homestay households, by the appointed inspection committee. The
inspection committee is made up of tourism industry representatives, government officials, and
Sabah Homestay Association committee members. If the homestay meets all requirements and
conditions, the application will be endorsed by the inspection committee and forwarded to the
Federal Ministry of Tourism (MOT) for the final certification process. All certified homestay
households will be given a certificate of accreditation from the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism.
