We stayed here for 3 nights. We arrived early and asked the receptionist if they have early check in but sadly, there was no available room. We left our luggage at the property instead and went to Dmall to have lunch. We came back at 2PM and checked in. The room itself is ok. Good thing are our room was at the ground floor so it was very accessible. The beds and sheets were all white, it was a medium sized room with toilet and aircon. There was a long chair in front of the toilet which we used to placed our stuff on. There was also a mini cabinet, TV and lamp that we did not use. They also have bidet and rain shower head which have the options for warm and normal water. They also serve delicious breakfast with good serving. We really loves their beef tapa, daing na bangus and vietnamese coffee. Ate who served us food and the receptionists were also very helpful and approachable. We asked them on how to get around and they answered us politely with a smile. Very close to the back beach (bulabog beach), it was very windy during our stay and there were a lot of kites. Very close to the famous coconut tourist spot as well. However, if you don’t like walking everyday to and from station 2 & Dmall this hotel may not be for you. Nananakit binti namin kakalakad sa shore and then pabalik sa hotel, medyo hassle maglakad pabalik lalo na if pagod kana and tahimik at medyo madilim din ang daanan sa gabi so if matatakutin ka not advisable. But if you’re on a budget and want to experience Boracay and don’t really mind walking or paying for etryke, then this hotel is perfect for you.
My overall rating would be:
Room: 8/10 Distance to bulabog beach: 10/10 Distance to Dmall & Station 2: 7/10 Breakfast Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Toilet: 5/10 (please clean it with zonrox because the strong scent of urine cannot be removed by simply wiping the toilet off, my mom complained to me a lot about the pungent smell of urine. The smell is stuck in the toilet itself)

Hi randomgirlinblack, Thanks a bunch for sharing such a detailed review! We're so happy you loved our breakfast and coffee, especially the beef tapa, daing na bangus, and Vietnamese coffee—those are definitely guest favorites. We're sorry about the early check-in situation and the issue with the toilet. We appreciate your honest feedback, and we’ll make sure to address the cleaning concern ASAP. Your mom deserves a fresh-smelling bathroom, and we’re on it! We’re glad you found our location convenient for Bulabog Beach and that our team was helpful and friendly. We get that the walk to D'Mall and Station 2 can be a bit of a trek, but we hope the peaceful vibes here make up for it. Looking forward to welcoming you back on your next Boracay trip—maybe with some even comfier walking shoes or a ready etrike! Safe travels,

Stayed here for a week and wished I hadn't moved to a different accommodation for my 2nd week in Boracay. The place is quaint, all the staff are friendly and accommodating, and their complimentary breakfast is the best! The other foods on the menu are also good - I think this is one of my favorite places to eat Filipino food on the island.
B&B is just a few steps from the back beach and a few minutes walk to D'Mall. As someone who has been to Boracay several times, I prefer staying in the back beach as it's more laid back. The alley going to the B&B is well-lit so I didn't feel afraid of walking at night - it's the same alley going to 7Stones. For some reason, the main street going to the back beach is unlit so it's better to use the alley.

We had an amazing 5-day, 4-night stay here, which included daily breakfast for three people. The breakfast was delicious, and their Vietnamese coffee was fantastic. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always greeting us with a warm smile. It's the perfect place to relax—quiet and just a 2-minute walk to Bulabog Beach, the best spot to watch the sunrise. Definitely worth it. Thank you!

My friend and I picked this spot based on great reviews, and it didn't disappoint! It's laidback, away from the touristy hubbub, yet just a short walk to the White Beach. The location is a minute away from Balabag beach which offers a serene alternative to the bustling Boracay scene.
But let's talk about the food – it's amazing! Lazy Dog's breakfast and Whiskey's Burger are absolute must-tries. Every meal was a hit! Walang tapon dito! We will definitely come back because of their food as our top reason!!!
One small downside was that some of the female staff seemed a bit distant, but the guys – security, servers, and chef – were incredibly helpful and friendly. Big shoutout to them!

I traveled solo. When I was looking for a place to stay, my requirements were only to find a transient that offered a good bed to sleep in, a secure place for me and my valuable things, and a quiet place where I could rest, read my book, and work on my laptop simultaneously. I didn't expect Lazy Dog Bread & Breakfast to offer that.
Paying through their website for room reservations was safe and secure even when I paid my remaining balance at the accommodation.
They have a 24/7 guard, and their staff are kind and polite.
Their food is so awesome that I couldn't say No. Their serving is so good that I thought it was for two people. Because of that, I eat my complimentary breakfast as "brunch" and have dessert outside instead of having lunch again.
I didn't expect that they would have a hot shower in a bunk bed or dorm-type room. That was where I stayed, not in an expensive room.
One thing that I hope they have, is a swimming pool, but with their setup, I doubt they will build one, but who knows.
I also like the location. In 3 minutes, you are at Bulabog beach. In 5-10 minutes, you are in D'Mall, and it is a few walks to the beachfront. As someone who explores places by walking, I get to experience the beauty and hidden gems of Boracay.
I will go back to Boracay in totality. Will I book my accommodation back at Lazy Dog Bread & Breakfast? My answer is a big yes!

It was my first time to visit this restaurant and been hearing it for multiple times and ive seen videos on tiktok. So we tried.
Ambience - place was quite and cozy. The sit down set up was cool and you will feel like you’re home.
Food- food wise, we ordered different breakfast dish it was good naman.
Price - very affordable
Location - its not easy to find as it is situated in the middle and you really need to look for it. But its very well-known so you can always ask the neigborhood.

4 star for friendliness and service. What you see is what you get.. They serve a hefty and delicious breakfast with lots of options. Accessability is also good, close the the beach and walking distance to D'Mall and station 2 isn't that far. The only thing is that the lacking of street lighting at night as a solo traveler I felt uncomfortable walking alone late at night from outside. Nevertheless, it's a great value for a price. Got a comfy queen bed and a simple but neat and tidy room. Just be aware that if you want your room cleaned you need to let them know. I'll definitely recommend the place and would love to stay again if I visit Boracay.

We had to book a place that was pet-friendly, and were apprehensive when we heard that they also had dogs. However, the dogs were really nice! The food was also really good that we extended our stay and bought their homemade chorizo, tapa, and tocino. Every item in the menu was really scrumptious and worth every peso, both in flavor and portions! The staff were also very accommodating and efficient. They also had hot water and very comfortable beds. Overall 10/10 would definitely come back!

2018 was my first time going to Boracay and stayed at Lazy Dog, and one of the reasons why I keep on coming back to the island is because of Lazy Dog. I love how homey and chill the vibe is at Lazy Dog, I love their delicious food, their staff and mostly Chili and Miel. I already made a deal with myself to visit Boracay yearly and stay at my favorite place which is The Lazy Dog Bed and Breakfast ❤️
