My friends and I stayed in this inn last February for 3 days and 2 nights. The room is very clean as well as the bath room. It has cool airconditioning, small tv with cable and free wifi though you have to go out from your room to connect cause the wifi signal is not available in the room. We also rented the small kitchen at the ground floor to cook our own food. The kitchen has complete cooking and eating utensils too. After cooking, we all ate on the rooftop. It has several chairs and tables and the ambiance is perfect. We even did our drinking session there. The manager and the helper are very nice and friendly. The place is also quiet, cause its that near to the beach front. The disadvantage there is you'd have to walk in an alley which is a bit dark at night before you get there. I really recommend this place. For Php1200/night, 2 queen size bed and an extra queen size mattress for 6 people, its surely worth it.

I would like to recomend this place to everyone, who wants to stay in White Beach longer and doesnt like the noice from beachfront bars. Liked rooftop where you can sit and observe life. They use even solar panel for water heating. Place would be hard to find first time without guide. But if you call Mr. Arman in advance, he will send someone to fetch you from ferry or jepney. Place is clean and only minute or two from beach by walk. Ask Mr. Arman if you need anything, he will always give you good advice.

my wife and i are always visiting Puerto Galera every summer ever since we're not yer married. And during our Honeymoon we opted to stay in Puerto Galera since this was the place where i proposed to her. The hotel where we normally stay didnt actualy have the ambiance suited for a newlywed couple. Thanks to our friend Onin(the bankero) he brought us to BANGERA INN ..the place was small but it was amazing... the design ..the ambiance was perfect for a newlywed.... the room was so clean and the staffs were superrr friendly... they even brought us indian mangos in our rooms during our stay. Though it was almost 2 years ago, BANGERA left a great impression on us. And now that my boss from UK is planning to visit puerto galera..i immediately checked online to get the contact.. I just texted Mr. Arman almost 1am just to check if the number is still working..and in less than a minute he rung me and advised about the room rates..and have it reserved for this weekend. This is the BEST..the Greatst Accomodation ever.... TUHMBS UP!!! -Eron G.C.

Me and my wife had a wonderful experience staying in this hotel. There are many accommodations in Puerto Galera and I'm so glad that I chose this hotel. Although it is situated at the back of another resort, it is not that far from the beach! The location is also great because it is away from the party noise at night, proving you with a very restful sleep. The room we slept in is just right for our needs. It has a flatscreen cable TV, aircon, hot and cold shower, a cabinet, a ceiling fan and free wifi. They also have a kitchen that you can rent if you're on a tight budget. Kuya Arman, Kuya Mando and especially Ate Debbie treated us like family and that what made this hotel very exceptional. Me and my wife (along with our kids) will definitely come back here. I've already recommended this hotel to family and friends.

me and my bf stayed here from Oct.17-19 2014. The location of Inn is situated more or less 2 mins walk from the beach. kuya Arman (at the front desk.I think he's the owner) is very approachable and kind. The room is clean, with AC, TV,bathroom with provided towels. it is highly recommended for those in a tight budget.

My cousins and I stayed here for just 1 night. The owner was a bit snobish but the wife was welcoming. They have clean rooms and they keep the place as clean as possible. Its not by the beachfront but i like it that way, just because i like it quiet. All in all, this place is a good value for money for travelers out there.

This place is one of best deals you will get on white beach! Close by the beach (behind dreamwave), friendly staff and excellent rooms for what you pay. The interior of the place is also nice and there is a rooftop were you can hang out.

We loved our stay here. Owner was very kind. Staff as well. I love the rooftop! Sooo relaxing! Can't wait to go back. The place was about 2 minutes walk from the beach but it's worth it. Away from the noisy crowd!

It was my first time to travel solo to Puerto Galera to attend the yearly Malasimbo Festival and I was lucky to have come across Bangera Inn when I did my research for reasonably priced accommodations in the White Beach area.
First off, booking a room was breeze. The inn’s manager Arman Alviz responds to text messages immediately and was glad to answer my questions. If you are a solo traveler, inform him that you’ll be staying there solo so he can adjust the prices of the rooms for you (I got a P2,500 room for three days, two nights!).
Upon arrival in White Beach, Kuya Arman picked me up at an eatery (where the free shuttle of FSL ferry dropped me off) then he led the way through pathways behind other resorts and private houses, a short cut about a couple of minutes walk going to the inn (if you are coming from the beachfront area, Bangera Inn is about five- to seven-minute walk from where the boats dock. It’s at the back of Dreamwave Resort).
When I entered the inn, there was a small, clean open lobby where guests can hang out. That’s where the reception desk is, too. Upon check in (which was also a breeze by the way), Kuya Arman made sure that I put on the inn’s logbook my pertinent information needed in case of emergency since I was traveling alone. I appreciate that gesture that gave me a sense of safety at the onset.
I was booked on the third floor and I noticed the charming staircases and the colored glass windows that creates a great ambiance especially when the sunlight shines on them. Also adding a Mediterranean touch to the inn is its Spanish floor tiles.
My room is quite small but just enough for me. There’s a huge cabinet, a side table, a flat-screen TV (on cable) and the best thing of all, air-conditioning is superb! The bathroom is bigger than I expected. It was clean, there was hot and cold shower and a pail and dipper, too. Water pressure is good. Please take note that the inn does not provide toiletries but guests are provided towels. The queen-size bed is ok, too with some pillows and a simple blanket. I had a good night’s sleep. The day of my check out, Kuya Arman helped me book a ferry going back to Manila.
Over all, I enjoyed my stay. This accommodation is worth your money. I wish my stay had been longer, though. Guests should take note that meals are not available with the amount you will pay, which covers just the accommodation. Also, you can have your water bottle refilled at the reception for only P10 or 25 cents. I highly recommend this place not just for solo travelers on a budget but also for group of friends and families, too.

"If you are travelling as a couple or just a group of 4, the Inn is ideally good.
But for large group like 6-10 people in a room, i think everyone will be having a hard time to sleep. Even their biggest rooms can't accommodate a big crowd."
