Coming from a more affordable accomodation with complete amenities, we found this hotel a bit expensive for the value it gave. The first room we stayed in for one night was spacious and clean, but it's on the first floor near the lobby, so it's noisy especially with the guests eating, going out and about, and the staff talking loudly to each other almost endlessly. Because of the typhoon, the power was in and out, and during brownouts, there were no emergency lights or any portable lights provided inside our room. The noise and the power outage made our stay less desirable and disappointing considering we were paying P1, 500 per night. We later learned that we're staying in the new building, and the older, adjacent one has generator, so we requested that we transfer to another room within that wing. They assisted us, but this next room was a lot smaller. It's still neat, and the sheets and towels were fresh, but it's a lot less space for all our stuff. The rice breakfasts were okay and were included in the nightly rates, but I think the slightly toasted three slices of Pinoy Tasty with two sunny side ups were overpriced. On the positive note, the owner and the staff were very friendly. The staff let us re-heat our deliveries and take outs, allowed us borrow their plates and utensils, and helped us in renting a tricycle to get to the view deck and a van to the airport. Not perfect, but a pleasant stay still.

Just a 5 - 10 minute walk from the main town at a very affordable price for a private room. Bed was comfy and the room was very clean plus there's free coffee in the lobby which is a must for those early morning adventures. The staff were very friendly and helpful, I would certainly recommend 👌🏼

Coron is a locality where part of its urban area is on the hillside, the center is overurbanized and confused. Aquilah Homestay is a bit out of hand, but for those who don't get along with some noise and confusion, this will be an accommodation to take into account. Our room for four adults seemed a little spacious to us. Breakfast has several options, we always chose the pancakes and were delicious. The common parts were nice with some spaces to unease or read. Only two less positive points, the access of the street to the accommodation is not illuminated and could be better arranged, Because it is slightly inclined and without lighting, we had always to turn on the flashlight of our mobile phones, even in the day, the path of about 5 meters, we had to be very careful not to slip or twist an ankle. The second point less positive, was a particularity and not general situation. At check-in, we talked about the need, 3 days later, at check-out we need to take the ferry to El Nido. The receptionist told us that it would be enough to book the tickets for the ferry the day before. We trusted but the day before we found out that there were no more seats on the ferry. We really needed to go that day, because we had checked in at another accommodation already paid for. They managed to find us a radical alternative: a boat like those that do the day tours, fully discovered, instead of the trip last 5 hours, this lasted 8 hours and more, instead of leaving at 6 am, we left at 2 am and were still toasted with a very intense rain.

Stayed 5 nights. Exceptionally clean room. Breakfast was good, included in the price. Wifi on our floor was slow, tv signal was not working for 3 days, no safe in room. Staff are very helpful and accommodating, and assisted us to book all our tours.

Very friendly and helpful stuff. Location is quite good...and the place itself is great as it is quite new (clean, espacious, rooms with a/c...). They provide different options fo breakfast and they help you with the booking of tours, transport to airport which save you a lot of time. Definitely a great choice if you plan to visit Coron.

Good homestay! Room is clean, bed is comfy. We paid extra for our breakfast but it was cheap and the breakfast was good. Just little bit outskirts from the town. Thumbs up to the owners (husband and wife) they are very accommodating to their guests.

I stayed in a private room with no window as a stopover before starting a 5 day island trip to El Nido! The host was very friendly (despite it being busy due to a ferry being cancelled). I was offered a welcome drink and they were able to offer a hotel transfer from Busuanga airport and also to the port the next day for my trip (only 50 pesos to the port). My room was clean and comfortable with a good working warm shower and both a fan and AC to choose between. The location isn't bad, only a 10 minute walk from the centre of town but do take a headtorch or other form of light to walk along the main road at night as it is not lit until ypu reach the town! Wifi connection was reasonable and there are plenty of plug sockets around the room for charging devices etc. Breakfast is also included and was lovely (although not what I asked for, though I appreciate it was busy!). There are some very steep almost vertical steps up to some of the rooms (I was in MicMic) so not ideal for anyone with mobility issues! You will also hear cockerels crowing at all times of the night but from travelling around the Philippines this is not unusual anywhere that you go!

Giving four stars for the cleanliness and hospitality of staff! We got a welcome drink on arrival and were greeted with a warm smile any encounter with a staff member! The WiFi was also great at this hotel! The hotel was slightly off the beaten track and wouldn’t be in walking distance at night time to main area of coron town so I recommend getting a scooter if you wish to stay here for your convenience!
