You can find much better accommodation in coron town for the same price. We booked a room for 1800php with a queen bed for our last 2 nights. Our previous inn costs less than 200php more but way way way better than what we got here. -rooms are not dirty, but not super clean either. -paints are old -floors are worn out -AC is super noisy -bathroom tiles are moldy -shower is weird -staff are really trying their best to be nice -wooden furniture including the bed looks old. Dresser looks weird. You can't actually put anything inside it. -tv is super TINY -the whole place actually looks tired and really needs some cleaning and renovating The good thing about this hotel is the location. Really near everything. And its surprisingly quiet despite being on a busy road. If the price…

At the front door of the hotel, you don't know what to expect but once you go in, nice small garden and the nicely decorated reception are waiting for you. I really liked the wooden objects here and there. The room was very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. You have some options for the breakfast and they bring your plate to your table at the set time. This hotel does not serve food or drinks; only breakfast. So, if you want to have a cup of coffee during the day, you need to go out and buy. The location was perfect, close to everywhere. If you want to buy boat trip tours, buy it from the hotel. It comes with a discount and they provide transportation to the pier and back as well. Oh, and don't book a room facing the street. The other side is much more quite.

A decent stay all-in-all. I expected a homey stay. But, it ended up as a utilitarian bed and breakfast. Tours and transfers are not directly provided by Balaibinda, so if there are hiccups or issues, they are not exactly helpful. 1. Transfers Coron has a problem with van transfers now, so you have to grab tricycles to/fro the airport. I pre-booked a van transfer with Balaibinda, but was informed of the issue only upon arrival by the van operator. The transfer was uncertain when I got there, but I got to Coron eventually anyway. The van driver did a compromise of bringing me to the town border, and I hailed myself a tricycle for 20 pesos along the main road. If you are new to Coron, there's a terminal just outside the Arrivals area of the airport, usual rate from airport to…

I stayed one night in Balaibinda Lodge upon arrival to Coron. I had booked a single room but changed to a bigger room to share with a friend (Had a double and a single bed). We got a room on the second floor which was noisy in spite of being over a busy road. The room was fairly clean and comfy. Breakfast was okay, they order it from outside. Only instant coffee was included and tea was extra (meh). They helped to arrange the transportation to the airport for 150PHP (shared van). Location is convenient as it's walk distance to the main street where bars/restaurants are. Staff needs a bit of training and to smile a bit more, but they were helpful.

Stayed here for 6 nights. The room is clean and the hot shower works great. The staffs there are nice and helpful. Location is in the town proper, so we always just walk to the hotel from the dock after our daily island tours. Breakfast is also included. Overall its a basic accomodation but the service and location is superb.

We booked this hotel at the end of our trip in Palawan and that was the best hotel we did! The room is really clean, sheet are white and soft, aircon is working well, bathroom was new and clean with hot water working! I totally recommend this hotel! Ask for a room not facing the street to avoid noise, wifi not working all the time.

After reading some online reviews, I was a little nervous to stay here, but ultimately, I was pleasantly surprised and had a great stay! The rooms are a good size and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The front desk staff was very helpful and helped me book multiple tours. The location is also great - you are in the heart of Coron town and very close to the port, where all of the tours depart. You are also close to the market where you can buy fresh fish and other food and beverages. The two downsides is that there is no separate stall for the shower, but you can ask for more towels, and this is a cheap hotel option, and that breakfast can be slow/late in the morning. Also, Wifi is a little slow, but this is common in all of Coron and sometimes it is nice to unplug.…

We stayed here for two nights as we wanted to stay centrally for our coron trip. Group of 5. Location- very good. right in the middle of town proper! Plenty of tricycles about to take you to and from places. Also, the port where boats will take you for island hopping is only five minutes away by tricycle. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby! Room-for group of 5, we had 5 single beds and breakfast with hot and cold drinks included. Breakfast was adequate for the price and must be pre-ordered the night before. Amenities- no pool. They have rooftop hanging out area though we never used it. Budget lodging if you want to stay in town proper. Do not expect luxury. It is a budget friendly lodge. Staff- accommodating. We had issues with our sink nearly coming off the wall and…
