We originally booked 2 nights at the Paolyn Houseboats 8 months in advance. We saw a video while planning our trip and knew we had to stay here. Nothing could have prepared us for what we experienced during our stay, we were fully blown away by the friendly staff, the stunning views, and the commitment to guest experience and comfort.

Our stay started two days early when we received a message from Mickz in guest relations. Some guests had missed their flight and were hoping to get some of the cost of their booking back. Mickz brokered the sale for everyone and we luckily ended up with two extra nights on two upgraded boats than the one we originally booked. So big thank you to Mickz for not only making that happen but also taking care of us every time we had to transfer boats.

We stayed on the Bamboo Houseboat, the Half Superglass Houseboat, and in a Small Enlarged Double Room. The Half Superglass was definitely our favourite and is perfect for 6 people to stay very comfortably. It’s undoubtedly the penthouse-boat. However, even the double room was comfortable, had lots of room for storage, and was extremely enjoyable.

The cleanliness and function of the rooms at Paolyn is impressive. One of the cleanest stays we had and the only one where the staff had to come by boat! If the power or internet went out it was back up and running in minutes which again is very impressive for solar powered houseboats.

The way things operate at Paolyn will have you feeling like royalty. Room service is included and the staff are quick to respond and the friendliest at any hotel I’ve stayed at. Food is priced more than fairly considering they have to pick ingredients up daily by boat and the portions are the biggest we’ve had during our 3 weeks in the Philippines.

The lagoons the boats house you in are all beautiful. We saw wild monkeys on the shore our first evening! Paolyn provides snorkelling gear at no extra charge, which we had paid 400PHP-700PHP for at other stays. The snorkelling off the boats was amazing, coral and a variety of wildlife within meters. Kayaks are also provided if you’d like to tour around the lagoons on your own.

In summary, you will not have a better experience at any accommodation in the Philippines, especially near Coron. It’s one of a kind and they don’t just rely on the location to do it, the staff, the boats, the lagoons, the history, etc. are all part of why it will be the best stay of your trip.

We stayed here for 2 nights with a couple of our friends. Rented out the Super Halfglass Houseboat. It exceeded our expectations. Yes we may have paid more for just the 4 of us but location and its room were simply surreal. Staff were prompt and always were there to cater for your every need and any other questions you may have. We took a private half day tour and another to hire the boat to take us to the main town of Coron. Both experiences were amazing. Food was generous in size and tasted as yummy as it looks. Overall we honestly can say we all loved this place and the people were absolutely the icing on the cake. I do hope to come back and visit. Would definitely recommend this to all friends and family back home. Thank you Paolyn ❤️❤️❤️

We had spent 4 nights here and this eco-friendly houseboats are ONE IN A MILLION!
From my making my booking to communications on payment, arrival and departure, activities offered and many more, it were super seamless and friendly!
We were met at Busuanga airport and then to a boat transfer to their main boathouse were done within an hour 😅
We were checked-in and briefed on safety and then to our dream boathouse by boat.
It was naturally built usong bamboo and floating in a huge lagoon with crystal blue water. Time stood still and we had a relaxing stay with 2 boat tours to the most colourful coral reefs and marine lifes and not forgetting, pristine beaches.
The service and food here is top notch, always in contact with a hp provided.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND this beautiful houseboat as their philosophy of giving back to the tribes is really commendable!
