Love, love, love this place!

Stayed here for a night when we came from Bislig and another night after coming from Siargao. It was a lovely experience from the food and the accommodation. It didn't feel like a pension house. Our room during our second time even had a rain shower head. I loved the food especially the grilled tuna and the chocolate overload cake (it's one of the best I've had so far). My bf liked the lechon kawali. Food prices were a bit steep (comparable to Manila prices) but you get real quality. Even spent my birthday here. Location is good enough since it's near the bus/uv express terminal and about 15-20 mins by car to the airport (we travelled early in the AM). Staff are amazingly nice and courteous. My only complaint was the intermittent wifi in the rooms. Wifi in the diner was a lot more dependable. But over-all, we were satisfied customers. Will definitely stay here if in the area again.

Nice surprise

Expectation was down to minimum since we are only paying P900. I was impressed with their customer service. I filled up their form and submitted online a day before arrival, the next day someone called me - I thought they were going to ask for a deposit but they just wanted a confirmation. When we arrived, room was ready! The place is new, everything looked perfect. Bathroom was clean. Highly recommended!

Budgetel good for travellers

Got the small room which is good for four people but they allowed me to rent it for 500 pesos only. Stayed here for over night. They have a restaurant at the ground floor. The place is accessible and close to the bus terminal and the city proper.

Room tip: The rooms division is made of light materials thus making it not sound proof.

Never let me down.

I am back in the hotel again! It's always a pleasure to write reviews for this establishment. I won't make this review long as my flight is due in the next 4 hours. Everyone is pleasant, services are kept well, FOOD is always delightful and enjoyable-- ribs and burgers never let me down! To be quite honest, this is the reason I came back to Butuan-- take note pronounced as Boot-wun-- only for these!

I referred this accommodation and restaurant to a good friend when he planned to visit the islands of the Philippines in April of this year. He was very glad. He felt welcome, the warmth of Filipino culture, the happy and bright faces of the staff and the support and help they extended in his plans.

Always keep it up Wayfarer Pension House and RiBBS restaurant! Ill see you again with my partner next year!

Room tip: They renovated the second floor. I took the new room 205. It's fairly spacious for my liking.

Value for Money

We are originally from Mindanao and have been roadtripping for 2 weeks now with a our elder Mom (who has Dementia) needed to have a break from the road and decided to stop over Butuan before heading to our home town.
We have inquired quite a lot of hotels and Inn's around T. Calo St. up to T. Calo extention. Ended up to this hotel as this was the only one who meets our specification for our Mom.
The place is new, well lighted, staff is friendly and accomodating, very helpful they actually help you decided which rooms to take. Problem with the place rooms as so small its difficult to move around the rooms especially with the dormitel type room.
There is restaurant downstairs which serves good food.
Would recommend this to travellers who has a tight budget.
