A great, basic accommodation near Alona beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. WiFi was fast and worked well. There is a free tricycle service to the main strip between 6pm and 10pm each evening, but to be honest we just walked most of the time (about 15 mins). The pathways are well lit and not dangerous. There is a small convenience store across the street from the hotel. For what you pay for the rooms, this place is fantastic.

Clean rooms, nice walk to the beach, lovely staff. We hired a motorbike to explore Bohol which was amazing. The rooms were nice and clean. Very reasonably priced. Another good trip was to see the whale sharks. All round an amazing stay.
We stayed here last March 4-8 and upon arriving from the Panglao International Airport, the staff immediately attended to our requests. Its location is a bit out of way and the street isn't paved yet. One thing I noticed in this area, in general, is that the price of meals was steep. (Minimum P200+) Good thing we found an eatery beside a restaurant named as "Jasz Minimart" in Google Maps (but they have a different name now). They sell a wide variety of viands and in the evening they grill meats like isaw, BBQ, liempo, atay, etc.
For other cheap eats, explore what the nearby Alona Beach Road has to offer.
Our room was located on the ground floor, facing the wall with a makeshift mini garden. It was quiet except for the occasional passing tricycles and motorcycles from nearby inns. The room and bed were spacious and adorned with wooden accessories. I just don't think wooden floors work well when used in bathrooms. And the heavy footsteps of occupants in the room above us slightly bothered us because we can hear every creek and scuffle. But as the days passed by, we didn't really mind as much since we were too tired to notice haha! Towels and bedsheets will be changed upon request only so keep this in mind and ask for new towels before you go out. A nice bamboo daybed is located in front of every room and adds a chill vibe to the place. There's no bidet in the bathroom, but you do have a heated shower and they make it a point to give you a new tissue roll every day.
We booked the room via Agoda for Php 6000, good for 5 days.
You can also rent motorcycles here. We rented a Yamaha Mio @ Php 500 and Honda Click @ Php 650.
I definitely recommend this place because even though it's not perfect, you'd definitely feel like you're on vacation without spending a ton on your accommodation.
Well the room of our bungalow was ok.
It was large with a comfortable bed...But now i understand why they haven‘t published any pics of the bathroom - for these price we can really ask something more.!!
Generally the philippines are too overpriced for sleeping areas - in Thailand or Malaysia we slept for that money more than 3-4 days ..
Loved the dogs there :-) staff very friendly and give good suggestions!
Dear Guests,
Well you paid 1,600 php for a private aircon bungalow with private bathroom.
Trust us it is a very good price for panglao. For sure one of the best value for money.
Yes if you compare to thailand or malaysia, prices generally in the Philiipines are a bit higher, but simply because pur costs are higher also.
The staff is paid way much than other countries. There is labor and environmental control, very strict also.
So, after it is also your duty to check all those facts before you travel.
Therefore we find this comment quite abusive, as it is actually VERY GOOD FOR THE PRICE.
You should have compared with other accomodations around instead of comparing with other countries, this is too easy. Everything can be better elsewhere.
For the bathroom, it has just bit repainted, tiles changed etc......
Sorry we couldn't do it before your stay. We apologise for that.
Best Regards
The staff is very kind, they gave us a special price for a nice bungalow. This hostel is situated for 5min walking to alona beach. In fact, it's close to the beach and less crowded than resort on the beach. The price is affordable (1'300 - 1'800 peso). In addition, our room disposed a nice balcony. This hostel also offer some tours, like the bohol tour (2'200 peso) and i can also rent a motorbike.
I have been travelling for a few weeks Through Philippines now and I was so happy when I got to chill out guesthouse. A lovely iced tea welcome drink and super fast wifi!
Ster travelling around on remote islands with really slow wifi was great to finally upload some photos to friends and family.
The staff are amazing and attentive, breakfast is served fast so you can get on with your day!
Hired a scooter and hey gave me a brand new one was brilliant!
Best thing is they give you free tricycle ride to and from town! It’s only a 10min Walk but it’s nice that it’s free!
Do your self a favour and stay here
