Fantastic little place, superbly located

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 20, 2019via mobile
We loved our 6 night stay here.
Great location in the town centre and a very reasonable price all things considered. Very clean, modern and with very helpful staff.
Also near the port so you are the last collection on the transport for the boat trips so you avoid driving around from hotel to hotel collecting others = Bonus.

Stayed for 4 nights. Check in was smooth as well as the check out. Staff were polite and friendly.

Suprisingly, roadside rooms are not that noisy or am I just too tired from tours :)

My transfers were properly arranged and it is very convenient. There were issues with the A/c in my room as it gets off and on but being fixed right away.

Breakfast is simple silog meals and they will ask you the night before for your chosen food. Wifi is good at the lobby but not in the room. Note that Data for both Smart and Globe is also not stable.

Overall it was a great stay and will recommend to others.

Loved the location, because we can go around the city anytime.
There were some stores and good restaurants nearby.
The staff are very friendly, and they helped us book the tours (with we got some discounts). :)
Breakfast is ok.
We got a room on the rooftop which was ok.

We enjoyed our stay in this lodge. Approachable and friendly staff, good ambiance, free breakfast, walking distance from anywhere in town and good wifi connection.

Sadly, the room has no dim light and no shower curtain. I hope they will improve this

I arrived just a little early for check-in. Staff informed me that my room was ready, but their policy was I could not check in until 2pm. Most places would let someone in early, especially if the room was ready. When asked, staff told me that there was no WiFi. I asked for how long and she responded four days (my entire stay). I asked “why” and she responded it wasn’t just the hotel, it was the entire Coron Town and they had no control. However, I was able to access WiFi at nearby businesses. I asked if she could tell me if there was any business with WiFi and she claimed she didn’t know. I went to a restaurant close by whose WiFi worked perfectly and they were unaware of any “city” problems. WiFi did not work the entire stay, even though they advertise WiFi as an amenity. The reception desk person was unclear and confused by any questions I presented to her. Unfriendly staff for entire stay - no smiles at all. Breakfast was really bad every day: for example, I received a watery omelette with canned mushroom and veggies. Terrible coffee. As instructed by the hotel, I went to the front desk to pay by credit card the day before checkout. I asked the balance and they gave me the wrong amount. They said I could pay by credit card the next day. I asked whether they were sure because I didn’t have enough cash and I’d like to pay by credit card. Next day my balance suddenly jumped up substantially and staff wouldn’t let me pay by credit card. I also wanted to confirm airport van scheduled for 9:30 next morning. They told me 8:30. I asked if they were sure, and someone else told me 9:30. Another woman came out and said between 8:30 and 9:00. Now I have to sit there all morning to make sure I have right time. Staff continued to be miserable. One morning, staff member pounds on my door telling me I’m late for breakfast. It’s 7:10 and I scheduled for 7:30. They get everything wrong and do it all with a scowl on their faces. And, they’re pricey. Room was comfortable, but they didn’t clean for entire stay.

Just got back from my Coron Palawan trip and this place is worth the price especially if you're a solo traveler.

I stayed here for 4d3n and here's my personal review on Balaibinda.

Room (2 out of 5 - because of the bloodstain on the bed sheet in room 207)
I booked for a solo room thru Hotels.com last April. It cost me P3300 for 4d3n. The room and CR is also clean and smells nice but upon my arrival in Balaibinda at 3pm (check-in is 2pm), I still waited for 25min because the aircon was being replaced according to the receptionist. It was a bit inconvenient because they should have done it earlier considering the check-in time. Another thing is that when I was about to check-out, I looked under the bed comforter and to my surprise, there was bloodstain on the bedsheet which I didn't see earlier as it was covered (please do something about it, it's the worst thing a visitor could experience). Nevertheless, the room was cozy and comfortable if not for the hidden bloodstain.

Food (3 out of 5)
They only serve breakfast and it's plated. Serving was quite small. If you're a big breakfast type of person, you will look for food somewhere else after finishing your breakfast here. They serve the typical Filipino "Silog" food with one banana and unli brewed coffee (what got me satisfied was the unli coffee). They will also get your order for the next day btw.

Staff (4.5 out of 5)
Their staff is friendly in general. They will greet you whenever you pass by and will quickly act on your request.

Price (4 out of 5)
If not for the bloodstain which I still cringe about up to now, your stay here is definitely worth the price. You get what you pay for. Highlight of Balaibinda is that it's situated at the center of Coron Town Proper. It's a bit noisy outside the room facing the road but tolerable for me.

*To Balaibinda's management, please do something about the bloodstain. It will really affect your visitor's check-in experience.
