    Charity and Chris were extremely welcoming and helpful - it was a pleasure to meet them. Everything was as advertised, good location and clean rooms. Also we were very happy to stay in a Phillipino family owned and run establishment.

    The host is very kind and helpful. Our house had two rooms only,so we shared the bathroom and kitchen with only one neighbor at some point and later on had it all to ourselves. Everything was clean and cosy. The wifi worked well .

    We had a great stay at Charity Pension House. The room is small but very clean and there is a kitchen to use for everyone. The breakfast is also very nice and a super fair price. Charity is so friendly and her dogs and cats are super cute. She also helped us with booking our transport to Puerto Princesa and was overall just lovely.

    The room was very clean, but had a musty and damp smell.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful, making our stay easier by assisting us with booking a boat tour, renting a scooter, and arranging transport to the airport. They also offered a delicious breakfast at a great price. We highly recommend this place!

    Top quite location within easy walk to the beach and town. Island hopping tours organised on site by the lovely couple running the place with free breakfast and free pickup for tours. (Banana pancakes!) Really enjoyed my stay there. Kitchen facilities and washing facilities available, and even though shared bathroom it was only with one other guest. Shop one site wither supercold water and bear.

    We loved our stay here. The hosts couldn’t have done more for us, so friendly and helpful. The shop has everything you need and they are always on site if you have questions. We rented a bike from them and had breakfast there too and were really happy with their service. The room is nice with the shared kitchen and toilet. The location is good and the price is affordable!

    Both the host and the pets are the best. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, Charity is the perfect place for you. We stayed in a room that included queen bed, kitchen and an attached bathroom. The kitchen was outside , but well-equipped with everything needed to prepare a basic meal, making it very convenient as we already tired of eating out . Location was good, near the center and beach , but in a quiet area. The room was exceptionally clean, with fresh-smelling linen that was changed every other day . The hosts were amazing , very friendly, and kind. It was a pleasant and welcoming experience. Charity makes home made bread and serve food on her convenience store in the property. A+

    Charity and her husband are just amazing, so nice people ! Always trying to make the best of our stay and they did 😁 the house is very nice with a big living room and kitchen, the garden is very beautiful full of flowers and plants everywhere. The location is perfect, close to everything and quiet. Possibility to rent motorbikes and the owners also have a shop. Near by restaurants and beach.

    - amazing hosts that will go above and beyond to help you with whatever you require. - excellent kitchen and fans in every room. - starlink wifi! (Disregard old reviews about bad wifi). - the owners have a store next to the pension. - just off the main road, so not much traffic.

    I stayed there for 6 nights just to relax and it was really great. The rooms (had two different ones because I extended) and also the outside area is comfy, welcoming and clean. The staff is amazing and so friendly. During my stay they got a new WiFi which was the best I experienced in the whole Philippines. Perfect for working on the computer.

    There was not always running water, however this is apparently a common thing in port Barton. To tackle this issue they do provide large buckets of water and u can buy bottled water at the reception as well.

    For the price everything was very clean, they sell tours as well at a good price, and they offer laundry service as well! + the hosts were just amazing, both of them were so incredibly kind!

    Everything about this accommodation was fantastic. The location is good, short walk from the bus station, beach, shops and restaurants. The room was large with a big window and fly screens over the window and door. We were upgraded to a room with private bathroom which was really nice. The unit also has its own little outdoor kitchen area with sink and gas hob. The rooms are set in a mature garden so you get a lot of shade, and there are outdoor seating areas. The whole place is kept clean and tidy, and the owners are lovely, really friendly and helpful. They have a shop on site and also do breakfasts if you don't fancy cooking yourself. The WiFi was OK. We stayed 5 nights and wanted to extend, unfortunately they were fully booked. I would definitely stay here again.

    Everything was just lovely.

    We loved to stay here! Location was perfect and hosts were sincere and hospitable. We were prepared for too warm and humid night because we knew that there is no AC. Pleasent suprise was that the fan in the ceiling was so efficient that we slept perfectly fine. We will delfinitely come back to this accommodation, if we ever come back to Port Barton.
