Position and size

Position was very good size the room and balcony good , disappointed dirty walls from lizards poo door bath room dirty let’s say 60% ok

Stayed in January 2025

Road to get there full of mud and lakes (puddle the size of the road).

The staff do everything in their power to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The last 100meters to the villa is dirt road. Gets muddy when it rains.

First impression was a bit messy but, actually it is cozy.

I like rustic accommodations, so I chose the kubo hut. I couldn't get some things to work, like the shower water heater, and they later showed me the trick. There was also a leaky valve under the toilet, which I had to turn off after the water closet had been filled up so as not to waste water that spread through the floor. I couldn't get the stove to light until later they primed it. So, those are incidental. What I didn't like most was the old, worn, sub-standard cookware where the non-stick coating had already scraped off. At least they gave me a rice cooker with a healthy stainless steel pot. The dirt road leading to the property gets muddy easily, and you have to walk through it to get to the main road to hail a ride or rent a scooter. The beachfrontage wasn't good for swimming as it was rocky. What I didn't like about Panglao, even Alona Beach, is that the city has not regulated the growth of resorts such that public beach access is extremely limited.

The staff were very accommodating. They let me stay past checkout time as the earliest flight to Manila was late afternoon. They arranged for tours and asked me upon arrival how my tour went. My first morning, they weren't very attentive to my text messages, and I needed help with the kitchen. But they apologized and became very attentive afterward. The kubo hut was air-conditioned. Scooter rental is just around the corner, as well as a Sari-Sari Store where I got cheap groceries for my stay.

Location.

Lonely place in middle of local life, homestay.

Communication with staff by whatsapp was ok.

Stayed in November 2024

Local life around, noisy sometimes. Many dogs at beach and road. Ugly path to boat beach, not for swimming. You must ask for housekeeping, every toilet paper, new towels ... we stayed totally one week and nothing was made automatically - but it is habit in Philippines ! Not very clean. Garbage around. Our arrival was like surprice to the staff, although we had told the time. Some fixing in toilet after we got the room.

Studio 1 upstairs with big terrace was nice. Staff is nice doing its best, boss was away (has been long time). (Houses are rented 5/2024, the real owner of the houses is not any more in this business. ) Laundry service. Free drinkin water.

Stayed in November 2024

Without a scooter the location isn't close to much. About 20 min walk to alona restaurants.

It's good if you get a room upgrade. Big room. Couches, fridge. Lots of Windows and you are right at the water (not really a swimming beach though). Staff is great like every place in the Philippines. Wifi in the best room is good.

I would better organize the exterior to create an area where to sit and relax

I liked the position, as it was away from the chaos of Alona beach, but close enough to get there by walk (20 min) or in 5 minutes with a tuktuk. The staff has been lovely and always ready to help, she assisted me to organize all my tours, super recommended.

friendly staff

staff were nice and friendly and helpful the place though is very dated. Old furniture which should be replaced. Biting ants everywhere Air con very noisy I wouldn't call it beachfront. Access to a messy water front but got barked at by many dogs when I ventured out there!

Although it is a beachfront hotel, you can't use the beach for sunbathing/relaxing.

Staff was very nice, helpful and accommodating. Our room was surprisingly big, with possibility to prepare your meals. Shower worked well, including hot water.

The property is up for sale to be bulldozed and redeveloped, which gives you a good clue about its general condition. Whilst it is beside the ocean, it is not really a beach for walking or swimming, and is basically beyond walking distance from anywhere - so you would need to have a motorcycle or transport. Plenty of stray dogs around, if you are a dog lover.

Very friendly owner (Juana). Everything worked, including air-con, internet, and even a warm shower. Kitchenette and outdoor seating area.

The roof was leaking, but it was fixed later during our stay. The smell of mold was coming from that area. It was raining everyday almost, the terrace was not covered from rain so we were sitting in the room, which was a little dark. At night there were a lot of dogs screaming, as they were killing each other.

The staff was very nice, we got a welcome beer - a big one, and it was great to have that after the long journey :) They also offer renting a motorbike, which we got for a good price.

Far away from the center, really need to rent a scooter to get around. Super pricey for the type of room

The studio has a nice view and is quite spacey.
