‎TO IMPROVE: ‎- AC needs to be checked, when we get there the room prepared for us was really hot since there's a problem with the AC. we booked the room with AC, so I'm expecting it. Also, the water suddenly stopped working in the middle of the night. There was a problem with their pipe. I've informed them about it and they really tried to give us a comfier stay by transferring us to another room. I took a shower outside which is a bit funny but we're the only ones there so no biggie. ‎- A suggestion: change the main room light to white from yellow. It's just me but I love to read and yellow light is really uncomfortable so. ‎ ‎WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: ‎(If you want to book the place.) ‎-The place has a beach front, but it's also literally beside the main street s it's normal that you can hear noises from vehicles. But it's not to the point that you will get disturbed bu them. ‎-The electric stove runs quite slow, it takes time to really heat up so I suggest use the grill, and the pan for it. Their caretaker will assist you. ‎- If you're not into cooking, expect to travel a bit via tricycle to go to the nearest restaurant. ‎- The place is not a convenient store, so if you wanna cook or have some snacks or sodas or whatever, buy them beforehand and you'll be fine. ‎- Water supply is really a problem in the South. The same thing is true with some parts in the city, so expect some low water pressure. ‎- They do have dishwashing soap and handsoap. You gotta bring your own personal body soap and shampoo. Towels are clean and provided though. ‎- Ask if you're staying in the basement room, expect a bit of a musty smell, but that's normal since you are staying in a place near the beach. ‎- Also, you might run into ants or few insects, but I find these normal as well having stayed in some establishments near beaches.

I stayed at House Rapunzel with my mom and brother. Little bit of a hiccup with regards to the shower and AC, but everything else is all good considering the price that we've paid. Honestly, if not for the AC problem, everything is 10/10, looking again at the price we've paid. ‎ ‎ I've read the reviews about this place and honestly, you are just getting what you will pay for in this establishment. Read the info about the hotel and manage your expectations since you are not booking for a luxurious establishment. ‎ ‎Here's a run down to what I love, what I feel needs to be improved, and what you should know if you are thinking of booking House Rapunzel. ‎ ‎LOVE: ‎- helpful staff and owner, if you need anything ask them and they're willing to help you ‎- beachfront! refreshing view and clean beach ‎- complete cooking amenities, whether you want to make yourself a BBQ, cook rice, or fry something, you can do it here (ask for assistance if you need help) ‎- strong internet connection (I didn't expect this, but yes their internet connection is really strong) ‎- the place is generally clean and well-maintained (I'm a bit of a neat freak so I'm taking note of this) ‎- beach front view replete of flowers, coconut trees, and hut ‎- you can buy freshly-caught fish in the morning, ask the caretaker where and she'll assist you ‎

The temperature of the shower was a little difficult to manage.

Yancy was amazing and took really good care of us. We were well looked after throughout our stay and were even invited to join in a family celebration where we had the opportunity to try the local cuisine.

The place is quiet if you want solitude. It's my second time as solo traveller and so far it's safe. Their current caretaker, Yansey, was very accomodating and hard working.

I was the only guest that time, feels like u rented out the whole place, very quite, the ocean view is superb. Very relaxing. The staff, rodel is very accommodating, I slept for 2 nights outside in the nipa hut which was one of the best experience when u wake up by the sunrise....

Leaving

Nice and quite away from the bustle of the town, yet near enough to get into. Oslob has a great outdoors locals market. And a modern mall n 7/11. Bought fresh fish veg n herbs. Then BBQ’d them at Rapunzels. Everyone at the House were lovely and helpful. Seating areas overlooking the sea. Bedroom, Shared Kitchen area and BBQ all well equipped and clean. Loved it. Local transportation in abundance if you’re on foot :)

Amazing place! Stunning view on a seashore. excellent spot to spent the night before the whale shark watching. Ask for John John , he was the best guide we ever met. He helped us on each step with whale watching. Very tactful and considerate. Without John John we would got only half of experience.

Sir Rodel was warm and welcoming. He even offered free buko when I arrived. Though, it's not my time to check in but they allowed me to use the facilities. He even contacted Kuya Jun to assist me in my whale watching. You can cook for free. The thing is, it's a peaceful place to relax. Love the place!

It felt like our second home. Chill vibes and nice view of the ocean.

Staff are very friendly and accomodating. Service is excellent. Peaceful and quiet place. Clean rooms and outside area, too.

Stayed in October 2022

Owner was very rude and condescending. Would not return, would never recommend. Bathroom was confusing, the sink and the toilet and the shower room were all separate, in different rooms. Shower room by room 3 had no working light bulb, Room 3 the biggest room had no aircon, but it had the only toilet bowl that would flush. It was a stressful short stay.

Staff was ready to help, very accommodating. Owner was rude to the staff I feel bad for them. By the sea was nice, thats it

Stayed in August 2024

Everything else. The hotel needs major renovation.

Rodel was very courteous and polite.

I send message to the property with regards to feedback of the room that has no AC and no toilet and even doesnt know where to take shower. But her response is too rude for our enquiries, She should not be handling the responses to the customer if you cannot take feedback from customer in order for the property to improve, She shuld have taken it as a constructive one to improve their services.

I like the place as this was just near the beach and on the road, there is parking and the staff or the caretaker is good. While he is kind to the guest.
