Lhoy en Jean are so friendly, they go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. The food is amazing, only 200pesos for diner per person and they will fill the whole table! They make sure it's allergy friendly. The rooms are basic and all you need, because you will be busy exploring the area. He gives great recommondations!

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was a great time! Lhoy and Jean are super helpful and nice. They are always ready to give good advice and they will also rent a motorcycle to you which is the best way to move around Bohol. The dinners that Jean makes are so delicious and for the price, it doesn't get any better. The huts are comfortable although a little small so not the best if you have a ton of luggage. The bathroom is shared with all people staying at the hostel but we never had to wait and Jean keeps everything super clean. The location is great, very much countryside. You will hear animals but it really is to be expected given where you are, just pack earplugs for the Philippines in general. You are very close to many of the main attractions on the island.

Lhoy and Jean are the Kindest, most welcoming people you will ever meet. They made us feel at home from the start and walked us through all of the things we could do in the surrounding area. Every night they cooked us dinner for a very reasonable price, the food was delicious!! Thank you again for having us, if we are ever in the area again we will come back. Thank you!!!!!!

Everything! Lhoy and Jean are the best! The tips for the activities are wonderful, the place is very cozy and home-like, and the home-cooked dinners are delicious! We extended our stay, and we would've loved to stay longer. Our tip, book a few days there, you won't regret it! Thank you once again Lhoy and Jean!

Lhoy and Jean are the best hosts ever, they are welcoming, relaxed and ready to help with any question you have! This hostel is just a slice of peace in heaven. The amenities and accommodation is basic but clean and comfortable. The win in this place is the atmosphere - you feel like part of the family and get taken care of as such. Jean cooks a lovely dinner and breakfast at a small add cost. I had to work most afternoons / evenings and it was perfectly possible with stable enough wifi.

It is a bit basic but for the price it is great! You share the jungle with roosters like many places in the Philippines.

Perfect place to explore Bohol. There is a lot to see. You can rent a motorbike and they have great advice on where to go. The pickup with the tuk tuk they offer is also very convenient. The food they make is tasty. The bungalow and bathroom are clean. The people are very nice and because of them we had a great time in Bohol

The only advice i would give to other people is that you should bring mosquito spray with you ;)

Jean and Lhoy were soo kind and helpful. They recommended us different spots to explore and the location was perfect to get to ther. The breakfast and dinner were awesome, especially for vegetarians, it felt like family. You could also rent a scooter at the hostel and they offer transportation to the hostel. I would definitely go there again!

I had a really great time here, so much that I decided to extend! The guesthouse itself is very clean, the bungalows are lovely, immersed in the lush greenery of Lhoy and Jean's garden. The common area is also great, and the facilities are very good. There's free water and coffee and plenty of space to relax and socialise with other travellers, especially during shared meals in the morning and at night. The absolute highlight are Lhoy and Jean themselves - some of the kindest, most helpful and accommodating people I have met, and who make the place really special. They cooked us delicious dinner and breakfast every day and were always there to answer any question and offer help. Above all they have a very welcoming, friendly and bubbly energy which make you feel right at home. The guesthouse is also situated in a very convenient area to explore all Bohol has to offer. One of my best stays in the Philippines so far!

I had to leave.

When people told me about this place, i kind of thought they were exaggerating a bit, but i was wrong! It is just perfect, the upstairs "hostel" room and the nipa huts are both amazing, the food is exceptional, and you dont have to run around organizing stuff, renting a bike, getting a taxi to the bus station, because the lovely family is happy to help you with everything with the local fees! My favourite moment is when i waited for the tuktuk for the bus station, their lovely boy sat down with me besides the road and we waited for it together. Such a lovely place and family, i already miss it!

Cozy social place with the 2 owners that take good care of their guests! They serve very good food every morning and evening and the accomodation is on a very central place to discover the island!

I didn’t have a scooter and the town is a bit of a walk.

- Lhoy and Jean are amazing. They have such a sweet family and it was wonderful to stay with them. - Family dinners every day for only 200p. Fantastic food and a nice way to meet the other travelers. - The garden is beautiful!!! - Everyone I talked to absolutely loved the place.

This was the nicest, warmest and most extraordinary accommodation in our four weeks in the Philippines. We stayed there for three nights with our daughters. It was so great. Lhoy and Jean are so warm and make you feel so welcome, the beautiful ambience, the homemade breakfast and dinner, the location ... it's just perfect! We wish you and your family all the best and much success with your homestay and above all only relaxed guests who can appreciate your home and work. Thank you so much for the wonderful days!

Home Sweet <3 Home. Simple Living with Absolutely Amazing Jean & Lhoy. Good wifi and cold showers! :) Beautiful garden. Miss back already!

Stayed in February 2025

Conditions were a little rustic, but it was fine. Just don't expect a luxury hotel experience. They only have cold showers, but it was usually quite hot outside anyway. Cabins were a little small, especially once the mosquito net is set up. The area roosters were quite loud some nights, and there is nowhere nearby that sells ear plugs, so bring your own for sleeping. Lhoy and Jean ordered some earplugs online for the guests to use for free because they're such good hosts :)

I had a fantastic experience at LhoyJean Garden Hostel. The owners, Lhoy and Jean, are amazing and made sure I always had everything I needed. They really went out of their way to take good care of me. The food, especially, is amazing. Jean cooks breakfast and supper for all the guests every day, and it was always delicious and plentiful (and well-priced). The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need to cook if you want to make something yourself. The location is a 20 minute drive from the chocolate hills and a good waterfall, and within a day trip of just about every attraction on the island. At no extra charge, Lhoy will help you plan your excursions to do everything you might want to do. The accommodations themselves were kept clean and comfortable, and it's a very pleasant space with lots of greenery. Wifi was strong and reliable after they installed a repeater beside the common area.

The cockerels are loud but some felt it added to the ambiance.

Very authentic, natural habitat, surrounded by rice fields and a quaint local village. Jean and Llhoy are great hosts. They provide breakfast and dinner.

We had an AMAZING stay at this hostel! The staff was so kind, very cute family and adorable son. There is a big common space to socialize with other guests and you can have breakfast and dinner there for quite cheap! The dinners were delicious and the perfect opportunity to have a good talk with the guests. The hut we stayed in was comfortable and clean when we arrived. We are very pleased with our stay at Lhoyjean Garden Hostel and would recommend to anyone.

Stayed in January 2025

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at! The owners are the most lovely people who went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations! We only stayed for 1 night unfortunately cause we were only passing through Bohol but Lhoy gave us such good recommendations, planned a whole day itinerary for us so we could see the highlights in the short time we had. The breakfast and dinner that Jean freshly cooks every day was some of the best food I've had in the whole Philippines!!! The shared dinner at the hostel creates a very warm athmosphere that makes it easy to socialise with others!
