    No easy access to beach, need to make whole tour back to main road and then further to next street going to beach. Going back we took trike (100php). Faucet and Shower head needs replacement.

    Big family room with 2 double beds and sofa, spacious terrace, small swimming pool.

    The noise from the street was quite loud, especially from the scooters passing by at night. The alley to the hotel is quite dark.

    The room had everything we needed - even a kitchen.. Staff is friendly. Location is great - walking distance to all restaurants and shops. Our room was cleaned in between.

    The alley, in which the place is situated is not lit, therefore a bit uncomfortable walking in the dark, though I must emphasize that I never felt personal security problems. As in all Philippines, be prepared to be awaken by dog's and roosters, but somehow, I take it as a given

    Friendly host, nice and clean room and shower. Good AC. Simple, but I felt that I got good value for money. Ten minutes comfortable walk to Alona beach

    The fridge didn't work at all, so drinking cold water after a while was not possible. I just noticed my last day when getting the luggage ready, there is no electricity some hours in the mornings. Coming back in the night, better have battery in the mobile to use the torch, no lights in the street.

    The room is a basic one with a small kitchen, convenient if you want to prepare own meals. The staff is very friendly and helpful. In 2 min you are in a street plenty of food options

    Our room was bottom back of the property and had a very strong mouldy smell - think just due to its location

    Central with a great coffee breakfast spot and great dinner restaurant (Garlic amd lemon) just up the road; close to everything but very quiet and peaceful. Pool was great and loved we had our own little porch with table and hammock

    It wasn’t always easy to find someone if you needed something, maybe a bell on reception might help. The road, as others have mentioned is rocky and dark at night but felt relatively safe.

    Large room with a balcony and kitchen area for the option to cook. The room was clean, staff were friendly and the location was good in close proximity to the beach and restaurants.

    Nice comfortable little guesthouse in a great location within walking distance of Alona Beach
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Queen Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The beginning of the approach road to the guesthouse (the first 50 meters or so) is a mess. Across the street from the guesthouse is some low income housing. This is not really a problem but is visually a bit of a shock when you see it for the first time. The pool is somewhat smaller than it looks in the photos. This is a family compound where they have built a few rooms to rent out, not really a hotel, so having the right expectations is important. Not fancy but everything works.

    The room is spacious and well equipped. Having a kitchenette was very nice. While I did not cook, having plates and cutlery available allowed me to have breakfast in my room. The guesthouse is run by three sisters (the eldest is the owner) who do a great job of keeping the place spic and span. They are also friendly and very helpful. They helped organize an island tour for me. They live on the premises so they are always available. The aircon works well and is fairly quiet for a window airconditioner. Great location about a ten minute walk to the beach and a five minute walk to some nice cafes and restaurants.

    Maybe if there were a few toiletries in the toilet would have been nice

    The place is nice and really quiet, the garden is a good place where to relax. The room was big, clean and the toilet pretty decent
