Prim Travellers Inn

Walk (after 2 1/2 days on ferry, high waves on day 3) along the winding one road along coastline through town. There are tuktuks and tricycles. Google maps says 10 mins. Took me almost 2 hours but I stopped along the way to get my wayward eyebrows done. Almost the last hotel.. Q11 van to Bushuanga in the morning. Staff was very helpful and sweet. Uused their phone to call my next hotel and tricycle to bus sta. Very clean and comfortable. Looked like 8 rooms at guest house, guests in about half of them.. Breakfast room or tables outside. Coffee.

All good.

Place was clean and well-maintained. Room was spacious enough for us and beds and pillows were comfy. Aircon and hot shower functioned well. Tours offered via the hotel were good enough. The breakfast included was okay. Just note that all breakfast options are silog. Staff were kind enough to lend us plates for the food we brought. Wi-Fi was good and strong. Did not experience disconnections while we were there.

The place provided an ala carte menu and also had drinks and sandwiches menu items displayed at their bar area. But NONE of these were available according to the staff. So don't expect to order any additional food from them. Also, coffee prices kept changing. One day it was 35php, the next it was 100. so really not sure what's going on. Note that this coffee is just instant coffee.

Excellent service, very friendly staff and clean amenities

Occasionally the water didn't run but the helpful staff fixed the issue quickly

Good location and nice outdoor area.

the shower pressure was very poor.

I really appreciated how lovely the rooms and common spaces were; even the dorms look cute and lots of care to details is put in the decoration, it gives a very cozy vibe to the guest house! Prim looks better than some proper hotel I've stayed in in cities ! The daily house cleaning is very enjoyable, and I think quite rare for a dorm-type accommodation! The staff is lovely, helpful and accommodating. Breakfast included is quite alright! It's slighting outside of the city center, so it's very quiet and relaxing. On the downside, there was issues with water availability (which might not be the guesthouse's fault) and many times there was no running water in the shower and sink. Again I am not 100% if that were general shortage of the property's own issues. The most annoying for me was that the toilet was broken and we couldn't flush. A bucket was there to solve the issue, but many guest were not using it, OR water was off. This could be improved. Overall, compared to other similar hostel/guesthouse, I really enjoyed Prim and would stay there again; if the water issue was fixed, the place would be flawless!

It feels like home, the staff are friendly and courteous. The manager, Mr. Ben is very accomodating and helpful. A home away from home.

I tried to amend my booking 5 days before due to delays in the ferry from El nido to Coron but trying to communicate with Prim was difficult. When arriving proved more difficulties checking in as the workers didnt speak english. Then onto the accomodation. The room didnt look bad at all it was nice and clean and had AC. Until i noticed the bed is literally two tiny planks of wood that don't even cover the whole of the bed then with a tiny matress to cover. Im a soldier and slept in some rough places but thats the worst bed of all. After asking for a queen and getting 2 single planks of wood i wasnt happy. No lid on the toilet bin which you have to disperse after pooing and nobody changed the bin for the days we were there, pretty disgusting.
