Gardenia House Rent Rooms

Angelo, the host, is friendly and helpful. Very available on Whatsapp and that is a big help in such a remote location. The place has fast wifi and considering the remoteness, it is quite comfortable. The room is frequently made up with new water, it felt safe.

It is important to know that this is not in the centre of town. This place is out the back, in a suburb. It's about a 15 min walk (including 5 mins down a highway) to the town centre. Plus side is that it's quiet.

The room is excellent

Very bad location. At night, we can’t even walk outside to go to the bars because there are a lot of dogs barking. We tried to find our way to go to the bars but we failed because the location is very dark and doga are scary. It’s not safe.

We had a lovely stay at Orchidia House. Angelo’s property is beautiful and well-kept and our room was spacious. Angelo is very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed (e.g. meeting us at the port, calling us tricycles, sharing ferry times). We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality, Angelo!

I had high expectations from the reviews here but indeed Orchidia house turned out to the perfect place to stay. The owner Angelo is super friendly and helpful whenever we had a little problem. I really liked that the rooms are very spacious, and the AC was nicely quiet. I also loved the little terrace (just as green and beautiful as on the pictures) with our own kitchenette nearby, and as a smoker, I was happy to be able to just go outside and have a cigarette. Angelo also supplied us with two free bottles of water per day which of course is greatly appreciated, and he organized a scooter at a good price so we could explore Bantayan Island at leisure, and at a great price too. We stayed here for two weeks and I was sad to leave, it felt like home.

Really can't think of anything. The only thing is that it wasn't as quiet as we had hoped, but that was probably because we stayed over Christmas and New Year.

We had an excellent stay at Orchidia! From the moment we arrived, Angelo contacted us so he can arrange a transportation from the port, making sure we arrive at the house safely. We came to the island with no planned itinerary, but Angelo went above and beyond by helping us decide which places were worth visiting. His recommendations were spot-on, and his hospitality made us feel like we were staying with family. The place itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was also convenient, allowing us to explore the beauty of Bantayan with ease. If you're looking for a place to stay on the island, I highly recommend Orchidia house.

Angelo was rude and unprofessional

Amazing rooms - big, clean and new. Owners were really nice and helpful throughout our stay. Quiet area but you’ll need a motorbike to get around.

It's really good. Clean and peaceful. Even the owner, Angelo, is helpful. He's one step ahead of our needs. We would definitely come back again. And don't get fooled with Google photos.

The property was clean and had everything you can think of. Water was provided daily. Angelo was always around to answer any questions.

It was a bit further from the main area and some trike drivers didn’t know where it was so we had to give directions. But it allowed us to have a more quiet night.
