- Denise (1/5): - Die Unterkunft war überbucht. Die Besitzerin macht dies wohl häufiger und bringt die Gäste dann in noch billigere Unterkünfte unter. Von der Laufkundschaft wird dann mehr Geld verlangt. Die guten Bewertungen sind scheinbar gefakt. Wir waren nur kurz in der Unterkunft und waren letztendlich froh, über booking umgebucht zu werden. Die Fotos entsprechen nicht den Bildern vor Ort

- Westeringh (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Bucana Beach House. We stayed in the house with our family of 5. Staff is very hospitable, and willing to answer any questions you may have. Food was amazing! I suggest this property, for a quiet beachfront location!
- Neil (2/5): Highly unprofessional, greedy, dishonest, unorganised & unacceptable - Highly disappointed, arrived & having booked around 3 month prior, already paid by credit card & having messaged my arrival time the day before, they didn’t expect me & had no room for me, had given my room to a walk in. I’d had a long flight & transit & they sat me there, for a hr, while they rang around looking for accommodation elsewhere for me for the night. They found sub standard accommodation nearby & told me I could rtn to them the following night. Nxt night they said the pregnant lady in my room needed to stay there longer & could I stay remaining nights in the place I’d moved too. I said I had no choice & would. However nxt night, 3rd night, they came to ask me to move into their place, obviously they now had a vacancy & wanted to fill a now empty room.
Etc etc etc, total disaster, they’re money hungry, unprofessional, unhelpful, disorganised, & dishonest. They put me in accommodation that was cheaper than theirs for 2 nights yet didn’t offer a refund until I asked for one & they only gave a small amount & cheated the other place I moved to. Don’t stay here! They’re useless & service is hopelessly inefficient. Highly unprofessional & the stress was unneeded on my holiday especially since I’d paid, booked early & communicated arrival time etc!

- Pernille (8/5): Godt og afslappende ophold tæt på strand og ro - Tæt på strand og tæt på lokalbefolkningen
Rare personale og ok mad Det lå lidt langt ude så man kunne ikke gå til en by. Men det var også charmen ved stedet
- Kristen (10/5): I had the best time here. The staff were so lovely and the location is unbeatable. - This place was an absolute gem, the owner was so lovely and the location is unbeatable If you take a scooter beware of the road getting there, it’s unpaved and can be tricky if you don’t have allot of experience on a motorbike
- Sil (8/5): -
- jesus (9/5): Muy recomendable - Precioso lugar para quedarse Un poco mal accesible
- Erwan Yvonig (2/5): Maison VUE SUR MUR, pas vue sur mer!!! - La plage de Bucana est belle, calme, loin du flot des touristes d’El Nido. Le très aimable et souriant garçon qui s’occupait de tout. Le seul dans cet établissement… Un Beach house qui ne ressemble pas aux photos ni aux évaluations sur booking.com. Établissement qui semble à l’abandon contrairement aux autres sur la plage. On nous a dit que c’était à cause du typhon, mais il n’y a pas que cela. Aucun effort par rapport aux établissements d’à côté. Le pire étant la porte de la maison qui ouvre sur un mur en parpaing. Des matelas à même le sol. Aucun nettoyage fait par l’établissement alors que nous restions 5jours et étions les seuls clients!!. Même pas un balai dans la maison pour enlever nous même le sable qui s’accumule. Restaurant sous bâche, inexistant. Petit déjeuner hyper basique. Accueil sommaire à l’arrivée et inexistant au départ. Personne pour le checkout ou aider avec les valises … Bref, très mauvais rapport qualité prix. Du coup, on a décidé de partir un jour plus tôt, malgré le fait que tout était payé, pour aller dans un autre établissement.
- KONSTANTIN (10/5): - Отель понравился, место идеально подходит для отдыха, чтобы насладиться тишиной и звуками природы! Спасибо большое управляющему менеджеру, парень, был очень гостеприимным и помог во всем вопросам. Рекомендую к посещению! Нужно отремонтировать дорогу к деревушке, тогда вообще будет супер
- Koray (10/5): I will visit again - Its location by the beach and the attitude of the staff are wonderful, and the breakfast is delicious.
- Fortaleza (10/5): This place offers not just comfort and convenience, but also warm, thoughtful service that makes your stay truly special - Every time I step out of my room, I’m instantly greeted by a breathtaking view of the sea, with the soothing sound of the waves setting the perfect mood. The staff are incredibly hands-on and genuinely caring—they check in on you from time to time and are always attentive to your needs. What truly stands out is their dedication: even if an item or request isn’t available, they always find a way. The rooms and bathroom is sparkling clean. I love that it’s quiet and peaceful. L None
- Glenn (10/5): It was great if you prefer some private experience. - I love the private beach feel. Not crowded yet there are establishments to go to for food and stores. I was not a fan of the road to get to the property. It was rough terrain.
- Katie (3/5): -
- Gerhard (6/5): -
- Madeleine (4/5): Disappointing -
- Lucie (10/5): FANTASTIC STAY !!! - Super friendly staff !! The owner, the driver, the staff, everyone was so nice to us. They helped us with my sim card, book the island tours and transportation to the city center. Special thanks to the driver. He was so sweet to us, brought us to a beach, took pics of us, and explained so many things about the Philippines.
There are a few cutiepies (cats and dogs) staying in the place, so it's such a pleasure to see them !! In the morning, you hear the rooster too.
We were the only ones in this accommodation at first, so it was even better, I think. We were super lucky !
Our little hut is right at the beach. The room is simple, cozy, and clean. There are a bed, a little mirror, a hanger, a moskito neat, and a fan.
The breakfast and food are delicious : you can order tomato or nature omelet, or plain pancakes. Coffee and tee are also available unlimited.
The shower and bathroom are pretty clean. Water sometimes doesn't work, the staff responds quickly and makes it work so it's ok (and understable due to the accommodation's location).
It's a bit far from the city center (2500 pesos go&back 45 min) but it's so calm and beautiful. It's worth it!! El Nido city center is full of tourists, busy, noisy. We went there only for the island tours.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE !!
- Lukasz (10/5): Amazing Place for a Dream Vacation! 🌊☀️ - I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful place for 2.5 weeks, and I’m absolutely delighted!
The location is perfect—right on the beach, which I could enjoy at any time of day. The beach itself is long, wide, and clean, making walks or lazy sunbathing a real pleasure.
The surroundings are peaceful and quiet, allowing for complete relaxation with the soothing sound of waves in the background.
The property is spotlessly clean, and the bathrooms are tidied up daily—a huge plus! A lovely extra touch was the complimentary morning coffee, which was a perfect way to start each day. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful—always ready with advice and making sure I felt right at home. And the food was delicious.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable getaway, away from the crowds but with the sea at their doorstep and a fantastic atmosphere.
I’ll definitely be back! ❤️ 10/10 – an outstanding experience! 🌟 Nothing to say, everything was fine.
- Fantilanan (10/5): Exceptional - The experience was pleasant.We love the food and the ambiance
Overall it was very comfy and good place to visit with your friends and family.The surroundings are quiet and not crowded compared to the town.the staff always asking what you need
- Pamela (6/5): Pleasant - This is a peaceful place that is yet to be developed. The owners do their best to make your stay comfortable. Yes, there is glass on the beach, which should be noted. Getting there is expensive 😫 but worth the time and patience as the beach develops restaurants, pop-up rubber bands, and sticky tape are replaced by efficiency, and beach bums will find another peaceful place to snooze hugs Pam Long time waiting for food but not always
- Shanaiya (7/5): Good -
- Hallel (9/5): Superb -
- Nicole (8/5): Very good -
- Andrzej (10/5): Exceptional - Staff always very helpful, beautiful beach and views, every morning served tasty breakfast which you can eat with your seaview Nothing
- Eurika (10/5): Exceptional - If you want a calm stay in remote beach I strongly recommend this place! The stuff were very friendly and helpful. There is everything what you can need - they serve food, nearby there is a very good place for a massage ( definetely best massage in Philippines surounded by waves sound from the sea), and not crowded beach where you can chill and clear your mind😊
- Fortaleza (10/5): A perfect staycation for peace and serenity - I like the modern style of bathroom it’s sparkling clean which you can use comfortably anytime. The restaurant serves good and delicious food with an affordable price. We stayed just for a night yet the staff gave a luxurious service! Always smiling and approachable. They are attending to our needs every time. The room has an aesthetic vibe, and you can hear the sound of the waves like a lullaby, gently lulling you to sleep. It’s a perfect place whenever you need peace and serenity. I will definitely go back to this place next time with my friends. You should definitely come here!!!
- Jan (9/5): Superb -
- Mito (10/5): Amazing! The place is awesome, súper relaxing, literally at the beach, and the staff are the bests!! -
- Imogen (8/5): Beautiful stay - The fact the property is on the beach just felt like paradise! A bit far from el Nido town but we found it a fantastic location! The rooms are nice, clean, good bathroom facilities and staff were helpful. The staff were nice however felt a little sometimes that they were a bit too much in your business of what you were doing.
Ate here on our first night but the food was very overpriced for what we got.
There was dance type music played a lot of the time so not as peaceful as expected and got woken up very early by someone sweeping our doorstep a couple of mornings.
- Jakub (1/5): I would not recommend Bucana Beach House – the property does not match its description, and the conditions make for a ve - What we didn’t like about the property:
Our stay at Bucana Beach House was extremely disappointing and far from what was advertised. Here are the main issues we faced:
1. False Advertising: The property was not as described or shown in the listing. The second bedroom was an open attic with no privacy, and the mattresses were simply placed on the floor. The advertised kitchen had no stove, fridge, or toaster, making it impossible to prepare our own meals.
2. Substandard Conditions: There were holes in the walls, exposed electrical cables, and leaking plumbing in the bathroom. The toilet wasn’t connected to running water, so we had to fill it manually.
3. Air Conditioning Issues: The attic had no air conditioning on the first night, and when it was provided the next day, the room remained unbearably hot due to unsealed windows, a gap between the roof and walls, and broken glass above the doors. The air conditioning in the second bedroom was old, loud, and malfunctioned during our stay.
4. Hygiene Problems: Ants were coming into the bathroom through a hole in the shower area, and the overall cleanliness of the property was poor.
5. Accessibility Issues: We were not informed that the property had no car access. On the first night, we had to wade through water to cross a hanging bridge and walk on a muddy path to reach the location.
6. Extra Charges: The advertised free airport shuttle was not provided, and we were charged PHP 1,500 for the transfer.
7. Communication Problems: Some staff struggled with English, which led to issues such as incorrect meal orders. Additionally, the menu did not have prices, so we had no idea how much we would be charged for meals.
8. Disrupted Plans: Due to these conditions, two members of our group left early, causing significant disruption to our plans and added stress.
Overall, the property was in no condition to accommodate guests, and the experience was extremely disappointing. We expected far better based on the listing.
- Lienshyna (10/5): Exceptional - I like people: all personal, owner and manager, who every day give advices for this place and country at all. For help in organization from excursions to congrats my friend with birthday! They were every moments that we need . They are professional. We like how to cook there, we ate there every day, everything was very tasty. And of course, place - it's your own beach, almost own))) thank you for everything, I recommend this place!
