Guest Reviews

• nir (9/5): Recommended - Very nice staff ,very clean, comfi bed They dont have generator and in the area no electricity for large periods ....
• Jeanne (7/5): - No electricity from 4am - 12N everyday.
• Odeline (10/5): - Nous avons passé un superbe séjour à Port Barton dans cet établissement. Le personnel est adorable et présent quand on a besoin. La chambre était très bien et la salle de bain commune également. Nous avons mangé tous nos petits déjeuners ici, c’était très bien et peu cher. Il y a aussi une cuisine extérieure pour faire à manger, et une épicerie avec tout le nécessaire.
• Jessica (9/5): Très bon emplacement, personnel réactif - Les propriétaires sont hyper gentils. La chambre est propre. Le voisin qui passait des coups de téléphone à 23h dans le haul, qui prenait sa douche à 2h du matin. Mais bon ça ce n’est pas la faute du propriétaire.
• Megan (8/5): - Great location, super helpful hosts. Clean room with toiletries and aircon. Recommend

Juste ventilo C’est simple sans chichi On a bien aimé
• isabel (9/5): -
• Tabby (9/5): - The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty! Comfortable bed, clean room and bathroom. The shower has hot water.
• Ing. Svatoslav Blažek (10/5): - We stayed here for 4 nights. The room and beds were clean, and the shower had hot water. We were provided with fresh towels, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, and even toothpaste. The air conditioning was quiet. During our entire stay, we were only slightly disturbed by karaoke once, but it wasn't a big deal and it ended by 11 PM. At the reception, you can refill 1 liter of water for 5 pesos, do your laundry, or arrange transport. The staff was amazing, smiling, and very helpful!

• Sebastian (10/5): Wonderful Place - I had a wonderful time in Port Barton, and one part of that was my stay at Charity Pensions House. The guesthouse is run by a lovely family who are very attentive to order and cleanliness. Since I spent a few extra days in Port Barton, I had the opportunity to book this accommodation a second time. I felt very comfortable there and I'm very grateful for this place to stay!
• Jannic (10/5): Super schön, etwas ruhiger gelegen, jederzeit wieder ! - Super familiär, nette Gastgeber. Es wird sich um Öles gekümmert - sehr komfortabel. Das philippinische Frühstück ist wirklich super ! Leider kein Kühlschrank
• Sophie (8/5): - Le personnel adorable et les pancakes banane!!!
• Morgan (10/5): -
• Morgan (10/5): - Gentillesse de Charity et du personnel, Chambres et espaces communs très propres, Épicerie sur le lieux d'hébergement, Proche centre ville et plage, Possibilité de louer un scooter et commander navette. Rien
• Patricia (10/5): Estancia inmejorable - Charity y su familia fueron súper amables con nosotras. Estuvimos allí una semana y todo funcionaba perfectamente. La cocina súper equipada y ellos súper atentos todo el día. Incluso nos cambiaron las sábanas y toallas a mitad de semana. El agua salía caliente (raro en Filipinas) y con buena presión. Los animales que tienen están muy cuidados y no tienen pulgas ni garrapatas, nos enamoramos de su gatita Tinny! Sin duda repetiremos nuestra estancia allí. Ya queremos volver!! Gracias Charity and family!!
• Gabrielle (10/5): -
• Rebecca (10/5): - We stayed in the bungalow with kitchen. It was a lovely big room and the outdoor kitchen was really useful. The location is great, just a very short walk to all the bars and restaurants but still quiet. Also the hosts were so kind.
• nadir (10/5): - Le calme, la propreté, la gentillesse du personnel, tout est superbe.
• Jessica (10/5): - Ciao posizione ottima staff eccellente camera ottima e pulita acqua calda per lavarsi hanno anche il servizio motorini è un piccolo supermercato
• Louisa (9/5): - Great value for money and really nice host
• Sarah (9/5): Super ! - Tout est tres bien! C’est grand, propre et il y a tout ce dont on a besoin. La gentillesse des hôtes sont très apreciables Le coq qui chante toute la nuit
• Mariia (7/5): - The room and the property are lovely and very cozy and the hosts are nice and welcoming. I never thought I would have trouble sleeping because of noise - I’ve never experienced this in my life. However, here my nights turned into a total nightmare. I slept a maximum of 3–4 hours a night because of terrible, extremely unpleasant sounds coming from the neighbors’ chickens. These noises were not at all like the usual sounds chickens make, they were harsh, disturbing, and unbearable. It was so loud that even earplugs didn’t help; it felt like it was happening right inside my room. It’s not exactly the host’s fault but please be aware of this when booking this homestay.
• Catarina (10/5): Adorámos! Recomendo e voltaria a ficar lá! - Toda a casa era acolhedora e confortável e adoramos a cozinha exterior NA
• Charlotte (10/5): - Staff so friendly and helpful.

• Alejandra (9/5): - Owners were very welcoming and helpful. We asked for laundry service in the morning and by afternoon it was already washed, dried and folded! (sunny day obviously helped hehe) Nice location and facilities. The fan in the room ceiling was strong so we didn't miss an AC at all. The breakfast they offer is also very good and they have all sort of convenient products in their store. Wifi worked very well too! Overall great stay.
• Mélanie (8/5): Très bien - Très bon rapport qualité/prix. La nuit pour 2 est à 15€ Si vous êtes 4 c'est super d'avoir un lot avec 2 chambres et 1 salle de bain. Sinon, comme nous, vous partagerez avec des inconnus. Le personnel était très sympa. Il y a un petit commerce à l'accueil pour faire quelques achats en boissons et nourritures. Il y a également un service de nettoyage du linge. C'est très bien situé par rapport à Port Barton, c'est calme et proche du terminal bus. Il y avait 2 coqs juste sous notre fenêtre ... 😅 Malgré que le soleil se lève vers 5am ils ont commencé à crier sans s'arrêter à 3am. La chambre est très petite sans possibilité de rangement pour les affaires lorsque la maison est partagée avec des inconnus on ne peut pas laisser d'affaires dans la grande pièce commune. C'est bien pour un court séjour en couple.
• Lavinia (10/5): -
• Nicolas (8/5): - Personnel très gentil et à l’écoute, le logement est bien situé et bien équipé La salle de bain partagée n’était pas très propre mais ce n’était pas la faute des propriétaires, plutot des gens qui partageaient la salle de bain avec nous
• Jonathan Martin (10/5): Recomendable - El personal es muy amable, siempre predispuestos a ayudar sin invadir la privacidad, el lugar esta ubicado a unos 10 minutos caminando del centro pero personalmente eso es lo que buscaba. El jardin wsta muy bien cuidado, te organizan toures o traslados, el desayuno es acorde al precio, realmente en relacion precio/calidad es inmejorable Si sufris del calor, el alojamiento no ofrece aire acondicionado y la humedad y el calor en port barton se puede sentir mas que en otras partes de filipinas, pero es algo que ya sabiamos de ante mano. La ducha tiene poca presion de agua y esta quizas a simple vista un poco viejo, pero solo es una observacion, cumple la funcion y como dije anteriormente, calidad/precio es inmejorable, volveria a elegir el alojamiento sin dudas
• Kévin (8/5): -
• Saravana Rajkumar (10/5): Comfortable and helpful - Top location. Very helpful hosts. Comfortable stay.
• Harrold (10/5): Helemaal top! - Onwijs aardige mensen! Wij wilden barbecueën, de eigenaren hadden speciaal voor ons een bbq geregeld. Ook konden we via hun een boottour en transfer naar Puerto Princesa regelen voor een prima prijs! X
• Oleh (9/5): Все хорошо - Место расположения супер все рядом домик на два номера с общим душем и туалетом , очереди не было хорошо продумано место для готовки еды так как в кафе цены не очень хорошие на рынке все есть за адекватные деньги есть свой прокат байков , рекомендую Умывальник в туалете высоко прикручен ))))
• Maxime (9/5): Bon rapport qualité prix ! - Les propriétaires sont extrêmement gentils ! Nous avons aimé notre séjour au Charity.
• Corentin (10/5): - Everything was nice ! Great staff, great location, clean room and fair price. You can rent a motorbike and the breakfast is yummy. No hook for the towel, it can look silly and just a detail but it's annoying to not have a place for your wet towel. No trash nor fridge in the room.
• Charles (9/5): Great budget option, quiet place, amazing staff - The madre here is one of the nicest people in the Philippines, she is so kind and helpful. Really made the stay enjoyable. They also helped me book a tour and my shuttle up to El Nido. And it is away from town enough so that it is very quiet at night. The water pressure in the sinks and showers is very poor. Took much longer to shower since it is dripping out of the faucet.
• Lucas (10/5): - Le personnel est fantastique, ils se sont super bien occupé de nous, merci encore !
• Suarez (6/5): - Estaba bastante limpio. Fácil de llegar desde donde te deja la van. El personal era amable. El cuarto era bastante pequeño. El ventilador hace bastante ruido. Tienes una cocina pero no si quiera un frigorífico donde poder guardar agua al menos. Una vez que se te acaba el café, papel higiénico y demás utilitarios del baño no los reponen tienes que comprarlos. La presión del agua es muy limitada. El wifi va bastante bien, un poco lento en ocasiones.
• Isidora (10/5): -
• Isidora (10/5): -
• Anthony (9/5): Superb - Charity and Chris were extremely welcoming and helpful - it was a pleasure to meet them. Everything was as advertised, good location and clean rooms. Also we were very happy to stay in a Phillipino family owned and run establishment.
• Marina (9/5): Superb - The host is very kind and helpful. Our house had two rooms only,so we shared the bathroom and kitchen with only one neighbor at some point and later on had it all to ourselves. Everything was clean and cosy. The wifi worked well .
• Sofie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Euridice (9/5): Superb -
• Salome (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great stay at Charity Pension House. The room is small but very clean and there is a kitchen to use for everyone. The breakfast is also very nice and a super fair price. Charity is so friendly and her dogs and cats are super cute. She also helped us with booking our transport to Puerto Princesa and was overall just lovely.
• Madeleine (10/5): Perfect - Charity and her family are the most amazing hosts, we had such a lovely stay. The rooms are super clean and comfortable and the location is perfect (everything is walkable in Port Barton). Charity and her family went above and beyond to make our stay special, thank you!
• Adi (10/5): Exceptional - The crew is so nice, everything is very clean.
• Felicia (8/5): Great! - The staff was very friendly and helpful, making our stay easier by assisting us with booking a boat tour, renting a scooter, and arranging transport to the airport. They also offered a delicious breakfast at a great price. We highly recommend this place! The room was very clean, but had a musty and damp smell.
• Cassandre (10/5): Exceptional - Charity and her husband are very friendly and helpful, we had an amazing stay
• Cassandra (10/5): great stay in port barton - had a great stay here, room is comfy and location is nice and quite. the family is soo nice and helpful with everything, can definitely recommend this place!
• Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - Top quite location within easy walk to the beach and town. Island hopping tours organised on site by the lovely couple running the place with free breakfast and free pickup for tours. (Banana pancakes!) Really enjoyed my stay there. Kitchen facilities and washing facilities available, and even though shared bathroom it was only with one other guest. Shop one site wither supercold water and bear.
• Paris (10/5): Lovely hosts and a very pleasant stay! - We loved our stay here. The hosts couldn’t have done more for us, so friendly and helpful. The shop has everything you need and they are always on site if you have questions. We rented a bike from them and had breakfast there too and were really happy with their service. The room is nice with the shared kitchen and toilet. The location is good and the price is affordable!
• Rejane (10/5): We fell in love w the pets. - Both the host and the pets are the best. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, Charity is the perfect place for you. We stayed in a room that included queen bed, kitchen and an attached bathroom. The kitchen was outside , but well-equipped with everything needed to prepare a basic meal, making it very convenient as we already tired of eating out . Location was good, near the center and beach , but in a quiet area. The room was exceptionally clean, with fresh-smelling linen that was changed every other day . The hosts were amazing , very friendly, and kind. It was a pleasant and welcoming experience. Charity makes home made bread and serve food on her convenience store in the property. A+

• Rick (10/5): 👍🏻 - For the price everything was very clean, they sell tours as well at a good price, and they offer laundry service as well! + the hosts were just amazing, both of them were so incredibly kind! There was not always running water, however this is apparently a common thing in port Barton. To tackle this issue they do provide large buckets of water and u can buy bottled water at the reception as well.
• Wout (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charis (7/5): Cosy short stop - Nice room located within a communal space of 2 rooms with kitchen / bathroom - very comfortable and private feeling. Friendly owner, easy check in Only a fan but good enough speed!
• Zillah (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - Everything about this accommodation was fantastic. The location is good, short walk from the bus station, beach, shops and restaurants. The room was large with a big window and fly screens over the window and door. We were upgraded to a room with private bathroom which was really nice. The unit also has its own little outdoor kitchen area with sink and gas hob. The rooms are set in a mature garden so you get a lot of shade, and there are outdoor seating areas. The whole place is kept clean and tidy, and the owners are lovely, really friendly and helpful. They have a shop on site and also do breakfasts if you don't fancy cooking yourself. The WiFi was OK. We stayed 5 nights and wanted to extend, unfortunately they were fully booked. I would definitely stay here again. Nothing
• Helmi (10/5): Loved this place! - We loved to stay here! Location was perfect and hosts were sincere and hospitable. We were prepared for too warm and humid night because we knew that there is no AC. Pleasent suprise was that the fan in the ceiling was so efficient that we slept perfectly fine. We will delfinitely come back to this accommodation, if we ever come back to Port Barton. Everything was just lovely.
• Ida (9/5): Superb - Very nice place, helpful and sweet couple Who owns The place. Clean, walking distance to everything, good to have a garden to hang out in.

• Janina (9/5): Can recommend - Really clean and comfortable. Chris was really friendly!
• Monika (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous, quiet and clean place own by a very kind and helpful family. Really you can feel like home. You can cook, do your laundry, basically ask anything you need and they will help you. Thank you very much for great time ! 😘
• Amine (10/5): Exceptional - My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Charity Pension House, largely thanks to the amazing owner, Chris and his family. His friendliness and personal touch really set this place apart. Every night, we had the pleasure of engaging in friendly chess matches, which added a unique and enjoyable aspect to my stay. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, with excellent shower facilities. Considering the quality of the accommodations, the price was truly amazing – it's a great value for money. Breakfast each morning was a delightful experience. The food was tasty and provided a great start to the day. Furthermore, the convenience of booking boat tours and a van to El Nido directly through the hotel was incredibly helpful. Overall, I highly recommand.
• Molly (10/5): Perfect stay - We had an amazing 6 nights stay here. Charity and her family are so welcoming and kind and we loved spending time chatting with them. The rooms are in small cottages, with a small kitchen to use, the garden is nice for relaxing and they also have a shop for anything you need. Nothing
• Elsie (10/5): Exceptional - I love my stay here! ✨ The family owners are very nice, they run the place by themselves. The place is clean, nice, and very relaxing. Great value for money!
• Lourenco (10/5): Nice stay with a beautiful view - The owners are very nice. The room is clean and comfortable. They have an indoor and outdoor common area, that is surrounded by trees and plants. I loved the big breakfast that is available for a fair price, 150 pesos.
• Anonymous (9/5): great place to stay - Good value for money, would definitely recommend, good location in Port Barton close to shops, restaurant and the beach. kitchen is well equipped and the staff are very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend. Free coffee and tea available, beautiful trees, plants and flowers all over the property. Overall a great place to stay. No hot water in the showers, Wi-Fi was pretty slow especially in the evening, quite a few insects around but that is quite common in this area.
• Krishna (10/5): Charity Pension House is located 5-min walk to the beach, it would take less than 15-min walk to Flow (pool & bar), - The Hosts, Ate Charity, Kuya Chris, and their daughter, the ambience, location, and the food. None
• Jen (8/5): Good value for money - Nice space to ourselves. Strong shower. Fan in the room was sufficient. Comfy bed. Useful shelves for storage. Kind, friendly hosts. Did laundry here and it was ready the next day. Good location. Everything is within walking distance. Near to some nice food options. No hot water, but not a major issue :) Weak/patchy wifi (but this is true of most of Port Barton)
