Nice stay in lovely Port Barton. Wilson and staff are lovely hosts. I got a hand fracture during my stay and they were so helpful with practical things. /Stefan

Ein verstecktes Juwel in Port Barton! Von außen wirkt die Pension eher unscheinbar, aber sobald man das Tor durchschreitet, öffnet sich eine schöne und extrem gepflegte Anlage. Alles im Hof war blitzsauber und einladend. Die Zimmer waren groß, sehr sauber und auch die Badezimmer haben uns voll überzeugt – wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das außergewöhnliche Personal. Vor allem der junge Mann an der Rezeption war fantastisch: Er hat sich wirklich um ALLES gekümmert, egal ob Tuktuks, Reisen oder die Organisation von Bootstouren. Er hatte für jeden Wunsch ein offenes Ohr und war immer bereit zu helfen. Wir kommen definitiv jedes Mal wieder hierher zurück, wenn wir in Port Barton sind!“

Staff were lovely. The room did the trick.

The power does go off so the room did become very hot, but not the properties fault.

Propre, au calme, confortable, petit balcon. J'avais une chambre avec ventilateur mais c'était tout à fait suffisant. Des rangements. Water refill, café offert. Bon emplacement à 5 minutes à pied de la station de mini-van. Excellent rapport qualité-prix. Staff adorable. Vous pouvez acheter un island hopping tour ou billet de bus chez eux ce sont les mêmes prix partout en ville.

This small place is cozy and the rooms are big and nice. The best asset of this place though is Wilson and the girl (forgot her name). Very nice and genuine people. I came back to Port Barton after 18 years and it was nice to see that the place is still lovely.

During long power outages (from midnight until 12:00), they provided a generator in the mornings to help run the fan, and a candle at night. The laundry service is excellent – clothes come back clean and smelling great for 100 pesos per kilo. There is a nice veranda where you can sit and relax. The staff were kind, friendly, and genuinely tried to help with any request. The WiFi is strong and works well, which is a big plus in the area. You can easily arrange transportation through them to El Nido and other destinations, which is very convenient.

There are no window screens, and due to the power outages and needing to keep windows open, a lot of mosquitoes came in. There were also big spiders, but I don't know if it can be changed. The power outages were very difficult to deal with on a daily basis, although they did try to help with basic solutions like providing a bucket for showering. On the second night, extended family of the owners stayed over and made a lot of noise at 4 AM, waking me up due to an early tour they had. In that morning (around 9 AM), there was again loud music and singing outside the rooms. One of the dogs on the property tried to attack me in the main walkway used by guests. I don't think its appropriate to have an untrained dog freely roaming the area. A staff member apologized, but it felt like they did not fully understand the seriousness of the situation. It’s important to note that after the incident with the dog, it was locked inside to prevent it from happening again. The shower head is almost falling apart and needs to be handled very carefully. There are really good intentions from the staff and genuine effort to help, along with some pleasant features such as the greenery, the veranda, and strong WiFi. However, the combination of noise issues, safety concerns with the dog, and long power outages (that happened all across the town) significantly affected my overall experience.
