Santimart Backpackers Coron

cute and cheap if you just want a place to stay

shared bathroom and shower lucky for us they were clean

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Dark Room, scratcy blanket, loud aircon, not worth the price.

The staff were really nice and friendly and helpful with everything. The air-con was good and the location wasn’t too far from everything.

There were ALOT of bugs. The first room we went in had a cockroach and the second had an ant infestation and what looked like gecko eggs. Was quite expensive for such a low standard.

Pretty decent wifi signal. Water pressure in the shower was ok on two days.

The room was rather depressing and smelled badly of damp. When we asked if there was another room they told us that they were fully booked and that they couldn’t smell anything. We asked if they had it freshener and they said no and offered no further help. The next day we opened the window to try and air the room out, but outside it smelt of sewage, so our room then smelled of sewage. We asked for air freshener again and this time they provided it. The room was hot, however, the mesh grill on the door to keep mosquitos out had a huge hole in it and there were also gaps between that and the door frame, so opening the door was not really an option. The toilet attached to the room had no seat and smelled really awful.

Calm location a short walk from town, nice courtyard for chilling and drinking coffee. Kitchen was nice, fridge and blender for smoothies.

Rooms quite stuffy without the doors open. Better ventilation would make sleeping much nicer.

Room was perfectly cleaned, and seems new. bed was very comfy. Extremely fast Wifi at 100mbps we were so impressed because usually hotels has poor connection in Philippines. Room was bigger than it appears in the picture, and quiet area. Free hot/cold water in the common area. the private bathroom is small and basic (tiny toilet) but you have all the necessary even head shower so for us it was not a problem. Fan is strong enough to spend good nights. Unbeatable ratio quality/value in Coron, and friendly staff. Definitely, we would come back again!

Nothing :)
