Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (8/5): - Very friendly and accommodating staff. We enjoyed the freshly made meals!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Room space is great. However dont see any concerns ifthere were emergency situations
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff was very professional and accommodating. The owner was extremely friendly and had brief conversation with him myself. This place is definitely out of the way of a busy area so there won't be much close to walking distance but it is very relaxing.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Property was tucked away and quiet. Staff was very courteous and friendly. Shower, toilet, and sink were all separated so it was nice in the morning when getting ready. Property felt very safe. Room was very clean and kept up.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - This is a small hotel that was perfect for a stay prior to taking the van to El Nido. Also stayed one night on the return from El Nido before flying out. Great A/C and internet. Nice little kitchen area for meals. Very quiet but just a few minutes to town for 100 Peso trip.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were fantastic, very helpful. The breakfast was more than sufficient. The pool was always kept clean by the staff. Overall we found it a great place to stay and would definitely go back again.
• Allan g (8/5): Quiet & beautifully appointed large rooms - Well presented- tastefully appointed hotel A little distant from city Breakfast adequate Dinner not available one night during stay without any notice
• Verified traveler (10/5): Paboreal; my home away from home - A little gem in Peurta Princesa. I travelled here with my family and felt very welcomed by the owners and staff. The breakfast was very good. For a small fee, you can get a latte or espresso. Rooms were very clean. There is also laundry service. I can’t wait to return!
• ermie (8/5): - High speed internet , Warm water , Modern bathroom . Very friendly staff .

• Rob (10/5): - It is located out of town, good and back, quiet, hear birds, see stars at night but tricycle ride into town but loved the location & they arrange tricycles into town. Great pool, great staff.
• Ashley (8/5): - Paboreal staff were very nice and breakfast was very good. They were amazing at giving tips for our next stop in El Nido which was very helpful. For example, they warned us that in El Nido to avoid ice cubes. Rooms are clean and probably the most comfortable bed out of my entire trip in the Philippines. Rooms are more of an industrialish kind of vibe. We left once at 8:30 PM to go get food in town and had a little bit of trouble getting back into the hotel (arrived back at 9:15 PM) as we had to wait for someone to come and unlock the main door. Also, trips into center of town are only 50 PHP via tricycle.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - If you want excellent service and a very well kept and clean property look no further than Paboreal!!

• Damian (10/5): Great hotel. Staff are awesome! - The staff are really nice.. they would always go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Even offered to make us food when the kitchen had shut. Location was good. Only down side for us was the shower was cold. But for the price it's not really worth complaining about. Really good value for money hotel. Will definitely come back!
• Jack (10/5): - The staff were very nice, helpful, professional and accommodating. The room and the property were very quiet, clean, well-maintained, comfortable and safe. The location was a short tricycle ride to a nice seafood restaurant (Badjao) on the water.
• jeffrey (10/5): - extremely personalized. out of the way of the city.. and that is its charm. the staff will call a trike for you or what ever you want, just ask them. The do not promise if they can't do (greatly appreciated)... and they will do their best. Very romantic setting.
• Nomes (10/5): - Cute hotel with lots of different decor. It was away from the main part of the city so it was nice and quiet. We were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived! Check in was quick and the staff give a mini run through of hotel policies with the whole party. Since the hotel is away from the main action, the hotel calls tricycle drivers to come pick you up to take you wherever. The WiFi is weak on the 2nd floor but still works. Had to knock a little for comfort because the beds were too soft. Separate toilet, sink, and shower was very convenient!
• P (10/5): - Very friendly staff who made our stay wonderful. Very relaxing location away from the center of the city.
• P (10/5): - Nice quiet hotel. It offered a nice respite after tours. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.
• Krishna (10/5): Great stay - The staff were amazing and accommodating! Although the hotel was a little far from the city center, the staff (especially Vince) made sure that my family was comfortable and satisfied with our stay!
• Steve (10/5): Absolutely the best - The most helpful owner ensured that I tick something off my bucket list. It was hard to find but he did it. Thanks
• Vanessa (10/5): Awesome triple room! Great hotel - Amazing hotel, beautiful room, great breakfast, delicious pasta available at their restaurant. Very convenient, quiet area, easy transportation and booking activities.Great staff!
• Mark (10/5): Immaculately presented and welcoming oasis - You are greeted warmly by a team who obviously enjoy guests and who appreciate great customer service. The whole facility was very clean, extremely well kept and pleasantly quiet. Tricycles are readily available to take you from this quiet retreat into the town centre, reception are more than happy to arrange this and the trip takes about 10 minutes to the SM shopping mall in town proper. The city itself also seemed to be the most friendly and well organised that we have visited in the Palawan's which included Coron and El Nido. Thank you for a great stay...!
• Estefany (10/5): - As stated by management, this is a luxury hotel with simplicity... true enough, simple in layout, but classy; quiet, good music on the background & you feel safe.
• Hal (10/5): - The staff was very friendly and helpful!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Fab place. Secluded but near everything. Really high quality. We have already been back!
• Annie (10/5): Good accommodation and excellent service - The staff and the owner made us feel welcome. We needed to stay in Puerto Princessa for one night before going North to the Bacuit Bay and then a second night when we came back from El Nido with a flight the next day. The hotel was perfect, the pool area very nice and quiet and the staff very helpful. We will certainly consider staying there for a longer stay when coming back to visit the area around Puerto Princessa!
• Vlad Alexandru (8/5): Average Hotel with superb staff and owner! - The hotel itself is average at best, the room is clean but the the bathroom is divided in 3 separate modules: one for the toillette, one for the sink and one for the shower. If you want to take a shower after you brush your teeth you have to get out of the sink "module" and go to the shower "module". It is a bit odd at first but it's ok in the end. The only thing that needs improvement is water pressure which almost lacks (I mean when you want to take a shower there is very little pressure so the water comes out almost dripping) and the water temperature: we had almost only cold water or hot and very hot water nothing in between. Although it may have some minuses, the Paboreal makes up for all the these with the staff and the hotel owner. They made our experience here superb and very personal and intimate. The location is pretty far from Puerto Princesa center and from everything basically but this can be easily overlooked if you rent a motorbike. When I will be back to Palawan and Puerto Princesa I will definitely stay here again.
• Carmina (8/5): - The service I got from the hotel is superb! Thumbs up to the staff and owner. They’re very accommodating. They helped us when my son was sick at that time. The hotel is very clean, well maintained. Although cleaning of room should be advised by the customer and not automatic. The food is okay although they should improve on this. They don’t serve lunch, you have to go out to buy. Breakfast is very light. As a Filipino, I was expecting a rice breakfast but it’s more like to the taste of other nationalities. All in all, the service more than covered for the food served.
• Gilberto (10/5): Paboreal Boutique Hotel - amazing - Party trip and stay. The hotel and staff were amazing! My friend left a couple of items in the room, including his mobile phone, and the owner personally brought them to him at the airport. That’s over and beyond anything we’ve ever expected. Love this place!
• Annemarie (10/5): Brief but fantastic stay in the best hotel ever - I cannot fault anything about this hotel. The decor has fantastic attention to detail whereby everything has been considered. The staff are an asset to the hotel...so kind, polite and thoughtful. The host was charming, sharing fantastic restaurant recommendations with us. Everything here was covered - from the activities to do, to the shuttles. By far the best hotel we’ve stayed at in the last 6 months... here is an organisation that truly cares about its patrons. Big thumbs up!
• Curt (8/5): Quaint little hideaway - The hotel van picked us up at the airport as promised. Met in the lobby to get the lay of the land. Staff arranged our transportation for the evening and the next day. Even got a welcome drink of pineapple juice. The room was quite warm when we got into it, but the 3 fans and wall A/C cooled it off. We were in room 14; 2nd floor with a pool view. Everything was very comfortable, except for the water temperature. It kept fluctuating between hot and cold as I was showering.
• Kalpana (10/5): Nice little hotel hidden in Palawan - It was a very pleasant and satisfying stay. The services were excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They ensured we had a great time and there’s no room for any complaints or dissatisfaction. The owner is a very nice gentleman who personally ensures the guests are very well looked after. They even cooked a nice vegetarian meal for us and packed us stuff for our day trips. The rooms were really big and comfortable. Overall, this hotel is a great find in the city of Puerto Princesa. I shall definitely visit again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very good hotel. Very organized - The hotel is clean, the staff are all friendly and very helpful. Even the owner is there to welcome their guest & make their guest comfortable. Esp. If the guest is a first timer in palawan, one will not feel alone.
• mark (10/5): Excellent! - The hotel was clean and in a quiet area but easy access to restaurant's and the city. The room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were excellent and ready to please. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this hotel, we will stay here again when we return to Puerto Princesa next year.
• Luc (10/5): For a perfect stay - Paboreal hotel is a modern, clean and very comfortable hotel. The rooms are modern, big and come with a sofa and desk. The balcony was awesome, with a view to the pool. I was impressed by the owner and the staff doing the extra mile to provide the best service. The hotel is a bit outside of the center, of Puerto Princesa but it is very quiet and walk-able distance to restaurants. The hotels has its own restaurant. The pool was great and clean. Wifi was good and worked inside the rooms, it was faster than in the other hotels we tried in the city. I totally recommend this hotel for a great stay in Puerto Princesa!
