Guest Reviews

• Floralie (5/5): -
• Hannah (8/5): -
• Daday (7/5): - The room is comfortable enough so we could rest well. The location is just crowded a bit a too compact with the locals and other establishments. The water for shower is stinky with rust!!!
• Robelle (6/5): -
• Elias (8/5): - El lugar es cómodo, con aire acondicionado y una habitación espaciosa. Nos tocó la que tenía balcón, así que fue lindo para desayunar ahí. También tiene un pequeño mueble suficiente para poner las cosas de tu viaje, lo cuál para mí es importante. La ubicación está cerca de la playa, donde hay varios lugares para comer y ver el atardecer, además cerca de oficinas para contratar los tours, no es tan cerca del centro pero serán 10 minutos en triciclo. Además todo estaba muy limpio . El agua de la ducha salia con un olor muy feo, por lo que nos bañamos con el duchador que se sentía más limpia. El wi fi nunca anduvo de la habitación, lo cual no fue práctico para averiguar cosas del viaje y hacer reservas, etc. Tiene el desayuno que podés contratar aparte, el cual es básico.
• Rochelle (1/5): Book somewhere else awful I’m not a fussy person but this was rank - Nothing Awful I’m not fussy and always leave 10 star reviews this was by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I followed the signs to check in no one was at the desk I called the number a lady said it’s her day off she’ll send details of who to call later I explained I’ve just arrived she repeated it’s her day off. I eventually found someone checked in and smelt mould immediately after refusing I demanded that something had to be done they send someone to clean the outside but not the filters and they said sold out. I thought it’s just one night but I couldn’t breathe I have asthma, fan didn’t work and I couldn’t use aircon. I was sitting outside which was more comfortable. I asked for another room again because I couldn’t breathe they gave me a new one and the guy said I had to pay extra which I refused. This one was also mouldy and no fan but it was slightly easier to breathe. Tap and shower were a trickle. Manager wouldn’t speak to me just spoke through the staff playing messenger. Book somewhere else I’ve travelled for years and never written a bad review. Staff didn’t care about the issue or apologise.
• Cédric (7/5): - Pas loin de la plage Le chauffe eau ne fonctionnait pas .
• Florian (10/5): - Très bien , confort +++ lumineux grande sdb Grande terrasse Un peu dommage on reserve un van a 12h A 9h30 on vient toquer a notre porte pour dire qu'il est là On trouve ca pas correct
• John Melvin (10/5): -
• Nellie (1/5): -
• Lea (8/5): - Personnel gentil, confortable Odeur salle de bain
• YANNICK (1/5): Éviter ce logement - L’eau aux robinets et dans la salle de bain n’est pas utilisable à cause d’une forte odeur de croupie. Impossible de se doucher et même de se laver les mains.. Établissement à éviter !
• Mohamed Feizal (4/5): We had very bad experience, however owner willing to cancel our booking - Water is really very bad smells, internet was not working
• Ruchelle Ann (1/5): - The air conditioning is strong, and the bed is comfortable The location is not easily accessible and it’s tricky to find the correct address. You also need to ride a tuktuk to go elsewhere. The water has a bad smell and seems like it comes from a deep well, which is not really suitable for bathing. There is no internet connection—the receptionist said it has been down for a week. The place also has a weak network signal, so you need to go outside the room to get a better connection. During my 3-day stay, I wasn’t happy with the experience. Sorry, not sorry!
• Adrien (8/5): Recommend as the price is really cheap - Great for the value Not so clean
• Michaela (1/5): -
• Élodie (5/5): Bon pour une seule nuit pas plus - Emplacement près de la mer, chambre spacieuse et confortable. Odeur nauséabonde dans la salle de bain, eau qui sent très fort, odeur d'urine dans l'entrée et l'extérieur, aboiements de chiens toute la nuit. Très cher pour ce que c'est.
• Marleen (6/5): -
• Catherine (5/5): - For the price it's a decent place to stay at. There's a pharmacy, convenience store close by. Somebody's selling lugaw/ arroz caldo in the morning close to the main road. If you walk farther down in the back of the property, there's a shore you can stroll in the morning or sunset. The bathroom! The shower and toilet is in one stall. If you take a shower the bathroom floor and the toilet seat will be wet. The shower and hot water tap didn't seem to work. Maybe that's why there's a pail and dipper. The location is not in the town proper. We needed to take a tricycle going to the town. It's P100 each way for 2 people, they will not take more than 2.
• Alain (8/5): -
• Patrice (9/5): - Le personnel et le manager
• Nadia (5/5): - The room was clean and the wifi was strong, also it's way quieter than in El Nido Town, but still has some restaurants, tours start at walking distance and it's close to Vanilla beach. The room had no Windows (only a tiny one in the bathroom, but opening onto the corridor). The AC and fan were super noisy and rusty.
• Marc (9/5): - Proximité avec la plage , le petit déjeuner , Le personnel ok . La vue sur les toits en tôles pour le petit déjeuner ,mais pas insurmontable.

• Alessandra Durante (10/5): Soggiorno a El Nido positivo 🤗 - Abbiamo soggiornato in questo b&b per due notti e la nostra esperienza è stata positiva. La struttura pulita e confortevole, il proprietario molto accogliente e servizievole. La posizione era ottima . Rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono.
• Anitra (7/5): Personal sehr freundlich. Touren kann man hier direkt an der Rezeption buchen. Die Lage, fasst am Strand ist gut - Die Lage. Nahe am Strand. Einfaches Zimmer mit Balkon. Dusche und Lavabo sehr klein. AC blast direkt über das Bed
• Charlotte (6/5): - Nous avons seulement aimée la gentillesse du personnel. La chambre sans fenêtre, avec une mauvaise odeur. Douche sans eau chaude et une forte odeur nauséabonde des canalisations. Pas de climatisation dans la chambre, elle ne fonctionnais pas.
• Eloi (8/5): - Todo normalito, baño nuevo. El personal esta en otra recepción, huelen las cañerías (casi todos en filipinas) están lejos de las actividades, pero no hay gallos y calle tranquila
• Lorena (8/5): -
• Tiphaine (10/5): - Nous recommandons cet établissement. L’emplacement à deux pas de la plage était parfait. La terrasse et la chambre était très grandes. Le personnel a été super réactif et arrangeant. Encore merci. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
• saikat (8/5): -
• Susanne (7/5): -
• Svetlana (7/5): - Слишком горячая вода, не регулировалась. Полотенца не впитывают влагу. Вокруг помойка и очень не привлекательное здание снаружи.
• Anthony (5/5): Not ideal - It is accessible to Corong Corong beach. The access to the hotel is dirty and smelly. Despite asking the staff to fix the toilet door that does not close properly, they have ignored such request.
• Sophie (8/5): - La propreté et l amabilité du personnel Un peu loin du centre ,chien attaché ds l escalier donc aboiements
• Selma (8/5): - Chambre familiale assez petite mais fonctionnelle. AC et eau chaude! Remerciements au personnel super gentil qui m'a aidé lorsque mon fils est tombé malade. Un peu loin du centre de El Nido mais des restaux et magasins se trouvent à proximité.
• julie (8/5): - Bon emplacement, accès facile à la plage, personnel aimable et disponible, électricité et eau chaude, balcon ombragé Chaleur dans la chambre, bruit de la climatisation
• Goïc (8/5): - Le personnel est vraiment au top
• Mihails (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. - We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly, helpful and always in a good mood. The hotel is right next to the beach where island hopping tours start, and you can also book tours directly at the hotel, which is very convenient. It takes only 5–10 minutes by tricycle to get to El Nido town and costs about 100–150 pesos, so the location is quiet but still very close to everything. We had two rooms next to each other, both with balconies and small tables, which was perfect for sitting outside in the morning with coffee or in the evening. The rooms were clean, everything worked well, and you could ask for cleaning whenever you wanted, even every day. One room had a double bed, a kettle, a fridge, a large sink, toilet and shower. The second room had two single beds; it didn’t have a kettle or fridge, but we think a kettle could be requested if needed (we didn’t need one). The balcony view was of the mountains and partly the sea through palm trees. It was quiet and cozy (there were roosters in the morning, but they didn’t bother us at all). Breakfast could be ordered every day with several options to choose from, both European and Filipino. Overall, the stay was much better than we expected for the price. Nothing to complain about, we really enjoyed our stay.
• vaida (5/5): -
• Patrick (3/5): Passer votre chemin - Le lit Quelle déception arriver sur place, on a eu le sentiment que le lieu ne correspondait pas à ce qu’on nous a vendu sur les photos. Pas de service pour les 3 nuits passées, la poire de la douche était cassée, personne pour la remplacer, la chambre jamais faite, une wifi déplorable et des coupures d’eau régulières.
• Zoe (1/5): Je n’ai pas séjourné ici le bâtiment est abandonné - Rien Je n’ai pas logé ici c’est un bâtiment à l’abandon dans lequel des locaux vivent. Il y a des chiens errants. Ce n’est en aucun cas un hôtel
• Titouan (9/5): - Espace et propreté Pas de fenetre
• Rosa Ana (9/5): Bien - Queríamos un alojamiento para estar el día fuera y llegar por la noche a dormir y sin duda con la relación calidad precio merece mucho la pena. Tiene lo que necesitas: una cama cómoda, aire acondicionado aunque era pequeñito y hacía ruido y un baño. Te dejan café soluble por si quieres tomar y champú y gel para un uso. El personal aunque no los vimos mucho eran agradables. Tienes todo tipo de servicio, motos, traslados, excursiones… Se escucha los gallos que hay alrededor y te despiertan, tienen un perro con una correa ahí que cuando ladra te despierta y el aire acondicionado hace ruido. Por lo demás la comodidad y todo perfecto.

• Scott (8/5): -
• elena (10/5): - Habitacion muy limpia Aire acondicionado. La ubicación es perfecta. La cama es comoda. Siempre amables. La fachada por fuera esta muy mal. Por lo demás todo genial.
• Зубарева (10/5): 10 дней в Эль-Нидо - Очень хороший бюджетный отель. Персонал очень вежливый и дружелюбный. Рядом с пляжем. Подойдёт для не слишком прихотливых гостей. Отличный отель. Всё понравилось
• Manon (10/5): - Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour au vali Joe. L'équipe a été très aidante et toujours disponible ! La proximité avec la plage est agréable. Les petits déjeuners de pancakes sont vraiment très bien. Nous recommandons pleinement.
• ron (5/5): מאכזב - נקודת האור היחידה הייתה אליזבת שהייתה אדיבה וניסתה לעזור המקום רחוק 10 דקות נסיעה בטוק טוק מהמרכז הגישה למקום לא נוחה, חשוכה אין כניסה ללובי מסודר אלא הולכים ליד בתים של מקומיים עד שמגיעים ללובי מאולתר השביל לחדרים היה חשוך ומסוכן וכל הזמן הבטיחו שיתקנו את התאורה הופתענו לרעה מנראות המקום ומהעובדה שהוא ממש היה בין בתים ( פחונים) של מקומיים
• Daniel (10/5): - The staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful, close to the beach. Really good value for money
• THOMAS (1/5): Séjour extrêmement décevant - N/A Il s’agit de la pire expérience hôtelière que j’aie vécue et que je ne souhaiterais à personne. La chambre était sombre et dépourvue de tout confort. Les installations sanitaires étaient dans un état déplorable, avec une odeur nauséabonde permanente. La climatisation était particulièrement bruyante, rendant le séjour très inconfortable. Par ailleurs, l’établissement n’accepte pas les paiements par carte bancaire. En conclusion, cet hôtel est à éviter absolument.
• Tom (8/5): -
• Rick (1/5): - Nothing, it was close to the beach Everything the pictures lie I'm 65 two heavy suitcases and they put me in room three stories up a bed and bath very small. No internet as advertised, no tv, no closet. There was no way I could go up and down that staircase. When I went to talk to them there was no one there. Waited 40 min and left. I booked 30 days because of the pictures. False advertising. I couldn't stay one day.

• Mie (10/5): God service, sødt personale og god beliggenhed i corong corong området! - Nemt og tilgængeligt! Der var det man have brug for, og til prisen var det helt perfekt! Jeg var tilfreds med det hele!
• Layug (10/5): -
• DIDIER (7/5): - L'emplacement à proximité de la plage et des restaurants. Le personnel disponible (petit déjeuner, pizza, laverie) Hélas la chaudière de la douche difficile à régler, de plus il est indiqué nulle part la présence ou plutôt l'absence de fenêtre dans la chambre. Uniquement une fenêtre dans la salle de bain.
• Lynn Christin (6/5): - Die Frau an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich und hat uns auch geholfen eine Tour zu buchen. Die Unterkunft liegt nah am Strand. Es gab kostenloses Wasser. Das Zimmer hatte leider kein Fenster. Die Duschbrause hat nicht funktioniert was mit dem Sand sehr anstrengend war weil man sich dann mit einem Eimer Duschen musste.
• Jennifer (5/5): Affordable place to stay but outdated and uncomfortable. There are other accommodations nearby with the same price but m - Prompt check in and check out, assisted by Leyni and Beth - they are both friendly Free coffee, shampoo Good water pressure Uncomfortable bed Hot water control not user-friendly Noisy aircon (outdated style) Room located 3rd floor, steep stairs, not well-lit for safety
• Simone (8/5): Bom custo-benefício - Os funcionários foram muito gentis e prestativos. A acomodação é simples, mas agradável pelo preço O chuveiro não saiu água, usei a ducha ou o balde e a internet não funcionou
• Dion Cyrus (5/5): pwede na - location and price no internet connection the whole stay

• Tatiana (8/5): Нормально - Жили в номере на 2 ом этаже с террасой,кондиционер работал, розетки расшатанные, проблемно было заряжать телефон, в душе не работал водонагреватель, мы попросили второй чайник, чтобы греть воду для душа😆. На пляж Ванила бич ходили пешком , удобное расположение, и до магазинов близко и до пляжа. Считаю, что мы не привередливые клиенты, в этом отеле жили дважды за нашу поездку. Цена соответствует качеству. Прибирались по нашей просьбе.
• Edgar (6/5): - Sem portaria e internet intermitente; além de que tem cortes de energia programados na região

• Lili-Mai (7/5): -

• Bernard (7/5): -
• Hassan (10/5): - Good. Its good to have something the water which stay in bathroom.
• Asha (7/5): -
• Gareth (10/5): The best value for money I’ve ever come across in the Philippines. - Unbelievable value for money. Sea view, with AC, for €11. Amazing. Antonio even offered me free pizza as he was experimenting with new ideas. This place is a hidden gem. Perfect. Such friendly staff, and they booked me a mini bus to port Barton for 600php. It’s right on the beach within walking distance to scuba diving and great bars and restaurants.
• Mélanie (9/5): - On n’y a passé que 2 nuits mais on a rien à redire, tout était bon ! Calme, bon emplacement, bonne clim
• Ioana (8/5): Buen alojamiento en el Nido - Habitación equipada con todo lo necesario. Cuando llegamos no había luz pero nos dijo que al cabo de 1h se arreglaría y así fue. Salió una cucaracha del baño
• Carlos eduardo (10/5): -
• Moshey Allen (8/5): -
• MaJuannie (5/5): Its okay if you’re really tight in budget - Cheap Location and comfortability - it’s flooding
• Glenda (3/5): Poor -
• Harold (8/5): Very good -
• Venus (6/5): Pleasant -
• Rachelle (7/5): Good -
• Mera (7/5): Good -
• Anastacia (8/5): Very good -
• Reyes (1/5): Bad - The room is fine, the location is close to pop district walking distance! The shower is too low you’ll take 30 mins to finish showering instead of 5 mins! The staff is not responding right away when we need something for the room! The day we arrived i called like more than 10x before they pick up!
• Aina (8/5): Very good -
• Barv (6/5): Pleasant - The entrance to the hotel is quite hidden and goes through residential houses, which was a bit confusing and unusual. The water heater kept shutting off due to an error, and the water quality was very poor. Tiny ants were crawling all over the room, and the air conditioner barely cooled the space — it was only useful as a fan throughout the night. I also experienced several power outages during my stay. The Wi-Fi connection was extremely slow and unreliable. Overall, the experience was far from comfortable.
