Dabdab Tourist Inn

Magnifique jardin et hôtesse d'accueil absolument adorable et arrangeante pour tout, du repas a l’organisation des excursions aux transports...super !

Les lits n'étaient pas hyper confort. Mais tout le reste etait si bien que l’on oublie !

Location was good. Beds were good, and the room was generally clean.

1. The hosts didn’t reply to message request before our stay. 2. They sell underground river trips priced at 2100 per person (without food), which is quite high of a price when you can just walk 500m to the peer and arrange it yourself with way less money. The underground river trips run all day and they are anyway arranged in arrival order, so there is no benefit in doing the extra hustle trying to arrange it through your accommodation, unless you are located all the way in Puerto Princesa. In our stay there, it cost 2300 per person, including a van ride and food. So there is absolutely no justification for the 2100 / person at this place. 3. Wifi never worked 4. No warm water 5. Often there was no personnel on-site / at the reception. We had problem using our room key, but there was nobody to be found or to be contacted.

Each Room is big with balcony outside you can stay. The beds inside are big. Aircon is comfortable. The area is secluded, its like you have a hidden paradise garden. They have a lot of pets who stroll around the establishments. Walls are covered with sea creature and bamboo design which is typical of the locally owned resorts. The staffs are receptive of our requests even in the wee hours. There is a personalized service for every room for hot water and coffee not like others who has common areas for sharing.

They do not have hot water for shower so its very hard to take a bath at night when its cold. The door lock is not functioning properly maybe it needs to be replaced. The dogs and cats are too friendly they can knock on your doors, take your slippers or sit on your clothes. The lights are too dim. There are no signages before going and even in front of the inn so we had to ask around or go to a spooky alley to check where it was.

Great locations and our host Margret was amazing and extremely helpful, even arranging excursions last minute for us. The term you get what you pay for applies and overall even with the negatives I would stay again

The facilitate basic which is fine, however the doors aren't sealed and the screens need replacing so I did get bitten by bugs at night. There isn't hot water and the pressure is so low that you need to bucket wash yourself

Clean room with interesting wall paintings. Free drinking water. Walking distance to everywhere.

Smelly water, no soap, shampoo, no hot water. Would be a good value at $20 a night, 40+ seems excessive but it is a high tourist place.

Beautiful garden, convenient to walk into the little town, bed and pillows were comfy! Decor was interesting! Breakfast was not bad either.

Not much water pressure, asks the check in was unnecessarily confusing.

Das Zimmer und die Bettwäsche waren sauber, aber das wars dann auch.

Der Empfang war sehr unfreundlich, insbesondere als wir der Dame mitgeteilt haben, dass wir die Undergroundriver Tour bereits selbständig gebucht haben (und sie uns somit nichts verkaufen konnte) wars definitiv vorbei mit der Höflichkeit. Das Frühstück wird um 7:15h auf die Terrasse gestellt, egal ob man wach ist oder nicht. Wenn man dann etwas später aufsteht laufen bereits die Ameisen auf den Teller rum… Die Dusche ist die reinste Zumutung, extrem dreckig und verschimmelt und das Wasser läuft in einem dünnen Strahl direkt an der Wand entlang. Es gibt zwar ein wifi Passwort, aber weit und breit kein Netz…

Tutto

Nagyon szép és tiszta volt a szoba. A személyzet kedves volt és segítőkész.

Nem volt melegvíz, ez egy kicsit kényelmetlenséget okozott. Szerveznek Underground river túrát, viszont drágán (Puerto Princessás szállásunk transzferrel együtt olcsobban szervezte).

Close to underground river and nice beach walking distance 5 mins away

No hot water, bed is not comfortable if it’s important to you. Pricey if they organise van and underground trip. It much cheaper to walk in underground tour. They should have given us an option.

Posizione, accoglienza e servizi. La signora ha organizzato tutto il nostro soggiorno: il van per il trasferimento, il tour dell underground river e il pranzo.

Bagno e qualche insettino in giro

Lustiges Zimmer. Vincent van Gogh ähnlich

Badezimmer war mässig.

L’emplacement au calme ,bien entretenu avec un beau jardin chambre simple mais propre

Pas d’eau chaude dans la douche dommage

We loved Dab Dabs location and the quiet/peaceful nature of the rooms and grounds.

There's nothing I can say I didn't like.

The room was big and brightly painted with a seascape, maybe not to everyone’s taste but I loved it. The terrace in front of the room was a lovely spot for breakfast.

The door had a gap meaning mosquitos could get in.

It was very silent (ok, in the morning the rooster started to shout, but this is nobodys fault, just nature) and my room had a nice view to the garden. Ms. Ging-Ging from the reception organized my underground-river tour and my transport to Puerto Princessa very good, thanks again!

Napaka accommodating ng mga staff nila.

All goods naman wala pangit sa service.

Piękne miejsce. Polecam w ciemno. Ŵlasny domek, tuż przy morzu, śniadanie podane na tarasie, piękny ogrod. 5 min do restauracji. Organizują transfer, wycieczkę do Underground River. Polecam

Nie ma ciepłej wody.

Хотелось бы вывеску, в ночи я еле нашел дорогу, подъехал сзади отеля.

Emplacement et cadre

Vétuste, pas d’eau chaude

The rooms are big, a nice outside area and a great location very close to the small village of Sabang

The aircon in the room was so noisy and at several points doing the stay it sounded like it was going to explode. The area has multiple roosters nearby that start at 3.30am.

The hotel was in a great location and the staff were lovely. It’s very simple and basic but wonderful. The gardens are fantastic.

L'emplacement

Nous n'avons pas aimé les chants de coqs là nuit

Pas grand chose au vu de l accueil que nous avons eu je pense que cette dame a jamais sourit dans sa vie un accueil d une froideur digne de ce nom

Toujours pas d eau chaude réparer elle nous réceptionné sur le seuil de notre chambre attention un élevage de coq de combat derrière les chambres nous n avons pas dormi de la nuit du coup nous avons du réservé une nuit dans un autre hôtel un conseil a banir

Chambre et jardin

Pas d'eau chaude.

Erg verouderd en geen weg naar het hotel dus het laatste stuk vanuit het dorpje moet je lopen.

Geen Electra, donker en veel insecten

Wonderful staff very helpful in sorting trips and onward travel. The one addition that would change my rating to excellent would be warm water in the shower.

No hot water. There was a heater pump but was disconnected. Needs to be replaced.

A large garden. The friendly cat. Breakfast.

The water was not running for a couple minutes. There was no hot water.

De locatie was perfect voor de eetgelegenheden en de excursie naar de ondergrondse grotten.

Het personeel was niet vriendelijk, het huisje werd niet schoongemaakt en geen koffie en theefaciliteiten.

Una bella struttura, gestita con estrema gentilezza e bravura dalla Host. Stanze molto pulite, in prossimità del mare, in un contesto naturale molto interessante!! Comodissimo per vedere il fiume sotterraneo.

Krásna zahrada a terasa

Studena voda ve sprse, velmi hlucna klimatizace. Tvrde postele

Clean location on beach

For the price it was fine breakfast at set time only

Proximité de la mer. Chat adorable.

Logement assez bruyant

Posizione e giardino molto curato

Colazione scarsa, nessun tipo di servizio (acqua potabile bottiglia o dispenser e altro), acqua fredda e informazioni sul pagamento dell’hotel e disponibilità di ATM nelle vicinanze errate.

Great value for money; clean, comfortable and central, highly recommended

Die sauberen, grossen, klimatisierten Zimmer und der schöne Garten.

Beautiful lush grounds. Near everything! Friendly helpful staff:) Great large breakfast. Spacious clean rooms with a large veranda👍

Nothing

The location was great as it was super near the port and restaurants.

The unusual sound of the motorbikes during silent hours, since we are just near the road.

Roomy, clean and friendly, professional staff.

No hot water available.

Die Zimmer liegen in einer schönen Gartenanlage, das gute Frühstück wird am Morgen auf die Terasse gebracht.

Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist sehr rustikal (u.a. nur geringe Ausleuchtung) und die Betten eher hart. Für uns hat es aber gepasst.

Great for underground river

Great location, within walking distance to the main restaurant area. It was quiet and very clean. A basic breakfast was included in the price.

Wouldve been nice to have had a hot shower. The mechanism was there for the hot water but unavailable at the time we stayed there.

We had a great stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful, rooms are spacious and clean. Wifi worked great, water pressure good, clean and quiet. I really loved the well maintained garden with tropical plants. Breakfast and coffee in the morning was included which was nice! Thanks for our stay! Till next time!

Clean room; comfortable bed; beds larger than expected; good wifi; quiet; nice garden out front; good a/c; free unexpected and enjoyable breakfast

No hot water; no blanket (sheet given instead); large air gaps at the front entrance door, large enough to let a lizard in, that was seen in the room.

Nice people, nice room

I loved everything!

garden

misleading information (ATM location, trips, room) rooms have 2x double beds

The staff were amazing! Daily breakfast delivered to our door! Very accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. I booked an in room massage, as well! They not only booked our tours, they also accompanied us to both the Underground river and zip line. Thank you. Highly recommend if you want a wholesome local experience.

Just be aware that there is no running hot water. But this was not an issue for us, as the days were extremely humid and very hot.

close to the underground river booking office, close to shops and restaurants, close to the beach

cold showers, thin mattress, noisy cockerels .

The staff are attentive. The room is like picture. Simple but nice breakfast. I recomend.

Staff member we met the second day was very helpful with arranging tours and transport. Breakfast on the porch is a nice touch

Staff were nice but wouldn't stay again, I hated the room! We had a cockroach and plenty of bug friends for company. The chickens are too loud I was up 4am easy both days here. Room is so hot, air con wasn't great, hence why thin sheet to sleep with

This is a great place to stay on a budget. The owner stayed up late for us after we had a flight delay, we arrived at about 2230. The room is large, the bathroom works and they provide breakfast to your room at 0700. They also can arrange your underground river tour, they walk you straightaway to the boat. Also, know going in that it is a small budget place in the jungle, they may or may not have any hot water.

Good location, set in nice gardens, quiet

Mattresses didnt keep your hips off the bed frame, no blankets available, hot water showers not working, wifi not working. It would not take much to sort these things out for a far more comfortable stay, but as it stands I wouldn't recommend this place.

The location is excellent

There was no hot water which wasn’t a huge issue but I like water to be a little warm . The decor of the rooms is a little odd, the rooms are dark.

No hot water

The location was very good only a short walk to village and underground river boats

No hot water for shower, you are not advised of this in description when booking

The outdoor living space

From the moment we arrived the house next door was having a extremely loud karaoke birthday celebration. This continued for two days, commencing at 6.30am. 24 hours the first day then until 9.00pm the next day. We understand staying in accommodation in a local area that we need to be respectful and understanding, however that was not reciprocated. We spoke to the staff and they did not care or change the situation. There are better places to stay than here. Look for somewhere along the sandy beach to the right hand side of the village. (As you are facing the ocean)

Spacious Bungalow in a nica garden. Due to a lack of facilities, we cannot be positive. With some small improvements it would have been perfect. Breakfast, though poor, at your veranda is nice.

No warm welcome, no friendly staff, poor hospitality. No coffee and tee facilities. You even have to bring your own drinking water. No fridge to cool your drinking water. No warm water, although there is a water installation. It looks like there is no intention to repair it, because of the permanent sign ‘out of order ‘. Rouches in the bungalow, probably because they don’t clean the rooms daily. Thin low quality mattress.

Breakfast was included & delivered to my verandah including a thermos of hot water for coffee/tea. Friendly, helpful staff. Located only 5 mins walk from the jetty & main street. Wifi works in the rooms, not just at reception

No hot water. Prevalence of mosquitoes when sitting on the verandah (but suffered no bites in the room). Toilet roll was provided but not soap.

Nice room

Almost abandoned.

Highly recommended. I loved stay at Dabdab.

Everything at Dabdab was excellent, including the included breakfast which was delivered right to your room. I highly recommend this facility for anyone needing an affordable and excellently located place to stay in Sabang. I have absolutely nothing but good comments for Dabdab.

The grounds were very nice. Staff were helpful and the place was clean. Close to town and the boats that left for the underground river tour. They arranged everything for us.When it was time to leave they had a shared van pick us up very good service.

The mattress on the beds were very thin and there was no hot water.

Beautifully decorated room that was spotlessly clean. Friendly staff and in a great location. There's no TV and the Filipino showers are a bit of a shock to the system in the morning but only adds to the experience.

Mattress like a camping mat. After 5 nights here I needed a massage.

Great people, clean, quaint.

No hot water, AC was a bit weak.

beautiful place all round, exceeded my expectations, its right next to the boats that go to the underground river!!!

everything was perfect

The location is perfect, away from any noise but close enough to restaurants to meals. Allowed to hang up wet clothes on porch. Internet was very good.

Cold shower only. The room was kind of dark. Staff was a little hard to find when you need drinking water or coffee. No tv.

Clean spacious, great to go to underground river before the hoards of people get there. It was like a private trip

The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Mila was helpful and friendly. Quiet location. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, toast, fruit and coffee/tea. Simple but tasty.

The staff who we met us on arrival was not very friendly but the other staff were nicer. The hotel is located on a gravel road (just a few minutes walk past the end of the paved road).

It’s very close to the pier to the Underground River. There are few buffet restaurants around the vicinity. Spacious room with relaxing veranda. Beautiful hand-painted walls. Good breakfast.

The karaoke in the neighborhood can last late night (Not the property’s fault)

Location, very close to dock for underground river trip.

Bit hard to find in the dark. Taxi dropped us a few hundred meters away and we had to drag our bags along the seafront.

We had our own balcony that was right next to the beach. It was clean and comfortable for a budget hotel

There was NO hot water
