Family run Guesthouse it’s a nice place to stay. We chose cheap room and it was perfectly clean with modern bathroom, tv ( Netflix etc. ) and grate aircon. Welcoming coffee etc. Really nice place. We arrived late past 9.00pm and tried to contact host by the phone number provided to gain access unfortunately his phone was out of range so if you encounter same issue just shout Ayo. Works everywhere - every time. That’s family establishments so someone is always home.
地理位置挺好的,晚上比较安静,房东人很nice
空调制冷有些不够凉爽
Vicky was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, the air-conditioning great and the WiFi fast and reliable. They had scooters to hire too.

Clean and friendly owners. Also they are willing to give you ideas and information about the areas and activities, and options of alternatives ways to travels whether your going back to cebu or crossing to another island like Bohol or Siquijor.
A little bit hard to locate.
Good vibes
Good people
The owners are so friendly and make a good breakfast. The place was very clean and comfy. We rented a scooter from the owners for 400 pesos per day. The beds were comfy, aircon worked well, showers were cold or hot. Drinking water provided. They stayed up late to check us in at midnight. The area was a very local feel.
The location may be inconvenient for those who don’t have a scooter but otherwise everything is perfect!
Riesiges Zimmer, tolles Bad, unglaublich nette und hilfsbereite Leute, sehr ruhig Lage, gutes und preisgünstiges Restaurant in der Nähe.
Wenn man keinen Roller fährt, ist man von überall zu weit entfernt.
We had a wonderful 6-night stay at RNA Guesthouse and truly enjoyed every moment. We were specifically looking for a quiet, laid-back area away from the busy tourist spots like Panagsama Beach or White Beach, and this place was perfect for that. The only noise we heard came from roosters in the neighborhood, which is quite common in Moalboal, so bringing earplugs might be a good idea. The family running the guesthouse was incredibly warm and accommodating. Drinking water (including hot water) was available for free, and breakfast was offered at a very reasonable price. Had we known earlier, we definitely would have taken advantage of it more often. Whenever we needed transportation, the owner quickly arranged a tricycle for us—always fast, convenient, and reliable. You could also rent motorbike through the owner. The room was comfortable and the air conditioning worked perfectly. In front of the rooms, there is a nice common area with sofas, tables and chairs where you can relax, play cards, or enjoy a drink after spending time at Panagsama Beach, which also offers a wide range of restaurants. What stood out the most was the exceptional hospitality. The best we experienced during our time in the Philippines. A 7-Eleven is about a 15–20 minute walk away. We bought drinks there and stored them in the shared fridge, which was accessible at all times and very useful during our stay. Another highlight was the excellent service provided by the owner when organizing tours. Everything was very flexible, we could even one day in advance and choose our preferred time and mode of transport. Being from Switzerland, I really appreciate punctuality, and everything was perfectly on time. We booked two tours through the guesthouse: one to visit the three highest peaks in Cebu by motorbike, and another to Sumilon Island. After comparing prices with other operators, we saved several thousand pesos by booking directly with the owner.
Bardzo dobry stosunek jakości do ceny. Bardzo mili gospodarze.
Très bon accueil, hôte très sympathique et serviable. La chambre est très bien et très Propre, eau chaude , clim silencieuse. Un frigo dehors est à disposition. L'emplacement un peut à l'écart mais très calme , avec le scooter loué sur place c'est parfait.

The hosts were very friendly and polite, they have laundry service as well.
The location is actually not that good. It's pretty far away from the main beach. You should probably take a tuk-tuk or walk 40 minutes.
Super Guest house !
Merci pour le séjour ! La famille chez qui nous avons logé était très accueillante ! Nous avons même pu partager un repas ensemble, qui reste un super souvenir. Merci encore
Miła obsługa, czyste i nowe pokoje. Skutery do wypożyczenia za 400 pesos za dobę. Skutery nowe, w dobrym stanie z dosyć małym przebiegiem

So far the best place I stayed in Cebu. Its owned by a family and they are ALL super nice, funny and caring. I felt at home and they looked after me. The room was super clean, big and confortable. They can rent bike if needed. They have a small bar where you can buy drinks and beer as well as small snacks. I don’t eat breakfast but every morning I got my cup of coffee with them. 10 minutes walk you have JGs grill which is really good and affordable compared to price in the touristic places. It’s 10 minutes walk from the center of Moalboal. It’s a safe and quiet area and I walk there at night by myself. It’s only 10/15 minutes bike to Basdiot which is the extremely touristy area. It’s 20 minutes bike by bike to the white beach. The location is perfect as it’s a quiet area near everything. A special thanks to Vicky!!

The host was wonderful and very helpful and I would highly recommend. A nice breakfast was given for a small cost with coffee.
Very nice host. Good value for money.
Rico and his family are great hosts. They offered not only a good room but also helpful advice on where to eat and go, and they rented us almost new scooters in excellent condition. The room was clean, tidy, and spacious, with a brand new, super quiet AC. They provided us with free drinking water, and the common area is equipped with a fridge and a kettle. Restaurants and cafes are in the walking distance.
Neighbours roosters were mentally loud. Earplugs are must.
La habitación es muy cómoda y el baño cuenta con ducha de agua caliente, algo que realmente se agradece en Filipinas. El personal es súper amable y hace todo lo posible para que te sientas a gusto. La señora Vicky es un amor. Hay dispenser de agua fría y caliente, café y dos tazas en la habitación. El aire acondicionado está disponible (yo no lo utilicé porque no me gusta), y tras pedirlo me facilitaron un ventilador sin problema. Eché de menos algún estante para la ropa, ya que solo hay perchas para colgar y ningún espacio donde apoyar o doblar prendas. El alojamiento está bastante apartado. Si buscas tranquilidad, esto es un punto a favor, pero conviene saber que no hay absolutamente nada cerca y que para cualquier cosa necesitas moverte en moto. Lo recomiendo, pese a los puntos negativos que mencionaré en el apartado correspondiente.
Como puntos negativos, considero importante mencionar dos situaciones: Al alquilar la moto directamente allí, me colocaron un soporte para el móvil (GPS) que estaba roto. Durante el trayecto se desprendió en plena ruta y el móvil cayó al asfalto. Por suerte, y literalmente por milagro, el coche que venía detrás no lo pisó. Al regresar al alojamiento y comentar lo ocurrido, el señor no pareció sorprendido; por sus gestos y la conversación en su idioma con su señora, dio a entender que ya sabía que el soporte estaba en mal estado. Me parece un hecho grave, ya que podría haber provocado un accidente serio. Por otro lado, había quedado acordado el día anterior que el señor estaría en recepción a la hora de mi salida para llamarme un tuk tuk. Sin embargo, a la hora pactada no había nadie. Tuve que dejar las llaves y marcharme caminando. Quiero aclarar que no creo que ninguna de estas situaciones haya ocurrido con mala intención; se nota que son buena gente. Aun así, considero necesario mencionarlo para que se tenga en cuenta y pueda mejorar la experiencia de futuros huéspedes.
Quiet location but close to everything. Super friendly and helpful family made everything easy.
Es war ruhig, da die Apartments weg von der Straße liegen, was uns wichtig war, da wir mit einem Säugling gereist sind. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und alles super sauber. Die Gastgeber waren extrem hilfsbereit und nett und haben uns spontan geholfen, als wir Probleme mit einer Fährverbindung hatten.
L’accueil de cette famille m’a extrêmement touché

Petite rue tranquille à l écart du centre-ville Location de scooter sur place Petite cantine avec rafraîchissement et grignotons sur place Personnel amical
Das RNA Guesthouse ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen. Es ist günstig, sauber und hat wirklich alles was man braucht. Das Wlan und die Klimaanlage funktionierten ebenfalls super. Das Zimmer ist grosszügig gestaltet und vor dem Zimmer gibt es sogar einen kleinen Gemeinschaftsbereich. Jeder hatte ein kleines Tischchen mit zwei Stühlen. Es war sehr gemütlich hier den Tag ausklingen zu lassen. Die Betreiber waren sehr sehr freundlich. Sie haben uns für wenig Geld einen Roller organisiert. Auch den Transfer vom Flughafen nach Moal Boal und die Weiterreise nach Panglao haben sie für uns gebucht. Alles hat reibungslos funktioniert und wir hatten einen sehr aufmerksamen Fahrer. Auf Nachfrage haben sie sogar unsere Wäsche gewaschen, das war sehr nett & wirklich günstig. Man ist hier wirklich sehr gut aufgehoben. ☺️ Die Lage war etwas ausserhalb und daher schön ruhig. In ca. 10 Minuten ist man mit dem Roller im Zentrum (wo es diverse Restaurants gab), sowie am Meer.
Man konnte die Zimmernachbarn gut hören & unsere waren leider nicht sehr ruhig. 😉
They were like family
Accoglienza stupenda Stanza molto spaziosa e molto pulita. Il giorno del check out ci hanno fatto fare una doccia prima del nostro volo
Todo. La atención del personal, ayudándote en todo momento y ofreciéndote servicio de transfer del alojamiento a la parada de bus, mucho más barato que un trycicle. La habitación y el aseo super limpios y espaciosos con diversas ammenities. Servicio de alquiler de motos en muy buen estado.
Nada. Todo fue perfecto. Un lugar para repetir sin ninguna duda. Ubicación en zona tranquila y de fácil acceso. Relación calidad - precio insuperable :))
Bardzo przyjaźni i pomocni gospodarze. Pokój całkiem przestrzeny i czysty. Ciepła i zimna woda oraz lodówka do dyspozycji.

The hosts were so friendly and helpful with any questions which I had, this made my stay even nicer. The room was large and more than enough for me, equipped with everything you need
It’s a little further out of the tourist area, which I was a little worried about, but in the end I preferred this
Really lovely owners and staff, so helpful and accommodating… really made our trip to Moalboal. Rooms are really clean and spacious. Would highly recommend!!
The owners are very accommodating.

Great location and very helpful owner and his sister. You can rent motorbike from him. Everything was nice and clean.
First we love the owners! They are very kind & accommodating! They even let us have some of their fruits & vegetables in their private garden. They also have share kitchen and tables and chairs just outside of our room so that we can eat after cooking. The bathroom is also clean and water pressure is strong. The rooms are clean too.
Maybe sometimes there are caterpillars 🐛 outs side & sometimes in the bathroom. But it can’t be help as it is a province area. Also our tv didn’t work properly compared to to my friends room which it work.
A nice place with nice host.
The place is accessible for us to locate especially if you are a tourist.The owner is approachable and accomodating.The area is clean and the place is praceful at the same time.
Simple but perfect, I really enjoyed my night in this guest house! I could leave my backpack with them during the day
Owner Rico was always ready to help. Outstanding person and his family. He found best trips and best prices... Super helpful and trustful person.

The owners are very kind and they try to help in everything. Place is quiet. Hot water is available. WiFi works perfect.
The room is new, clean, very nice exactly like on photos, fan and air conditioning, probably nicest bathroom which I have in Philippines, owners are very friendly ofer laundry service and rent scooters. Have they own small bar where you can buy water, beer some snacks…
The local is far from beach and restaurants, so you have to go by scooter or they catch for you tricycle to take you to the beach… but it’s also benefit because they were very quiet…
Great Guesthouse with nice hosts. The location is a little bit outside of town. I definitely recommend getting a scooter because the tuktuks in town usually won't drive for less than 150-200 pesos. The hosts were happy to help us with any problems. They also got us a taxi to cebu for only 2500 pesos which was way less than what we managed to haggle.
Stay there my friend! You hardly find something better! It's all just fine!
Nothing special
Air - con workig very noisy. Not way to sleep well.
The hosts are so lovely, kind and caring! I was able to rent a scooter from the accommodation directly which enabled me to see most of the South Island and get into town easily. I ordered breakfast each morning which was so perfect and convenient. Everyone made sure I was really looked after and I loved my stay. Super quiet, clean and good AC!
Pillows could have been a little better that’s the only 1 thing I could fault if I had to say something :)
Great accomodating owners and super clean room with simple but complere items you might need..
But it is 15minutes by motorbike away from the snorkelling area.
Fabulous spot, better out here than in Moalboal itself. Much more peacful. You can rent a scooter for a reasonable price as well. The owners are really nice as wfoodand happy to help.
Great Customer Service, the owner and his wife were extremely helpful and helped me with every need. Great AC, comfortable beds, laundry service, water heater with great pressure, and scooter rentals. Best value by far!!

extremely clean room. Very nice owner. I stay there 7 days more. Definitely recommend this hotel.
I like it so much
The host was so nice 🙂 thanks again for the party 🎉
Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful. The site is nicely organized. Spacious rooms.
Maybe the air conditioner was a little weak. The location can be a little hard to access.
everything, clean linens and towels. the room smells good ,the hosts are great.
Clean and peaceful location. Very accomodating hosts.
AC not enough to cool the room. But owner lend us an electric fan which somehow resolved the problem.
The owner was very nice
LocationIt is far from the town but if u have bike then ok
Quiet Guesthouse owned by friendly family. Clean rooms with ac. You can easily rent out great scooters at the accommodation to go to moalboal or the beaches around.
The property was decorated beautifully, the rooms were very clean, the staff was great! Extremely welcoming and friendly. Anything we needed, RNA was able to provide (food, transportation, tours, recommendations). We will definitely stay here again if we plan another trip to Moalboal!
There was nothing we did not enjoy about this property. Everything was perfect!
My entire experience in staying here was amazing. The room was clean and well kept. They change the AC unit coz the previous was already bad. But more than facility, it was Nanay and Tatay (forgot their name coz im a dori) made me feel home 😩 I dont wanna leave but I have to go back to Manila for a bit. They're very accomodating and helpful they even lend me their water heater when they learned I work at night. They ask me hows my day and where I went everyday. They went above and beyond. I honestly feel home. I am coming back and will definitely stay at RNA again. Thank you po. See you soon!
Wish we stayed longer!! Wonderful stay and wonderful hosts! Highly recommend!!!
