Si me gustó mucho muy buena atención
Estaba un poco lejos pero neutral entre playa y ciudad
Camerele sunt spatioase si curate, zona este linistita si aproape de centru, am inchiriat de la ei si scuter si a fost de mare ajutor. Personalul este de nita 10000000000, sunt minunați, plin de viata si ne au raspuns la orice intrebare, chiar ne au invitat si la karaoke, sunt super dulci si amabili. ♥️🤗
Large, comfortable room with great cable tv, large fridge, hot water, good a/c, nice mountain view in a quiet area. A couple dollars more than PI economy hotels, but very much worth it! The staff were exceptional. Helpful, warm, welcoming! The owner even paid half of a medical bill and provided transport to the clinic that resulted from a minor accident (no one’s fault) on the property. Pretty amazing!!
A bit away from the beach front, but an easy 10 minute walk to town.
Todo genial. Además puedes alquilar la moto allí.
La habitación es súper amplia y el desayuno exquisito. Son todos super simpáticos.
La cama es un poco blanda y no alquilan moto directamente por lo que está lejos
В номере хороший кондиционер, большой холодильник, нормальный wifi, хорошее постельное белье и полотенца. Постоянно есть горячая вода. Снаружи есть сушилка для одежды, есть шкаф, удобные мягкие кресла. Снаружи есть плита, микроволновка, небольшой набор посуды. В номере нет чайника, но есть большой термос, мы ходили за кипятком на ресепшн, в принципе, не проблема. Дружелюбный персонал, всегда готовы помочь. На ресепшене можно заказать блюда по меню, чай, кофе. Не было одеяла, но мы без проблем получили его на ресепшн. В целом довольно тихое и уютное место.
Пешком далеко до всего, но так как мы приехали на мопеде, то нам было удобно. Днём были небольшие ремонтные работы на входе в гостиницу.
Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen. Das Zimmer war sehr groß und sauber und vor der Tür gab es auch einen kleinen Wäscheständer auf dem man seine Sachen trocknen konnte. Roller werden ebenfalls vermietet und das zu einem sehr guten Preis (350PHP pro Tag). Das Personal war super freundlich und hat einen direkt wohlfühlen lassen.
Die Lage ist zu Fuß etwas ungünstig, aber mit dem Roller ist man innerhalb von 10-15 Minuten mitten im Geschehen. Es gibt aber fußläufig einen Supermarkt (etwa 10 Minuten) und dort ist auch die Busstation.
Très grande de chambre dans un hôtel excentré mais au calme. Personnel très agréable et à l’écoute. Location d’un scooter en bon état à prix faible (350 p) qui s’avère par contre absolument nécessaire pour rejoindre les plages.
Literie un peu dure… mais cela m’a paru un détail
房间大,有分体空调很好,应该是安静的,到海边浮潜的地方4公里多,必须坐车,出去的三轮车她们可以负责安排,200p,服务态度好。
洗澡水通过电热水器加热,水量不足,人多时有时小到断流滴水状态,很难正常使用。
превзошел все ожидания, так дешево, а качество на высоте, очень внимательный персонал, отличный новый байк в аренду 500-700 песо и это единственный отель на филиппинах, где были теплые одеяла
we were well welcomed . the woman at the reception was very kind and helpfl
the water machine with cold water did not work only boiled water
Grande chambre, propre, bien équipée et lumineuse. Secteur calme, le personnel est très agréable et professionnel. Un peu excentré, un moyen de locomotion est indispensable, l'auberge propose la location d’une moto en bon état, 350 pesos/jour. ( le moins cher en 1 mois aux Philippines). Eau chaude ou froide à disposition. Arrêt de bus à 900m.
Everything was amazing. Staff were amazing the value for money is incredible.
The only thing I’d say is jf you aren’t renting a bike you’ll be a bit out of the bubble. I preferred it that way though and it was an epic stay.
Airco Wi-Fi
Nhân viên thân thiện, nhiệt tình.
Super friendly staff, nice and comfortable room with quiet AC
אחלה מקום! מיקום קצת מרוחק אבל לנו זה היה מושלם, ביקשנו מהם להזמין לנו טוסטוס ונסענו לאן שרצינו. מקום נקי, יש מים חמים במקלחת ואחלה מיטה הצוות ממש נחמדים ומסבירי פנים
Comfortable bed, good internet, no rusters to ruin our sleep, front terrace to dry clothes.
Bathroom not clean. Kitchen sink not clean. Towels were smelling good but were having old marks and were very old, therefore of poor quality.
Me gustó la limpieza, lo único. Estaba todo limpísimo aunque todo el mobiliario era feo y viejo. El ac y la nevera funcionaban estupendamente, eso si.
La ducha fue horrible. Era un hilo de agua tanto en la ducha como en el lavabo. La habitación era enorme y el baño pequeño en proporción. La ubicación horrible y el alquiler de moto también. Mejor alquilar moto fuera del hotel. Sin lugar a dudas, no repetiría.
Good place
Prijazno osebje ustreglo vsem dodatnim željam. Mirna okolica. Manj kot 1km.od avtobusne postaje.
My request was granted to stay on the upper floor, the room was clean as expected. The bed and pillows are comfy, the cr is very clean! This property is a hidden gem. You get more than what you paid for
Cleanliness, very high standard room for philippines
Good Place, big room , quite and clean
You Need a bike tò reach all places
Great Appartement, coazy funiture, bike rent, and not to far from everything if you have a bike if not well not good for you
Good size,clean apartment on the way to White Beach(10min on scooter).Good snorkling!Get into the water as far as you can walk towards the right hand side of the beach. The current will slowly take you towards the right. There are healthy corals, the odd turtles and sea snakes. Out of the touristy,overpriced Panagsama!
Really happy with our stay, the rooms were spotless and very spacious. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, very quiet at night. Rooms had aircon and a TV. Would stay here again.
You will need a bike or get a tricycle to get into the main areas, but the hotel can rent you a bike for a great price.
-nice room with balcony and fridge -possibility of renting scooters (350 pesos) and taking trips -they can arrange tuk tuk transport if needed -free water
-a bit far from beaches and restaurants
Maybe the location. Its quite far from the busterminal
I love the room. It's big and comfortable
The TV didn't work well. The accommodation was not nice, we booked in advance but we were transferred to another building with a smaller room. I am not sure whether because the comfort room was broken or maybe they were just fully booked and didn't have any room for us for a night. Good thing, we were transferred back the next day.
Nice room for the price
The common area, like corridor was super dirty, they never cleaned it Water from refill has a bad quality. Very bad taste
Rooms were big and clean. Staff were super helpful and friendly my whole stay. They sorted me out with a scooter no problem. Will need one if you want to frequent the beaches and tourist strip. Would definitely stay here again
It was clean and they were very helpful.
It was a bit too far from all the restaurants, but we could rent a motorbike from them.
Super spontaneus booking Big room
Nice clean big size room. Good friendly host
Low pressure shower. No mosquito nest.
Spacious room, clean and comfortable. About 10 mins by bike from the main tourist area of Moalboal. Ideal location as it’s a lot quieter and away from the hectic main strip. We rented a motorbike for the time we stayed to be able to access the area around but tricycles are also available and cheap to take you around. Drinking water available on site. Reception staff were friendly and welcoming.
WiFi was awful. Very unreliable going constantly on and off. Made having television in the room pretty useless as streaming was not an option.
Best bang for the buck property so far. Staff are so welcoming and the rooms are so pretty and clean.
Room is spacious and clean, comfortable beds, AC working, refrigerator and freezer working. Filtered water available by the rooms. Price was good for the limited/no amenities.
They recently painted the rooms so the smell was very strong and gave us a headache- windows doesn’t open. Toilet is not working and flushing, needs to pour the pail of water to flush. Used the pail and bucket to shower, shower head not working. No phones in the room, need to go down from 2nd floor to ask for things or if need to complain. Internet shady, didn’t really work. Far from eateries and restaurants. No food or breakfast on site. Bring your own shampoo/conditioner/soap. Limited outlets to charge electronics.
Nicest room I've had in the philippines, soft bed, big room, everything worked. You can rent a scooter from the hotel.
It's a little distance form every but not a problem with a scooter
Great value for money, good facilities for the price paid and nothing to complain about. A nice view from the terrace overlooking the mountains, 24h reception, good parking place and away from busy part of town. It is a good place to stay if you have your own transport and if you want more privacy and away from the busy streets. Thank you for the stay! Salamat po!
Super friendly staff, nice to have a car park and out of the hustle.
Building work going on but I understand they need to!
Nice stay with friendly staff and a good breakfast
Nothing
Really good sized room, staff were super friendly and helpful, full length mirror, sofa and big comfy bed, decent aircon, bathroom was clean & fresh towels
Not a deal breaker but you have to rent a bike to get around / into town bc of the location but it’s cheap enough & gives you freedom!
There was a 24-hour service at the reception area and they were so accommodating, they even let us leave our things at the place first when we arrive at 5am to proceed with our tour.
Absolute nothing.. staff is horrible - NO internet as advertised and when asked about it all staff can do is laughing and carry on with whatever they were doing on their mobile phones
Everything ... Horrible place and staff is disgusting
We like the location,they have free water to drink,the staff were accomodating well to us..
Staff was perfect, everyone was really friendly. We felt great there. Room was very clean, we also had motorbike rented from the hotel so we didnt have to book it somewhere else. You can reach White bech and Panangsama beach in less than a 10 minutes ride. Hotel has also offers for Canyoneering and whale sharks and we were very satisfied with guides and everyone in the team. We had a great stay there :) thank you!

Lovely place, good vibe, calm clean and peaceful Facilities were good, value for money was great, staff were lovely Very happy all round will most likely stay there again
Large shower with hot water Fridge freezer Sofa Large room for affordable price Nice area out on porch to sit in with a morning coffee Very clean Staff were lush Easy access to Moalboal center and beach Waking distance to town center and short bike to beach Totally recommend the town park by the pier Off the radar tranquil unbelievable sea water view garden and community vibe Kudos to the community for keeping it real and not over touristy things Would love to live here Glory to God
Staff
O
Nice place to stay. The sort of place you could stay for a long time and feel at home. Fridge, a/c outside balcony, cold beer, breakfast looked good, didn't have it. Staff extremely friendly and very helpful. Arranged scooter rental. Just about everything you'd want from a place.
Nothing
so we checked out early than usual (8am) we asked if we could keep our luggage at the stock room so we can go to Kawasan (tour took us almost 6hours) all those time we were touring, they must’ve cleared/cleaned the room where we stayed in. myself and my other half came back to the hotel to return the rented scooter and to get our luggages. They’ve not mentioned that I’ve left my husband’s clothes in the wardrobe, not even a slightest hint. I wonder if it was intentional not to mention to us that we’ve forgotten our belongings with some still have the price tag attached. my other half ended up not having clothes for our next destination. I contacted them in anywhere possible and million times asking if its possible for them to send those clothes via LBC, I am willing to pay for any charges and trouble but there’s no response. lesson- smile and kindness aren’t always real as some may have a different intention; honesty goes a long way
Location perfect, you will need a scooter which they'll provide, nice rural ride to the beech ,really good breakfast friendly helpful staff, everything perfect.
Very helpful and friendly staff. We had a family room which was large and clean with comfy beds and a fridge.
Nothing specific but you do need to rent a scooter to get to beach where all restaurants and bars are.
Comfy room, helping staff, good price
outside od centre 15-20 minutes walking distance, far from the beach need transportation
Clean and big room, comfy bed, hot shower, fridge, balcony to enjoy breakfast with the mountain view, good WiFi, very nice staff and very quiet location. It's still a new hotel, so there's still some work in progress, but it won't affect your stay. You can also rent a scooter here. 100% recommended, and I'll come back if I'll stay in Moalboal again.
Nothing
Spacious room, shower with warm water, clean. Possible to rent a scooter directly from hotel for 350 P or 500 P from their partners.
I guess I should have googled better where the Moalboal center is and where the “touristy” areas with restaurants etc are, it ended up being pretty far away, which is not that bad if you have a scooter, but cant really drop in and out of hotel between beach and restaurant etc. We were unlucky with aome terrible roadworks the first day and next morning- they were drilling the concrete road from ~ 7am to 11pm, but that’s finished by now.

Great value for money and really friendly staff! Large comfortable room. Clean and all your basic needs. Breakfast was good and brought to our room. Location wasn't central but easy to walk or get a trike in and out.
Great room, large, with comfortable bed and quiet environment. We rented scouter directly from the accommodation. Has great European AC unit. Panagasama beach was a must go, with turtles and sardine run right when you enter the water.
Low wireless in the room so we stayed when we needed good wifi. Location is 800-900 meters from Moalboal and requires scuter or tri-cab in order to go to the beach.

Nothing
We loved the spacious room and bathroom. Free drinking water refill. Fridge in the room.
The shared kitchen needs some improvement.
