Niets
Er waren muizen, er lag muizenpoep op de vloer en in ons bed. De airco werkte niet goed en maakte veel geluid. We hebben niet kunnen slapen door de muizen. Er liepen mieren in ons bed. Het was vies
Good for the price
Muy bien internet
Cosas rotas, sabanas remendadas, sin ventanas sino unos ventiluces contra el techo, etc
It’s in the city center. Very clean. They provide toilets amenities and free drinking water. Breakfast were good, always with some local fruits. Staff very nice
In total we booked 2 rooms and in both the air condition was very loud, but we slept with fun on only.
The 1st room was fine. Just a lot of stairs. I'm 70 with a fused ankle so no elevators. They saw I was struggling so the switched us to a 2nd floor room. We thought that was nice of them to do. The first night in that room we discovered a very bright light in our hallway right in front of our window and the thin curtains didn't stop much light coming in the room.
We liked everything else! Staff was great and caring! Location was 1/2 a block from beach. Next door was a tour company we used for 2 tours. Group met right outside of our hotel and boarded the boats right from the dock there. Breakfast was also good and free!
The staff was really friendly and welcoming
Shower was boiling hot water, so we used a bucket there and diluted with water from the sink.
Központban egy kis utcában helyezkedik el.
Nagyon pici volt a szoba.
Çalışanlar
Oda çok ufak sıcak su yeterli değil
Super Lage, sehr hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal und alles sauber. Die Zimmer sind für den Preis jedoch sehr klein.
There was a nice bright foyer sitting area outside my room on the 2nd floor. It was quiet at night. The air conditioner and fan worked well, not too noisy. Plenty of hot water for the shower. Wifi was good. Friendly staff.
Worst breakfast ever! Pathetic, actually. No outside window to open. Basically a bare cubicle. Chaotically busy street traffic all around—but I know this is normal for Philippines.
L'établissement est dans une rue calme, proche des rues animées de restaurants, bars, etc...
Pas de wifi, en panne, rétabli après deux jours de négociation.
Es ist direkt in El nido Stadt, also sehr zentral gelegen. Es gibt Wasser und Kaffee in der Lobby. Personal war super lieb, leider nur ein junges Mädchen, komplett übermüdet.
Badezimmer ist zu klein, der Duschvorhand ist sehr ekelhaft und klebt am Körper beim duschen, weil kein Platz ist. Das Bad steht nach dem duschen komplett unter Wasser. Die Toiletten stinken unfassbar. Das Essen ist ehrlich gesagt eine Frechheit, es wäre viel schlauer garnichts zu geben als diese Menge (zwei Scheiben Toast, kleine Banane und ein Ei, keine Butter, kein Salz, nichts). Mein Partner hat eine Öl Unverträglichkeit deshalb haben wir gekochte Eier angefragt, uns wurde nur mitgeteilt, dass es dann kein Brot oder etwas anderes dazu geben wird. Das Ei kam bereits offen an, unsere Eier haben gestunken und waren vergammelt. Wir teilten es dem Personal mit, daraufhin wurde uns gesagt ‚wir können es morgen nochmal versuchen‘. Als wir mitteilten, dass wir nun auschecken wurden sie sauer und haben nichts mehr mit uns gesprochen. Die Steckdosen sind unmöglich, man steckt etwas an es fliegt im selben Moment wieder raus. Es wird in einem Land wie hier nicht viel erwartet, aber auf Zwang und Druck versuchen so viel Geld wie möglich zu machen ist ekelhaft. Wir hatten auf diesem Urlaub insgesamt 7 Unterkünfte. Die anderen haben es doch auch hinbekommen. Ich gebe ungern schlechte Bewertungen aber das ist schon gesundheitsgefährdend.
Toutes commodités proches, à l ecart du bruit. Personnel tres gentil.
Chambre tres petite, climatisation tres bruyante. Petite visite de 2 cafards dans la nuit.
Super limpa e bonitinha! Funcionários simpáticos e prontos para ajudar sempre
Ar condicionado infelizmente bem barulhento
Hôtel situé dans une petite rue du calme à 5m du centre d’El Nido, le personnel de l’hôtel est adorable et chaleureux L’hôtel est tres propre
Very close to the pedestrian zone of El Nido, but still located in a relatively quiet side street. Ample space to park rented motorcycles. Cheap and passable breakfast at 150 PHP.
Rooms are a bit cramped with limited circulation and ACs which may need to have their filters replaced.
Super Clean and staff are really nice
N/A
Die Lage war gut und das Personal war freundlich.
Das Zimmer war sehr klein. Es gab keine Ablagemöglichkeiten. Mit den Koffern am Boden konnte man sich kaum bewegen. Wenn man die Dusche benutzte war das ganze Bad unter Wasser gestanden. Das Frühstück wurde kalt und abgepackt vor das Zimmer auf den Tisch gestellt.
Les chambres sont propres, dans le centre mais au calme, le personnel est très sympathique, petit dej inclus.
It was on a quiet street, which was important to me. The two staff were very nice, but their English was not great, which seems to be unusual for tourist-facing services in The Philippines. But they were friendly and made an effort to help me when necessary. The breakfast was very simple - at first, I was disappointed, but then I grew to like it and to look forward to it. The A/C worked well, although you could not choose a temperature to keep it at, and it was very loud.
The internet over WiFi was of terrible quality. It was more often dead than alive, but at least there was a connection _some_ of the time. My booking said I would get a mountain view, but the only window faced directly into a window of the neighboring building, so I had to keep the curtains shut.
Staff helped us with our bags. Breakfast was included. Quiet part of town but still minutes away from everything.
Shower was really bad. No power and not warm
Location
No internet facility, ac was so loud it seemed we are at the construction site and had to switch off to sleep. The shower head stopped working the next day.
Posizione
Bagno non funzionante il lavandino e non molto pulito
Zentrale Lage
Winziges Zimmer, rundum Lärm und laute Musik die halbe Nacht, aus der Dusche kam kaum Wasser.
La ubicación Calidad precio esta bien
El chico de la recepción, fue un poco borde cuando llegamos 30 minutos antes de la hora de check in. Entra un desayuno pero esta hecho en otro lado y viene con fil. Tambien en el momento cuando pregunte por el desayuno, el chico fue bastante borde
It was a nice stay, close to town and friendly staff!
Looks more like a hostel, but breakfast was ok, and view was good
마실물과 커피가 있고 위치도 좋고 그리 깨끗한편이고 낡지 않았다ㆍ
원래 6인기준이지만 실수로 인원숫자표기를 5로 해서 1사람의 아침식사 비용을 추가로 지불했다ㆍ 그리고.방크기는 아주 작고 더블 베드가 작아 둘이 사용하기가 매우 작아 매트를 바닥에 깔고 잠을 잤다ㆍ 가격은 주변의 큰방보다 엄청 비싼편입니다ㆍ
Nothing.
Absolutly not serious owner.At arrival they gave us a completly different room from what I booked...instead of so called mountain view they gave a very small camera with window facing another people window from across building. With serenity the girl in charge told us that our room is occupied now with another turists and I can cancel booking if I want.Air con very noisy...roosters singing around..it was for me the worst stay in my life.
The room looked like the photos on Booking.com however it needed a new coating of paint as it looks a bit dirty on the walls - being picky here.
We booked this hotel for a room to stay in the night before our flight. The check-in process was quite strange — there was no one at the front desk, and a random person from outside ended up shouting upstairs for us. Eventually, she took us to our room, which felt a bit unprofessional. Due to circumstances outside the hotel’s control, the power was out. A generator ran all night, there was no air-conditioning, and we had a terrible sleep. The power outage also meant very low water pressure and no hot water so we opted not to shower here. When checking out, we noticed the times listed online were incorrect. It stated check-out was between 12 p.m. and midnight, which definitely needs updating. I even messaged beforehand and was told check-out was at 12 p.m., yet we were woken up at 9 a.m. and told it was actually 11 a.m. Overall, it wasn’t the best stay and we didn’t sleep well, but the room was clean and the staff were friendly enough.
Good basic stay. Small but clean. Great location and good price.
Not sure staff were expecting us but accommodated us anyway. Window in our room was 1m opposite the next house and directly looking into someone's living room so always had to have the curtains shut.
Very friendly staff, away from loud bars but a short walk to the main street. The scooter rental is in front of the hotel
The AC is so loud
La ubicación.
Todo, el lugar huele a popó ! Y el servicio al cliente es lo peor que me ha tocado en toda la vida que he viajado. El chico que trabaja allí es arrogante y no te soluciona absolutamente nada a parte de que es grosero y no le interesa lo que pase en el lugar. El nido tiene mejores opciones de alojamiento, mi recomendación es que busquen otra opción antes de meterse a este pésimo lugar.
The place is few walks away from restaurants and beach/port of elnido and also near some activities like canopy walk.
We are not able to use the shower,maybe there’s a hot and cold shower in our room but maybe we just don’t know how to use it 😅
Leur accueil et leur gentillesse. Ils répondent tellement gentiment à nos demandes.
Les coqs alentours le matin..mais il y en a partout
Great location close to all the shops, restaurants and beach whilst being just far enough away from the hustle and bustle (few min walk). Really friendly staff with Isobel, Gilbert and Joberlyn who were a joy to talk with. Good en suite. Air con worked well and also had a fan, hot showers and clean room. The terrace was cute and helpful to dry out our wet swimming gear. Wasn’t an issue that it wasn’t directly attached to our bedroom. Great value for money.
Nothing we didn’t like.
Top Lage, sehr freundliches Personal und Getränkespender.
The location was pretty convenient
They say it had breakfast included we arrive and ask about it and they say it was wrong.
L’emplacement
La chambre n’a jamais été faite en quatre jours, la chambre est très petite
Molto pulita e vicina al centro
Muy bien ubicado, tiene espacios comunes cómodos, agua y café.
La habitación es muy pequeña y calurosa. La persona de la recepción no hablaba inglés. Cierran el hostal por la noche a las 12, aunque nosotros pedimos que fuera más tarde y nos permitieron volver a las 1.30. En todo caso, no se puede pedir más por ese precio, es un hostal barato y cumple su función.
I booked a room, they told me I have to cancel and I will get my money back. Still haven’t got my money back…
Friendly staff, good location and price, free coffee
There was no window as opposed to what was shown on pictures, almost no wifi connection, low water pressure, small bugs in the bed.
location
lack of windows, the smell in the bathroom, fan not very efficient
Clean
Very small rooms, and it was perceived as bigger in the photos in bookings.com
Lovely staff. Good location. The street is low traffic and calm yet it’s close to where you’ll be going. Great value.
The hotel is close to the centre of town but on a quiet side street. Staff are friendly. Is basic, but it is the same as most places in El Nido. Was fine for one night.
The room we were put in smelt, and the bathroom had not been cleaned. We asked to be moved to another room, which they did without an issue. The other room was fine but the towels were a bit old and also covered us in bits. Not exactly what you need after a long travel day.
Great location and staff very helpful. Room was clean, good A/C and warm shower.
Wifi was unusable as it was so slow (could not even load webpages etc.) breakfast was small (1 fried egg, 1 small pancake and a slice of fruit).
The property is in the perfect location! It was only less than a minute walk to the laundry service, and there are several mini stores nearby. It was only a ~5 minute walk to the beach and all the restaurants and bars. We could not recommend the staff (Patricia) enough, as she had gone beyond service to help resolve the issues we encountered during our stay, and also assisted us on our last day, when we had food poisoning from a nearby restaurant. My mother and my brother stayed in a twin room, which did not have a toilet seat to begin with, and unfortunately and unexpectedly, the air-conditioning unit broke on our 2nd night of stay, hence, my mother and my brother had to sleep in a very hot room with their door opened to somewhat endure the heat (it was the peak of summer in the Philippines). Due to the timing of Easter holiday/ Lenten week season, it took a day before the air-conditioning unit and the toilet seat were repaired. Despite this misfortunes, Patricia was very helpful, and she made sure to keep us up-to-date with the progress of contacting the repair men. It was commendable that at the peak of holiday, she was the only staff member working, and attending to our needs (from facilitating check-in, preparing breakfast, tidying up rooms, and communicating with the host, etc.).
-Value for money (it is known that El Nido is an expensive destination) compared to the facilities in the property -The shower area is very narrow -Installing shelves and more hooks can be an improvement for the property - The Wifi was immensely slow
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Mariella in El Nido! The rooms and beds were very comfortable, with air conditioning and hot water for showers — a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. It’s just a quick 10-minute walk to the beach and close to all the great restaurants and shops. Patricia, our host, was excellent — so attentive and welcoming, providing outstanding hospitality throughout our stay. I give Casa Mariella 5 stars and a perfect 10 rating. Highly recommend!
All good 👍
Nice place,nice view while having your breakfast.Close to ammenities,friendly people..
Poor internet....
Clean rooms and near to everything. Breakfast was good. Easy to rent a bike from hotel.
Its just within the heart of the town but on the quite street area, which means you can still sleep peacefully at night. The caretaker is very accommodating also.
None
great location and great value for money. the water in the shower does stay warm for a long time and you do get daily housekeeping which is nice too. air con works good. we rented a bike from the property for 3 days and the bikes are in great condition. it’s a pretty quiet area, there’s 24/7 reception and they also always try to keep the property clean. there is breakfast available but we’re both vegan so didn’t try it out. you’ll find the property under “vip hostel” on google maps as it doesn’t come up.
we were in the mountain view room and in the room description it says it includes a terrace so i was expecting one with the room but there’s not, it’s just one terrace for all of the rooms which is quite misleading. the room also doesn’t have a kettle like listed. the rooms are very small, and the bathroom is kind of awkward to use. it is very bright at night as the curtains are very thin and the window looks out onto the main road, even though it’s not a busy road there’s still businesses and people there so we had the curtain shut basically the whole time. there’s also no water available there apart from one small bottle you get upon check in. we also booked tour d with the hotel to be told it couldn’t run due to weather conditions so we asked to do it the day after but if not they said tour A was running instead. we ended up doing tour A instead and paying 1900 pesos each, plus the 300 kayak fee. after looking at other tour companies that advertise i think that’s a bit expensive, we never said anything but i’d maybe just think about asking around others first as i think we got ripped off. plus we were told they were coming to pick us up between 8:30-9 and but it was actually at 8 so we weren’t ready at all.
i think this was one of the comfiest beds i've ever slept on. super clean and great location
the wifi barely worked, i was mostly using my data
Clean, good location, nice staff and good air on.
The wifi was very poor and some plug sockets were not working properly.
Great location— quiet side street but just a short walk to all the shops. Breakfast on the roof top with a nice view of the cliffs. They also let me hang my wet swimsuits on the rooftop clothes line. Rooms have both AC and fan. Friendly staff. Make sure to tell drivers “VIP Hostel” because no one knows the name Casa Mariella— our tour driver was a half hour late because he could t find it.
Small rooms. Water pressure depended on the room. Some rooms are a bit bright at night because of big windows and thin curtains. Breakfast was simple but nice, but there’s no choice of breakfast, it’s whatever they serve (ours was usually eggs with pancake or toast).
Tried to make a cancellation but blocked my calls
Good location. On a quiet street but just a few minutes’ walk to all the shops, beach, etc. Breakfast is very simple but decent, served on the rooftop with a view of the cliffs. Friendly staff who can help with tours, laundry, etc.
Water pressure was not great, but enough for a shower. Room was pretty small but the AC worked well. Thin curtains so our first room got bright early and woke me up— would’ve liked black-out curtains. We changed rooms and the second had only a small window so it wasn’t so bright.
location, staff cleaning , everything
Very clean property. Very good if you are not looking for luxury and you are out all day any way! The staff is veeery very helpful
Very central location. Close to everything on foot (street food courts, restaurants, boats departures, shops...), yet still quiet without any noise at night. Very nice team, Patricia helped us organise our tours, our vans to Puerto Princesa and answered the questions we had. She let us stay on the rooftop with our friends that were staying in other hostels which was also very convenient. Good WiFi in the building. Breakfast on the rooftop with cliff view. Rooms and common areas are very clean.
Hot water system in the room was a bit confusing. On Maps / with your drivers you'll find it under VIP Hostel. Lots of stairs (3-4 floors) to access breakfast so be careful if you are in poor health or have any injury.
Nice guesthouse in the middle of el Nido. Good room, good bed, very clean and friendly employers. Breakfast simple and nice. Did my laundry so well. Everything washed, was so clean, in one day and at reasonable costs.
Nothing
Manager very helpful
The girl in the reception was really nice and helped us to find a taxi/tuk tuk. Also, at the beginning there wasn't hot water so she called a plumper.
The bedroom and bathroom were small, we didn't have too much space. The shower is together with the toilet, there isn't any separation in between, excepting for a curtain, so after a shower everything was wet.
Good for one night
Cheap fourniture in room
Breakfast was tasty, well fried egg with a nice pancake, and some seasonal fruits. The balcony view was really beautiful, and made me want to wake up early to eat there everyday. The staff, especially Patricia, were so attentive, polite and thoughtful. She addressed all our needs and went above and beyond, providing extra beddings
The rooms are a little small, but we didn’t plan on spending much time in the room, and the balcony makes up for it. A smaller room cools down quicker with AC anyway
Good location. Reasonable price
Small room8
The location is great, just few minutes walk to beach but quiet at night. The roof top view is amazing.
The room is quite small, the facilities not maintained well, the door of toilet is can't close completely, the breakfast was pre- cooked and everyday was same. As per the room size and facilities, the room price was higher.
