Casa D’ Hiyas Homestay Panglao, Bohol

Buena ubicación y disponen de motos para alquilar. Nos ayudaron a encontrar un transporte para ir al puerto.

La puerta no cierra bien y se pueden colar algunos bichos.

Nice rooms, have all the basics you need. Sweet quiet surroundings with free animals.

We had to wait for checking in since there was no answer in the number we got in the message from booking. We rented 3 rooms, in one of the there was a smell problem in the bathroom.

It’s 10 minutes away from alona just nice for a change of scenery

Amazing accommodation- can’t recommend enough! The room was clean & was a very good size. There was a sofa as well as a nice shared outdoor space with good seating. The A/C worked very well. The shower had hot water & great water pressure. Room was very clean. We had access to kettle & fridge & crockery. The homestay was a short scooter ride away from the main town, which worked well for us as it was nice & quiet. The staff were very friendly & helpful- helped us with scooter rental

Nothing!

chambre spacieuse et confortable

douche pas terrible pas d’espaces et peu de pression, nous avons eu un problème de transports et n’a pas voulu annuler ou décaler les dates

Rooms are immaculate and very well maintained. Air con worked a treat although was not always needed and the shower pressure/temp worked perfectly Tv and sofa to relax if needed but either way everything you need to make it a pleasant stay. Also rented a motorbike with the homestay so was very convenient to hop straight on as soon as I arrived. Staff very friendly and helpful and drinking water available at all times in reception Lovely little area surrounded by trees and locals which made me really feel at home. Would definitely recommend this stay as its also near the nicest beach in Panglao - Dumaluan Beach Plenty of local filipino restaurants available nearby as well as I prefer to eat local food and did not enjoy the tourist trap of Alona but still only a few minutes away if you prefer western food. Will definitely be staying here when I next return! 10/10

Nothing

Prima kamer en bedden, op loopafstand van het strand

Het is nog best een eindje naar het toeristische gedeelte, maar als je van rust houd zit je hier goed.

Very good location right near the beach and they have bikes to rent

We had music every night which was so loud and it kept us up. Nothing the property can do about this though and we are grateful that they gave us some money back due to the inconvenience

The place is quite big and there is a nice outdoor space for chilling.

The bathroom is a bit uncomfortable, the shower is too small.

We had a wonderful stay here and couldn’t recommend it more. From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel genuinely welcome. They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. They even allowed us to check in early, which made a huge difference after traveling. The customer service was exceptional throughout our stay — warm, attentive, and very thoughtful. It truly felt like staying with people who care about their guests rather than just running a business. The location in Panglao was great: peaceful but still convenient to reach everything we needed. One thing we especially appreciated was the airport drop-off they kindly arranged for us, which made our departure completely stress-free. The homestay itself has a cozy, homey atmosphere that gives you a real slice of the Philippine experience. If you’re looking for something authentic, welcoming, and personal rather than a generic hotel, this place is perfect. We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended.

The only small downside — and this is very common throughout the Philippines, so it’s not a criticism of this specific place — is that the shower and toilet share the same space with no separation. This means that when you shower, the entire bathroom floor (including around the toilet) gets wet. It’s simply the typical “wet bathroom” style you’ll find in many homes and guesthouses here, and once you get used to it, it’s part of the local experience.

The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with AC, everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent: a 20-minute walk to Dumaluan Beach, one of the best beaches in Panglao. But what truly set this place apart were the hosts. Warm, accommodating, and genuinely helpful: they arranged a motorbike rental (400 pesos/day), sorted a car for a day trip, and even drove us to Tagbilaran port at a fair price. That kind of hospitality is hard to find. I'll definitely be back.

La chambre est spacieuse et il y a de l’eau chaude.

Pas de rideaux occultant. Pas de réception avec personnel, seulement sur wathsapp

The hosts were super nice, accomadating and welcoming. The room was spacious and well furnished. Its good value for money, a bit cheaper and its a pearl:)

La chambre est spacieuse et propre

Malheureusement il y avait un cafard dans notre lit le premier soir c’était horrible. La salle de bain est très petite

Friendly staff & owners, quiet, local neighbourhood, walking distance to best beach on the island. Fantastic restaurant a short walk away, that was cheap friendly & great food. Completely away from the chaos of the tourist frenzy on Alona Beach. A beautiful & huge room that was spotless. A truly relaxing & comfortable stay.

La chambre très agréable et spacieuse la gentillesse du personnel

Des coqs des chiens comme partout du coup un peu bruyant la nuit

The staff were extremely helpful and communicative, the unit was clean, it was good value for the price and the location was pretty good (a little difficult for food -- some local food options, but not a lot within walking distance). We were able to effortlessly rent a scooter for a day from them at a great price and we recommend you do that to open up the food options. The staff also pre-booked a ride for us to the airport at 530am.

Unfortunately, we unknowingly booked the accommodations during a local festival that had extremely loud music playing from noon until 3am for 2 days straight. That said, the owners offered to take us to a "sister hotel" for 2 nights. They drove us there and back and the sister hotel was an upgrade -- it had a pool was very quiet but was also very isolated. There was no charge for the move and they were all very accommodating. We have discovered that we are very sensitive to the strong synthetic scents that are used all over the Philippines for air freshener or in the laundry -- it is hard to enjoy your vacation when your throat is raw and the scent is overpowering. The use of these scents to mask the scent of mildew in the humid climate is pervasive, not just this establishment, but colour the whole trip.

Nettes Personal. Relativ große und bequeme Zimmer.

Etwas laut durch Hunde und Hähne. Ziemlich abgelegen. Wenig los in der Umgebung.

Fantastic place, such great value for money. Near best beaches on the island, in a quiet neighbourhood, with restaurants in walking distance. Huge room and bathroom, outdoor seating, free water, peaceful environment and friendly staff & owners.

The resort is a peaceful hidden place very close (walking distance) to one of the most beautiful beaches (Dumaluan) but at the same time far from the Main Street. Quiet at night. Very clean and comfortable. The staff helped me in arranging transportation and motorbike rental. Highly recommended.

Super schöne Unterkunft, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, die Dusche ist Mega - sehr starker Wasserdruck (der beste den wir in 3 Wochen hatten), sehr hilfsbereites Personal, 2 min entfernt kann man einen Roller unkompliziert ausleihen.

Тихо, чисто, є все, що необхідно

Friendly and responsive staff, easy to hire a scooter through them, the location was around a 15 minute walk or 5 minutes by scooter to the best beach, Dumluan beach.

Nothing really, just beware that the road off of the main road upto the property is really rocky and would be quite difficult to ride up if you aren't experienced riding. Its also a drive away from any of the main food areas so you will need to rent a scooter.

We had a short but very pleasant stay at Casa D’ Hiyas Homestay Panglao, Bohol. The guesthouse is located a bit away from the busy tourist areas, near Dumaluan Beach, and is surrounded by nature and local life, which made the stay feel very authentic. Along the nearby main road, there are several restaurants and small local stores where you can buy snacks and water. Scooter rental is available on site, which is very convenient. The hosts were very friendly, always reachable, and helpful whenever possible. The room was well equipped, the bed was comfortable, and the area was generally quiet. Like in many parts of the Philippines, you can hear dogs and roosters during the day, but this did not bother us as we were usually out exploring. Dumaluan Beach can be reached in about three minutes by scooter or around ten minutes on foot. If you continue further, you reach more touristic areas with more traffic, more restaurants, and other services. Overall, this is a great location to explore Panglao and nearby attractions. It is especially suitable for travelers who prefer a quieter and more authentic stay while still being close to everything. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Nice big comfy bed, scooter rental available, staff very friendly, 5-10 minutes drive into the main area.

Nothing

Amazing stay. Squeaky clean, super quiet, very cozy with friendly hosts. Thank you.

Un piccolo resort con ingresso privato alla spiaggia. Stanza pulita e la proprietaria si assicura di fare le pulizie e cambiare le lenzuola anche per un soggiorno breve. Ci è piaciuta molto la tranquillità del posto e la disponibilità dell'host.

La spiaggia su cui si affaccia è piena di plastica, non bella per fare il bagno. E' un problema che riguarda tutto quel lato della costa sfortunatamente.

Chambre spacieuse et très propre, excellent rapport qualité prix! Personnel très sympa et pas embêtant

Rien

Amazing

Sve je bilo cisto i uredno. Kontakt s osobljem minimalan uzivo al su uvijek na raspolaganju.

Lokacija je malo dalje od centra mjesta a do rajskih plaza u blizini je teze doci jer su uz obalu luksuzni resorti koji ne daju pristup lokalnim cestama.

Very good, i really like it and extended

This property is extremely good value for money, the bed was comfortable, the TV was a smart TV which is always a bonus, kettle, fridge etc. It was also very clean and was cleaned during our stay to a good standard! The staff were helpful and helped us get a bike and transport to our next destination.

It can get quite loud in the morning with dogs barking but I guess that’s not the home stays fault. A hairdryer provided would have been great but not the end of the world. You will also need a bike to get to the main destination of panglao.

It was comfy and good size room. We could hire a bike

N/a

Our contact person, Marlex, was exceptionally approachable and always greeted us with a warm smile. He made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay, frequently checking if we had any questions or needed anything. The room was spacious, the air-conditioning worked perfectly, and there was even enough space at the back to hang our wet clothes. The water supply was excellent as well.

The location is quite far, so you’ll need to commute to reach the beach — the nearest one is Dumaluan. I highly recommend renting a motorcycle if you know how to drive, as the toktok fare is quite expensive. For example, they charge around Php 200 to get to Alona.

The accommodation has an excellent customer service and very accommodating staff. Also, the place is so clean. I'll definitely book Casa D' Hiyas again once I come back to Bohol.

Perfect place! I loved it ! Thanks for everything!!

The room was big, spacious, and really clean. The staff were also lovely, we also had a TV in the room with Netflix and YouTube. There is a fridge, you can hire mopeds and the rooms have aircon. We also had a balcony, and the location is roughly a 10 minute drive into the centre, so not too far.

Unfortunately for us the noise did become unbearable, we were being woken up at 3am every morning by all of the Cockerels, which wouldn’t stop screaming till about 6pm at night, and there were at least 10 surrounding the property, dogs are barking constantly throughout the day, and on our last night all we could hear was loud bass music until about 12am. Despite the hotel being so nice, the noise really did let us down and we tried to spend as much time away from the hotel as possible throughout the day as the noise does become extremely agitated and annoying.

Property was super nice and quiet and kept very well and clean

Just a bit annoying that the path that leads to the property it’s a very gravel-y road which can get very slippery and bumpy on a bike but nothing major

Friendly people, good location

Good facilities in the room and property. Lovely host Jennifer who gave us recommendations for restaurants nearby and organised a bike for us too!

There were animals which woke us up early but that seems to be the norm in the area!

The two bedroom suite upstairs is spacious and clean, clearly newly renovated. Free drinking water provided.

The description on booking is misleading; there is no separate bedroom and living space, it's just one room with a sofa right next to the bed next to the sink. The room we were shown on arrival, on the ground floor, had a strong mouldy humid smell, only one window at the front so absolutely no way to have daylight and any privacy at the same time, and no "kitchenette" (a kettle and some dishes at least) that we were expecting. So after a long conversation with the staff and the owner on the phone, we moved to one of the two upstairs suites which better matched what we expected when we booked, for an extra fee. It was the end of the year season so there was no way to find another vacant place that would meet our needs so we chose to stay. The location is honestly not good even if you have a scooter. It's at the end of a local access road and there are houses all around; it was loud and noisy all the time, either loud banging music, or karaoke, or dogs barking half the night, or kids crying, or pigs screaming, or chickens and roosters making whatever sound they make. The beds in the suite are 1,2 m; for two tall Europeans it's just incredibly uncomfortable. There was an electric cooker in the room that was clearly broken and a fire hazard, and cooking anything was an electric shock or two guaranteed; at the same time there's only one place with food within an easy walking distance on the main road. A tricycle to Alona was at least 100 php there and 200 back; a motorbike rental in the area is 450-500 so you'll need to budget for either. I would not stay there again.

The staff is phenomenal: they cleaned our room, made arrangements to rent us a motorbike, were attentive and even helped us with unforeseen events that we had, they are a 10. In addition, the location is ideal, as it is close to the tourist area (10 minutes by motorbike or tricycle), but also has the tranquility of being in a rural area. There is a small terrace very convenient for drying clothes and parking space, we were very comfortable.

The bathroom is very small and there is no separation between the toilet and the shower, which makes the bathroom easily flooded. The rest, wonderful. :)

accesroad to the property

Diana is amazing host, she helped us with everything. The place in the inside is comfortable and clean. It has everything that you need. It is much quieter than places by the Main Street.

The location is unknown to all drivers so you need to guide them.

The staff of the property was the best thing of the accommodation. They are 24h disponible for whatever you need

Nothing

Situated away from the noise, it is a place where you can relax and do your own thing. Spacious, clean and very comfortable accommodation.

It was clean and near in alona beach and airport. The staff is very nice and accommodating. It was a good place for remote worker just like me. I will definitely back here again.

Good bed and cheap scooter rent

There was cockroach in bathroom

We loved it so much we extended our stay! The hosts were so helpful organising motorbike hire and a taxi to the port. Lovely rooms and very comfortable beds

The place is great overall. Room is clean and cozy with lots of space. Marix, the host, is very friendly and supportive. He has a car and can drive us around. Location is good, in a more quiet area but not too far from the restaurant area.

Spacious. Clean. Comfortable bed. Private. Netflix TV. Well located. Jennifer was very friendly and helpful. She helped us rent a motorbike too. Free drinking water that can be refilled. Even though it’s close to the main road, it’s not noisy at all in the night so we both slept really well.

Nothing

The Ate was a very nice person. It was easy to rent a motorbike via her. 400 Pesos a day for 125ccm and 450 Pesos for 155ccm. If we needed something we just messaged her and she replied quite fast. For example, when we needed new bed sheets or towels.

We had a really nice stay here! The room was wonderful and huge, with plenty of space to sit and eat inside. The bathroom was great and the shower was warm. The bed was very comfy too. The Homestay hosts were helpful and would communicate well through WhatsApp. The room felt very new and modern which was great.

The location itself is fine if you hire a scooter or car, but unfortunately there aren’t many restaurants, shops or attractions within walking distance. It didn’t cause us too many issues as we hired a Tuk Tuk, but if you don’t drive it could be a bit problematic.

Nice large room, very comfortable bed. Everything was quite new (built in 2020). Very helpful and friendly owners. They also offer laundry service, motorbike rental and transfers for reasonable prices.

The bathroom was on the small side without a separation between the shower and the toilet.

+ Very clean room when we arrived + Water provided + close to white beach + warm shower and good pressure

- bed sheets and bins changed once, but no other cleaning during our one week stay.

Location in the "jungle".

Staffs are very accommodating. Modern and brand new furnitures. Clean facilities. Very affordable

Rather cozy silent place, really village atmosphere. Good internet. About 15-20min walking from white beach

Really far to everything. Every restaurants, groceries and beach activities are on Alona. You better rent bike, if you choose this place. Unfortunately, we haven't driving licences, that's why we spent too much time and money to trips from hotel to Alona

We had a very nice stay here, the place is like a mini apartment with everything you need. Also loved to have a couch for a change! Place is new and clean and the owners are super friendly. Helped us arrange a scooter and answering our questions. Comfy beds and even Netflix on the tv. Wifi works great. Definitely recommend staying here!

Very welcoming people, very helpful if you need everything. The room was as the pictures. Very clean and very big, hot shower. The nearest restaurant «the flamming resto bar » was very good and cheap, we recommend  « boodle fight » for two. it is not so far from Alona Beach and the neighbour has a tricycle (150 pesos). Great people. We definitely recommend this place
