Skott's Comfy Lodge

Quiet, great service great location to beach

All was good no issues service 100% excelent

Excellent stay! The staff were very accommodating and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. The place was spotless, clean, and well-kept. We had a great experience and would happily recommend it to others.

We loved the bed, the cleanliness,, the Japanese toilet bowl, the garden, the clothes for hanging, the sunbed outside of the room, the Filipino breakfast, coffee , juice and English breakfast they provided every morning, , the free drinking water, the awesome ,helpful & cool staffs, the location is near to the beach and xiringuito resto bar & beach people, the comfortable space they provide for the guests. The white sandbar especially if its low tide. We enjoyed snorkeling too and got to see starfish and fishes. Loved it especially if the sea water is calm. Definitely recommend this accommodation. Thank you Virginia and your team!

There were seaweeds in the beach and maybe it's the season this May. However, we still enjoyed the beach especially if its high tide and sunny at 10am or 11am and see the crystal clear water. And during low tide, we can walk along the white sandbars. We experience also other beach places which made it more fun. There were Black crown Sea urchins near the corals or rocks and everybody needs to be cautious. Prepare goggles too to see clearly.

Breakfast and rooms

Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir von 3 auf 6 Nächte verlängert haben. Virginia war so freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie hat uns sogar bei der Anreise unterstützt. Das Zimmer ist wunderschön und sauber. Es liegt nicht direkt am Strand aber der Strand ist gut zu Fuß in ein 2 Minuten zu erreichen. Ich habe in den Rezessionen gelesen dass sich ein paar beschwert haben, dass das Zimmer nicht gereinigt wurde. Es ist kein Hotel sondern ein Zimmer und man kann sich alles ausreden, also gehe ich davon aus dass die schlechten Rezessionen daher kommen, dass die Gäste nicht gefragt haben! Der Strand ist schön, teilweise auch dreckig aber wir haben schon viel schlimmeres gesehen. Es gibt einen Beach Club in dem man sich einen Liegestuhl mieten kann, aber da haben wir uns persönlich nicht wohl gefühlt. Man kann auch ganz einfach mit dem Trycicle in den Ort fahren und zum anderen Strand gehen. Einfach zur Straße rauf und die Hand heben wenn ein leeres Trycicle kommt. In dieser Unterkunft und Umgebung ist es ruhig aber man ist eben auch schnell im Ort bei den Restaurants und Bars.

Bei der Unterkunft selber gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. An diesem Strand ist die Auswahl zum Essen gehen begrenzt und im Vergleich zur restlichen Insel teurer.

Staff was approachable and kind. The owner was nice and kind. The place was good to stay and we felt safety living there in 2 nights.

Very clean and well maintained property. They made the most of the space. Bed was comfortable, bathroom had hot and cold shower, and toilet with bidet. Very friendly and good service too!

There was quite a lot of mosquitos. Would suggest to do some pest control before a guest checks in .

The location is convenient, there is a good restaurant nearby, and beach access is easily accessible. We also appreciated the complimentary breakfast, although the selection was a bit limited.

The lighting in the room where we stayed could be improved, as it felt a bit dim. In the toilet area, water tends to collect outside the shower space because there is no proper floor drain, which can flood the bathroom floor.

L’accueil est chaleureux et efficace. La chambre est hyper propre et tout est pensé pour un merveilleux séjour.

Absolument rien!

WOW, a very nice place next to the beach. Very friendly staff, great bar next to it, just 5 Min. drive to the center.

Exceptional Stay – Truly Unforgettable Experience From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was outstanding. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A very special thanks to Mrs. Virginia Skott, who was exceptionally warm and thoughtful throughout our stay. She continuously checked on us to ensure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed — her care truly made a difference. The room was impeccably clean, beautifully arranged, and fully equipped with everything one could ask for. The bed was extremely comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the bathroom was spotless and complete in every detail. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and prepared with great care. Since I started using Booking.com, this has genuinely been my best experience ever. I felt not just like a guest, but like part of a family. I highly recommend this place and would gladly return again.

Nothing bad everything was perfect

Ansonsten gutes WC, sehr gute Better. Fernseher kein Auslandsender. Air condition funktionierte sehr gut und war sehr leise. Schöne Pflanzen in der Anlage.

Bei einem Zimmer ragte die Steckdose aus der Wand. Klein-Möbel billig und unstabil. Frühstück etwas langweilig wenn 7 Tage da ist. Es gab nie einen Wechsel!

Surprises me how wide is the room and very comfortable for its price. We chatted with the staff and always have a very warm laughs everytime we meet. The place is quiet and peaceful. As the property has three rooms only, the staff is full on attending to our needs as if we have a butler.

Could have stayed a little bit longer

Everything is polished and clean. We enjoyed the privacy, serenity, cleanliness, and staff's friendliness and helpfulness. The coffee is fantastic!

Das Guesthouse ist klein, gemütlich und familiär. Jimmy und Lisa waren goldig und sehr hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück wird auf der Zimmerterasse serviert. Die Lage ist ruhig und nur wenige Schritte zum Strand.

Es war etwas schwierig, die Unterkunft zu finden. Um zu essen muss man ca. 20 Minuten ins Zentrum laufen. Die Zimmer wurden nicht gereinigt, obwohl man das gemäss Information der Inhaberin hätte haben können und ich das auch so gewünscht habe.

We enjoyed this small, beautiful, intimate lodge. The rooms were spacious, absolutely clean, no evidence of ants which are everywhere in the islands. Bathroom ultra modern, air conditioning was heavenly. Our biggest surprise was although I read online that there was a shared cooking area ...I was pleased to see it was a four burner stove with oven! We home cooked almost every meal which is what my kids who traveled to meet us want to do so they can try American food. We even had access to a charcoal grill. We absolutely felt at home and wish we had more time to spend at this location. Beach access was just steps away. A lovely beach restaurant about 500 yards down the beach. Bicycles for rent next door. But the catch to all of this is it was quiet! secluded! Not in the middle of the hubbub. We made one trip to a market and got frozen and fresh meat, poultry and seafood, some canned and packaged items and fresh produce and we had enough refrigerator and freezer space to handle a weeks worth of food for 7. Mrs. Virginia and her staff were absolutely accommodating and always inquiring if we needed anything. I like to think we are low maintenance but other cultures don't necessarily see us the way we see ourselves....but I genuinely believe that we will be welcomed back!! We look forward to returning in 2026!

I can not say I disliked anything.

Of all the stays i had in philippines (9 in total), this was the cleanest one (including the bathroom). Breakfast was basic but good (some more options would be nice - not just rice or bread to the egg). Bed is comfy. Enough storage space for stuff. Everything was working. Shower is hot and enough pressure. Refrigerator. Helpful staff. The split aircon is silent and doesnt smell (i had a lot of dirty smelly aircon in my philippines stays...) nice garden. close to a nice beach. Drinking water station to refill from. Extension cable with several power connections available. TV has HDMI (if you wonder where to switch the input -> the barely visible buttons on the back right) Tips: rent a motorbike at one of the rentals (will be a little bit cheaper then let the hotel organize it). Noone cares on the island, if you have no license. you can visit all the islands attractions freely then. It was a lot of fun to drive around the island with several stops here and there. Everything is much cheaper in one of the other towns of the island - Santa Fe has tourist pricing.

I did like the stay, this is mainly list of things where the hotel could improve, so it would be a 9 or 10/10: When its raining, there is a big 15cm deep puddle on the access road, which covers the whole width of the road. The etablisments that are using this road should come together to fix the issue. Manpower is cheap in philippines. The table in the room is not comfortable to work on laptop. My shoulder started hurting. A small ergonomical 1 Person working space inside would be nice. Mosqitoes outside in breakfast area. A spray will help and the mounted fan also helps a bit. When they are cleaning the room, they seem to let door open, always had 1 or 2 mosqitoes inside the room after cleaning. There is some space on one of the walls. A small kitchen work space with some storage and some equipment to prepare cold meals would be very nice. The door of entrance and bathroom is not well insulated, you can see light through and the noise from the neigbours comes through. It also decreases effectiveness of the aircon. There are some cheap solutions to fix that, and increase comfyness of the stay. Water pressure might be lacking, when someone else uses it too.

Super clean, great helping smiling staff, lovely garden, spacious room we were 3 members, great mattress, enough furniture to put luggage’s away, nice breakfast - 5 ⭐️ guest house

Everything! Great host, good breakfast, perfect spot, nice people around :)

The exterior of the property is beautifully and thoughtfully landscaped. It feels like a little oasis! Jaime keeps all of the beautiful plants looking fabulous! The rooms were super clean, spacious and comfy. The outdoor covered patio was a wonderful peaceful place for coffee and breakfast.

Nothing.

Skott's is a boutique accommodation in the quiet part of Santa Fe. The accommodation is only a couple minutes walk to one can argue to be one of the best beach in Santa Fe. Uncrowded and clean. The accommodation exceeded my expectations with regards to room size and comfort, cleanliness and most of all the friendliness and accommodating staff. Special thanks to Liza & Jimmy who made us feel welcomed and goes out of their way to ensure our stay is very comfortable and relaxed. These two elevated our stay to a level that makes us want to return to Skott's Comfy Lodge.

There should be a door bell by the reception in case you arrive and the staff are busy in the other parts of the resort

Great hosts, always ready to help, and accommodate any reasonable request.

The breakfast was the same every day, and while it was very tasty, by the last day of the stay, it got a bit boring.

We had an exceptionally good and comfortable stay. Virginia and her staff were extremely friendly and helpful; the rooms are massive with super comfy beds; beautifully maintained gardens; inside and out were extremely clean; great and efficient laundry service and support in organising scooters / transfers / taxis; and all of this a 1 minute walk from a great and super quiet beach. Would absolutely recommend to friends. Great value for money.

Nothing

Our stay was really pleasant and the personnel are very accommodating. If you need laundry, they can do it for you. The beach is only a few steps from the hotel.

Maybe they can give the guest a foldable chair that they can bring at the beach since it's not a front beach. But it's not a must, only a recommendation. ☺️

With only three rooms, this place is quiet. 3 minute walk to beach. What a lovely place!

The interior,comfort,breakfast and the personnel.They are very accommodating and always attend to your request.The room and the toilet were spotlessly clean.

Fantastic modern facilties, spotless clean, quiet air con. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Leize

Nothing, but be aware you will need to travel short distance to get to shops and restaurants

Very quite and relaxing place to stay, the staff are a credit to the business

Great staff. Helpful. Very clean room and clean water.

TV didn't work when we got sick and wanted to stay in. Tour through hotel was bad. Driver tried to scam us by taking us on only two of the tourist spots instead of the 7 that we should have gone to. Only after complaining did the driver agree to take us to all the spots but he was tampo. Bathroom is way too small.

Location

No

The room is very spacious

Not enough Power outlet, actually there's no provision at all if you will use all the appliances they provide - Internet router, TV, Cable, Ref, electric kettle

Nice big and modern rooms.

Although the rooms are big, the bathroom is pretty small and everything gets wet from the shower. Also there's no shower gel / shampoo.

Had a wonderful four night stay at Skott’s. Lovely host and staff. Our room was large and really comfortable, with a nice sitting area/tv and an outside terrace. Wi-Fi was decent. If you don’t mind walking, it’s 10-15 mins to the ferry terminal, and 25 mins into Santa Fe. It you want to explore the island, a motorbike is a good idea. We got ours from the hostel next door (500 pesos/day).

A few mosquitoes but not too bad.

My wife and I booked into Skott’s Comfy Lodge from Dec 22nd to Jan 3rd. We liked it so much we have decided to stay an additional three weeks. If you like quiet, an exceptionally clean place, and welcoming staff, this is the place for you. Virginia (owner)has gone out of her way to make us feel comfortable and even invited us to partake in New Years celebrations with her family. The beach is a five minute walk and scooter rental can be arranged. The wifi is also exceptionally good as STARLINK has just been installed. Wifi speeds are now regularly over 120 Mps. This is a great place for both short or long term rentals if you are looking for a quiet place to chill away from the traffic and noise. We would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay and would not hesitate to return if we ever returned to Bantayan Island. Dan and Grace. Canada

Not much to complain about.

The owner and staff are wonderful. The bed is comfortable, your partner can move around, and you don't notice at all. Aircon is perfect, water is hot and plentiful. The entire place is very clean and keep up daily. The breakfast is very nice and is enjoyed on the covered front porch. The short walk to the beautiful beach also takes you past, and to, other resorts with multiple dining options. The location, which is a little hard to find at first, is close to the port and Santa Fe. The walls are solid concrete making is very quiet in the room. Many activities as close as next door. We went island hopping and really enjoyed lunch on the virgin island.

The only negative was the terrible Wi-Fi, but I do believe by the time this review is posted the Starlink will be installed to correct that issue. I sat next to the equipment boxes as I used my laptop in the office where the owner allowed me to hardwire connect to her internet.

The comfort, excellent staff, and Mrs. Virginia’s outstanding service surely contributed to a positive experience.

Nothing

Walkable to Santa Fe beach. Everything was new, with a large room, large bed, refrigerator and hair dryer were a plus! Staff accommodated request for early check-in asap.

The bathroom was a bit tight, considering I'm a small person. Once shower is turned on, water splashes directly toward the toilet even if I tried changing angles. The water pools, and you'll need to keep changing the floor mat if you're iffy about it. The ceiling light placements are weird. I wish the ceiling lights were warmer. Fluorescent lights just change the overall feel of the room and warmer lights could have helped made it comfier. The blanket was very thin (it's a matter of personal preference). I just prefer a thicker or weightier blanket for comfort with great air-conditioning 😅 Cigarette smoke gets inside the room despite the closed door and windows. Experienced this 2 days straight and this came from the room beside ours (and the smoker was on his veranda).

It's a very nice and clean place to stay in! The staff very very kind and helpful. Anna and Jerome are always there to help you whatever you ask them for. On a scale 1to10 I will give them 11! Thank you guys for everything! 🙏

Staff always helpful and beach is very nearby. Everything was very new.

This was a fantastic place to stay. It is close to both the beach and the town, and very peaceful. The room was spacious, quiet and clean — very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful

There was no breakfast, staff said that I didn't sign up for vip. So no breakfast I didn't know there was choices for vip and nip.

No parking, Location: nobody knows where the place was. We were asking the neighbors the tricycle drivers nobody know where it was. We were driving around til later, we finally found the little tiny sign of Skott's lodge..

super clean. friendly staff. quite
