Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Lino. Accueil très chaleureux, nous avons apprécié discuter avec Lino et sa femme pendant les repas. Nous nous sentions comme à la maison. La chambre est simple mais le nécessaire est là. Possibilité de louer un scooter.
The room was clean, tidy and spacious, there was a kettle available in the room, and a bathroom with hot water. The host was very friendly and nice. Breakfast was tasty – we could organise it as take-away.
Super vriendelijke ontvangen en goed ontbijt al was niet alles van het menu voorradig. De warme douche met extra waterpomp dus genoeg waterdruk.
Locatie is aan de doorgaande weg dat is wat lawaaiig maar niet mega erg. De laatste ochtend stroom storing, kunnen zij verder niks aan doen. Kamer is wel klein kan bijna niet om het bed lopen en de deur van de badkamer raakt net de wc pot niet, zo klein is het.
Service and locations are the highlights of our stay. It's close to some of Bohol's attractions such as Chocolate Hills, ATV, Tarsier Sunctuary. Mr.Lino (Owner) and Michelle were extremely accommodating and such an amazing host. The owner will guide and give you advise or two on how to enjoy your time better in Bohol , very much helpful. Resaturant /Coffee lounge just down the accommodation serves good food and better coffee around the area.
The accommodation are for traveller's who spends their days touring around Bohol, as staying in the room will not be that enjoyable since the property has no tv and no pool, it's not made for that. So it's best for real travellers who's main goal is only to sleep.
Le meilleur rapport qualité/prix de tous les hôtels que nous avons fait au phillipines ! Le personnel est tres sympathique. Possibilité de louer un scooter sur place. Le lit est tres confortable et la chambre est tres propre.
Il manquait un miroir dans la salle de bain ou dans la chambre, mais vraiment c'est le seul point négatif que je pourrais dire !
Vse super,majitel velmi mily a skvele jidlo.
-Sehr leckeres Frühstück -Lino war super freundlich und hilfsbereit -Lage zu den chocolate Hills unschlagbar - warmes Wasser
Sehr nette Gastgeberfamilie. Tolles Frühstück. Lino bietet einen Rollerverleih und Tipps für Ausflüge an. Sehr herzliche und nette Gespräche, haben uns total wohl gefühlt!
Comfy bed Friendly owner
Ideální ubytování pro výlety. Majitel se vším pomohl,velice milý člověk. Zajistil řidiče na výlety. Nejlepší kavárna ne celém ostrově.
Koupelna velmi malá, kanálek za dveřmi před wc. Voda byla všude. V noci buď štěkali psi nebo kohouti kokrkali. Ale to nikdo neovlivní :-)
Аккуратный отель с радушным владельцем. Номера чистые, хоть и немного тесноватые. Завтрак небольшой, но вполне достаточный. На первом этаже довольно большая столовая/гостиная. На втором этаже в общей зоне стоят диваны - вполне можно отдохнуть вне номера. Владелец определённо знает толк в кофе и готовит, пожалуй, лучший кофе на Филиппинах! Одно из главных достоинств отеля - его расположение. Месторасположение универсально для изучения всего острова. 5 минут езды от официальной смотровой площадки на Шоколадные холмы. Примерно столько же - до другой, неофициальной и бесплатной (Chocolate Hills - Free Viewpoint). Отсюда, в целом, удобно стартовать в любую точку острова: что до Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary, что парка Алисия, что до н.п. Лобок, что моря. Хороших продуктовых магазинов, как и ресторанов, рядом не наблюдается, но магазины есть в городке Кармен в 10 минутах езды. А хороший ресторан мы нашли в 20 минутах езды - Forest Garden Restaurants. Наверняка хорошие рестораны есть поближе, но мы их не нашли. Особенно хочется поблагодарить семью владельцев и главу семьи - искренне добрые и радушные люди, как и большинство филиппинцев. Вас очень приятно вспоминать, записывая этот отзыв. Спасибо вам большое, и удачи вашей семье!
Amazing owners, so friendly and helpful!! The hotel is new, room is small but very clean and confortable. Good breakfast. Good location.
The host is amazing we felt like home. The food is delicious.
If you are tall the room is a little too small.
Výborné snídaně. Možnost si doplnit vodu. Možnost se velmi dobře najíst i mimo snídani. Půjčení skútrů. Fén na pokoji. Teplá voda a dobrý tlak vody. Milí majitelé.
I had a great stay at ZL Travelers Inn. The owner is very accommodating and makes you feel welcome right away. The place is clean and well maintained, which made the stay comfortable. The breakfast served was really good and a nice way to start the day. The location is also very convenient, just about 5 minutes away from the Chocolate Hills. I would definitely recommend this place to travelers who want a relaxing stay with easy access to nearby attractions.
La gentillesse de Lino et ses bons conseils pour visiter les environs. La proximité de l'arrêt de bus et du centre.
L'exiguïté de la chambre et le bruit de la rue.
Il proprietario LINO e sua moglie sono stati gentilissimi, ci hanno accolti meravigliosamente, e fornito molte informazioni sulle attività da fare in zona. La colazione era ottima, la struttura accogliente e ben tenuta e la stanza pulita.
Buen desayuno, los dueños son una familia superamable. La estancia fue genial!
The owner and his wife were exceptionally friendly and very helpful. The breakfast were excellent, and the dinners and lunches in the cafe were even better. I have been to the Philippines multiple times and this is probably my favorite place to eat. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning worked great. The water had excellent pressure.
I wish the table in the room was slightly larger.
Todo perfecto. También cenamos en el hotel y genial. A 2k de chocolate hills
La gentillesse de Lino est ces conseils
La chambre un peu petite mais vu le prix !
Love zing and leno. !!!! Miss them already
Right on road. Traffic. But. All hotels. Same. There
Proximité aéroport c’était pratique Le petit dej
La Clim extrêmement bruyante la nuit
We came in soaking wet from the rain. The host helped us kindly with a drying rack and an electric fan to dry our clothes overnight. People who work here are so kind and helpful!
Les propriétaire sont très sympathiques, ils nous ont donnés de nombreuses recommandations pour des activités dans la région. La chambre était conforme à la description et confortable. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour.
Rien
Literie confortable. La gentillesse de l’hôte et sa disponibilité pour répondre à nos besoins. Lino nous a même cuisiné un repas lorsque nous sommes arrivés alors que la cuisine était fermée.
Établissement pas évident à trouver et sur un axe passant donc assez bruyant la nuit. Marches d’escalier très grandes et hautes. Un peu de poussière dans la chambre. Et pas à l’aise dans la salle de bain assez petite (prendre une douche = arroser les WC et la porte + prise électrique présente juste au dessus de la douche pas très rassurante)
Położenie bardzo dobre, blisko Chocolate hills, super właściciel- bardzo dobra baza wypadowa
Mały pokoik i brak części do relaksu w hotelu - tarasu chociażby
L’établissement est extrêmement bien situé et l’accueil a été exceptionnel. La chambre pour quatre est très bien équipée avec deux grands lits doubles. Le restaurant au rez de chaussé est vraiment excellent et très peu cher ce qui est un gros point positif étant donné le peu de restaurants dans le coin. De plus, le choix de petit déjeuner est très grand, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Notre hôte a également été de très bon conseil pour la suite de notre séjour. Merci beaucoup à eux .
Vraiment rien à dire, c’était parfait.
Der Gastgeber hat alles gegeben um es uns so gut wie möglich zu gestalten. Frühstück war sehr sehr gut wir haben auch einmal Abend gegessen und das war auch sehr lecker.
To był niesamowicie miły pobyt. Mieliśmy trudność, by znaleźć odpowiedni nocleg w okolicy, ale ten okazał się strzałem w dziesiątkę. Najlepszą częścią byli gospodarze, którzy od pierwszego dnia byli ogromnie pomocni i troszczyli się o nas. Uwzględnili moja specjalną prośbę, chociaż nie była łatwa do spełnienia. Doradzili nam w zwiedzaniu wyspy, pomogli zorganizować transport oraz służyli radą, gdy warunki podróży były trudniejsze ze względu na tajfun. W kilka minut mogliśmy wypożyczyć skutery na miejscu, co pozwoliło nam jeszcze lepiej zwiedzić wyspę. Łóżka były bardzo wygodne, mieliśmy dostęp do wody pitniej, czajnika, kawy, w łazience były szczoteczki i pasta do zębów. Kawiarnia na dole miała bardzo przyjemny klimat i dobre jedzenie.
Pokój nie był duży, ale był całkowicie wystarczający. Odpływ w łazience był po drugiej stronie od prysznica, dlatego w łazience było dużo wody.
Einfach aber alles was man braucht. Super netter Gastgeber, hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und Tipps gegeben. Super nahe an den Chocolate Hills (wenn man einen Scooter hat).
Everything was Great
From the moment I arrived at ZL Traveler’s Inn Name], I felt completely at home. The inn itself is charming, spotless, and full of character, but what truly made my stay unforgettable was the host. Sir Lino, is an absolute gem — warm, welcoming, and incredibly thoughtful.

Very nice staff end good breakfast
Instead of a quick jump at Bohol we stayed over night. We could not select better place for our stay! Great owner that gave us a lot od tips! Amazing breakfast!
The place is really clean and of good quality. Its just a five minutes drive from the Chocolate Hills. The host, captain Lino, is just the best! Always checking how you are doing, helping and giving tips on what to do. I believe his prayer even stopped the rain and gave us the sunshine we craved. You can also eat here for a good price.
Literally nothing :)
Clean, comfortable, excellent staff Highly recommend!!
Everything was good
The restaurant downstairs was nice.
We had a room without a window. And there was no lounge area either inside or outside where we could relax with daylight. The owner leaves the cafe staff in charge which makes it very difficult to make arrangements, such as bike hire.
The owner Lino and his wife are very positive with a personal approach, unusually friendly for the Philippines. Not far from the accommodation are the Chocolate Hills and Pangas Falls, with a little willpower also accessible on foot. The rooms are small but very clean, on the ground floor there is a cafe with a restaurant where you can eat and have a good coffee.
The room was really nice and cozy. The inn is really well situated near the chocolate hills. The shower pressure was really good for Filipino standard. A huge thank you to Lino, the owner, who is very kind. He helped us book activities and made us feel like we were at home. The breakfast was really good and the citrus cafe a must try. The dishes were really tasty and the passion fruit smoothie a must try. Maraming salamat for the stay. 😊
Good location for exploring one day the Chocolate Hills area. Very friendly and helpful owner. We could rent a scooter (very good condition) for good money. Downstairs is a coffee/restaurant of the owner. Delicious breakfast (we had the banana toasts) Nearby a lot of restaurants/coffees (some are new and not shown on google maps) Good AC The shower is close to the toilet like in a lot facilities so don’t forget to bring your flip flops
The location is fine as long as you're willing to rent a motorbike or have a driver ready to take you places. - The area where the hostel is located is quite quiet and ideal for sleeping and taking a good rest.
The owner is not a trustworthy person. He pulled the classic trick of setting a price and then doubling it with poor and changeable excuses, leaving us in a helpless situation. Do not trust him. - At the restaurant, they always "forget" to apply the 10% discount offered by Booking, and you have to insist. - Sometimes, they overcharge you at the restaurant, even with the supposed discount already applied. I sent a message to the owner about this, and he simply ignored it. - The breakfast is too oily, though that's a personal opinion. - It's almost impossible to contact the owner. He is never at the hostel and he ignores WhatsApp messages. - The shower has only two settings: boiling hot or cold. - They don't clean your room during your stay. - Because of the last one, it's not hard for the trash bin to get infested with ants if you threw away some leftovers.
Well we liked the hospitality from the owner/proprieter as he made us feel special & very comfortable
We enjoyed everything & there was nothing we didn’ like,
Great stay, very close to the main attractions and even they can rent you a scooter which it was in great conditions
new room and property friendly owner downstairs cafe

ZL Inn: A Perfect Blend of Hospitality and Comfort Staying at ZL Inn was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The owners go above and beyond to ensure every guest’s experience is unforgettable. They are incredibly hands-on, kind, and attentive, making our stay truly exceptional. Cleanliness at ZL Inn is beyond impeccable—if there were a rating above 100%, they’d deserve it! Every corner of the inn was spotless, reflecting the care and attention they put into their establishment. Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. The owners themselves prepared it, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the perfectly brewed coffee to the delicious homemade dishes, every meal was a testament to their dedication and love for what they do. Their café on the ground floor deserves a special mention as well. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and made with the finest ingredients. It’s clear that the same level of care put into the inn extends to their café. If you’re looking for a place where hospitality is at its best, cleanliness is unmatched, and food is top-notch, ZL Inn is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Clean new airco room close to chocolate hills. Korean dining downstairs.

The location is okay just beside the main road. We booked last minute since we were just with motorbike scrolling to the countryside part of Bohol. The owner is so friendly and give us some idea of places to go. Breakfast was delicious, they have a bar resto so convenient too
Our stay here was so perfect we extended it to 4 nights. Clean and functioning room, extremely comfortable bed, most amazing and included breakfast (signature egg toast), very helpful and kind host + family. We felt very safe and welcomed at any given time. The scooter we were able to rent was the great and very much new. The area is so gorgeous and varied. If you want to visit the chocolate hills, some rice terraces, waterfalls and the mountains and aren't afraid to drive the motorbike - this is the place for you!

Good place to stay while exploring chocolate hills. Staffs were very nice and accommodating. Easy to find and close to the market. Room was just right.
Noisy neighbor but because there was a funeral.
Nice clean, comfortable rooms. Great restaurant. Helpful staff, the owner, Lino, is great. Hot shower, cold Aircon. 10/10👍
To sum up our stay ... beautiful. the breakfast was included (cooked by the host and always tasted flavourful). To add to this it was a perfect location for the Chocolate Hills and the waterfalls. Under the hotel is a restaurant which serves great food but there are also good restaurants close by at a decent price. Lastly our host was nothing but accommodating, he helped us with the moped as well as getting to our next location - nothing was too much of an ask.

The owner was friendly and hands on with everything. He even recommend some good places to visit. Room was clean and nice. They have cafe downstairs and food was delicious. Most recommended place to stay.
Free delicious breakfast. Friendly and kind owners
Very good value for money, exceptional service, very good location. Cleanliness is perfect..Indeed....highly recommended.
None.
The building is new and everything was clean. The owner is a really nice guy, the cafe offers good coffee and a variety of meals. There is also a scooter for rent.
The toilet is next to the shower which can be a little bit inconvenient, but it's ok.
The owner was amazing!!
Definitely would recommend staying here. Great value for money if you are looking for a good stop off in Carmen. Lino, the owner, is really friendly and helpful if you are looking for things to do. The breakfast was good and the cafe also serves good dinners.
The room was clean but there were a few ants in the bathroom. It's on a main road so can get a bit loud.
Let's start with the owner - Leno (owner) was absolutely LOVELY. He was so warm and welcoming. He also arranged flowers and decorated the room for my partner's birthday. He has a cat at the property called Citrous Meow who is the pest control officer and wears a little badge - so cute. The location was perfect for the chocolate hills and we found places to eat and drink nearby. The breakfast was delicious - highly recommend the cinnamon toast with banana and Nutella. Leno's place is exceptional value for money and he's such a lovely guy who is just starting out with his accomodation - you should absolutely stay here if you want to go to chocolate hills - ask Leno about the free viewing from the top of mother hill.
The room could have done with some smaller lights next to the bed, the main lights were a bit bright. There was no TV in the room but this didn't really bother us as we were only staying one night. The bed didn't have a duvet, just a sheet - again this didn't bother us too much but worth noting.
Our stay in Lino’s place was just awesome from the beginning till the end. Our room was clean and comfortable. All the natural beauties are close to hotel. The host was so kind, he gave us many recommendation for trips and in the end he even managed to spend whole day driving us around. We enjoyed our stay so much. Delicious brekfest ( I recommend the egg toast 🤭) The second day we did find out that they also cook! We got a dinner and it was so far the best food in Philipines :) Higly recommended!
Breakfast and food were nice. The hosts/owners were very kind and friendly. We had a great stay - thank you!
We had a wonderful stay here , the owners are very kind and welcoming. It's a great place to spend the night when visiting the Chocolate Hills on Bohol
It was a small apartment. We had breakfast but it was basically just toast bread prepared by the owner. The owner drove us to see the chocolate hills and other attractions. Also there are one or two cheap restaurants nearby (one is in the same building as the apartments).
Our apartment had ants. The bathroom was really small.
Clean room, cozy, nice breakfast
The town was a bit dead, only two restaurants
The owners are lovely. The made sure every detail was taken care off. The place is super clean and it's only a few months old. Perfect location to explore the Chocolate Hills Free coffee and tea and water and the included breakfast is tasty. Recommend! Wishing you all the best
New building, clean room
Nothing
Staff very friendly and attentive. Always happy to help.
A few ants in the room but it's a tropical country. What can you expect. I've had worse wildlife in my room.
We had a wonderful stay at ZL Travellers Inn. The place is only a few months old so everything is very new, clean and tidy. Hot showers and comfy beds. It was perfect for our 3 night stay to explore Carmen and surrounding areas. They served us a different breakfast each morning, which was lovely Bonus: the cafe below serves wonderful food and drinks! Would 100% recommend. 5⭐️

Clean and good breakfast. The owner is nice and helpful.
The water pressure was very low
Very nice, new room! Batuan is close to chocolate hills, tarsier reservation or Pangas waterfalls. The owner is very nice and helpful! He arranged us also tuk tuk for the trip. There is also small restaurant and the food was very good. Absolutely recommend :-)
The accommodation is a perfect stopover for the Chocolate Hils and its surroundings. The room itself and the furnishings are solid, but what stands out most is the warmth of the owners/staff. Nice and courteous people.
It's easier to find if you navigate directly via GMaps instead of the booking address
Very clean and new rooms, don’t be put off by the lack of reviews as this place is simply very new. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, helping us above and beyond to sort things like breakfast, laundry nearby etc.
Nada
Clean room, toilet amenities provided, hot water, Aircon working, boiler with coffee in the room.
There is no place around there to rent motorbikes therefore you can move around only with tricycles which are more expensive. Unfortunately the owner wasn't there during our stay (we met him at check out, very friendly man) and the staff was not prepared to help tourists with usual questions.
It was super clean, comfy beds, fresh linen and very friendly staff
It was all good ☺️
very good experience staying here
