Elvira's Homestay

Best part: Elvira and Alex are warm, welcoming and extremely forthcoming! Thanks for everything 🫶 The whole place is well maintained and such a calm little paradise. Although it can get quite noisy due to nature and the animals, but that’s no surprise and comes with the more local experience :)

¿¡Qué no?! Imposible escoger lo mejor....Si el paraíso existe, debe parecerse a Elvira's. Desde su calidez y joyfulness a las comodidades que te pone para todo: me vinieron a buscar al aeropuerto, me llevaron a sacar dinero y comprar una SIM. Todo por solo 200 pesos. Además, Elvira me llevó y recogió de Alona for free y me dejó su bicicleta. Disponen de motos para alquilarles, pero como no sé llevarla, me consiguieron habal habal (moto con conductor) para un día entero súper económico que me llevó a todos los sitios de Bohol que le pedí. Las excursiones a Virgin Island... también salen más a cuenta con ellos porqué incluyen el pick up y tal. Elvira es un amor, con la típica ternura filipina, y Era, la perra, me robó el corazón. El lugar es paradisíaco: tu casita (hay 4) con tu balcón súper bien acondicionado, con tus utensilios para comer...Puedes usar la cocina y dejar cosas en la nevera. Las tumbonas, el jardín, la súper hamacaaaaa!!! Todo súper bien cuidado 🥰 La playa que hay justo detrás, Momo beach, la local, es infinitamente más bonita que la de Alona, y el snorkel es espectacular con miles de estrellas de mar y peces tropicales. Además, son divers, así que si quieres scuba, ya sabes!!!! Salamat po, Elvira!!! 💕

This place is truly magical with all the bamboo set-ups and Elvira’s wonderful hospitality!!! Everything works well and I had a short but lovely stay here. Just look for the sign that says Elvira’s Homestay by the main road!

Nothing really

Elvira is the nicest hostess I have ever met. She was all the time ready to help The place is full of nature and very quiet

I loved my stay here. These little huts are so cute and this place is so green. Elvira is such a lovely and kind person and I appreciate all the nice chats and her help with everything. It's definitely away from the crowds so it's best to hire a motorbike which you can directly from Elvira. Thank you so much.

Everything! I loved the little cabanas/room felt like I had a room and a private semi outdoor living room, so cute and really cheap. Only had a fan but that was perfect for the nights. Everything was clean and they have a beautiful giant garden so lots of space to walk and sit down. There is even a little kitchen area with free drinking water and the wifi works well. Super peaceful. The hosts are also amazing, super nice and sweet. Offered delicious breakfast (extra fee but really cheap). And they even let me borrow their bicycle (for free) for the 4-5 days I was there to get to my Freediving course because I can drive a motorbike!

The only thing, and really only thing is the bathroom are shared and a little far from the cabanas.

I loved everything about this place. It was my favorite stay in the Philippinesw it was stunning, quiet, had all we needed, it was clean. Elvira and Alex were amazing. They went out of their way to make us feel incredibly welcome. I have no words for the way they treated us. I was so sad to leave. That place made me love Bohol even more. The place is so affordable and everything you buy at the little bar on the property is incredibly affordable also. You can certainly see they are not trying at all to take advantage of people. They are really the most amazing hosts and you will have a great time there.

Mein Aufenthalt bei Elvira und Alex im Februar war unvergesslich. Ich verbrachte sechs wundervolle Tage in ihrem Bamboo und fühlte mich vom ersten Moment an herzlich willkommen. Mit ihrer außergewöhnlichen Gastfreundschaft und Aufmerksamkeit haben sie dafür gesorgt, dass es mir an nichts gefehlt hat und ich mich rundum wohlgefühlt habe.

La beauté de l'endroit, les bungalows très bien construits et agréables. La gentillesse de nos hôtes.il a plu et Elvira nous a trouvé une voiture familiale très bon marché à la place de nos scooter.

On aurait préféré rester un peu plus

Nice property, quite, relaxing, not crowded.

Elvira and Alex are The BEST.

Absolutamente todo! No podíamos haber elegido mejor sitio donde quedarnos. Principalmente el cariño con el que Elvira y Alex nos trataron, no podíamos haber estado mejor Estábamos tan bien que prolongamos la estancia. Nos hicieron sentir como de la familia desde el segundo 1, ayudándonos en cualquier cosa que necesitáramos, con consejos y cuidándonos, y siempre con una preciosa sonrisa en la cara! Las cabañas están perfectas, el espacio natural es precioso y relajante, las zonas comunes amplias y comodísimas (con cafés, bebidas disponibles etc) y el desayuno riquísimo cocinado por la misma Elvira. En serio, han sido unos días maravillosos. La zona es tranquila y apartada del bullicio (que es lo que yo buscaba) pero está cerca de absolutamente todo lo que busques/quieras, y con motos disponibles para alquilar con ellos mismos. En resumen, todo de 10!! Recomendadisimo y ojalá volver pronto a ese paraíso .Gracias Elvira y Alex!! Un abrazo enorme.

L'accueil très chaleureux d'Elvira et son aide pour nous trouver des chauffeurs.

L'eau froide seulement pour la douche dommage

Very kind and helpful owner. Good breakfast (ordered in the homestay), cosy cottage

La gentillesse de l hôte, la cabane qui est hyper cool, le cadre qui est top

Wer philippinische Gastfreundschaft und Herzlichkeit kennen lernen möchte ,muss hierher kommen. Die kleinen Bambushütten sind einfach eingerichtet, aber gemütlich. Die Veranda davor mit Blick in den schönen Garten, ist perfekt, um sich auszuruhen. Es gibt eine kleine Küche mit Kühlschrank und Kochplatten, die genutzt werden kann. Elvira ist so ein herzlicher und lieber Mensch. Ich habe mich von Anfang an sehr willkommen und wohl gefühlt.

Elvira e Alex sono stati super carini con noi! Il giorno che siamo arrivati ci hanno dato un motorino. É fondamentale per girare l’isola. La mattina successiva dovevamo prendere il traghetto per Oslob e ci hanno accompagnato attraverso una scorciatoia alla spiaggia. Peccato che siamo rimasti solo un giorno

Einmal liebevoll gestaltete Anlage und zauberhafte, supergemütliche Bambushütten. Wunderbare Gastgeber - ganz besondere Menschen: superfreundlich, engagiert und immer erreichbar, helfen sehr bei allen Bedürfnissen.

Es gab kein Warmwasser. Aber es störte mich als "Erfrorene" gar nicht, weil es so warm in den Philippenen ist und das Wasser nicht wirklich kalt war. Sogar ich hilt eine nicht warme Dusche gut aus. Ich komme SICHER wieder. :-)

Il giardino

I bungalows sono bellissimi ma necessiterebbero di un telo al soffitto perché non cada continuamente sfarinatura di legno sul letto

Elvira and Alex are just outstanding supportive hosts. Love those cosy little huts with their gorgeous veranda.

Welcomed and feel like your home. The environment is so refreshing

Cr is far from the room.

A simpatia da Elvira, sempre disponível para ajudar e de sorriso aberto. A localização do terreno, entre a natureza, e com um jardim bem cuidado é perfeita. Ótimo para relaxar ou para alugar uma scooter e conhecer Bohol e Panglao

Nada a referir. A acomodação é um bungalow basico mas está bem mantido, e com uma relação qualidade-preço imbatível.

Bungalows ouverts aux quatre vents ( il pleuvait) et infesté de fourmis. Matelas ou drap non nettoyé ( sable ou insectes?? )

As solo traveller it ticked all my boxes, private and spacious hut, WiFi, fan and easy access to facilities etc. Overall a really relaxed, laid back environment. Elvira and Alex were so welcoming and attentive, they’ve thought of everything you may need to make your island stay easy including bike / car rental, it is a fanatic set up! You are short stroll to Bil-isan beach and a quick bike ride into the Panglao town for more dining / shop options. Bonus - Alex, Elvira and staff are divers and are certified in PADI intro courses etc. Unfortunately I ran out of time there but it is an option worth asking about if that is your goal in Panglao!

L'ambiance détendu, tranquille dans un décor tropical.Et le service amical des hôtes.

Elvira and Alex was so friendly. Nice people with amazing heart. The place is amazing. They even helped us to rent a scooter, by which we went to chocolate hills and Tarsier conservatory. Would definitely stay there if we visit again.

Toilet is little bit far from the room we stay.

①オーナーのおもてなし。 ②緑豊かな庭園と雰囲気。 ③竹製の極めてシンプルでスタイリッシュなバンガロー。 ④モモビーチまで徒歩15分。

①周辺に何もない（Uber Food を使えばむしろメリットになる） ②お湯が使えない（価格を考えると仕方ない） ③バンガローは隙間が多く、虫も音も入るので、人によっては不快かもしれない。（しかし凄く良い経験になると思う）

Elvira und Alex sind absolute top Gastgeber!!! Sie sind immer erreichbar, absolut herzlich und zu 200% hilfsbereit.

Mrs. Elvira was so accommodating, even gave us free food, one of us were sick and she made sure to give some herbal aid. She let us extend without paying. The place is so nice and very relaxing. There was no ac but it was still cold at night.

Thank you very much Elvira for your kindness with all our family ! We deeply enjoyed our stay in your Homestay !

We arrived at Elvira and Alex’s little paradise and felt welcome from the very first moment. Both are incredibly charming, open-minded, and warm-hearted people. It’s clear that they have fulfilled their dream, and sharing it with others makes them even happier. We were invited to use the outdoor kitchen and even their washing machines—an incredibly helpful gesture, especially for those traveling on a budget or long-term. They also provided great recommendations for local spots and even arranged our scuba dives. Everything at Elvira’s homestay is thoughtfully managed in a sustainable way, considering the entire life cycle. Staying here was truly a pleasure, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, calm, and peaceful place to stay. Thank you!

Elvira and Alex are super welcoming and helpful ! They gave us great advice, the place is super nice to stay ! We recommend it !

nice quite simple and beautiful, highly recommend it if you want to chill in Panglao.

the location is amazing, very quite and surrounded by nature. the small wooden house was very beautiful and super nice to chill, you need a motorbike to reach different places and they rent it in their place. elvira and alex were amazing and very welcoming! highly recommended

We had the most amazing stay at Elvira’s! Upon arrival we were immediately greeted with kindness and excellent hospitality. The room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable. While there is no air conditioning we slept very comfortably in the night with a fan on. Elvira and Alex were super helpful in giving us recommendations and allowing us to borrow their snorkel equipment to check out some cool spots. Elvira also offers a freshly cooked breakfast in the morning for 150₽ and we rented scooters from them as well for 300₽. Overall, Elvira’s Homestay is an incredible place to relax and enjoy the peaceful nature. We loved our stay and would highly recommend to others!!

During my stay at Elvira's Homestay, I found an absolute gem of a peaceful accommodation. Nestled away from the bustling city noise, this homestay offers a serene and quiet environment that instantly helps you unwind and relax. The location is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the typical urban chaos. Elvira herself is the true highlight of this homestay. She is an incredibly warm, kind, and helpful host who goes above and beyond to ensure her guests feel comfortable and welcomed. Whenever I needed assistance or advice, Elvira was always ready to help, making me feel like I was staying with a caring friend rather than just a host. The atmosphere of the homestay is calm and inviting. The quiet surroundings allow for perfect relaxation, whether you're a traveler looking to rest after a long day of exploring or someone seeking a peaceful workspace. Every corner of the homestay exudes a sense of tranquility and comfort. I wholeheartedly recommend Elvira's Homestay to anyone looking for a peaceful, welcoming, and reliable accommodation. It's more than just a place to stay – it's a home away from home.

Elvira was so warm and caring for our family. The breakfast was great. The grounds are full of flowers and plants, lovingly designed and trying to preserve the originality and simplicity of the country. All our wishes were fulfilled, even a quick trip somewhere (because we couldn't go on motorbikes with our daughters) was no problem. We hope that you can continue to run your homestay as a family business for a long time and that you can remain as small, original, peaceful home in Panglao! Thank you very much

as we were travelling with children, we would have liked to sleep with mosquito nets

The staff was very friendly and helpful with my questions and even provided a solution for something I needed to do. Also very kind after we checked-out. I would definately stay here again. The room itself is small, but it's compensated with a "living-room" half indoors half outdoors, which is interesting to experience.

The bathroom was very clean and spacious, but the fact that is located out of the room makes it a little umcofortable if it's raining, because you have to step on the grass and stones to reach it. Fortunately it didn't rain during our short stay, but I think that a better walking path to the bathroom could be very convenient for future guests.

Elvira and Alex belong to the most kind and helpful hosts we've ever encountered! They made our lifes not only as easy as possible (motorcycle rent, delicious brekfast and a ride to the port to name only a few), but are always up for a chat and a laugh at the bar. Keep your spirit up guys, we will certainly be coming back and visit again!

This little Paradise is so far our favorite ❤️ Everything in the place is made with love and care.The generosity of Elvira and Alex is endless..We felt like home I’ll the time,Elvira give us food and presents all the time .What I will remember forever is her smile 😊 She told us : even if you do not like something,just smile! The incredible things of traveling is that you meet people with such a big heart ❤️ and you never forget! Hope to meet again dearest Elvira! God bless you and you family 🙏

Cute, clean, and the owners Elvira and Alex went above and beyond! Was able to borrow Elvira’s motorbike to explore the island, and even got an early morning lift to our ferry. Amazing people and such a lovely stay. Thank you po!

The only downside was the bugs, of course expected in an open-air hut and nothing bug spray and a broom couldnt fix.

our stay in this establishment was great, elvira is a very smiling person, attentive to all our needs, very good advice on site, scooter rental possible on site, the landscape is wonderful, very clean and well maintained. I recommend to all

It’s an great experience and the hosts are very friendly and welcoming

As you can expect it’s in the nature so there are some mosquitoes and you can’t regulate the shower water temperature (or at least i didn’t see it)

At the beginning the host was very friendly. Then after 1 or 2 days, she started to say things which were a little bit offensive (e.g. how old are you as I didnt understand something in the kitchen). On the last morning, she told me I am the most complicated customer she ever had because I changed 2 times my plans. I can understand that this was unconvenient but I think there is no need to talk to me like that. I also perceived her as intrusive after 1 - 2 days, which was making me feel uncomfortable.

The hosts are very friendly, I booked the room just 2 hours before I arrived. They showed me the facilities and the shortcut to the beach, which was very handy as I was traveling at 5AM the next morning. This is a good stay overnight

no hot water in the shower, and also the plastic mattress was not quite comfy. The room is really really tiny, cute though

Elvera and Alex were excellent hosts. Sandy beach was just a few minutes walking, fantastic snorkeling. Clean room and bathroom block. If I said all the things that they did, then everyone would expect that. Just to say they went out of their way to welcome me. Great value for Small pesos.

Although Elvera will supply breakfast for a small amount, bring food if you haven't got transport. It's 3 km from Panglao town.

Elvira and Alex were very kind and welcoming hosts. We loved the calm environment, location was perfect for us.

The perfect place to switch off! A quiet little paradies. The beds are super comfortable and the bamboo huts have everything you need (inkl. fan, table etc). The shared bathroom is very clean an comfortable. Small bar with some cold and hot drinks to buy for a reasonable (cheap) price and a fully equipped clean outdoor kitchen. If you want to avoind the tourist-crowded Alona Beach, Momo Beach is the right place to stay! But the best is the warmth of the wonderful hosts, who really enjoy having guests....and you feel it. Thank you Elvira and Alex! Hope to see you again! 😊

Elvira and Alex are adorable and caring hosts. We were only there for one night but we really felt welcome and at home. I can truly recommend this place. It’s beautiful and calming. Elvira prepared us breakfast at 5am in the morning because we had to catch a ferry very early. The even drove us to the ferry so early. We will definitely come back and stay for longer.

Everything was above our expectations.
