Roca's Homestay Backpackers Chalet

Excellent hosts - Celine was super helpful! Wifi ok, enough space in hut for 1 person, fan and mossie net provided, seating area for socialising, close to Batuan for shops and food. A moped is necessary if you're going to stay here. There is a bus but for 'freedom' I suggest renting a moped. The hostel has one. I'd stay again.

All good.

I absolutely loved staying here in the mountains. Maybe my favorite place I’ve stayed so far on my trip because it was so peaceful. A short motorbike ride from the Chocolate Hills, and close enough to waterfalls. It was really accessible via Ceres bus (drops you off in the town nearby on the way from Ubay, goes right in front of the house going towards Panglao). I was only going to stay a night but extended. Seline was the best and most welcoming host ever! I stayed in the single hut and the dorm. Both are basic but good. The bathroom was basic with a handheld hose and island style toilet - you just add water to it to flush, which is no big deal at all, this is a more authentic experience for the Philippines. I was the only person in the dorm. The garden is gorgeous and there are chickens roaming around. They have bikes for rent and you need one to explore. Not kidding it was probably one of the best days of my life exploring 3 different waterfalls (Pangas, dam-agen, and another nearby), the chocolate hills, getting food from a Carnideria, then chilling in the hammock with my book after, not having to deal with staying in a crowded tourist place or taking a tourist crowded van. With the price of the accommodation so affordable the price of the motorbike (500) m balances out. I would come back no doubt!

It was nicer than I expected based on the pics on booking.

Very nice and clean Place immensed in the nature Very simply but with exceptional price

Nothing

One of my favorite places in Phillipines - thanks so much Celine!

Nice cozy place to stay around chocolate hills

Basic hostel, quiet place, very comfortable bed, cheapest place i stayed. Good value for money. Beautiful setting and clean, i recommend it to any budget travellers

Place near waterfall and chocolate hills, good for 1 night. Humble but according to the price. Manager is nice and helpful. Mosquito net. The place is acceptable.

Can be extremely noisy in the night due to the roosters around, they start singing the first night at 1 am. Second night was better cos it was raining so they didn't. Also 5 km away from town to buy food or drinks.

Basic facilities for a basic price

Power completely went out for 2hrs and owners were not responsive. Room was very warm even with fan on. Shower was cold & water pressure was non existent.

Goedkope optie in Batuan, wat verder van de doorgaande route, een. Leuke avondwandeling naar de ondergaande zon

Het eten aan de overkant is erg matig, en er klopt niet veel van de ingevulde faciliteiten (fietsverhuur, massage etc), maar wifi is er wel!

There is no breakfast

A plethora of mosquitoes

I stayed two nights in the treehouse and was a nice change from staying in the towns. Lovely and peaceful place with friendly staff. It is 5km from town so is best if you have a bike which I did.

Nothing really…. Only cold showers but that is normal in these hot countries and was not a problem.

Good for an over night stay to stop over -going the chocolate hills then back to Panglao . Simple room , you got what you paid for . Bed is big enough for the couple, usual foam bed couple of pillows , beddings are clean . They offered cup of coffee and egg sandwiches for breakfast is a bonus.

Not sure where music /karaoke in the morning coming from def not from the property. Ear plugs helped .

Staff were very welcoming, the rooms are clean and nice. Nature and suroundings are amazing. U get a free towel, shampoo and even a small breakfast with coffee which i enjoyed very much. The hammocs all over the place to chill

I travel solo 1,5months and that was my most enjoyable place to stay

Nice little place to stay for a few days while exploring the area. I liked the hospitality of Celine. She was very friendly and welcoming and fun to talk to.

comfortable place in nature. free water. quiet. rustic.

no toilet paper.

Great location and breakfast was nice! Staff very lovely

Bathroom was a bit dirty

The small huts are basic but really cozy, you have everything you need! And the staff is super friendly and welcoming. All in all a good place to visit the Chocolate Hills and the surroundings with nice people.

Good to stay one night, the hut is very simple but convenient, has a fan and a couple of electric outlets. They gave free coffee and bananas for breakfast. The staff was friendly.

A small hut, two people will struggle to be comfortable.

The cottage is cute and it was an interesting experience. We spent only one night here because we wanted to see other areas in Bohol, but the place is perfect if you want to relax after the chocolate hills or the tarsier sanctuary.

The air conditioning in the cottage is extremely loud, but it was impossible for me to sleep without it because of the temperature. So, bring ear plugs!

Very nice place. Super nice and friendly people. Make sure to ask about the sunrise and sunset mountains. They are both about 15 min away on foot and the views are great!

The rooms are very small - just the size of the bed;)

The people working there is just amazing! They always try to help you with everything and make you feel like home. The hostel is in a really quite area 5 minuts away by bike from Batuan.

The private chalet is so cute and perfect! This place is very relaxing. A must stay if in the area!

It was really nice outside of the property. Good concept with the open walls

Really good value for the money, the owners are lovely and helpful, we did a little hike for sunset too

Lovely family Great spot Quiet and comfortable place

Nothing

The hosts were the absolute nicest people! 10 out of 10 recommend!

The hostel was very quaint, comfortable and clean. Originally booked for one night and had to extend for an extra night as we really enjoyed it! Tita looked after us very well and ensured we were treated like family! Thanks so much!

I was alone in the dorm, comfy futons. Nice to have breakfast ready

I had an invasion of ants at 4am in my bed.

I would recommend this place, lovely people.super friendly and helpful. The area was so clean and fresh.

Big breakfast, in the middle of nature, friendly staff, veg buffet at neighbours

WiFi, room size

So cute! Amazing hospitality, they made me breakfast daily & invited me over to their families house for dinner! Very caring and trustworthy people!

Nothing! Could not recommend this place more will certainly be back

The place cute snd staff so friendly
