MIOKI HOMETEL

The owner was really kind and ready to satisfy every needs

L’accueil de notre hôte qui s’est même levé à 4h du matin pour vérifier que notre taxi était à l’heure. Je recommande ce logement place à côté d’un petit restaurant dans le village de Batuan au pied des chocolates hills et à mi chemin de tout( tarsier loboc river rizières du pilar) authentique et très agréable on s’est senti comme à la maison ! Location de scooter sur place bref parfait

Great host! Nice and comfortable room. Clean and big common spaces. Garden included!

La proprietaire vraiment super toujours prete a vous aider On est tombez en panne de scooter ellz a etais chercher quelqu un pour nous depanner

Rustige ligging in leuk dorpje dichtbij de chocolate mountains. Diverse zitjes beneden en boven. Koud en warm water beschikbaar. Koffie en thee beschikbaar. Vriendelijke gastvrouw. Mogelijkheid tot het huren van een scooter.

Geen shuttle mogelijkheden vanaf de haven (transport kan met tricycle of bus). Terug naar de haven kon de gastvrouw wel wat regelen, maar zijn wij met de bus gegaan. Steile trap naar kleine accommodatie boven. Kleine kamer met zeer kleine badkamer. Zeer minimale straal koud water uit de douche. Geen ontbijt beschikbaar. Beschikbaar servies is niet erg hygiënisch.

Bien placé dans les terres, a proximité des Chocolates Hills. C’est propre, la propriétaire est très gentille. Café à disposition le matin. Les petits bungalows sont très jolis

L'accueil formidable, a dame s'est occupée de nous elle était très attentionnée La localisation top pour les chocolate hill a 5 min de scooter le coin est tranquille Possibilité de se faire à manger merci

Nice location among the paddy fields just outside the town.

Everything was fine & up to expectations.

La zona es tranquila, a 6min de chocolate hills. Tienes muchos puntos de interés no muy lejos de ahí.

Está lejos del puerto y del aeropuerto. Algún que otro ruido por la noche. El baño no es el mejor de todos y tiene agua fria.

We loved the room. High ceilings, storage space, mosquito net, good working and quiet fan and the option to use AC. We also loved the patio outside. We would sit there at night to play cards and have a beer. We also loved the owner. Super sweet woman who helped us with our laundry and renting a motorbike. Both super affordable and quickly arranged. The hotel is located in a local area. Expect to need a motorbike to visit restaurants or places. Its a perfect location to go visit all the main attractions at Bohol.

The room is not very noise-proof. At the first morning we woke up by loud music from a neighbor. He shut it down after I walked down and told him to. The owner of the hotel was so very sorry about this and also had a talk with him later that day. So yeah its not the hotel’s fault. Also a lot of roosters and motorbikes. Also not the hotel’s fault. Just to let you know to bring good earplugs! We also thought the bed was a bit too small for the two of us and kinda hard… Water pressure is not great. We needed to use a bucket to shower. Other than that we really enjoyed our time here. Its good for 2 max 3 nights in our opinion. Also based on how much there is to see.

Friendly and helpful owner. She cooks a good breakfast too. The room is basic, but clean and comfortable. There's a mosquito net that is a necessity and covers the entire bed. There was an AC unit that cost 300 extra per night, the fan was good enough for me. The bathroom is compact and rustic. A toilet, sink and shower/water tap. A towel, soap and two packets of shampoo were provided. Although there's no hot water, a cool shower is refreshing in the May heat. There's a bucket and scoop or a shower head. The latter worked poorly. There's two terraces and they're lovely to sit in. There's also a garden with is very nice. Overall, you get a lot for the price.

The facilities are basic and rustic, but that's priced in. There's no hot water, but I knew that anyway. It can get noisy in the morning due to roosters crowing, dogs barking and motor vehicles. All this just just part of the province charm.

Close to chocolate hills Bike rental available

No hot water

Can’t recommend this place enough - the owner was extremely friendly and helpful at all times, the room was comfortable and spotless clean, the bed was super comfortable with mosquito net. Wifi worked well, and free coffee and water was great; the breakfast was exceptional. Quiet, peaceful location.

Nothing bad to say, we loved our stay here.

The location is golden, good wifi, the small terrace has ustensiles and plates which is super convenient with water also. The beds are comfy. The room was spacious. For the price, this was by far our best accomodation in the Bohol province.

The noise from nearby roosters can be intense, but there was nothing the owners or us could do about it.

Price was reasonably good and room was clean. Definitely reccommending this place!

Ate Nita, the owner of the place, is very nice, helpful and accommodating. Very calm at night that you can have a good sleep. The rooms are cute and comfortable. Ate Nita prepared very good breakfast for the four of us. Very good breakfast! She can arrange tricycle rental for 1 day. We availed full day rental of tricycle and visited man made forest, sanctuary of tarsier (not the conservatory, if you want to avoid crowds, visit the sanctuary of tarsier instead of conservatory), Pangas Falls and Chocolate hills plus the market of Batuan where we bought fruits and turon! Kuya RJ is the name of our tricycle driver and he is nice too! The location of this hotel is near the chocolate hills. We visited chocolate hills 2 times, 1st visit in the morning, we woke up at 5 am and started walking to chocolate hills (around 4km) to catch sunrise, avoid crowds and take photos. And then the 2nd visit was at 4 pm and honestly it was too crowded.

Nothing ☺️

Everything was really nice. the owner is a gem and so is the neighbourhood. the room was very clean and I didnt see a single bug inside. free coffee. nice chill areas and an incredible price. stores very close and the main road a short walk. I liked the amount of nature and also the type of travellers I encountered there. it was great!

I didnt like that the cute kitten would not come snuggle me haha but it was very nice to look at.

The rooms are basic but have everything you need. There is free tea and coffee in the outside dining area as well as cutlery and plates which can be used. The location is very close to chocolate hills, but there isn’t much else around. However, if you want to feel like a local and have a more real experience of the Philippines, this place was perfect. The family were amazing. They were so lovely, they spoke very good English and couldn’t do enough for you. They definitely made our experience.

Nothing

It's so amazing

I love the genuine experience

The owner is so lovely and nice, the hotel is great , the room was clean and cute, we loved everything, thank you so much , want to come back here again ❤️

Everything was perfect!

Super nice owners who helped us with our requests. We had a wonderful stay and would really recommend it!

Nice spacious room. Lovely and kind host who was super helpful. Was near to the chocolate hills too

Nothing

A great, relaxing place to stay with a really nice owner :).

really good price - host was soo sweet

was pretty warm with only a fan

nice place very friendly stuff they rent scooter - you gonna need to get around the area. we joined a very nice dinner with the family- thank you so much :)

room is a bit small

I stayed in one of the upstairs rooms. Only sharing the bathroom with one other room a nice change. (there are also new rooms freshly built at the back of the garden, but I preferred the upstairs ones). They have created a nice spacious sheltered terrace to relax on. Views of the countryside lovely. It was very rainy when I was there, so having that space to escape the weather occasionally was welcome. Family tried hard to accommodate all my requests, were very flexible, and any confusions sorted out without any fuss. Room kinda small, but comfy bed with good mosquito net.

Even though you are outside the village, its still kinda noisy at times - the road that passes has some trucks (construction site nearby? temporary?) But bigger issue for guests might be the rooster farm across the road - yep, dozens of them. But overall, rural enough to relax - most of the time. Probably too far to walk to town, but most people will have scooters/cars anyway.

Great homestay if you need it for 1 night, the host was super nice and helpful, we rented a scooter off her to go to the chocolate hills. Great price for a budget stay.

Not soundproof at all, and the neighbourhood dogs and roosters were noisey all night, the air conditioner is also very Loud.

Definitely recommend. Very nice room and great breakfast.

Very cute place, great breakfast, nice location (walking distance to town & restaurants etc.), super nice owners, would definitely stay again!

Very welcoming hosts. Lovely spot near chocolate hills in local village. I rented a motorbike so it was easy to get to. Clearly marked sign on building as you arrive, so super easy to find. Free tea and coffee (with hot water flask) and nice communal sitting area. Good wifi connection is, just a little slow.

Roosters opposite were a little noisy but tolerable!

Wonderful family run business. Very helpful and friendly. Beds very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.

More like a homestay with nice family, even gave me a lift to bus stop when I left and accommodated my vegetarian needs with the evening meal. They had a book swap which are getting harder to find and the comfiest bed and pillow I've had yet on this trip! The village of Batuad was nice and very close- don't stay in Carmen. I had to change buses there and it seemed a bit of a run down scruffy construction site. Batuad is also closer to the chocolate hills- I walked it the first day and rented scooter from Mioki the second dawn visit ( for 400 which is a reasonable price).

The absolute only thing is the roosters next door. I have good earplugs so not a problem unless you need to hear your alarm for an early morning bus or something. Oh and no hot shower but not really needed in Philippines!

Very welcoming and hospitable family. I felt very much at home. Good location. In a very pleasant rural environment with paddy fields around, yet just about 7 minutes walk from the main road, where buses coming from Tagbilaran can drop you off. The parking lot for Chocolate Hills is around 10 minutes ride on a scooter. I had a very clean and comfortable room with a small attached bathroom. Air Conditioner is available for an extra charge but I didn't feel the need as the weather was pleasant. There was a shared terrace outside my room which was nice for chilling out. Breakfast was really good and at a very reasonable price. Purified water dispensers are provided. The scooter I rented from the guest house was in excellent condition. Overall a great place to stay and highly recommended.

Michael was extremely attentive and helpful - he helped organise our ATV tour and transfer. He was quick to respond to messages and the rooms are very clean and you can rent a moped from the property. Pictures are accurate of the property

Unfortunately there was no running hot water and the shower is cold. Michael did fill up a flask of boiling water for us on request which was greatly appreciated. Also the walls and windows of the rooms are very thin so you are woken up early by neighbours chickens - might be helped with earplugs.

Michael was very welcome and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were amazing

- Cozy and very clean place - awesome host (very friendly and always there to offer help and recommendations) - located 10 min scooter ride from chocolate hills (scooters can easily be rented at the place) - good breakfast available

Bathroom was a bit small

Super clean place, very conformable bed. The owners are extremely kind, they helped us to organize our trip and even dropped us at the bus station. Very generous Filipino breakfast. Good location to explore the chocolate hills, the rice fields and waterfalls. You can rent a motorbike here also!

As everywhere in the countryside, expect to hear the roasters! Just put some earplugs!

Lovely, friendly and helpful people. Helped sort out bikes, great breakfast , nice location and even gave us a car ride to the bus station. A lot of good activities to do around. Highly recommend

Was a wonderful stay in mioki hometel. Michael and his family are awesome and welcoming and you directly feel like you are part of the family. If all accommodations would be like this one, travelling would be even better! Good price for a decent room in a beautiful area of Bohol.

Could not have been better, no negative points in my opinion.

Close to the chocolate hills viewpoint. Rooms are clean and the breakfast was good.

Wifi was bad.

its accomodation is nice,good and clean.

none

Very nice, clean place with modern furniture and hot water. The terrace is big and comfortable. The owner is really nice too.

You need a bike to get around.

Our top favorite was the host Michael and his family. They welcomed us warmly after a long trip to our destination. Michael was super chill and even helped and provided us with transportation during our stay. He gave us tipps what to do during our stay and we had nice conversations with him too. The house is clean and you have everything you need there. The neighborhood is nice and the people are friendly. Would def recommend!

Michael, the owner was extremely helpfull. I'm travelling with my bike and I had a severe problem with my backwheel. Thanks to Michael that everything turned out okay. So he saved my holidays in the Philippines!

Nothing.

Very clean and comfy, nice terasse with amazing view, friendly staff, rented a scooter, dinner available

shower has no pressure, chicken will wake you up very early

Very friendly owner advise me many information about the local attractions.

No

Amazingly welcoming lady and super nice room with an own bathroom. Better than many more expensive accommodations we stayed at. The room was very clean and stylish. Also the owner made us vegetarian dinner and breakfast up on our request which was very positive surprise!

Very nice place. The "mom" at the house maked us nice dinner and she even gave us breakfast for free. You can rent moped at the owner. Close to chokolate hills and the small monkeys.

There are a lot of roosters in the area that will start making noise at 2 am. The waterpressure in the shower is very low.

This family is so friendly, kind and helpfull. The homestay is located in classis Filipino village which is not touristic at all. That was a big plus because we could discover the 'real' philipines instead of making daytrips from the bigger cities. From here we walked to the chocolate Hills for instant. Also the barbeque place in Batuan village is amazing.

Don't set your alarm, it's not necessary because the chickens will wake you.

Everything

The host family made me feel I was home. Thank you so much. The room was excellent. There's a towel, soap, shampoo. They also provide free water. The location is very close to chocolate hills

Nothing

The lady/host was the best part. She was super sweet and the breakfast was a proper tasty Philippino meal. The place makes you feel like a local. Location worked well for us as we will traveling around the Island. Town wise, small place but we had one our best dinners in a small carenderia nearby (Twins)

Ensuite bathroom was really small and without a proper shower (not even a hand shower). There was not AC but a fan was there (we kept it on the whole night). Our second bedroom didn't have curtains, so the friend there woke up at sunrise. Just one switch per room so bring extension leads in case you need to charge more than one device. Slatted glass windows, so be aware of mosquitos (although it was actually not that bad) The house is surrounded by nature, so be aware of noises all night (cocks, frogs, dogs...) No hooks at all, so you will need to put your wet towels outside.

The owner was friendly and welcomed us during our stay. The place requires a bit of a walk from the national road but it is a good value for money. It was near the ShipHaus and it costs around 25 pesos from the Chocolate Hills' entrance. The bed was very comfortable and there is a (hot and cold) water dispenser on the balcony. There were sari-sari stores around the area. We also got some toiletries, towels, blankets, cups, and utensils to use. You can also order some breakfast here for a reasonable price.

Nothing to complain about.
