Rovi Homestay

De ligging en de hosts

In de stad was er geen water en electriciteit tussen 8 am en 4 pm. De hosts hebben wel water voorzien. En uiteraard buiten hun controle want beslist door de stad.

L’authenticité de ce logement fait tout son charme la cuisine est excellente et l’accueil plus que chaleureux. Je recommande !

The property was very good with a beautiful view on the sea just in front of the house The mini town (7 Pecados) was very chill with a good restaurant and we could play basketball with very nice kids The owners was always helpful with us and give very good advice about all the coron islands

It's not always very clean, but it was ok

Romel y Vilma fueron unos anfitriones muy atentos y serviciales. La verdad es que se nota que le han puesto mucho amor a las habitaciones que están rentando. Además que me ayudaron a coordinar una salida al mar para hacer snorkeling en los 7 pecados (ya que viven al frente). También viven muy cerca de unas termas que vale la pena visitar.

Un día volví en la noche y me costó encontrar la casa porque estaba un poco oscuro. Pero las personas de ahí me ayudaron.

Charming village, lovely hosts, delicious breakfasts, comfortable room—what more could you ask for? Sunrises just 10 meters from the room, kayaking and snorkeling right on site. We couldn't have dreamed of anything better. Thank you for everything!

Die Gastgeber waren unfassbar nett, bei Fragen und Anliegen immer unglaublich hilfsbereit und sooo freundlich und sympathisch! Rovi Homestay liegt in dem kleinen Dorf sitio maquinit, ca 15min von coron Stadt entfernt, es ist sehr ruhig und bis auf eine super leckere Pizzeria gibt es auch keine Restaurants. Der schnorchelspot direkt vor Ort ist super und eine absolute Empfehlung! Der Handyempfang ist in dem Dorf leider eher schlecht, dafür stehen überall wlanboxen in die man Kleingeld werfen kann. Um zu entspannen und zur Ruhe zu kommen ist der Ort super und Romel&Vilma waren immer mit Rat und Tat zur Stelle um uns unsere Wünsche zu erfüllen (: Frühstück und Abendessen haben sie auf Anfrage auch zubereitet - was auch unglaublich lecker war! Wir würden sofort wieder kommen!

We really love the place around Fisher man village, all the people around are so friendly !!! As i said it s really where to stay in Coron !!!! You can also rent a kayak to go to siete pecados....for a good price! The owner also arranged for us an ultimate tour and even if we are not use to do that kind of activity, it was magik 🤩.... So, go, go to Rovi homestay !!!!

Une famille adorable au cœur d’un village authentique. Rovi et sa famille nous ont accueillis très chaleureusement et avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Leur homestay est simple mais très bien aménagé : propre, confortable et doté de tout le nécessaire pour passer un agréable séjour. Les petits déjeuner étaient très bien, et le poisson délicieux ! L’emplacement est parfait, en plein cœur du village de Maquinit, juste à côté des sources chaudes. Le site de Siete Pecados est accessible en moins de 20 minutes en kayak depuis le logement, ce qui est idéal pour profiter pleinement des environs. Nous avons fait une excursion privé avec des amis de Rovi, et ce fût notre meilleure expérience des philippines ! Si vous recherchez une expérience authentique, qui soutient l’économie locale et vous permet de rencontrer des personnes formidables, c’est l’endroit rêvé. Merci de respecter la tranquillité des lieux, les coutumes et le mode de vie des habitants. Ici, vous n’êtes pas dans un Resort, mais accueillis au sein d'une famille qu'il faut respecter. Merci encore à Rovi et toute sa famille ! Nous reviendrons sans hésitation lors de notre prochain voyage ! Margot et Pierre

ホストのロメルとビルマが沢山お世話してくれました レンタルしたければ、モーターバイクや、カヤック、シュノーケリングのグッズなども貸してくれて、ツアーへの手配や、交通手段の手配などもしてくれてとってもありがたかったです 本当に落ち着いた場所で、自然やリアルな島生活を体験したいなら凄くオススメです✨ 是非行ってみてね〜！ I recommend this place! They took such great care of me If you want to rent anything, they can arrange motorbikes, kayaks, and more. They also help organize tours and transportation, which was incredibly helpful. It’s a truly peaceful place, and I highly recommend it if you want to experience nature and authentic island life ✨

Loved our stay at Rovi Homestay, Vilma and Romel are super welcoming, it feels very homey. Food and wifi is available upon request - there is no phone service so nice break from your phone, the rooms are quite spacious, and they are proactive in managing things for you like transport to town or airport, or activities. Showers are very clean and comfortable compared to other places we’ve stayed at, as well as the beds.

I didn’t mind but it’s good to note it’s not close to the town so you have to take a trike if you don’t rent a bike. It’s close to other main attractions in Coron instead: hot springs and snorkelling spots. Only thing I personally really missed was a mosquito net.

La ubicación es ideal, en frente del mar y a solo 5 minutos del arrecife de los Siete Pecados. Rovi y Vilma son increíbles y te ayudan en todo.

El camino hasta el alojamiento es un poco aventurero. Personalmente me gustó, pero puede que haya gente que no le guste tanto

It’s a small, simply furnished place, but it has everything you need. I’ve honestly never had such kind hosts before. Rommel and Vilma are incredibly attentive, cook delicious food, and help you with absolutely everything — especially with planning excursions (snorkeling, island hopping, scooter rental, etc.). The accommodation also has a great location right by the sea, and it only takes about 10 minutes by kayak to reach the best snorkeling spot in Coron.

I loved this place!! Vilma and Romel are the sweetest and friendliest hosts. Their homestay is really cute and located in a small village, 10 minutes away from the center of Coron. It’s the perfect place to relax and experience the local life. The rooms are super cozy and clean. There’s an amazing pizza place next to their home, best pizza I had in south-east Asia. I am vegetarian, and Romel took me to his sister’s vegan restaurant in Coron center and it was super delicious. Also the best snorkeling spot of the island is located next to there homestay, and they let you use their kayak to go there. So if you’re looking for a peaceful and authentic place, this is the place for you!!!

Hospitality. Hele aardige eigenaren Willen je overal mee helpen. Locatie voor ons perfect , buiten de stad , dicht bij de hotspring

Niets

Filipino Hospitality, we really enjoyed our meals during our stay. The rooms were comfortable filipino style (no AC or hot water for shower) but nights were comfortable with fans and sea breeze and views.

We book our tours in advance, due to mistake host lost our tour business and we lost out on their private tour packages.

Romel and Vilma are very welcoming. Their place is right on the water in a quaint little village. They provide exceptional service whether it be cooking meals , doing laundry or motor bike rentals.

The location is acceptable, but to get there it is necessary to rent a motorbike or pay for a tuk tuk, which costs around $400. The room is fine for the price and has a fan. We stayed for four days and occasionally there was no water or electricity. The internet is coin-operated and not always included. The hosts are very helpful and assist with organizing activities and logistics, which we really appreciated.

I am lowering the rating because during all the days of our stay there was a dog kept in a small cage where it could barely move. It was very sad to see every day. Tourists are not used to seeing animals in this condition, as in our countries animals are usually well cared for. It felt very cruel. I truly hope they can free the dog and give it the care and affection it deserves.

- Very welcolming host, - Authentic location and experience, - Kayak rental direct with homestay, - Easy access to Siete Pecados - Hot springs close by (walkable) - Cabo beach and restaurant a short scooter ride away - Very nice breakfast and dinner option available from hosts We only stayed one night due to a busy schedule but this was a great escape from Coron city noise tourist town. Yes there's cockrels and karoke in the village but that's what being in the Philippines is about for us and much nicer than tourists belting out karoke in Coron. Romel and Wilma were very friendly ams welcoming. Thank you for sharing your special place with us.

If you are used to AC then you might need to consider that there is no AC in the room and on our night is was pretty hot without a breeze.

Romel and Vilma are incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming people. They truly care about their guests and go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and well taken care of. Romel helped organize tricycle rides at fair prices and arranged a boat trip to the Siete Pecados Marine Park, which is literally right in front of the accommodation – an absolutely stunning snorkeling spot. You can order a delicious breakfast from Vilma for a very small price, which was a lovely start to the day. I felt extremely comfortable and safe throughout my entire stay. Romel was also amazingly kind and even took me to town on his motorbike (about a 10-minute ride). Coming back late at night was never an issue – I paid only 300 pesos at 12:30 a.m. This place truly feels like a home away from home. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back again.

כלום

היו הפסקות חשמל ואחרי יום עזבנו וקיבלנו כסף חזרה, מקום מאוד פרימיטיבי

Great experience in authentic local village. It’s a few km or miles from the main tourist town so it’s probably best to have a motorcycle. It’s a fantastic location right on the bay near a world class reef. Rooms are basic but clean and quite comfortable, hosts are friendly and helpful and hostess makes a great omelette.

Simple, yet comfortable and clean. It was quiet and I had an amazing view from my window. Vilma and Romel were always so nice! They got plenty of drinking water for me, there was always hot water for tea or coffee and they let me use their kayak to paddle around the bay and Siete Pecados marine park. They took me to town to go on my body trips and arranged for my shuttle to the airport. I definitely recommend their homestay.

Nothing.

Le logement est à l’extérieur de la ville au bord de la mer dans un petit village authentique.

Vilma y su familia fueron muy acogedores, te recogen en el puerto y te ayudan para todo en tu estancia. Los desayunos con huevos caseros. Poder descubrir el pueblo de Maquinit y tener 7 pecados al lado, nosotros fuimos en kayak y genial. Solo hay un sitio para comer en el pueblo, la pizzería Ino, muy buena y muy recomendable (comimos ahi los 3 dias, también te lleva las pizzas al alojamiento si quieres). Nos hicieron la colada y la ropa quedó muy bien.

Lo digo como crítica constructiva. Las instalaciones se pueden mejorar. Baño compartido sin agua caliente, la bomba de agua va con un generador y hay que conectar y desconectar un enchufe que se encuentra fuera de la casa. El agua sale con un poco de olor a óxido. Se podría mejorar la limpieza de baño y habitaciones. La habitación es calurosa y solo hay un ventilador. Esta a unos 15 minutos en tuktuk de Coron, 200 pesos, aunque hay un tramo de camino de tierra y no nos animamos a coger moto nosotros.

Staying at this hostel is the best experience in Coron. The family’s welcome is wonderful — it’s the authentic local life. I only stayed for two days, and I left wanting to come back and spend more time with them. It’s far from the center, but if you talk to the owners, they can arrange tuk-tuks at a very good price. They also organized transport from the airport for me at an excellent price. I’d recommend talking to them before coming, because they can give you advice about activities. There’s no air conditioning, but the rooms have fans. From the yard you walk straight onto the beach, where you can catch a boat tour to Los Siete Pecados in just 5 minutes. Highly recommended. I’m posting photos taken at Los Siete Pecados.

The owners were amazing! Their food was delicious and they were so friendly! Best deals on tuktuks and motorbike rentals, and you’re walking distance to some kayaking and snorkeling spots. Worth staying here!

We enjoyed our stay a lot! The hosts are so welcoming and kind, they sorted tours and buses for us. It is a 15 mins ride from town but it's nice to be by the beach and away from the tourist centre. Plus you're close to snorkeling and the hot springs. We booked the super ultimate tour which was amazing and wed recommend however don't rent kayaks on it the 1000 pesos was way too much and you really don't need them despite what they say. Much better to rent it at the homestay.

It was very hot! Obviously nothing to be done about it and we managed with just a fan at night but good to know!

This is a unique opportunity to experience a homestay with a family in a village environment. The hosts Romel and Vilma are the most humble, caring and helpful people. They explain all the tours and even accompany you to the harbour for the start of your tour. The Siete Pecados Marine Park is a highlight and is literally minutes away. Vilma is a good cook and we enjoyed our dinners there The pizza place next door makes very good pizzas. There is a communal fridge which is always stocked.up with water and beers. The place, including the shared bathrooms, is super clean. The people living in the village are very friendly and always happy to give you a smile and say hello.

Do not come here expecting a resort, stay in Coron town for that. There is a fan, but no air conditioning.. It is basic accommodation but the bed is comfortable. and the room an ok size.

Fantastic place, located away from the busy and noisy town center. It is situated in a local village, picturesque and authentic, close to Siete Pecados, a fabulous snorkeling site. Romel and his wife have been the best hosts, taking excellent care of us and organising every activity we wanted. They were really doing everything to offer us the best stay. The homestay is clean and quiet. Some people seems to be unhappy about the confort and equipements but I find this very unfair given the very affordable price. I would recommand to every traveller looking for an authentic experience with beautifull nature at the door.

Friendly staff Close to great snorkelling at Sieto Pecados Marine Park 10 minutes walk to Maqinit Salt Water Hot Springs

We kept rolling to the centre of the bed, matres needed support | Cold showers | Toilet cistern lid cracked | Toilet cistern flush valve operated by fishing wire which often did not work| Curtain eyelet freyed | Hand basin pipe was coming at way from wall | WiFi was pay as you go - | There seemed to zero maintenance being carried out | Isolated from Coron Township | No TV or mini fridge or wardrobe in the room - Consider installing a large communal fridge in a common area for the use of all guests to keep their food & drinks cold. No ceiling fan or air conditioner Recommend raise the accommodation cost by 1000p/night & spend all of it on maintenance

really friendly family!!! i love them! the have an amazing breakfast for 150 pesos as well! it's right beside the marine sanctuary and i love that place, so great for free diving and beauty!!! that alone makes everything else worth it the bed was great, the shower / toilet was clean and great, no complaints for food options there's an ok pizza place and she serves lunch/dinner upon request (adobo for 250, which was tasty and comforting)

they do not have wifi and you have to put coins into a piso box beside the door, which only works in the main area not in our room, i think the other rooms did have wifi, the whole town has no signal with globe the room was HOT, if you are the type who gets really warm you will have a pretty bad time, i think you guys should upgrade the fans or find a way to circulate the air because i was dying lol also the walls are razor thin i was hearing the convos of the people in the next room distinctly, no real issue you just gotta hope ppl fall asleep early or yell at em xD like other people said i think it's probably better to rent a scooter so you have more freedom and can come back to this small little town, the 100 pesos each person for the tricycle adds up and is annoying (it is easy to book though in the mornings) all things considered i would probably still rate this place a solid 8, a nice PH local experience away from all the coron town BS

Lovely homestay in a small village. Romel and Vilma are wonderful, caring hosts. They help you with information, laundry, book tickets for you and much more without being intrusive. I rented a canoe and enjoyed one of the most beautiful snorkeling, siete pecados, that is just a few paddel strokes away. Piso WiFi is good and allowed me to work on my notebook. Rooms and shared bathrooms are basic but clean. It's a homestay and not a four star hotel after all. Also try the delicious pizza in front of the homestay!

Excellent! The husband and wife hosts are some of the most wonderful Filipinos that you will ever have the privilege of meeting. They will organise anything that you need. Two real highlights are living in their village and getting to know the family, AND the best snorkeling spot on the island is just a few rows away by kayak. Regarding the rooms, there are four adjoining ones, with two shared toilets and showers. It never felt pre-occupied and attracts the kind of traveler who appreciates the kind of experience it offers. The hot springs are also just a short walk away. Go early, and return again with the same ticket in the evening! Loved it.

It is all just lovely. Do it.

If you're booking this place, you won't go wrong, but you need to first understand the concept of a homestay. Imagine yourself as part of a local family. Their home is your home. While you have your privacy in a private room, you will share showers and toilets with your fellow travelers. It's no biggie. The location is in a small fishing village about 20 mins from Coron Town Proper. And again, you will be treated like family. The beds were comfy (which resulted in epic rest post action packed packed days). The operators (your new family), Wilma and Romel and superstars! They're the truest definition of a super host. Anything and every you need they will go out of their way to assist in the best way possible, from arranging private tours to getting into town. They got you. Trust me. When booking this homestay I was shook by its positive reviews and now I understand why.

Located along a beach 🏖️ just a few steps away from Siete Pecados (the best snorkeling we have ever experienced).. Rovi Homestay and its hosts is truly a wonderful experience. What makes Rovi great is that the owners are present and having other tourists to chat with. Wilma’s cooking is excellent and the homemade pizza next door is outstanding. Relax with the sound of the ocean as the local children play and laugh, shoot some hoops at the basketball court, or rent a kayak and explore the incredible Maine park. The hot springs in the morning is great with shaded mangroves and later in the evening after the sun goes down.. thank you so much for making us feel at home, we look forward to returning:)

We liked every thing:)

it was great - authentic, friendly folks, eager to help us find anything we needed

Wilma and Romel are wonderful hosts , their home is located a few steps from the beautiful coral reef of Siete Pecados Marine Park . They are very helpful in organizing trips and excursions . Homestay offers everything you need for your trip. Once again thank you for everything Mai and Wojciech.

Everything was perfect.

It's a great place if you want to experience some true local lifestyle. Rovi Homestay is away from the typical tourist area, hidden within fisherman village. The hosts are super nice and the food they prepare for you is delicious! We had a chance to rent a private boat and go to the local market before. Rooms are very modest but cosy and clean.

The location is about 10 minutes out of town in a taxi (150-200php) and is less than a 10 minute walk from the hot springs (a must see!). For us it was an ideal quieter spot, with friendly locals and away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. There is a great pizza place next door (seriously good though) and the homestay owners will make you breakfast for a small fee (at your request). They will help you out with taxis/kayaks/tours. There are also a few small shops in the area for water & snacks. The two bathrooms are shared but we had no issues waiting around ages for a shower or to use the toilet etc. There is a mosquito net on the window and a fan in the room. It’s very clean and meets all basic needs. We were sad to leave as everyone was so friendly but the homestay was all booked up, so we couldn’t extend our stay!

Nothing!

The rooms are in a local village which location is good to go snorkeling to Siete Pecados and 10min scooter from town.The family was super lovely and helpful and we celebrated Christmas Eve with them, a very nice experience!

Sometimes water was turned off and needed to ask to turn it on in order to take a shower or flush the toilet, It is a bit uncomfortable,especially if you need to wake up early or during the night

Truly everything. It was fantastic to stay in the village off the tourist track. It couldn’t have been cleaner, and the family truly could not have been nicer. Wish I’d had more time here!

Cannot think of a single thing. Just learn how to take the collective tricycle to town (100 pesos) and then the distance doesn’t matter

Very nice place and quiet. Very kind and helpful couple. They arranged a private boat tour around coron and recommended us many places. Salamat po and see you!

The hosts are amazing and made our stay very special. We would ask for anything (Kajak, motorbikes, tours) and they would make it happen. Everything is clean and comfortable. It feels like you are staying with your family. Would definetly come back!

It is not in the center so if you prefer that maybe not for you.

Romel and Wilma are fantastic hosts. They made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to look after us. We hope to be able to visit again someday.

The homestay is in a cosy fishermen village. You are surrounded by friendly and helpful people. There is no dinner in the accommodation but the pizza next to it is delicious. And you can speak with local people there. The breakfast in the house is good and can be agreed individually. The rooms are simple but comfortable with the necessary things.

The way to that place is a bad road. Some drivers don't want to drive there. But you can always find someone. Inside the village is nothing except the locals, but they are very friendly.

The cozy family owned premises with a warm atmosphere. The best location at the sea shore offers you kayaking, private boating from the premises. Kayaking to best corral spots - Siete Pecados Marine park can entertain you from sunrise till sunset. 5 minutes walk from hot springs, you can spend a whole day there. The best dinner cooked by the hostess - we had exotic fish. In one word we enjoyed our stay! Thanks guys for your hospitality!

I would recommend to have boiler for hot water.

The location is beautiful and quiet, outside of Coron town. Vilma and Romel are extremely helpful and always willing to share their advice and knowledge of the island. The rooms are very clean and the view out of them in the morning is spectacular.
