    This is a residential area. Malayo sea shore. The good thing is you can buy at a store near you and talk to locals.

    Mabait sila sa mga guests nila. Malinis. AC is very good. Free used of kitchenware.

    Questionable descriptions of property and value for money
    • Leisure trip

    The room was dated and almost like it hadn't been used for years. Curtain stained ripped and barely hanging on. Everything looked tired and needing renovation. However it was relatively clean and I was happy to share my room with a lizard. It doesn't at all warrant the price tag per night needs reducing signifcantly if I'm being honest. It was almost as if they didn't expect my arrival and put me in old disused room. The shower broke on arrival gushing water throughout the bathroom. This was swiftly fixed by them replacing the tap so 10/10 for their efforts. Bambooze haus being in a local neighbourhood expect noises from local roosters to wake you up in the early hours there are several of them constantly making noise. So my sleep quality was unfortunately poor. The location is in a shanty town which the pathway is muddy and down a dark alley. Plus some of locals weren't too friendly with me (i'm a westerner) I asked for directions to find my way out to the road and they purposely thought it was amusing to send me the wrong way. The hotel just needs to be a bit more honest with their pictures and renovate the rooms but I can tell finances haven't been kind to them. I stayed in a hotel for the same price a few days later which was new, clean and modern. Price doesn't reflect the quality being honest. But I genuinely wish the hotel well and hope they can update their rooms and be more honest with descriptions as the pictures don't reflect.

    The staff were a little shy at first and not so receptive which made me feel a little uneasy. But they were helpful when there was an issue with the shower and swift to fix it promptly. Also brought me tea everyday which was a kind gesture and I appreciated. The building was an old style building very sturdy during the bad weather and gate to the property was secure.

    Far from stations of Bora. aircon is too dusty that i need to clean the filter or strainer and even though it's already cleaned still hot in the room.. no trash bin inside the room nor to the bathroom. Which we need to ask the staff for it.

    The staff is accommodating.

    I don’t like giving bad reviews, but it’s only fair to warn fellow travelers. I understand the low budget and that standards can’t be high, but here the level was truly unacceptable. Very dirty. Very damp and with a smell of moisture. The bathroom was practically unusable. Also, the entrance was a bit too secluded, through a small path that was too isolated, dark and muddy and I’ve felt not safe to go there at night. I wouldn’t go back even if they paid me. That said, I feel sorry for the host who seemed like a nice guy, although he spoke very little English. But everything needs improvement.

    Nothing, have left and switch to a different stay after one night.

    You have to open the door so that you'll have good access to the wifi. The way going to the location is too muddy. The location going to the beach is too far. My stay was supposedly 7 days, but I needed to look for other accommodation otherwise this place will just ruin my vacation. On my third day, I had to transfer to other property but as per their guidelines, my full payment isn't refundable.

    The staff were nice.

    the bathroom was pretty small and not really enough for 2 people but otherwise it was really good and really worth it

    the staff were extremly helpful and welcoming they teach you and let you cook, they offered us bears and cooked for us nuddles when we failed to make it in the right way , the place had a natural vibe ,it was so relaxing hearing the chicken's voice in the morning , and we have got to witness the real life style of philppinos , its a good cheap place to be in , compared to the other hotels that are so much more expensive , the hotel was almost 8 minute far from the beach which was not as crowded as the beaches next to other stations . also the internet was working so well .

    Absolutely nothing, we booked for a room that we didn’t have so we asked to the guy to have the room that we booked but he answered me something absurd…Never mind we stayed in this room and we noticed that the shower was not working. So what do we had to do was to close like the pipe to flush the toilet to have a functional shower.. And the biggest problem is coming..we had to use a bucket to flush the toilet, it wasn’t working well so I won’t explain the color of the water in the toilets, I let you imagine…I almost forgot to talk about the big joke that the guy told us. I asked him if I could get some toilet paper and he told me sorry this is the last one I have but you can buy some, go that way ! I didn’t expect that, I’m sorry but I’m client I don’t have to buy anything ! 6000 pesos for 4 nights to get that ! Scam.

    Absolutely nothing, to be honest I would like to say that we got scammed !
