    Better to look at the Underground River tours offered in the city. No need for a private guide..

    Great place in the nature! Be aware of the many stairs you have to take

    A bit rustic and tucked away but that was part of the dharm.

    Self contained apartment held 5 people. Help booking the underground river. Breakfast. Location.

    The bed was very uncomfortable with the mattress being very thin which kept me mostly awake during the night.

    The room is nice and big with a table and chairs inside. It has many windows with mosquito netting for good airflow in the room. It also has a net above the bed. There is a washing line in front of the room.

    Bed mattress was a bit too thin for my liking but my boyfriend was ok with it. The room can get very hot but there is a fan that will help to cool down

    Good location to take a few quite and restful days, you can easily see the stars at night and enjoy the jungle during the day (we spotted one monkey in the morning).

    The beds were not that comfortable and the rooms were very small. Also the bathrooms are little cubicles outside, therefore a lot of animals and bugs are in the cubicles. The showers didn't look that clean.

    Nice staff and good facilities that they offer to do in the area .they were very helpful with fixing our transit to el nido.

    It was a little bit difficult to get to our lodging at night because of the dark. It's not so bad if you're not walking drunk (lol) and also there was a guard dog that scared us off a little bit.

    Staff was friendly and very hospitable. We were very hungry when we arrived and even though the in house restaurant did not have any supplies at that time, they prepared a simple but very hearty lunch for us. Thanks to the lady who went out of her way to make us feel welcome! I wasn't able to get her name but that lunch was one of the highlights of my trip. (For some context, we were very tired from the van ride going to Sabang and haven't had a proper meal since 6:00 AM that day)

    Water pressure could be stronger in the shower.

    It is on the edge of Sabang with a beautiful view of the mountains and only a short 10 minutes walk to the beach area. It is good value and although the shower is not heated you really don’t need it to be with the heat. They organised an early morning trip to the amazing underground river before all the crowds get there. The beach is fabulous with a few good enough restaurants around. Definitely worth spending a few days relaxing here rather than just in and out in a day to see the river.

    In the middle of nature, nice view of the mountains, they organize trips to the underground river in Badang and good value car rides to other places in Palawan.

    Honestly, it is perfectly servicable, but it does need a spruce up. But it is a budget option. All modcons are available down the road at the Sheraton for 10~20x the price!

    When you arrive it looks run down. But it took a battering in typhoon odette. The rooms are perfectly good, clean. The staff are great, Andre the owner is an interesting raconteur with a great sense of humour. We spent hours talking with him. Its nice to be in the edge of town away from the Sabang village.

    There was not complimentary drinking water. There was not complimentary coffee (we had complimentary coffee and water at our two previous rentals so we came to expect it, especially for the price of this rental per night).The yard work could use up keeping but the cottages were painted & clean.

    We rented a great cottage that gave us privacy from the other buildings. The cottage was clean, had a bathroom in it with toilet/sink/shower. We have a great fan and were able to cool off the room easily at night. The clothes line was convenient at our cottage. We were located outside of Sabang and enjoyed the peaceful location. We felt safe & there was wifi at the reception area. The staff were lovely, friendly, helpful people.

    Tricky finding reception when you arrive. Lots of steps and no idea where we were going. Often had to go in search of staff. They are not proactive. Minimum food offering (2 dishes same every night). Not enough plug sockets anywhere. No where really comfy to sit.

    The cottages were very well spaced and you had a good view. Ok bed, nice bathroom (only cold water), quiet. 15 min walk from town. Helped us book river trip and onward travel. Fan only but AC not needed.

    The steps down to it, especially in the rain with bags, are a challenge. Nowhere particularly comfy to sit. Arty chairs of wood pieces look great but are not made for comfort. Trips are expensive.

    Friendly, happy to help staff. Food was nice and reasonably priced. Organised trips fine. Quiet at night. Hotish water. Good location.
