Would have been nice if the hut is equipped with window screen so no insect would come inside and so we could open the windows at night as it was hot during the time of our stay and with the windows closed, the fan was just circulating hot air. A fridge would have been nice to store drinks. The stairs was a killer but we know that from the start.

The host is very helpful. He's a very nice man and he's always there / a phone call away if you have questions or problems with the house. He arranged the tour for us and the motorcycle rent which was very helpful in going to Nacpan Beach. He also helped us in getting a van going to P. Princesa. As for the place, it isolated us from the noise and busy life of the town. It's a place to stay to get closer to nature.

Our stay in El Nido was so much fun with many thanks going to our host, Mr Armstrong. He truly is one of a king and a remarkable person. It was if we had our own private guide during our time. He was so happy and welcoming and assisted us with booking tours, bikes and everything else in between. The climb up the stairs is well worth the reward of seeing Mr Armstrong’s smiling face and his loyal companion, Diesel.

One had to do quite some planning before climbing up, making sure they have enough water and food.

It was secluded yet not too far from the city.

Nothing really! Steps are as expected. Do not do if struggle with steps but that is clearly stated in accomodation description so was prepared! Worthwhile to stay there!

Authentic stay in amongst the trees and animals! Away from people! Great view. Peaceful. Amazing help from property owner who is a great help in every way!

The noise from nightclubs in El Nido was annoying at nighttime.

A unique experience that you will not forget. The location is extraordinary. We loved the fact that we were away from the tourist masses in El Nido. Loved that we needed to walk through a local area to access the steps to the property. The steps are significant but are extremely well made (concrete) with a rope to assist. The lack of an air conditioner was not an issue for us.

Beautiful place and the views are amazing! Armstrong is very nice and kind!

If you have some physical disability affecting your ability to climb the steep approximate 136 stairs, then this location may not be for you. For me it was great, as I need the exercise.

The location was lovely amoungst the trees overlooking the sea.

The bright white light beaming in through the window. So we had to keep the drapes closed at night, which prevented full airflow.

The views were breathtaking. We spent 2 nights in a traditional dwelling on top of the hill overlooking the bay / port. The hut only had a fan, but it’s super powerful. Also, the steps are NO JOKE. Proceed if you physically can :) especially, when it’s near 90 degree outside. Nevertheless, it’s a very authentic island experience. Sir Armstrong was. Very accommodating and took great care of us! He is full of knowledge about the area. The local neighbors are super warm and welcoming. There is a small confinice store at the bottom of the hill for water and snacks .

Hospitality and price compared to how comfortable place is. Hot water! Armstrong you're the best!

The location is very good, close to the beach and the centre, but the stairs to get up to the house are really something. It's not easy to find the way, so we really recomment to get in touch with Armstrong, who takes care of the place and also manages reservations. He is extraordinarly helpful and kind. Our flight was delayed, the bus to El Nido got flat tyre on the way and we reached up the place around 1am. If he wasn't there outside waiting for us we would never find the way! He also kindly agreed to prepare breakfast earlier than normally to allow us to start the island hopping tour the next morning. When we get pretty bad sunburn he gifted us aloe vera leaves to soothe the pain like the locals do. That aloe was so big we carried it over to New Zealand with us 🙂 We are still very grateful and cannot express our gratitude. Armstrong - you are the best! The house itself was clean and had a very nice patio/weranda to have breakfest on. There was warm water in the shower and a mosquitere around the bed. Not many place to unpack you things, but it wasn't a problem. We visited during a wet season so the vent on the ceiling was a blessing. We strongly recommend this place if you want to meet the greatest host in the Philipines, live next to the main beach and have a jungle-like experience 🙂

Couldn’t stay longer :(

By far the best travel experience ever. The place itself is a 10 out of 10 with the best view in town and a cottage just for yourself with everything you need but the host is what this trip to camp talusi hills really made it so special. Armstrong is so helpful and kindhearted. He truly is a legend. Hopefully we will have the chance to come back one day.

It was a bit hard to find the place at first and t's very demanding to climb up there. Not for someone not in good shape. The view to sea and town was mostly blocked by dense canopies.

Solitary location with only two bungalows. The feeling of achievement when you get up there in the difficult location with your backpack, walking all those stairs for the first time. Breakfast provided. The multi-talented host Mr. Armstrong has a very big heart.

I missed the air conditioning and better signposting of the access to the accommodation. Due to the high humidity of the air, it was very difficult to dry anything.

I really liked the terrace and the view from it. I also appreciate the great host who was always there for us and very willingly helped us with everything (100% for him).

Stayed in November 2023

Shower and sink need restoration. Weak water power in shower. Lack of space (no space) for luggage, shirts, pants, your private things etc..

Amstrong is very kind person.. he did everything he could for us. He helped with all needs.Place it nice, in the forest. Nice place in the forest, birds, squirrels ... very tasteful breakfast from Amstrong.

Great value for money. The accommodation is right above El Nido beach. The room was clean and our host Armstrong took great care of us and was very helpful. We also had our own private bamboo terrace.

Stayed in November 2023

The water pressure of the shower was very low. Even tough we were informed about the steps we still underestimated them - only book this place when you are really fit!

The hut itself is simple but cozy, nice and clean and very good value for the money. The host was very attentive and friendly, a good breakfast was included.

Stayed in November 2023

Our host Armstrong was amazing. He was very attentive, helpful and helped us organize all the activities and even more, beyond our expectations 🙂 He helped us with luggage, and guided us through the town. He made amazing omellette. The jungle is bit calmer than town’s center. For this price you cannot expect the same quality of accommodation as in Europe so keep that in mind. As it’s common in Philippines, there is noise coming from El Nido as well as the animals. In October we havent seen any monkeys. All in all, this was one of the best accommodation we were in, thanks to the lovely host and we would definetly book again 🙂

This was the best accommodation of our entire trip:). The bungalov is located in a bush, that is great and the view is pretty. (Please note that there really are stairs). It is very peaceful place. Armstrong, the host, was most helpful. He helped is with trasport, trips, made us great breakfast. He has amazing personal approach and we felt like home. Thank you for a great stay!

Nothing that I didn’t like. One suggestion may be to put a small mirror in the room.

Mr Armstrong made my stay better than I could have imagined. He is one of the kindest people I have met. The stairs are a bit of a killer but I enjoyed the exercise. The breakfast was lovely. It was so peaceful being up in the trees.
