- amazing hosts that will go above and beyond to help you with whatever you require. - excellent kitchen and fans in every room. - starlink wifi! (Disregard old reviews about bad wifi). - the owners have a store next to the pension. - just off the main road, so not much traffic.

Very nice and well maintained place. The family was very kind and helpful. Daughter was doing the check in, while mum was working in the shop and dad was taking care of the garden. Room and bungalow was very clean and I had a great housemate.

I stayed there for 6 nights just to relax and it was really great. The rooms (had two different ones because I extended) and also the outside area is comfy, welcoming and clean. The staff is amazing and so friendly. During my stay they got a new WiFi which was the best I experienced in the whole Philippines. Perfect for working on the computer.

There was not always running water, however this is apparently a common thing in port Barton. To tackle this issue they do provide large buckets of water and u can buy bottled water at the reception as well.

For the price everything was very clean, they sell tours as well at a good price, and they offer laundry service as well! + the hosts were just amazing, both of them were so incredibly kind!

Everything about this accommodation was fantastic. The location is good, short walk from the bus station, beach, shops and restaurants. The room was large with a big window and fly screens over the window and door. We were upgraded to a room with private bathroom which was really nice. The unit also has its own little outdoor kitchen area with sink and gas hob. The rooms are set in a mature garden so you get a lot of shade, and there are outdoor seating areas. The whole place is kept clean and tidy, and the owners are lovely, really friendly and helpful. They have a shop on site and also do breakfasts if you don't fancy cooking yourself. The WiFi was OK. We stayed 5 nights and wanted to extend, unfortunately they were fully booked. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was just lovely.

We loved to stay here! Location was perfect and hosts were sincere and hospitable. We were prepared for too warm and humid night because we knew that there is no AC. Pleasent suprise was that the fan in the ceiling was so efficient that we slept perfectly fine. We will delfinitely come back to this accommodation, if we ever come back to Port Barton.

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Charity Pension House, largely thanks to the amazing owner, Chris and his family. His friendliness and personal touch really set this place apart. Every night, we had the pleasure of engaging in friendly chess matches, which added a unique and enjoyable aspect to my stay. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, with excellent shower facilities. Considering the quality of the accommodations, the price was truly amazing – it's a great value for money. Breakfast each morning was a delightful experience. The food was tasty and provided a great start to the day. Furthermore, the convenience of booking boat tours and a van to El Nido directly through the hotel was incredibly helpful. Overall, I highly recommand.

We had an amazing 6 nights stay here. Charity and her family are so welcoming and kind and we loved spending time chatting with them. The rooms are in small cottages, with a small kitchen to use, the garden is nice for relaxing and they also have a shop for anything you need.

I love my stay here! ✨ The family owners are very nice, they run the place by themselves. The place is clean, nice, and very relaxing. Great value for money!

The owners are very nice. The room is clean and comfortable. They have an indoor and outdoor common area, that is surrounded by trees and plants. I loved the big breakfast that is available for a fair price, 150 pesos.

No hot water in the showers, Wi-Fi was pretty slow especially in the evening, quite a few insects around but that is quite common in this area.

Good value for money, would definitely recommend, good location in Port Barton close to shops, restaurant and the beach. kitchen is well equipped and the staff are very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend. Free coffee and tea available, beautiful trees, plants and flowers all over the property. Overall a great place to stay.

No hot water, but not a major issue :) Weak/patchy wifi (but this is true of most of Port Barton)

Nice space to ourselves. Strong shower. Fan in the room was sufficient. Comfy bed. Useful shelves for storage. Kind, friendly hosts. Did laundry here and it was ready the next day. Good location. Everything is within walking distance. Near to some nice food options.

There were quite a lot of ants in the bathroom at all times and also the WiFi was very bad in the rooms- better connection sat out in the garden but that wasn’t ideal when it was raining or at night.

Really comfy clean room. There was a nice seating area outside the room and also in the garden area. Walking distance to port Barton beach and in a 2km radius from other nice beaches. 5min walk from the terminal. can book everything through the hostel. They have a shop also and option to order breakfast which was really good. The staff were incredibly friendly and even lent out snorkels for the beach.

We think they could put the water in the guesthouse (even if they ask a little bit more money). It's not about the price it's just more practical :p

Everything. The people, the place, the kitchen, the prices,... Frankly we loved it and even extended our stay.

We extended our stay as it is a good value for the money you get.

It would be nice to clean the common area regularly (esp. bathroom).

Nice staff, available kitchen, a small shop available on place, quiet location, close to the beach

Across Port Barton the wifi can be patchy.

Probably our favourite place in all of the Philippines!! We absolutely loved it here. Kris and Charity are so nice and make you feel at home! We stayed in the green little bungalow and had our own kitchen/seating area/dining area/outside porch area which was shared with just one other 2 person room. It was great! You can buy pancake mix + an egg for 52 pesos and we had pancake for breakfast most days. 1k litre refills for 5 pesos! You can book the island tour directly through them for a much better price, they can also sort transport plus lots of other things for great prices. On the last night they surprised us all with a free family meal. It was so nice and we just felt like we were at home. Their pets are lovely Zeus, Ringo, Tiny and Mimi ( excellent head bops). They rebuilt this place themselves after the typhoon and have done such a good job. They are trying to encourage more environmentally friendly behaviour in the village and are just genuinely nice people. We honestly couldn’t recommend this place more! Loved it!
