    not much negative to say as overall my stay was great. the only down point would be getting woken up by some annoying dogs barking in the morning but this is usual in the Philippines and beyond the host’s control

    wow! this was such a beautiful home and AJ was an excellent host - welcoming, warm and interesting to talk with, he made me feel very comfortable. location was quiet, peaceful and safe. didn’t cook with the kitchen but it was very well-equipped. my bed was comfortable and the facilities were good

    Air-conditioner is loud. But it's not only in this place. All aircon in Cebu are loud. So I don't blame. Towel smells stink. It's clean and good quality towel but they need to use more laundry detergen or fabric softener.

    Room is better than photo. It's beautiful, clean, cozy and private. Amenities are on point. Everything is convenient. Entire house is clean and well decorated. Since this is bnb house, it's a bit away from city center. But not too far away. Which I like it even more. It's in quiet and secure area. I felt safe the whole time. Address works well with grab car or delivery. But this address doesn't show up on Google map, so if you want to go back there with other transportation such as normal taxi or bike taxi, you have to know the area to guide to drivers. Bed is comfortable. Shower was pleasant with clean bathroom and good amount of water pressure. Although hot shower doesn't really work, but the weather in cebu is extremely hot, so it didn't bother me much. Owner AJ is very friendly, has good heart and good energy. I really appreciate to him. If I go back to cebu, I will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

    It is not for all though. PWDs and Seniors might find it not easy. The rooms are on the second and third floor, while the bathroom is shared on the third floor only.

    We stayed here for 2 nights. The place is safe and secured, inside a quiet and guarded subdivision. The house is homely, and you would feel like you never left home. The host is nice and very accommodating. He provided towels and toiletries, and allowed us to use his kitchen.

    Very nice, quiet and safe place to stay. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. Air conditioning and wifi worked very well. We highly recommend this accommodation. We had the best care we could get from AJ (the owner). This stay greatly enriched our visit in Filipines. Thank you so much AJ for your kindness and your care. We are very happy to have had the opportunity to meet you! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

    We had such a great time at AJs place. He is super friendly and the best host you can imagine. We had great talks but you also can get your space. The room was great with a lovely roof top and a comfy bed. We felt like home at his place. Thank you so much, AJ

    Nothing

    We definitely loved our stay at AJ’s Haven. It was like staying at your relative’s house - Sir AJ felt like a family member. He made sure our entire stay was comfortable and he was cordial to all his guests. His house was beautiful, cozy, and squeaky clean! The place was safe because it’s inside a quiet and secluded subdivision. It was just a few minutes away from the commercial areas so staying at his place was convenient and accessible. I also love how we got to interact with the other guests and I even made friends with them. I’ll absolutely book another stay at AJ’s place when I visit Cebu City again.

    Location was a pro and a con. We picked it because we know it wouldn’t be loud at the area due to very low traffic on the road. Con, it’s quite a drive to get to the malls and restaurants around town. But other than the one con, there’s nothing not to like about this property!

    AJ’s Haven was very ‘homey’ to us, out of all the places we’ve been, it’s the best one so far that is very comparable to what we call home. Owner AJ was also very accommodating and very easy to deal business with. It was very close by to a lot of express laundromats surprisingly— we’re a couple on a month long backpacking trip touring the Visayas region, so it’s very important to have things very accessible to us, in which this property has provided. The house and our room was extremely clean and tidy, no clutter at all. The kitchen was always clean and tidy as well during our stay which made us very happy though we didn’t get the chance to use it other than the dining table. It was equipped with a lot of the things we use back home which made us feel even more at home. The beddings were extremely comfortable!! It was like waking up to our own bed on own home. We felt safe and very comfortable on our stay, definitely a 10 out of 10.

    There was nothing I didnt like.

    A gorgeous house, fastidiously looked after by a very friendly gentleman. While the property may be a little out of the City for some, it was ideally located for my visit to family in Pardo, and a short ride is well worth it for the highest standard of accommodation I've experienced in 16 years of visiting Cebu.

    Although the location is a little far from downtown. There is a motorbike rental just beside the property in case you want to diy your tour around the island.

    I liked that we the property is safe and secure and that the host is friendly and very accommodating. The mountain view from the balcony is 👍👍 specially at night.
