Unfortunately I only had time to stay for one night at this beautiful place. This accomendation is just perfect and the two hosts, Jean and Lhoy, are wonderful people. Location is perfect, very close to the chocolate hills in a peacful neighbourhood. Can highly recommend!

Just a suggestion, it would be nice to have a side table and mirror in the room. Also maybe fix the lock in the toilet.

Lhoy and Jean were really lovely and hospitble. Jean was very attentive to our needs and cooked amazing local food with affordable price. Lhoy can help you with your itinerary if you haven't got one. He also provides tour packages and will be your own tour guide. The "bahay kubo" was nice and basic. If you like to experience the provincial Filipino life their place is perfect! You can hear the crickets, geckos, and frogs at night and the roosters in the morning. They don't have hot water for shower but the weather is too hot you wouldn't want a warm shower! The garden was amazing. Lots of orchids and other fruit bearing trees. They're place is about 3-4 kms from Chocolate Hills and Adventure Park. It is also near the public market.

The midnight cat fight

A wonderful hostel with the kindest owners I’ve met in Asia! Lhoy drove us in his little Tuk Tuk to catch the sunset at his secret spot and then drove us the the chocolate hills complex to catch the sunrise which was beautiful and also empty of tourists! His wife Jean cooked us tasty meals and the place was full of fun and laughter! A backpackers dream 🙏

The only thing is the army of roosters in the neighbourhood. They start doing noise at 3:30 am every single day. So better buy very good earplugs :D

Awesome stay! I must say that the pics were not too much appealing at first, but when I saw the reviews I told myself that I must try it! Owners are very lovely. We used to have a grear dinner with other backpackers for 200 pesos. I met great people there and it is close to the chocolate hills. It is possible to rent a bike as well, if you want to explore the further locations.

Stubbing my little toe and losing a toenail - lol ...which our hosts aided in repaing using a local remedy until a bottle of iodine was fetched.

The hostel is nestled amongst a small rural community providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of busier centres. We enjoyed the bungalow experience, it was a pleasant closer to earth moment allowing the sounds of nature (crickets, lizards & gekos) to lull us to sleep. By day, I highly recommend renting a motorcycle if you're a rider, to zip around the various tourist spots or other hidden gems... The hosts have abundant local knowledge of the tours and when is best to enjoy them. Our hosts were very accommodating, friendly and socialable ensuring our stay was everything we hoped it would be. The meals are second to none, local cuisine at its best! - We've made a life long connection with Lhoy, Jean and Alvie :-) This is a simple grounding stay, one we will do again in the future, cannot recommend enough but do consider a stay longer than 3 nights in order to fit in the many activities.

It is pretty rural and somewhat primitive but it was good to be out of our comfort zone.

Lhoy and Jean were great hosts - very accommodating and made us feel at home. Food was excellent and really helpful with activities.

I have been in a lot of hostels, I even worked in hostels. This is an amazing place. I have never seen nicer people managing a hostel. Everything is very clean, they take of every little detail. Thank you so much to the whole family!

The hosts are so nice and provide breakfast and dinner for you were you sit down with the other guest. I really had a familiar feeling there because it’s not a big place so you know everybody who is staying there. You get everything what you can see online on the pictures- it’s simple but still comfortable! The surrounding is beautiful so you can rent a scooter there to get around, but if you don’t want to drive Lhoy is going to drive you!

Not a thing. All good!

Wonder Phillipio family, amazing home cook meals, fabulous central Bohol location, affordable, and all Good. They also have access to an amazing sunset/sunrise tall hill overlooking chocolate hills! It's better than the government complex and without the tourists! If in Bohol come here for a great Filipino family cultural experience! Stay HUMBLE and Curtious in Phillipines, and these wonderful people will admit nothing but love.

Nothing.

Lovely host, Jean will take care of you and make you feel like home. She cooked the best dinner I have had in Philippines. Place is even more beautiful than in pictures and the shared room was so cute. Toilet and shower are outside but they were everytime shiny clean! I recommend the sunset hike with hosts! This place is far from crowds but in a perfect location if you want to explore the countryside of Bohol.

Everything was perfect, highly recommend

This is one of the best places I've ever stayed! Lhoy and Jean are so kind. They help you with everything, where to go, what to see. Jeans food is delicious. We had a day spent with Lhoy taking us to his locals lookout of the Chocolate hills and he took us sightseeing for the day. It was awesome. The room itself is so comfortable, the gardens beautifully kept, kitchen well equipped and bathrooms were great! Thank you so much.

I loved everything.

It was probably my favourite stay in the Philippines. Both Lhoy and Jean are exceptional hosts. Lhoy taught me how to ride a scooty and I can’t have the words to describe how grateful I feel. Jean makes the best food and will make sure you are always well fed. I really felt at home and would definitely come back to stay again. Thank you so much for the hospitality and a warm stay.

Bring earplugs, it is noisy as you’re out in nature - but that is what made it really fun and special!

we had such a great stay, they gave us lots of information and help which made it really easy for us. The breakfast and dinner was really good, the hostel was very sociable with other travellers, and we felt really welcomed

Lhoy and Jean were the most amazing hosts. They provided us with plenty of information and helped us with any questions we had. Family dinners were great, lots of very yummy food and a great way to get to know other travellers. I wish we could have stayed longer!

The host family is incredible nice. One of the best parts was the (optional) communal dinner every night. Very good home cooked Filipino food. And really cheap as well.

Stayed in March 2024

No really, completely nothing to complain about. I wish I could stay for longer.

Staying in this hostel itself is a great experience! In the middle of countryside, fresh air, birds, great meals. Jhoy and Jean are excellent hosts. They accepted us as part of family, took us to family parties, cooked us great meals, showed around, tool to hidden secret places... I was staying in a bungalow, and all facilities a traveler could need were available. If you need anything - a guide, a scooter,a tuctuc, early breakfast or any other help, just ask them!

It was exactly what I was looking for, so I really can’t fault it

My favourite hostel in over 6 months of travelling! Lhoy and Jean are such welcoming hosts, always helpful and doing everything they can to ensure you have a brilliant stay! It felt like a home for the 3 nights I stayed there and I particularly enjoyed everyone coming together in the evening to eat (always delicious) home-cooked dinner like a family and get an early night. The dorm is open to outside, so you feel like you’re in the garden (which also means you may get woken up by the neighbours’ cockerels in the early morning, so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper).

Stayed in March 2024

Nothing. Its basic and similar to camping, but everything is clean and comfortable.

Amazing experience with a lovely family that will help you with anything you need during your stay. Loads of tips and information about the area and things to do, great central location to explore the island. Lovely breakfast and traditional Filipino food is amazing!

Lhoy and Jean are the best hosts! Super friendly and helpful, a really nice hostel, offers dinners and breakfasts so you can eat together with other guests, good for a solo traveller!

Low water pressure in one of the showers but other then that, nothing bad to say!

I really enjoyed my 2 nights at Lhoy and Jeans place, they are wonderful people and made delicious dinner and breakfast! It’s clean and all you need close to the chocolate hills. I arrived in time for family dinner together with the other people staying there, witch was an warm welcome. I would stay longer if I had time😇
