If I had to be picky.. the aircon isn't the best as it was quite loud but I'm a light sleeper. Take earbuds if you are too.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The views were incredible, the food was the best we've had in the Philippines and the location was perfect for diving/snorkelling with dugongs. There's a private pier that the dugong operator (dugong dive center) picks you up from. It is out the way from everything else but scooters are cheap to hire (and brought directly to the Riverhouse). If you like wildlife, it's nice for that too. We saw plenty of birds, lizards and a palawan stink badger! Lastly, hot water/pressure was fine. Would highly recommend. I'd love to go back one day.

The Riverhouse is beautifully nestled in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of Coron Town. The airport is within easy reach. Our bungalow was very spacious and modern. The food in the restaurant was always freshly prepared and very tasty. We booked the island hopping tour and enjoyed a wonderful day on really secluded beaches only for us. If, like us, you are looking for peace and seclusion, this is the place for you.

Everything was wonderful

Amazing room with breathtaking view and wonderful sunrise that wakes you up. Judith and her sister are just amazing, they organized eveything for us - scooter, transport and tours. We loved it.

This hotel is a gem thanks to the owner Judith and its staff, its amazing location overseeing a wonderful river and mangrove forrest and spacious, very comfortable, very clean and very quiet rooms. This was the best stay I’ve had in the Philippines and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in diving and relaxing. I want to thank Judith and her staff for providing an absolutely amazing experience, I felt like home, the food they provided was fresh and delicious. I’ll stay with “The Riverhouse” again when I’m back in Coron!

Nothing

The riverhouse is a little bit of paradise, set high above the river overlooking the mangroves and forest. The setting is magnificent. However what really makes this place so special is Judith, the owner, Bing ( hope I've spelt this correctly) and all the wonderful staff. They are so attentive, friendly and go out of their way to ensure that you have the best time here possible. We stayed here twice and on the first occasion my husband was sick. Judith and Bing both were so helpful in providing us with food to help, medication and advice. They showed a lot of concern . On our second visit we were to participate in many of the activities that Judith helped organise including seeing fireflies on the river, kayaking, snorkeling with dugongs and getting a massage in my room. The food is wonderful, with a great choice and a packed lunch and breakfast was provided when we left very early on a trip. This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay and I can highly recommend it.

Absolutely nothing to complain about! I only wished I could stay longer.

What an amazing place! Spacious room, comfortable bed, the staff is so welcoming and kind , and was very attentive to all our needs. Ms. Judith helped us organise visits and activities. The place is near the airport and about 40 min from Coron town. It’s an ideal location if you like peace and quiet. And of course you get stunning views! We look forward to returning next year.

The food was average but expected in such a remote place. The breakfast was really good though.

Amazing location and the staff were lovely. Definitely do the dugong trip and the diving there is amazing!!! You can also snorkel it if you are not a diver. Thank you so much Riverhouse for our lovely stay!

If you are planning to do island hopping better to stay in Town because pick and drop will be costly.

The place was so serene and you’ll definitely relax and enjoy your stay.

Judith and her team is amazing. What a wonderful experience. You are literally in the jungle with all the excursions that the town also has to offer. Will be back for sure.

Far from city center.

Environment, friendly staff, very relaxing place.

It’s not a negative point, you should just be aware and include in your planning that it’s not too easy & cheap to reach, which means you have to pay for transportation from the airport (15 minutes) or Coron Town (50 minutes).

We spent two nights at the Riverhouse on our honeymoon and we had an amazing time there! Judith and her team are very welcoming and kind and made our stay unforgettable. We loved the food, the beautiful view over the river and the jungle as well as the quiet and peace there. We highly recommend the private boat tour! We went to beautiful, remote beaches (white sand, crystal clear blue water!) and there was no one else!

This hotel is so responsible and cares about your trip plan so much. Even though the double booking due to the online system happened, this hotel helped us to book another fancy hotel and paid extra fee for us. Moreover, they do really care about our trip plan and offer us the van option to airport. It is like you do not have to worry about anything. Hope next time I could stay in this hotel and I would like to recommend this hotel so much.

The state of the hotel necessitates sound preventive maintenance, planning, and attention for future restoration work.

Beautiful area in the mountains overlooking the river. Rooms had air con and the food was fantastic!

Generally we liked everything. The shower was cold and of course, as everywhere in Palawan, electricity can be scetchy, but that is just a question of expectation management and was no problem for us. The electricity and thus AC always worked at night, which was the only important thing for us.

The location was very idyllic and quiet, far off the main touristy places. Exactly what we wished for. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and the food was extremely good at a great price. We did a kayak tour from the house to the ocean, which took about 45mins one way, and did the Dugong diving tour on our second day, which was very well organized by the Dugong Diving Center, in exchange with Judith from the Riverhouse, since they know each other well. Great start into our holiday!

We were picked up by the hotel owner on time for a small fee from the airport, a 15 minute drive to the hotel. On arrival we were very impressed with the prime location of the hotel affording wonderful views over the river and mangroves below the large terrace. Welcome drinks were appreciated and a tasty dinner in their restaurant was a good way to end the evening. We had a good sleep in a comfortable room with excellent facilities despite the slightly remote location, A/C , hot water etc. Good breakfast next morning and Judith was a lovely informative and kind host. Highly recommend :)

For us, the restaurant was a little stark but it was fairly quiet the night we stayed so we always had the excellent corner table with a view. Mr H, proprietor, recommended certain dishes which we did have, but I would have preferred to choose myself in hindsight, particularly as I didn't like the German sausage he thought was so great! My own fault for not listening to myself! Possibly there wouldn't have been much variety of things to do there if we'd stayed longer.

We liked the rural setting and views along the river from the restaurant (and, I understand, from most rooms, though ours had a limited view). The room was spacious with quiet air conditioning and a fan. It had a wide balcony with table and chairs. Well equipped with wardrobes etc and spacious bathroom. A good, extensive menu. We had a warm welcome and complimentary iced tea upon arrival in the restaurant. We really enjoyed hiring a kayak and rowing along the river and mangrove swamps.

Very basic massage and didn’t get the room we originally booked (although they compensated with free dinner)

Beautiful property, very sweet owners

our room looked out onto trees and bushes while other rooms seemed to have river views.

great view from the dining room and some of the rooms. Our room was very comfortable and spacious with a big balcony. Food was good, fairly priced and came in large portions. The private island hopping trip was excellent and reasonably priced. Judith was very helpful in all respects.
