    The room was narrow, as the bathroom for the price. For this price we had already had a much larger room and a swimming pool ... but ir seems Port Barton has not a lot of tourists and is more expensive ...

    Location was not too far from the beach. Room well decorated.

    We only had a small communication problem with the booking of our island hopping tour, which stressed us out in the morning. We had asked several times if the shared tour with only 3-4 stops was possible and it was confirmed to us several times that the tour we booked would only have 3-4 stops. We then booked a private tour on the beach because the shared tour had six stops. It cost us time and nerves, I think that was a one-off thing, but I wanted to mention it.

    Well located. Surrounded by great bars and restaurants. Everything within walking distance in a few minutes.

    I like the place but there's only 2 things I hope they will provide in eveey room, it's the bidet and an electric kettle that's missing.

    The staffs were very accomodating. I like the lush surroundings when you stepped out in your room, very relaxing to the eyes.

    Valerie was very accommodating and friendly and made a real positive difference to our stay. She sorted out all of our transport and boat trip which was at a good price and an amazing experience. The room was great and suited our needs.

    Small boutique villa type accommodation - modern clean and comfortable. Very friendly helpful staff and owner who can book boat tours around Port Barton and onward bus tickets. Scooter/motorbike available for hire. Laundry able to be done onsite for very small cost. Breakfast available with good selection. Good location- 5min walk to beach and restaurants.

    The room is very small and has a strange musty smell about it. The toilet doesn't have a door which is pretty odd. There is no kettle in the room, but the hosts will boil you some water for a coffee or tea if asked.

    The villa was set in a nice peaceful garden, just 5 mins walk out of town. It was nice as it was near where locals live and on the weekend lots of children and families were out and about.

    We had a lovely stay. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help, they organised an island hopping tour and transfer to Puerto Princessa. We had to amend the booking at short notice which they accommodated. Location is good, only a short walk to the beach and restaurants. The place is quiet at night so sleeping wasn’t a problem. The place very peaceful could have easily stayed longer. Would definitely recommend to others to stay here.

    The only thing I didn't like too much and didn't know beforehand is that the toilet had no door or anything. So privacy is not given at all.

    I really loved the staff. Valerie has the sweetest girls working there. Everybody was super helpful and made our stay even better :)

    The room was quite cramped for two people. Although the hotel offered a room change, we opted to switch hotels in search of one with a pool.

    I appreciate the convenient location and the staff's friendliness. The room was well-equipped with essentials like air conditioning and both warm and cold water options.

    The worst customer service ever!

    Well this was the worst experience we had in the Philippines. The room had a lot of ants, some mosquitoes and we even killed a cockroach inside the room. We could still forgive this, given that Valerie's space is a "little forest", however, knowing this, the room should be cleaned daily. It was never cleaned, which is unacceptable for one of the most expensive accommodations in Port Barton. Furthermore, there is no privacy between the bedroom and the bathroom as there is no division. The bed is not confortable and you don't fit if you are more than 1.8m tall. The worst part is the attention given to the customer in Valerie's space, in particular, Valerie herself, the owner of the space. First she was rude when we asked her what was the best price for the shuttle to Puerto Princesa. Secondly, we were promised that there would be someone to prepare breakfast at 6am, we waited until 6.45am, no one showed up. Finally, more serious, we asked a massage shop to come to the accommodation to give us a massage and the masseuses said that Valerie charged a fee. Valerie wanted to charge a 40% fee!!! With so much on offer and such friendly people in the Philippines, in particular in Port Barton, I don't consider this hotel to be even an option.

    The bathroom comodities were ok. The AC worked fine.

Valerie is a lovely person who arranged for us an incredible massage session at the hotel when we told her that my partner got back pain. I could stay there for a month if possible!

    We loved every bit of it.

    Very clean , beautiful area of Port Barton. Lovely rooms beautifully decorated wich invite you to unwind. Amazing breakfast and services with very helpful advice, recommendations, and the chance of booking amazing days out with the accommodation directly. The best of all was the team . Valerie and her team are the most amazing and genuine people we met during our time in the Philippines. Always made us laugh, and we had a great time on rainy days just chatting/chilling with them. If you are staying in Port Barton, do not hesitate! 1000% recommended.
