    A little far from San Juan which is where most of the restaurants are, about 25 mins. But close to Lazi so we ate a couple of nights at Twenty Four which is v good!

    Good location for exploring most of the island if you have a scooter. Nice and quiet. Opposite max monkey if u fancy going for a few drinks.

    As we were near the front of the property, it was noisy in the mornings - dogs, roosters, people chatting, motorbikes starting (parked outside our room). There isn't much you can do (earplugs?) but being in room one or two you're probably at a bit of a disadvantage as you're closer to reception. It wasn't a deal breaker for us, we stayed for 6 nights.

    I thought the location was fine, you do have to hire a scooter but I think you would have to do that anywhere as all of the highlights are across the whole island. We got a great price for our scooter from Xylla Guesthouse. You are close to the waterfalls, the small town Lazi and there are a handful of great restaurants in the local area if you have a little look on google maps. The room was basic, the air condition was powerful, there was a table and chairs in the room, seating outside the room, we got given some toiletries as well.

    Fantastic stay for what you are paying (very affordable). Sure there are ants in the room, but this is to be expected for the price! Staff are very friendly, Marina welcomed us in as family and showed us some of her edible plants on her land. She cooked us some of the best food we ate on the island (breakfast and dinner available by request). Great location to waterfalls, balette tree and access to mountains. Really, it's central to everything but you need a motorbike (which she rents for cheapest on the island) to explore. Mad Monkey is across the road for food or meeting people. Also there is karaoke machine, we had a lot of fun singing with the family one night :)

    I enjoyed my stay.

    A quiet location on a property with some cute farm animals. It was very close to swimming spots, waterfalls and attractions. It was convenient having a motorbike and driving a short distance to the local town for the fresh food markets, eateries and some secondhand shops. Marina was a lovely host and was very hospitable. I really liked being able to order meals from her too - she’s a great cook! The room had a fan, a decent shower and the bed was comfortable.

    Just a note that the standard double room is fan only - after an uncomfortable night, we ended up paying extra for AC which was much better. Please note there is no hot water at this accommodation.

    Clean and free water refills. Close to waterfalls and away from the hustle and bustle. Able to rent motorbike from owners for a decent price. AC worked well!

    Our arrival was quite strange as the owners weren't there and the child didn't know anything about our arrival. The following days the family wasn't really there and it was quite hard to get in contact with them if there was something needed.

    It's a good and affordable place. When the family was there, they were quite helpful and we were able to ask every night for hot water. They have like four different WiFis, so it's a great chance that one is working like in our case. All in all not a bad place to stay!

    I understand that the Philippines are a tropical area and that ants and other animals are a normal thing, but the amount of ants and dirt (especially some kind of animal poo) in the two rooms I had was just absurdly. I did switch rooms because I hoped an other room would be cleaner, which was not the case because it ended up to be even worse. In addition to the ants, animal poo and other things there were spiders as big as my hand in my second room which caused me to be up all night because I literally could hear them walk on the walls. I left the Guesthouse earlier because I couldn’t bear it anymore. I’m sorry to say this but for me it was maybe the worst and dirtiest accommodationI had in my life.

    I stayed in a few different rooms. Both the a/c room and fan economy room were good value for money. Some nights were cool so I had the fan on and window open and it was perfect temperature. There is a mosquito net in the window so no mosquitos were inside. Good level of cleanliness. They offer laundry services here and I was happy with my washing. Good scent. Nice to see a karaoke machine in the main lobby.
