The property grounds are really nice. Lovely garden in the centre of the property. The restaurant is outside looking into the garden. Nice made to order breakfast. They have a swimming pool aswell, (possibly communal). Unfortunately, not much to do in the area. Other restaurants are about a mile away, and the centre is more than 2 miles away. The staff were all very friendly and polite throughout my stay.

I love the staff, Irene and Loi is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. They both go over and beyond my expectations. The Garden is beautiful and large. Picnic table is available for guest. I was able to bring food and have my family eat our dinner together in a picnic table. They let us cook our rice and cold water is available for us to use.
There’s kettle to use although it’s shared, it’s useful to make coffee. Bath soap is provided but no shampoo and conditioner. There’s glasses and coffee mugs provided and safe box in the room.There’s table and chair in every room to sit with your friends. Friends or family are welcome to visit and they are so welcoming. I felt really home here.
Downside, I got insects bites. It’s normal though when you’re in nature.
Thank you Balay Tuko. I will be back.

I wasn’t comfortable staying in this place. There is no room service . The place is so far from stores and restaurant. Transportation to the city not that accessible and it’s hard to contact a taxi. There is no constant receptionist available . No intercom or phone to call the reception area. Servers in their restaurant are not well trained to cater to the customer’s needs . No refrigerator in the room to stock some foods considering that no room service and the distant to buy easy food stuffs .

Very poor service, most basic hotel

The hotel is in the middle of nowhere down a dark Road, it is managed by what seems children (no exaggeration) don't expect anything from the hotel, Upon arrival told to fill in form not told about wifi, breakfast, Area, services available and if you ask for anything they don't know, won't help. Breakfast is available at extra cost but thats it no other food is available which means either walking down a pitch black Road to local mall(1km away) or getting an uncomfortable tricycle which involves the abligatory haggling/argument - they won't go lower than 2/3 times what the locals pay. Mall only has fast food so you won't Wat anything local. If you try and order a takeaway as option reception won't help with it, just hand you a phone and you have to pay 'corkage charge' to them on top. Wifi is unusable anywhere, no tea/coffee facilities and nothing in room I. E fridge, shampoo, hand towel.... They offer laundry but when asked they said go to laundry house in City? Like I know where that is. They offer tours which is the only time they are talkative as presumably they get commission, but some tours offered like Honda Bay at 1200p per person are only a 5k taxi away so a rip off.If you want a room in the quiet then go for it but you have to go out for food, wifi, phone signal and the reception is manned by the owners children. It was a very poor experience, I'm backpacking and I don't expect much.

Very rude owner/manager

Do not stay here! The owner from Belgium at the front desk is a jerk. Expedia had asked for reviews of hotel and answered a few questions. They relayed this information to owner. He confronted me regarding the lack of amenities. When we told him about the lack of breakfast, fridge, shampoo etc he got very defensive and said what do you expect for 2000 pesos (60.00) that we paid. Firthermore we had told him he had been very rude to us and shockingly he said if you don't like it you can leave. We also needed to arrange a van ride to another city and would not let us make a call because of our comment. He also shut off the WiFi after that. Totally shocked at his behaviour, this is no way to run an establishment. He obviously doesn't care about his guests. We will never be back.

Excellent place to stay.

Extremely clean, friendly staff, quite AC and overhead fan as well! Did I mention both fan and AC were quite!! If you're noise sensitive then you will appreciate this! Breakfast was good and affordable. Great entrance corridor which consists of an arch with the roots of vines hanging down creating a pleasing effect which is sure to bring a smile to your face. Like in most of the Philippines the Wi-fi is not the greatest. I found few places in the Philippines which the connection was acceptable. Hey, this is a developing country so it's all good! This place has a nice pool with a pleasingly designed roof as well. Nice quaint grounds. They use CFL's on the premises and apparently have solar panels on the roof over the pool. A generator serves the guests electrical needs when the power goes out, only the AC will not function during power outages. Fantastic! Hot water as well! There is some sort of big dinner on Sunday nights that we did not figure out until too late, so if you're there on Sunday ask for the sitrap. You have to order dinner and breakfast the night before. Me and my fiancee loved this place and would book again should we return to Puerto Princesa!

When in Puerto Princesa, STAY HERE!

I only stayed for one night and most of the next day after driving in from El Nido ahead of our flight the next day....but I wish I could have stayed longer! Located in a quiet area not far off the main road is the perfect location from the noise and traffic of Puerto Princesa. Beautiful, quiet and serene atmosphere with trees and plants as you enter. Rooms are large and very clean. Even though I did not have the time to use the pool, it was the largest and best looking pool I have seen anywhere at any hotel. You can do serious laps in this pool. I used the morning for the half day city tour but I was allowed to keep my things in the room until I got back....was able to take a shower and eat lunch there before before departing for the airport. Owners and staff really allowed me to make the most of the short time that I had there. But I would recommend this highly to anyone staying in Puerto Princesa.

Great Experience

We stayed in the Philippines for a total of 30 days and this is one of the best stays we had. The staff members are super friendly and the owners couldn't have been more accommodating. We had trouble with our email and needed to use their computer and even their email address for some documents we had to retrieve for a tour coming up. They even sat at the computer when things got tough. Best free breakfast, best shower, most hot water, best welcome drink (real coconut milk from a carved coconut), fascinating grounds and surroundings tucked away for privacy. This is a definite repeat when we return.

Nice hotel in a quiet (and poor) part of town.

The hotel is very nice and has a B&B feel to it. The breakfast is good although not included in the room rate. It is a bit far from the airport so take a jeepney for the cheapest rate or a tricycle for 100-150 pesos. There isn't much to do around the hotel but there is a pretty nice shopping mall about 20-30min walking away.

This was a perfect stay for a couple nights in Puerto Princesa before moving on to other places on Palawan. The free shuttle met our flight, the cold fresh coconut water was refreshing upon arrival and the owners and staff couldn't be friendlier and more helpful. The rooms are immaculate and the breakfast was superb. Only downside was the location in a local neighborhood, even though there is a very good Vietnamese restaurant within walking distance.

Hidden Gem

Hotel is slightly out of town but an excellent value. The only drawback is the availability of transportation out of the hotel location after dark. You can't walk to the main road because the rain frequently washes out the dirt road turning it to mud and impassable pools of water. The tricycles rarely have a reason to pass by the hotel and if they do they are full of passangers. The hotel was kind enough to provide free transportation on occasion but this was a little limiting. The have a beautiful pool, the gardens are well mainatined. The managment is solid and were able to arrange very good tours to the local sights. I would stay there again and would reccomend the location to travelers looking for a great value.

Fin plass for en rolig natt

Et fint sted som er stille og helt greit om du skal bare ha et sted og sove.

Plassen ligger litt anonymt til, der er ingenting rundtom, men det er tilgjengelig transport i form av trikes rett utenfor døren og hotellet kan skaffe deg transport i resepsjonen (ppc)

Hotellet er ganske nytt, rommene har bra standard, men noen småting burde taes tak i (løse vasker, dårlig fuging på bad, aircondition som levde sitt eget liv av og til)

Det er bare sporadisk bemanning i resepsjonen, dette er opplyst om, er ikke noe problem da du bare huker tak i noen som jobber der så kommer dem og ordner ut for deg.

Vi brukte ikke wifien da den ikke dekket alle rommene skikkelig så bortsett fra den ikke dekker alle rom kan jeg ikke si noe om kvaliteten på tilkoblingen.

Det er eget stort svømmebasseng på området med takdekning og godt med sitteplasser, dem serverer mat her og det ligger en liten bodega rett over gaten om man skulle trenge noe mer.

Bra med adkomst, her er ikke noen trafikkproblemer i dette området, 3-4 private parkeringsplasser som ingen andre tar og en får kjøre inn på området for av/pålessing.

Plassen er fullstendig innegjerdet og rommene har gode safer, trygg, stille og grei plass totalt.
