The hotel was in the middle of a land dispute, so the entrance was a building site with armed guards and corrugated iron fencing. Access to the hotel was a dangerous dirt track. I fell and injured my wrist. We had requested twin beds in advance and were given doubles. They even failed to change them to twin beds when I asked on day 1. I had to book another room at further cost. The facilities were limited with no bar and the decor was very tired. Really did not enjoy staying there and feel I should not have had to pay full cost as the hotel was not as described.

My stay at Hotel Soffia was overall not bad because the staff were very friendly, especially the drivers for the shuttle service, they were always smiling and ready to help but when it comes to the overall property it was a bit disappointing because the room I booked was for 3 people and I expected to stay at atleast a bedroom with 2 beds but instead they gave me rolling bed that kept rolling when I moved and the bed was very uncomfortable to sleep in. I suffered from back pain for a bit.
Let me just say that my parents and I are not small people and so I addressed my complaints to front desk and asked if they could give me a bigger room with 2 beds and the staff basically just replied “oh it’s how our rooms are” he said he could upgrade me if it’s still not up to my standards but they didn’t even really check my room to see if there’s anything they could help more since when I got back to my room the room was still dirty and no upkeep at all.
I stayed there for 4 days and my room was never touched by housekeeping even once, I didn’t even really see a housekeeper roaming around the halls of the hotel so that’s a bit concerning because cleanliness is huge for me.
When I first got there the rag for the washroom was soaking wet and I also told front desk and they didn’t really do anything. It was a waste of breath
I probably wouldn’t stay here again, location is a bit far but the property is nice don’t get me wrong. Pool and garden area is beautiful. Such a shame

Excellent accommodations...

We really enjoyed our stay. We had two rooms for 3 nights. At this time, there is a lot of construction going on in Boracay, and we were concerned on our initial trip from the jetty to the hotel, but were very happy when the van arrived, at the top of the hill, it was simply lovely with a beautiful view. There is a panoramic view of the ocean. The restatans pool area was lovely. The hotel staff greeted us with a shell necklace and a welcoming drink. The included breakfast was very good. The staff was excellent and very personable. WiFi was spotty but that’s not unique to that hotel. The free shuttle was very convenient to getting to shopping and the beach. When we arrived, our room air conditioner was not operating efficiently and the maintenance personnel replaced it in 10 minutes. I brought up not to complain about the AC (things happen), but to illustrate how customer/service oriented the staff is. When we return to Boracay, there is no doubt that we will return to this hotel.

Full-service hotel w/ high quality food

GF and I had a real nice stay at this hotel while in Boracay for a few days. It's away from the main hub of D'Mall (about 15 min away) on the island, but there are free shuttles every hour, or can hop on a trike for $3. In a quiet location, other than those crazy roosters that seem to inhabit every island in the country and start hollering at 4am haha. Staff was extremely friendly and eager to make guests comfortable, fairly typical in the service-oriented Philippines. Loved the free breakfast, and their kitchen made good food for any meal, and very affordable. Room clean, and didn't have ants like many other hotels in the country.

Very affordable room rates, esp. considering Boracay probably the most expensive area of Philippines. Only issues were that the AC was not very powerful and took a while to cool the room. Also, we used their laundry service and were charged an egregious amount in our opinion, nearly as much as we paid for 3 nights at the hotel!

Overall recommend though.

Beautiful place!

Excellent place. Owner is REALLY polite and he is willing to work with the staff (not boss around workers) such as waiting tables and providing hospitality. When an owner is not too proud to wait on customers such as he (even though he has plenty of staff to do it for him), it makes a BIG difference. I appreciate his kindness and gestures in making sure his guests are happy.

I was worried at first that it was too far from the main beach and D-Mall, but again the owner made sure his guests would be happy by providing a free shuttle service to the middle of the tourist attractions. The shuttle service was provided from the morning all the way til midnight!!! Really convenient!!!

I would definitely stay again. In fact, I extended my stay there.

PS. Don't forget to go to the top of the hotel to enjoy an excellent view of the island. Beautiful!!! He should make a cafe up there or a bar.

Overall a good hotel/resort to stay at in Boracay. Boracay has always been in my list of destination everytime I visit Philippines. The room is decent with size and the bed, although we had to change room reason being that the first room we got had a leak in the bathroom and it got flooded. The staff responded very quickly and moved us to a different room. The food is not bad, they have a pretty good breakfast menu, but other meals are mediocre though there's plenty of restaurants and cafe's once you get down to the beach.

Friendly staff, shuttle every hour and pool.
I would recommend staying here for people looking for a decent accommodation that are on a budget.

Ok but clean

My boyfriend and I booked a king bed room. They gave us a room with two single beds. They put the two beds together and called it a \"king bed\". We have to sleep separate as it was super uncomfortable to sleep in the middle of two beds. We required to change to a room with one king bed. They said the only option was to pay extra 1200peso per night to have an upgrade. The hotel is far away from the dmall. The hote offers shuttle bus which is pretty helpful. Overall the hotel is ok. Room is small but clean n view is pretty good. However I would probably not choose it again tho.

We will DEFINITELY CHOOSE this hotel AGAIN

I could be critical when it comes to customer service, but this one I'd say has really satisfied me and made my vacation memorable and stress-free.

I booked this hotel via Expedia because of the low price, nice view from the posted photos and good reviews from Trip Advisor. As a mom, I always have to calculate the budget and this was what we could afford. I was preparing myself to be at least a bit disappointed because as we say - you get what you pay for. Surprisingly it exceeded my expectations. We were very happy customers.

Quiet and good hotel service

Me and my friend booked a deluxe room with a balcony overlooking the whole island. Our stay is very satisfactory with the hotel's cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. Daily breakfast is a buffet with a number of food choices and average taste. Though, the location of the hotel is far from the beach front (station 1-3), its a pleasant and quiet location made it different from other hotels and they do offer beach shuttle every hour until 12mn which made it more convenient. Overall brief stay in the hotel is good and recommendable.

Review of Hotel Soffia

The hotel is nicely located up a hill just off the turn off to Balinghai Beach. It has nice views especially during sunset.

It quite far from the central D Mall at Station 2. However, there is an hourly shuttle to/from the hotel to D Mall at Station 2 and it takes 15 minutes for the one way trip. It quite convenient most of the time but there were times when it was too crowded to get onto the shuttle and had to wait for a backup shuttle from the hotel. This happens when the hotel if filled with guest and during the popular evening slots (8.15,9.15 and 10.15pm).

The staff were very helpful and service was excellent. Overall it nice place to stay if you want to get away from the crowds at White Beach and if don't mind the minor inconvenience of the shuttle service.

The staff was friendly and did their best to accommodate me. However, I had no hot running water. Their suggestion to run the water for a while still did not make any warm water come out.

A perfect stay during Typhoon Ruby

I would have to admit, I rarely provide reviews unless I've had an amazing experience. I'm a strong believer of praises, not punishment but I also think bad reviews should be provided directly to the Hotel and not on a review site as it can be very subjective.

The hotel upon approach was stunning! So well designed and we were welcomed with a beautiful shell necklace by the staff. They organized the transfers with ease to and from Caticlan airport. This was something I appreciated.

The staff were courteous at all times and it wasn't hard for my mother and I to tip them everytime they assisted us.

Arturo was a pleasure to chat too. He is truly a welcoming and possibly the most relaxed hotel manager I've ever encountered.

The apartment was clean and the size for the price I paid for was outstanding. The bathroom had full facilities and even consisted of free toiletries and an extra set of toilet paper, which is lack in most hotels in the Philippines. The balcony allowed ample breeze to enjoy the natural surrounds of Boracay. This is truly the best part, is opening the balcony doors to allow the fresh air to come in. After staying a week and a half in Manila, fresh air is a commodity. I also loved how the shower had full pressure and we were on the second floor.

Food was OUTSTANDING! The selection of Authentic Philippine cuisine really stood out.

The shuttle transfers to and from White beach was fantastic!

Away from the Buzz

We moved from a beachfront hotel to Soffia for a different experience. It has a good view from the hill top, its away from the buzz and it has an hourly shuttle service. It's not for couple who visited Boracay for the first time because we missed being in the beachfront where we could just jump in the Boracay waters. Its more for a family sort of a hotel or those who had been to Bora several times and would want a peaceful vacay. The rooms are clean although the hallways can be eerie because there are only few guests. I want to commend the driver of the shuttle. He always had the smile on his face and confirms that although new he loves his job. Handling people for a long, it always makes my day to hear others be expressive about how they like their job. So if you want privacy and just relax while still get the chance to experience Bora, Soffia is a good choice.

Perfect Getaway if you want it nice and quiet

White beach hotels are usually crowded with people. What I liked about our stay at Hotel Soffia was the relaxed ambience of the rooms and the pool. It wasn't too crowded and the hotel staff were accommodating. I like the peace and quiet.

If you're a party person and loves the beach, Hotel soffia is a far place (15 minute ride) to Dmall but they provide shuttle every hour.

The only thing I didn't like about the hotel was the unpresentable cleaning pushcart that greets us as we walk down the hallway. I wish they could hide it if it's not being used.

Less than we expected

Prior to arriving in Boracay, we emailed and confirmed several times with the hotel that they would be providing transportation to the hotel (this is included in your stay). However, we waited for over an hour at the boat dock and even had to find someone to call the hotel several times. In the end we still had to pay for our own separate transportation because the promised hotel shuttle never showed up. When we finally arrived at the hotel, the staff showed no concern and never apologized for not picking us up. It was not a warm welcome to the island. The hotel itself was in a beautiful location, with views looking out to the water on all sides. The rooms and interior looked better in the photos but were ok. The beds were flimsy and uncomfortable. There is no safe in the rooms - you need to keep things with the front desk staff in locked boxes. The restaurant staff were kind and accommodating but honestly the food was so bad we chose to pay to eat out rather than eat the free breakfast. The shuttle to the beach was very convenient, it ran on schedule and was consistent.

However I wasn't satisfy with the room conditions. The shower room is small n water not so powerful especially when too many people having bath in the same time.

I like this place...away from the noise and crowds at white beach but accessible if that is your cup of tea via the hourly van to d'mall. Location is vvery nice as in a hilltop so very nice views of ocean and sunset. Close to a couple of the lesser frequented beaches like puka beach and punta bunga. Check out punta bunga before the massive resort there is finish...there is a little cove there with the crystal blue water and white beach right out of a post card and no crownds...yet. Must pay resort fee but is applied to consumables. Short walk from the hotel. Puka beach is farther and more crowded but still pretty nice...much more so than white beach in my opinion.

Hotel Soffia is a keeper!

I LOVED my stay at Hotel Soffia. I didn't want the crowds and the noise so I took a chance on Soffia. It was perfect for me. Yes, it was further away than most of the other hotels and not on the beach but I had great views, peaceful, quiet evenings, great food and the staff was really really nice. The coolest thing about Soffia was every hour on the hour the shuttle took whoever wanted to go down to D'Mall. This was a great service. And when you were finished on the main beach just be at the bus stop at D'Mall at :15 after the hour and the bus was there to take you back to Soffia! And... Soffia's location made it absolutely perfect for short trips to Puka Beach where it was way less crowded. I was much happier there than the overcrowded main beach where it was impossible to get that postcard shot of the sunset without 50 people in your picture.

hotel was 15 minutes away from the main area (D'mall) but that wasn't a problem because there was a free shuttle going to and fro the area every hour. staff was friendly and greeted us every morning when we went to the lobby. breakfast choices were limited but that wasn't a problem for me since i'm not much of a breakfast person. small infinity pool added an interesting touch to the hotel. the welcome drink tasted really good and they hung shell necklaces around our necks. the hotel was kept clean, however there were problems with the shower which clogged up, and the water kept alternating between ice cold and burning hot. we had a blackout a couple of times in the room and there was a particular light that kept going on and off by itself. that was rather annoying but we just ignored it. toilet bowl also sometimes flushed on its own. coupled with the lights, that was pretty creepy but i guess we got used to it after the second day. toileteries were included (toothbrush toothpaste soap shampoo ear buds shower cap) and i thought that was a nice touch. stayed for 6d5n and i thought overall it was fine. no wifi in the room though - hafta go down to the lobby to get it but that wouldnt be a problem if you can tether it from your phone.

Quiet Respite Away From Main Road

I was very satisfied with my stay at Hotel Soffia. The hotel is situated away from the main party strip in Boracay, so you could always get your rest when you need it. Considering the hotel's distance from the main strip, the hotel offers a free hourly shuttle to Station 2, which I used everyday. In addition, the hotel is a short walk from the main road, so it was easy for me to pick up basic supplies from a local shack. The hotel is very pretty and designed uniquely. My room was big, clean and bright. The hotel cafe is poolside and they have a wide range of food items. The hotel also provided me free transportation to the jetty port for my flight back. To improve the hotel, they should consider getting wifi routers for the rooms. Overall, the wifi service in the lobby and cafe is quite poor and I think it wouldn't cost too much to improve that. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay. Great room for the price.

Far From The Action

The hotel was farther that what I expected. Boracay is all about the beach and at this time of the year the water is pristine and the crowd is tolerable. The location is really far from station 1. Transportation to and from the beach is schedule every hour though but if you like to commute on your own then you have to shell out some cash. Entrance from the street to the hotel lobby is a bit far. When we get there we were soak in the rain no towels were extended. We requested for 1 queen bed and we got a conjoined 2 single bed which is a little bit difficult to sleep. Breakfast is ok and the pool was ok as well. Overall i'd still prefer a beach front resort. i've been to boracay more than 10 times so lesson learn.

Quiet family vacation

Good to stay there, it is quiet and serene, staff is helpful. Unfortunately there is some development/squatters appearing in surrounding areas, so there in latter years goes the neighborhood. Now it is still peaceful and can get to White Beach with a van in 15 minutes, no problem. Definitely at its best now during the off-season. Kids loved the pool, and we liked it as well. Recommend for families with max two kids.

Bad location

Travelling to and from hotel soffia wasted so much of our time, we have to be at d'mall ( budget mart) 10:15pm or else we might be sleeping somewhere else..We're totally dismayed on its location,'coz the road to go up the hotel wasn't asphalted that's why tricycles turned down their passengers.i won't even recommend it esp if it's 3days 2nites accommodation, luck of time exploring boracay..

Pizza there is very good!

not too bad but also not too good too, just a holiday inn. The swimming pool is good, and Hawaii pizza is quite delicious. Room electricity was cut down twice in a night which awaked me twice because too hot. Anyway,compared to other hotels at same price,it's OK.

Peaceful Hotel, Friendly Service Minded Staff

This hotel is off the beaten track of White Beach. It offers amazing views of both sides of the island. Transportation to and from the hotel are offered by the hotel, or getting a trike is a small cost.
Our room was on the north side. Ask for a room on floor 3 for a better view. Floor 3 also has a very lovely observation deck where one can admire the sunsets.
The room was small and adequate, cleaned each day, and well used. Unfortunately, my husband was very sick for 3 days from eating at Munchies at Bulabog Beach. He got his money’s worth given he didn't leave the room for a few days!
The hotel staff was very accommodating, one of the drivers even picked up yogurt for my husband on one of his town trips. Thank you for your efforts! The restaurant has good food and serves a generous portion (unlike many restaurants at White Beach). Breakfast could be improved by adding fresh fruit to the buffet.
The deluxe room has more amenities. There is plenty of hot water and there is NO musty smell in the room.
This hotel has a very respectful management team. One can see the managers conversing with the hotel workers. On one of my chats with the driver, he told me he admires and is very happy because he is treated fairly and with respect from his supervisors. A great working environment speads to happy workers and happy clients!

Soffia, I would recommend it to anyone.

Upon arrival - late in the evening, they ran to us an greeted us, like we were long lost relatives or distinguished guests putting lays - necklaces of sea shells on us. We felt very safe their, and ate the breakfast their, it was good. Their staff was extremely accommodating. If I ever go back to Boracay, i will certainly stay at the Soffia. Price was good, cleanliness was good, staff was very friendly, and Most of all - You feel very safe there.

Homey and comfortable

I've stayed at the Hotel Soffia twice. It's a small, friendly hotel atop a hill, with views of the ocean. Peaceful setting. Beautful swimming pool. I was suprised and happy to find that the staff remembered me on the second visit. I did have one problem with the reception desk staff failing to convey an important message to me. And it should be noted that there is no elevator; guest on higher floors will have quite a few stairs to climb. But overall, the Soffia doesn't disappoint.

If anyone is looking to stay at a hotel that's away from the commotion and need peace and quiet, this is the perfect hotel. It's on top of the mountain and away from everything. Its a bit of a drive from the ferries, but the hotel offers free shuttle. Now, if u want to be in the middle of the commotion, the mall, beach and the adventures then its not the hotel to be at unless u don't mind the drive there. There are beach front hotels that are in thee

Great Place

Fantastic place in a very beautiful remote location. The rooms were fabulous, the staff in the hotel were amazing. Huge king-sized bed, standing shower & bath, fantastic views. The manager went above & beyond to help me out when I had a medical emergency (don't go horseback riding in Boracay). The only thing is that the hotel is a bit removed from the beaches and main party areas and the surrounding neighborhood doesn't have a lot to do (no nightlife). I would definitely stay here again.

No it is not a five star but the Hotel Soffia is definitely a GEM. The hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of the over pressuring Boracay attraction vendors and tourist crowd. It sits atop a small mountain offering an outstanding view. I stayed during a full moon in April. The wonderful staff made up for any short comings that the hotel had. The hotel offers a very peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable stay. I will return to Hotel Soffia during my next visit to Boracay.

일부러 시내에서 숙박을 원하지 않아서 조금 멀리있는 호텔을 찾았어요. 정말 대만족이었습니다. 아침마다 근처에 닭들과 개들이 우는 소리에 깨는거 말고는 시내와 동떨어져있어서 조용하고 숙박하는 사람들도 많지 않아서 좋았어요. 특히 아시안들이 많이 없고 외국인들이 많아서 덜 관광지 같아서 좋았습니다. 조식은 기억이 잘 나지않지만 수영장은 작지도 크지도 않고 물도 깨끗했고 호텔도 전체적으로 깔끔하고 정리가 잘 되어있었어요. 엘레베이터는 없습니다. 유럽 시골의 있는 숙박시설 느낌입니다. 방은 아주 심플하며 깨끗했어요. 직원들도 서글서글 좋았습니다. 다음에 가도 또 묵을것 같아요. 추천!

휴식을 위한 공간

저는 이 호텔을 세번 째 방문했습니다.
직장인이다 보니 겨율철 휴식을 위한 장소로 사용하고 있습니다.
사실 제주도가 제일 좋은 데 겨울이라 추워서 매년 겨울 따뜻하고 가성비 좋은 보라카이를 찾습니다.
그런데 최근 주변 난개발로 닭소리가 많이 들리고, 디몰까지 셔틀이동시간도 두 배 이상 늘어나서 아쉽네요.

글쎄요.

번화가의 소음에 질려서 택한 한적한 위치의 호텔입니다. 예상대로 주위는 매우 조용했습니다.
하지만 오래된 에에컨 소음과 방안의 비상조명등의 소음이 메인로드의 소음과 맏먹는 효과를 가져왔습니다. 룸에 커피포트나 헤어드라이어는 구비되어 있지 않았고 유료 와이파이를 4일동안 쓰기위해 체크인시 200페소를 지불했으나 체크아웃시 지불되지 않았다며 재지급을 요구당했습니다. 영수증이 있냐며 따지는데 받질 못했으니 당연히 없었죠. 결국 200페소를 다시 지불해야 했습니다. 마찮가지로 영수증은 주지 않더군요.이건 호텔 문제는 아니지만 위치가 디몰에서 멀리 떨어진 언덕쪽에 있어서 트라이시클을 이용해서 돌아오곤 했는데 기사에 따라 언덕이 높다며 호텔 까지 가지 않고 메인로드에 내려주는 일도 있었습니다. 이런 저런 이유로 다시 선택할 일은 없을것 같습니다.
