Loved the setting for our accommodation as it was out in nature and perfect to reset - we spent lots of time reading in our hammocks. Also lots of nearby activities to do such as chocolate hills, waterfalls, firefly tours. Some of the staff really went above and beyond to make us comfortable and allowed us to spend the day in the communal area after our check out. We found the street very charming to walk down as the locals are all very friendly there and said hello.

Would be great if you could rent paddleboards to use without a guide to explore yourself, unfortunately we found it too expensive for both of us to do the guided tour. Accommodation is far from the town (which adds to its charm) so we relied on the onsite kitchen for a lot of the food. We ordered food after our firefly tour at 20.00 and were told to order “simple things” as there was only 1 person working in the kitchen - it would have been nice to order what we wanted at the time. Weather was beautiful during our stay but we found it quite hot to sleep at night, a more powerful fan would be appreciated.

Really nice place to stay! Staff is really cool and gives you great tips about what's around. It's really quiet as well. I highly recommend this place if you want to explore Bohol

The hotel is really basic, don’t expect luxury. You will find animals such as spiders, ants or frogs. We didn’t have any in the toilet, room or bathroom though. Also the restaurant was clean and nice. There is a cold shower, but as it’s always hot, this is totally fine. The fan at night was sufficient, it cools down and it wasn’t too warm at all. Bring mosquito spray, there aren’t many, but there are … The food in the restaurant is great, the calamansi slushy is super tasty! There are many vegetarian options, also they serve smoothie bowl for breakfast. Prices are ok and good value for money. WiFi was working fine! The staff is really nice, especially Rafa who always calls you by your name and has such a wide interest and knowledge. It Was a pleasure chatting with her.

The mattress was really really hard. Next morning I had so much pain. Maybe I’m just really sensitive, but if you are like me, you should consider this.

Everything was perfect - the location is perfect to go everywhere in Bohol and you can easily rent a scooter to the hotel (very cheap - around 6€ a day and 2/3€ full fuel) - the staff is amazingly nice and friendly, they look after you and wants te help you. They also advice you some nice places to go. The lodge is so amazing, in the nature with the beautiful Loboc river where you can swim and paddle or do some kayac. The rooms are amazing and sleeping in the forest has never been so good. You can also book excursions (island for ex) from the hotel. Breakfast, smoothies and diner are very good, big and so cheap!!

The location was very nice and the food was good. The staff were really friendly and helpful during our stay there.

My biggest setback was that there weren’t any toilet facilities in the room I was in which made it difficult especially having to climb down a bamboo ladder to ground level in the middle of the night as I frequently need to use the toilet. The second setback was having to access the hatch opening in my eco unit especially at night time. The hatch doesn’t meet safety standards as has no safety features like handrails on the inside and could cause severe injuries to elderly people especially.

The location is beautiful, the staff are so so kind and lovely (they remember the name of every single guest staying at the lodge), breakfast was delicious and the design of the lodge is very pretty.

A lot of the bamboo was very creaky which made walking around in the night a very noisy mission. Additionally the bamboo in the ceiling is starting to erode which means the beds below it are constantly covered in black bamboo flakes. The mattresses could do with updating as they had become a bit thin.

Lovely natural experience by the Loboc River in lush green garden surroundings. They only had a bed in the dorm room left for my dates, and no private room, but it turned out to be a very nice and airy dorm setting with privacy curtains and plenty of space, so this wasn’t an issue! Wonderful view from the open room terrace high up. I loved falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of nature. It was nice and cool at night time. The highlight of my stay was the firefly watching paddle-board tour on the river - truly magical and something that will stick with me for years to come. I also enjoyed having my early morning coffee while sitting by the river which was recommended to me by the staff. People here were nice and very helpful. Thank you! 🙏

This wasn’t an issue for me, but some prices, like transport & day trips, appeared a little higher than elsewhere. But I guess you pay for the service of someone arranging things for you - if you are traveling on budget, you can always opt for booking yourself. Like some other guests have mentioned, there are a few rules and forms you need to sign upon checking in - again, not an issue for me, and probably there for a reason.

Stunning place! Beautiful garden full of green. You’re in the jungle next to a beautiful river! The people were so incredibly friendly and we loved the chat with all the staff! Food was good and vibe was really relax. There are 3 beautiful tree huts and a dorm. We would recommend the tree hut. It doesn’t have windows or airconditioning but it was a great experience. You’ll definitely make hundred of pictures! Beware that this beautiful place is 45 minute ride to Panglao, so if you just want to be there this might not be the place for you. But pangloa is really touristic but it has a sandy beach.

It’s 45 minute drive from Panglao (beach area). But this part of the island had why more beautiful jungle than the touristy Panglao. Depends on what you want I guess.

Everything! The staff are so nice and genuine. They have scooters and activities. The nature is unreal here. Delicious food. Umbrellas and towels and soap and everything you need. Goats and chickens and doggies on the main street. Its paradise. I extended and would come back in a heartbeat.

They dont have lockers, but you have your own private space in the dorm room, it felt safe to leave my things. I am sure the staff would keep something safe for you if you ask. They are beyond helpful and kind.

Unjque experience in the nature, it was very comfortable, the food was tasty, as they said you are in jungle. i was bit afraid about having cold showers but it wasnt bad at all. And you can also go for a swim in the river! dont for get to bring some spray against the mosquitos

The food is quiet expensive for filipino standarts, and they have 10% service charge, but the service is not that good. You have to wait long time until they take your order and then bring your food. But I guess it is because that here are not enough staff during the shift. Also what we didnt like that the staff was a bit pushy for buying activities and asking us what is our plan and with who did we booked the transport and so on. I get they are trying to be nice but it seems like some kind of interrogation😅 their activities were pretty expensive as well so we booked it via other people.
