I cannot say enough great things about this place. The service was absolutely incredible - not to overinflate expectations, but the service was concierge level great. The guests who stay here skew a bit younger, it seemed like this is a place backpackers can go for a bit of luxury, privacy, and peace. Everything they booked for us from massage to tricycles to cross-island transport was amazing (and very reasonably priced), and they clearly have a great network. These are really honest people, with such great hospitality, I would trust them with anything. They don't have a full service restaurant on site yet (they have a small kitchen where they make breakfast and sammies), but there's a local restaurant that delivers right to your room, and it was DELICIOUS. It was so nice to enjoy delicious Filipino food from the comfort of our own "home". The dogs and cats that live here are also SO sweet, I really enjoyed when they would visit us on the porch as we relaxed in the morning or evening. They always made accommodations for us to have an early breakfast when our tour picked us up before breakfast officially started, which I appreciated so much! There's no AC, but it really wasn't a problem, since there were 2 very powerful fans in the room (we actually got cold and had to turn one of them off in the middle of the night), and the structure of the cottages makes for really good ventilation. The location was also perfect for us. It's outside of the hustle of central moalboal, a bit in some farmlands but still only a 10 minute tricycle ride away from town. When we woke up early for jetlag, we'd go to the crows nest in the social area, make ourselves some self serve coffee (free and available 24/7), and watch the sun rise while the neighbors brought out their cows and goats to graze. Every single thing here is amazing and I can't recommend it enough.

The place is just amazing! Very aesthetically pleasing and beautiful! The staff is very friendly and nice and definitely made the trip amazing. Plus it has several add on services that are perfect (massage, pick-up/ drop-off). To conclude the breakfast is amazing

We all know it beforehand, but not having the AC makes a huge difference…we had fans in the room, but during some periods it’s just not enough. Additionally the water pressure in the shower could be improved and the mosquito net in the bed as well, as there are some parts that don’t close well.

I booked Tongo Hills for the 1st week of our honeymoon in The Philippines. The staff member got in touch via the messaging service on booking.com and introduced themselves, explained the facilities and services they offer such as airport transfers and we had a really lovely honeymoon package too- included drinks and massage. Upon arrival we were welcomed with friendly smiles, our room was beautifully decorated for our Honeymoon. It was evident that a lot of thought and care went into this. The hospitality we received during our stay at Tongo was exceptional! Staff were so friendly, always bright smiles on their face; they were all a pleasure to be around. Nothing was too much, especially when it came to guiding us through booking reputable excursions. We had THE BEST TIME!! We were only bed & breakfast here, the food was lovely and I also developed an obsession for mango shakes thanks to Tongo Hills! They do the best mango shake in the whole of Philippines! I’m telling you! Haha! The whole property was very unique, serene and beautifully kept. We loved the simplicity of the property, truly relaxing experience. We didn’t have any issues with bugs/mosquitoes, yes it was hot but the fan did the trick. Favourite part of the room was the shower! I love the concept of incorporating nature in the shower area. The property had the sweetest little furr babies! The dogs and cats are so CUTE & Friendly. Tongo Hills was our favourite stay in the Philippines 💖 I would definitely recommend them if you’re in Cebu/Moalboal area. All the staff members are little gems 💎 especially Zenia and Lovely 🥰

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Tongo Hills Cottages, and were blown away by this hidden gem. From the incredible mountain views to the warm hospitality (Zenia, Rosalie, Ate Marcel, the owners-Caroline...everyone!), our time at Tongo exceeded every expectation. We stayed in one of the cozy bahay kubos 'Adelfa', which featured beautiful native hardwood details, bamboo decor, and luxurious modern amenities like WiFi and hot shower. The room was spotless and the beds were surprisingly comfortable despite being small (my partner is Dutch). We also loved the cute attention to detail and add ons like: locally-made soap&shampoo bars, movie & bonfire nights.

Nitpicks: - fans are too industrial-like (noisy and blowing too much) - had to ask for an extra blanket (the one provided was too thin and small) - bathroom rug was missing (we had to use one of our towels) - very limited breakfast options for long-term guests

My husband and I started off our honeymoon here and of the 5 places we stayed at in the Philippines, this was by far our favorite. The location is a bit of a walk from the town but we loved that since it meant it was quiet and secluded. We rented a scooter from them so the distance didn't matter to us. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay there special. The breakfast was delicious. We loved all the touches like the gardens and the hammocks everywhere that made it truely feel like paradise. The fire pit and outdoor movie screen we could use was an extra touch I haven't seen anywhere else.

Nothing

The cottages and lovely and cosy, very pretty and such a nice wilderness escape. Staff are so friendly and help with booking trips and taxis etc. the breakfast was amazing and you sit and have it on your little balcony with the sounds of nature. Mopeds are able to be rented from accomadation for cheap and only a 10 minute drive to beach/town.

A lot of mosquitoes but that could be due to us visiting at wet season so lots of mozzies in general. No air con so rooms can get hot but they do have 2 fans in bedroom.

We really enjoyed our time here! The staff is incredibly nice and as there are not many rooms they take really good care of you without it being uncomfortable! We even met the owners and had a nice chat with them. The rooms are very cute and the outside bathroom is beautiful. Everything was clean and well maintained. They help you arrange activities and in the evening you can ask for a movie night or bonefire night which was sooo romantic and you don’t have to pay anything ;). They don’t have a restaurant but offer a few snacks and stuff that will definitely be enough. The breakfast was the best we had! Sooo good!

The only thing you should be aware of is that the location is a little outside of the main town. We did walk to the town which is like 25 mins but with the heat it’s really uncomfortable so the next times we took a scooter or hired a trycical.

Our stay at Tongo Hills was AMAZING! This place is the most relaxing place in Moalboal. It is very peaceful and the cottages are gorgeous. They have everything you need- delicious breakfast options, movie night, in house massages which you can have in your room or in the common area (highly recommend) and they can even organise dinner from a local restaurant to be brought to your room. If you are looking for a place to stay in Moalboal this is the one, you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful cottages and lovely outdoor bathrooms

The excursions that they offer are significantly higher than what you can find in town, for us this was double in some cases. When we brought it up to them they didn’t offer any solutions - just said the price is what it is. We paid a lot for airport pick up and when we arrived the pick up wasn’t there. We got in contact with the property and it took them ages to get back to us and locate the driver

Tongo hill made out moalboal experience unforgettable! The staff were amazing and it was also possible to order room service from a close by restaurant for a very good price and it was delicious we did it every evening! was very clean and had many places to relax! We also had a flight on our last morning so we had to leave the accomodation at 4am and they made breakfast for us the night before so we could take it with us!!

We had to leave :(
