I really like the very accomodating staff who listens to all of our concerns. The owner is also the one who even greeted us at the airport and the one who also drove us back. I got injured in our trip and the staff was provided a first aid kit. Overall our stay is excellent and beyond my expectation. We enjoyed every second or our stay. Thank you very much for a very wonderful experience.

We didn't like the hot water coming out from the shower but the staff took action regarding that and fixed everything. The ac wasn't very cool but perhaps it is due to the hot weather or something. Everything is excellent but in my opinion such high quality thick covers and blankets are not opted for a not so cool room.

Surprisingly checked all what we look for in a hotel. We been in around Bohol and alot hotel yes have a view but lack service of a hotel, the traditional yet on trend, Thistle Inn make our stay good. First staff greeted us warmly even we arrived night 8pm. It was booked last minute. The place was nice and really have a nice vibe, they maximize space but doesn't look so small. Room are well lit, complete toiletries (lotion, shower gel, cotton, cotton buds, toothbrush, conditioning shampoo and smell good. The room is just right size, you can move around and have desk and small table and chair. Bathrobes, towels and slippers are provided. Toilet tiles are non slip love it. Have bidet too. Many plugs for gadgets are available (just bring adaptor). Food and drinks are provided with a charge but just right price. Rooms have Tv, kettle and water, coffee, tea is available for free. Swimming pool also is nice, aircon is so nice after tiring travel. Strong Water pressure and warm shower is the awesome. Sheets are clean and white. They also have scented sticks and deodorizer coal in hidden areas. Simple things but makes a difference. Wifi internet is strong and space in the room for working nomads is really good. Highly recommended this price vs service & comfort. Hopefully they maintain because some hotels change service after reviews and are very expensive.

Genuinely couldn’t recommend The Thistle Inn enough. The room is immaculately clean (with clean towels provided daily) and everything is well presented - the bed is super comfortable, all the room facilities are excellent (great aircon, free bottles or water daily). The facilities are fantastic - lovely garden and pool area as well as a bar and restaurant (the breakfast was 10/10). That staff are incredibly friendly and attentive and the family that own the hotel are so accommodating and helpful - nothing is too much trouble. If we make it back to Bohol, we will definitely stay again and recommend it to others.

The hotel is about 10 minutes tuktuk ride from a most of the main tourist spots in Panglao. However, we liked the quiet so it was perfect for us, and the staff were always really helpful with arranging transportation and tours etc.

This place is outstanding. The owners and the staff go above and beyond. We cannot recommend it enough, they are so helpful. Great recommendations, even made special pack lunch for our babies. The rooms themselves are impeccable. spacious and comfortable and incredibly clean.

You do need to get a tuktuk to get to places but that wasn't a problem and we always managed to get one at the door within 10 minutes.

The place was cozy, warm and relaxing vibe. The people are very friendly and attentive. They listen to what you need and are very generous with thwir time and service. You will love the homey feels. It’s also near some bigger resorts if uou want a beach experience although their pool was also a great place to chill. They serve good food with generous servings. They will also help you with tours and recreation recommendations. They keep everythinv clean and orderly. They also have a bar and restaurant.

None really. Such a wonderful place to stay.

A beautiful property with a relaxing atmosphere and all the amenities we needed. The staff were lovely and always very helpful. The food was also delicious and a very comfortable environment overall. Drivers were always available and motorbikes were available for use. We also were able to book all of our tours with the front desk which made our trip run very smoothly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a family friendly/quieter accommodation!

Well equipped hotel room with very comfortable furniture in private and peaceful location. Clean and spacious swimming pool as well as access to Momo beach within a 15 minute walk. Staff are very friendly and hotel services are carried out professionally to a high standard.

The water pressure in the shower could have been slightly stronger but this seems to be the norm in Bohol. There are not many restaurants in the area, a scooter or tuk tuks are needed for mobility.

We planned to stay for only some days but ended up staying here our complete three-weeks holiday, because of the fantastic experience we had. Each part of the place is lovingly furnished and the cozy size of the whole place was just perfect for us. The family who runs it is super friendly and helpful to all our needs and special wishes (adjusting the meals to our diets, organizing a doctor, renting a scooter and much more). We had delicious breakfast and often also stayed for lunch or dinner. Chy, Frank and their team made us feel really welcome and when we'll have the chance, we'd definitely come again.

Room was nice, very clean. The bed was also very comfortable and the wifi was super strong.

Location is quite far from restaurants, shops etc. You will either need to rent a motorbike/car. I had some miscommunication with the information desk and the trike they booked for me. i ended up getting charged more than what the reception desk told me it would cost, so I wouldn't recommend getting transport through them. You're better off booking on your own. Other than that, my stay was perfect.

A wonderful ‘oasis’ in Panglao! We were picked up from the airport (no charge). The hotel is in a quiet local area with some beautiful' jungle' around it. We were given a delicious honey tea 'welcome' drink. Each room has their own balcony - lovely to sit out on - view of the pool and the jungle. Hotel has a small, cozy restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner (cooked by Sobe and friends). The bathroom is a comfortable size - shampoo, body wash and lotion provided. Clothesline in shower! Electrical outlets on both sides of bed as well as lamps. A/C works well and keeps room cool. There is also a ceiling fan. Many outside places to sit: room balcony, dining room, lounge chairs by pool, outside bar area. Can rent a motorbike for 400 pesos a day - great way to get around. Need motorbike or car to get to beach area with many choices of restaurants. Very secure and safe location.
