- lovely staff: Mitch was so helpful and friendly as were the other staff we encountered like the lady who cooked us breakfast every day and arranged a tuk tuk for us to the port - Katy the dog! Although it was sad to see her on her lead a lot of the time, but she was such a lovely little dog! - good sized room, with Netflix and AC! - moped hire - we had a great moped for 4 days - books downstairs to exchange - lovely dining area/common area space with plenty of chairs to relax - lots of convenient stores nearby, a yummy bakery and a local, affordable restaurant just opposite to the right with some lovely staff

- the shower was very weak - lots of ants in the bedroom which ended up in the bed too :( - not a problem for us but if you want to get to the beach and the main part of town you’d need to get on a moped or a tuk tuk

Mitch was a great host! She gave me a lot of recommendations and was very lovely! They invited me to have a traditional Philippines snack which they eat during Holy Week! The first night I was in the Family Room which I’ll recommend as it’s spacious, have AC, have tables and a sofa! The second night I stayed in the Triple room which doesn’t have AC, only fan and it’s very simple. I guess if you are not traveling during March - May, fan would be enough. The beach close by is not great for swimming (but has a beautiful sunset!) as it has lots of boats but if you have a motorcycle or are willing to catch the tricycle, you can go to other beaches like Dumaluan which is lovely!

I came to realize that across the Philippines the water pressure is not great! So it’s not necessary something I didn’t like about this place, but more of a heads up! I learned how to use the bucket to rinse myself as it was more effective than the shower head! 😅

It was absolutely AMAZING. We extended for two, three more nights simply because it was so lovely. The shared room had AC, and was a decent size, and the bathroom was in great condition. Most importantly, it was the people here that made it so incredible! Mitch, took such good care of us, even when one of us became sick, other than that, she gave us some great recs of whats good around bohol. Her staff were also super accomodating and lovely. I feel like Intoys place became like a second home to me x Would come back to here for sure

Nothing at all, everything was just grand

Clean, newish, staff, location, all great.

The only thing I found which Could, I say could be difficult, because I stayed in the 4bed dorm. Would be IF there had actually been 4 adults in that tiny room and only 1 bathroom. It’s very small. While I was there..only 1 other person came. So 2 of us in the 4bed dorm room. And I gotta be honest, I almost pee’d in my pants while the other guy was using the 1bathroom. I can’t imagine that room with 4 adults and all the belongings as well. It’s a TINY ROOM. Besides that. Everything else was fantastic. Highly recommended. Maybe do a private room if there’s already 2 ppl in the dorm.

The best thing was the staff, always friendly and happy to do what they can to make the stay more comfortable. The bed was comfy, the AC good, and I like this area, being further away from Alona and quieter.

I did not realise the room had cold shower only (thought the staff offered to give me warm water for bucket style shower) and the room was the closest to the road, so could have some noise at times (though most of the noise was dogs barking right out of my ground floor room really). All in all, minor things.

Breakfast was simple, but it proved to be more than enough for me. It was eggs and toast with a side of butter, fruit jam + coffee for you to prepare. There's a water dispenser good for both hot and cold drinks. Imee in particular was generous enough to ask me if I wanted more toast, I was just too shy to accept the offer. The place also served other food options, which was a relief compared to most food establishments nearby and along Alona Beach.

An extra pillow and a bidet would have been useful. I had a hard time minding my business in the toilet as I only had a roll of toilet paper going on for me. The pillow was too thin for me, so I left the place with back with shoulder problems LOL

The owner of the hostel is adorable. She invited us to a typical Filipino birthday, we had diner and enjoyed a karaoke. The experience was amazing. In addition, the hostel is super calm, it’s based 3 minutes away from the beach and the breakfast is included.

I will not recommend the laundry service, we waited 48h instead of 6h initially to have our clothes back.

Great location just outside of Panglao beach. Were able to rent a motorbike which made getting around so easy. Staff were wonderful and helped us with recommendations on where to go during our stay in Bohol. Room was very clean and overall a great place to stay in Panglao.

Lots of chickens at a nearby property which made sleeping quite tough. Cockerels going off all night. No fault of the property but just something to bear in mind.

The hostel is brand new. The beds are comfortable, the bathroom is clean, nice lockers, big curtain, soft towels and good working AC. The family hosting the hostel are extremely friendly and helpful. Free breakfast included. They have a convenience store in the hostel, so perfect to grab a beer you can drink in the cosy common area. You also feel very safe as they lock the main gate in the evening. Closeby there is a very nice Mexican restaurant!

When we were there the Wifi in room wasn’t installed yet, but it should be fine any time soon.

Really nice room I booked a 4 bed dorm but they gave me a studio apartment instead I assumed they didn't have many customers at the time staff really friendly and they have a convenience store right next to it

No hot water but seems to be a common thing in the Phillipines which I didn't mind and a bit out the way of the main town so a bike or trycycle will be needed but it's a nice quiet place away from it all
