Please prepare yourself with a lot of bug spray. Many spiders and bugs & ants in the room. No kids should stay in such a place.

Do not stay here, way to the hotel is a canal which smells & lots of mosquitoes. No hot shower & it smells.

Pros: The location is excellent. Kind and accommodating staff. Clean basic room. Cons: Very small bathroom

You get what you paid for. Very basic accommodation. A practical choice since you’ll be touring all day. If you only need a place to leave your things and sleep for the night and save up, this is the place for you. The AC is very good. Rare you see a pension house that will give you chills if you full-blast the AC. I will rate that 5/5. A minor setback on the water supply when we came in but nothing that wasn’t remedied right away. I also like it that they offer free coffee (although instant ones) but nevertheless, it’s free. I like it that they put their hot-water dispenser where it is accessible to everyone. For those cup-noodles breakfast that you plan to have when you come over, go for it. The staffs were nice and easy to talk to and will give you a much easier time to book your tours with them. No hassle at all. The place is clean with a home-style feel. Just really be mindful on the way in as the place comes in an old foot bridge made of wood with lots of missing parts with the drainage below it. My daughter even stepped on one of those missing parts luckily she wasn’t hurt that bad. When I go back to El Nido, I will personally choose this again for it’s affordability and proximity to the rest of your needs in the area.

The only downside is the way going to the pension house because it is not cemented. It can be scary the first time walking on the way there. But the room is clean and overall it was a good value for the money. Unlimited free coffee is an added nice touch.

Anything you need you need just asked the front desk Water is too slow take time to fill a small bucket And please if there is a chance please change the kettle. But very happy and satisfied

I love the staff here , when I ask if I can stay 1 more hour because we are waiting for the service they allowed us ,staff is very friendly . And I add 1 more guest in our room but they didn't charge us as long as we will use the same bed. Their bed can accomodate at least 3 people and still spacious . A bit dissapointed about our room because it has ants on the window sides. And no generator if its brownout , overall I still like the place you have free unlimited coffee on the veranda . Rate 4/5 😊

The pensionne house is not bad at all. You get what you paid for. Its good enough that its air-conditioned. It has free wifi. The cleanliness is not so nice. It smells a bit. The pillowcases has a smell also. We covered it with our extra clothes. But if youre on a tight budget. This is a good deal.

It was good

Quick and easy check in, clean rooms and surroundings, friendly and accommodating stuff, quiet and peaceful, amenities good, the tea room is a bonus, close to the beach and plenty places to eat.

The didn’t change their bed sheets. I saw a blood stain in my pillow. The main problem is the water supply. It has a strong stinky smell. But the good thing is their staff is kind.

Great stay :)

Great location. Spacious and cozy room.

Service was so welcoming! They head everything you’d want at this place. Tours for better prices, vans to other towns, beer, etc. But room itself was the worst. I’ve been in the Philip. for 3 weeks now. And this place was the noisiest! Aircon soooo loud. And roosters even more loud. They screamed 24/7. No water at all. It was only dripping a little, so we couldn’t shower for three days. But great location.

Close to everything and the room is comfortable too.

Close to beach. Place is ok but lots of mosquitos outside as road to Olson is water coverd by wood planks only. Toilet is so small. No water every morning. They will give you buckets of water for morning use. But if you just want basic place to sleep, Olson is ok

We checked in very late and we were so tired to care looking for another place, so we stayed when they said water will come in the morning. I requested for extra roll over beds and have already paid for them, but they have not prepared them on arrival. We stayed for 2 nights and never had clean water. We have to but gallons of drinking water to use to brush and wash up. Very disappointed.

I put my fiance in this hotel for a few days. She tells me that the water drainage system at the hotel is an open system, and the smell is really bad... bad enough for her to go get some medicine for a headache that she got from the smell. The water coming from the faucet was dark sometimes, and she didn't want to take a shower in it. Everything else about the hotel was nice enough. Maybe this was a temporary situation at the hotel. I don't know. I'm going to El Nido in July, and I won't be taking a chance. I could probably deal with bad smells from the sewer system, but dealing with dark water coming out of the faucets and shower would be too much for me to handle.

very friendly staff. it is close to the beach so thats a plus. very clean env. and friendly people in general.

I stayed 5 days at the hotel! good location, good rooms, air conditioning working perfectly! only problem is that it does not have a hot bath.
