Excellent hosts - Celine was super helpful!

A moped is necessary if you're going to stay here. There is a bus but for 'freedom' I suggest renting a moped. The hostel has one.
I'd stay again.
All good.

I absolutely loved staying here in the mountains. Maybe my favorite place I’ve stayed so far on my trip because it was so peaceful. A short motorbike ride from the Chocolate Hills, and close enough to waterfalls. It was really accessible via Ceres bus (drops you off in the town nearby on the way from Ubay, goes right in front of the house going towards Panglao). I was only going to stay a night but extended. Seline was the best and most welcoming host ever!
I stayed in the single hut and the dorm. Both are basic but good. The bathroom was basic with a handheld hose and island style toilet - you just add water to it to flush, which is no big deal at all, this is a more authentic experience for the Philippines. I was the only person in the dorm. The garden is gorgeous and there are chickens roaming around. They have bikes for rent and you need one to explore. Not kidding it was probably one of the best days of my life exploring 3 different waterfalls (Pangas, dam-agen, and another nearby), the chocolate hills, getting food from a Carnideria, then chilling in the hammock with my book after, not having to deal with staying in a crowded tourist place or taking a tourist crowded van. With the price of the accommodation so affordable the price of the motorbike (500) m
balances out. I would come back no doubt!
It was nicer than I expected based on the pics on booking.
