Scent of Green Papaya Reviews

It was uncomfortable because there was no hot water, and it was too far from the main road into an alley, so my girlfriend (Filipina) said it was dangerous at night, so we used a tricycle. I don't recommend it. It's not cost-effective for a stay at 89,000 won per night (breakfast not included)

The room is clean and tidy, the service staff is very nice, but the soundproofing is a bit poor. It is not very convenient to walk a long way to Alona Beach. Everything else is OK.

Overall, the price/performance ratio is high, and the front desk service is really the highlight. It's really friendly. The location is not great, but it's still relatively close to the beach, but it matches the price. There is a free shuttle bus to the beach. The only bad thing is that the toiletries have never been replaced. We stayed for 6 days and no toothbrushes were provided. During this period, there were two days of cleaning. Overall, it's still okay, 4.5 points or more.

The garden scenery is beautiful, very suitable for vacation inside, and the staff service is good. But the location is not good, the road conditions to get in are very poor, and the water heater often does not work.

We recently stayed at a hotel I booked through Agoda, opting for the cheapest deal. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I wanted to share my thoughts. The entire property has a nice garden resort vibe, which we really enjoyed. The room was spacious, and the bathroom was huge—definitely a highlight of our stay. However, I do have a few suggestions for improvement: Lighting: The room could benefit from brighter lights. It felt a little dim, especially in the evening. TV Upgrade: The TV in the room was quite old-school. The remote was hard to navigate, and the overall quality felt outdated. It would be great if they upgraded this. Water Bottles: I would love to see them replace the small plastic water bottles with larger, more eco-friendly containers. It's a small change that can make a big difference in terms of sustainability. Mattress: The foam mattress wasn't as comfortable as I hoped. On the positive side, the staff at the kitchen were very attentive, and my parents especially loved the watermelon juice they served. It was refreshing and a nice touch. If you book a room, it includes free breakfast, which offers a good selection and large portions, along with brewed coffee and juice. The only downside was the limited food selection on the menu. While the quality was fine, having more options would be great. The property is located in a residential area, which might not be the most convenient for everyone, but they do offer complimentary transfers from time to time, which is a great perk. Overall, it's not the best value for money, but if you're looking for a relaxing, laid-back stay, I would recommend this property.

The rooms are a little bit old and don't come with a kettle and complimentary coffee or tea. Meanwhile, the garden and the pool are great. There are a few choices for breakfast available in the restaurant and you can also dine there. Sadly, there are almost no vegetarian menu items, but the pasta with cheese and the bacon burger were good. There is a hourly shuttle to the Alona Beach with many restaurants there. The hotel can also call you a tuk tuk. The staff was always very friendly and helpful.

The rooms here are a 3.5 stars, old, mouldy, crap shower, food average. However the staff are fantastic and the pools amazing. A little distance from town, but an easy 10min walk or 100 peso tok tok ride. Noise restrictions within the hotel themselves would have allowed for a better stay if staff enforced this better (kids in pool at stupid o’clock in morning). Mattress firm, but comfy. Free wifi, TV works with English speaking channels. Overall, The pool and staff are worth the stay here!!!

This is a great place. Nice and quiet, tucked away, lovely calm atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. The food is nice and has a good drinks selection and a happy hour. I would like to see the hotel put guests in touch with each other when they're booking tours, if the guests are happy to. A group of us found ourselves on the same tour in different vehicles, this would be especially good for solo travellers.

All wonderful. Staff, food, swimmingpool, wifi, aircon, confort, all great! Van every 60 min free to Alona Beach. Lovely shakes. Food is good. Best wifi in Phillipines, you can work there, it is really fast. Great decition to stay there. Lovely.

The resort is very clean and the staff are very welcoming I think maybe when the tourism picks up maybe you will extend the food menu Other than that it was fantastic thank you The night time bar staff always put me a cold beer in the freezer after I ordered one as I like my beer very cold The food was nice but the pizza dough should be thicker Really enjoyed our stay here and we will be back

Excellent little resort, fantastic attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommended resort, exactly as pictured on booking. Com. Would definitely stay here for leisure again, a beautiful place close to restaurants and beach.

My wife and I stayed at The Scent of Green Papaya Resort from November 5th - 8th and were very happy with our stay! The best part of our stay was the resort staff, who were extremely friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed breakfast, the bar, and found our room spacious & comfortable. The location of the resort is also great, as it’s a short walk to Alona Beach but far enough away to relax in peace & quiet. Lastly, their online presence accurately represents the resort. The Scent of Green Papaya is a true “Hidden Gem” on Panglao!

Very nice place Always clean ! staff are very attentive, good food ,nice breakfast, Bar prices are not excessive nice place to chill out when you're not out n about , close to all amenities, Highly recommended !

Really good experience . staff were super friendly and helpful and even packed us a breakfast when we had to leave very early for a trip. Pool is lovely. Location is quite near alona beach , easy walk but the road is full of pot holes
