Find Hostels in Bohol Island

Nice people, it was fun with the birthday celebration, the band was ok.. It was our second time stays. Still we will come back again next year. Don't expect luxurious stay but it was a feeling of being in a home in front of the beach. The pool was good, though I don't like the idea of no lifeguard no swimming policy especially if you are an adult, you can't swim in the night anymore which is kinda unfair and boring...

The boss is two middle-aged women, they are very enthusiastic, and the garden is amazing! Maybe the room I booked was cheaper, the bed linen was old, and when I entered the bed, a mouse poop was lying on a yellow urine stain. There was no air conditioning, and the door could not be locked when I went out. I could only sleep. Locked up, there are good poultry and many dogs around. The rooster can’t tell the morning and night. It crowed 24 hours a day. The dog screamed like a wolf at night, and at night it also barked like a worm. In short, I heard it when I was a child 20 years ago. The voice in my hometown, I was too tired to take pictures on the first day in the Philippines

The staffs were friendly and helpful. There are things missing like the TV, Bidet in the bathroom. The bathroom overflows with water and gets a lil bit messy. The breakfast is great and the pool. The room is big. Also the only cons there is no phone when you need something you need to go down every time and inform the front desk. They offered free service to bring us to airport since we stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. The experience is great.

My partner and I didn't actually stay at MadMonkey as there were no private rooms available but we did stumble across the hostel when looking for somewhere to eat and ended up spending a fair amount of time here. The food had a great variety and was very fairly priced and it was the only place I managed to get a G&T for less than 200 pesos. We also used the hostel to book some day trips. We did the 4 hour Pangloa Tour which was a great day out and did the countryside tour. Marycris helped us organise the tours and she was an absolute dream! We'd planned to do the tour on the Monday but there was a Typhoon so the trip got cancelled. Marycris messaged me to keep me updated and arranged a tour for us for the Tuesday. She put so much effort in when we weren't even staying there and we ended up having a van to ourselves and we'd fit in everything we wanted to. I can't get over how helpful and accommodating Marycris was, we were only staying in Bohol for a few days and due to Marycris' communitcation, we managed to get in everything we wanted for our holiday.

I thought it was a bad hostel. but! Except for the location, everything else is perfect! ! ! ! Excellent value for money. The location is about 2 kilometers away by tuk-tuk to Alona beach. I compared several hotels and this one is very newly decorated and has air conditioning. It is also very quiet at night.

During our three days in Bohol, the hotel staff were very nice. They took the initiative to clean the room and helped us pay for the taxi fare. The landlord lives in the B&B. If you have any questions, you can contact them at any time. Don’t be afraid to communicate in English because it’s run by a friendly Chinese couple. I really want to thank them because ********* people are really unfamiliar with the place when they go there 😂😂

 First if all, the place is located right on the main street leading to Alona beach, and it's very noisy day and night (for those who might care). Second, no Wi-Fi in the room, and barely working one on the porch, so you have to sit on a hard wooden bench in the pool area if you want to use internet. Third, when we arrived and checked in into our room with ”garden view” we found out that our view is the wall of the room in front, shared ”porch”, which is more like a narrow alley filled with hanging laundry. When we asked the staff politely about the ”garden view” mismatch, the two receptionists instead of offering a solution directly started to blame it on us, saying that we (I quote) ”didn't request a garden view”. In my understanding, if it's written in the room description, it's included, and there was no note about requesting it anywhere. Clearly, they just wanted to get rid of me without fixing anything. All I wanted is to be moved to another room. They didn't propose that, so I asked if they had another room with a proper porch available, they rudely said no, that's all we have and turned away. After I asked again if there is anything available tomorrow or the day after, or even a different type of room, finally with very annoyed attitude admitted that there is one tomorrow that we could move to. Clearly, my trust is already shaken, so I asked them to see the room first. They made a whole scene about this, but finally showed me the room next to ours, which was better. The restaurant has similar service. We ordered 3 dishes, it took 40 minutes for them to bring one of them, and it was wrong. We sent it back, waited another 15 minutes and finally got all our food, which was very mediocre. Really not with the price and the waiting. After all this we really didn't want to stay in this place, so we booked another hotel, and went to tell them that we will be checking out. Got shouted at again saying that our booking is not refundable. Forget it. Even the swimming pool, the only nice thing about this hotel, couldn't be enjoyed because of the construction next door. The workers would stare from the roof and one even got down and was peeping over the fence...
