La ducha estaba metida con el wáter, muy pequeño, sucio y lleno de mosquitos. La ropa de cambio acabó toda mojada

Nous n’y avons pas dormi par peur pour note sécurité le taxi nous a dit qu’il ne fallait pas rester ici nous sommes part
Pros:

Rien photos mensongères

Cons:

L’emplacement
Les chambres derrière l’ immeuble dans une ruelle très sale on passe devant des maisons où les gens sont allongés sur leur avec des regards de fou
C’est une honte de mettre cet établissement en location
Les photos sont loins de la réalité

Pros:

The staff are welcoming and accommodating, as the business is run by a family.

Cons:

The neighbors and the location were fine. I booked the place because the advertisement said it was near Mactan Center, but I was a bit disappointed because it was actually quite far.

Cons:

Ostatni nocleg przed wylotem, jak zawsze celowałem było ok to ten nocleg i lokalizacja była tragiczna, mieszkałem w slamsach, pokój śmierdzący i coś mnie w nim pogryzło. Masakra radzę trzymać się z daleka od tego obiektu.

I would not recommend this place, especially if you are a group of girls traveling. Unfortunately, my experience was qui
Pros:

I love how cheap the rent was and still got a 5 star customer service and a big, comfy and air-conditioned room.

Cons:

I would not recommend this place, especially if you are a group of girls traveling. Unfortunately, my experience was quite traumatizing.

The first night went fine, but after a few nights we started noticing a lot of cockroaches. They seemed to come from outside the room, possibly surfacing due to the rain. When I say a lot, I truly mean it—there were dozens right in front of our room. My partner has a fear of insects, which made the situation even more stressful.

The second major issue was the location. There were two disturbing men loitering near the property. One was right outside, and another at the highway, only a five-minute walk away. They would actually chase people, which made us feel unsafe the entire time.

It’s a shame because, without these problems, I would have gladly given a 5-star rating. The customer service itself was excellent, but the safety concerns and pest issue completely overshadowed that.

Good value for money.
Pros:

Near Mactan area (15mins ride). Great value for money. I got lucky I was alone at the dorm my whole stay. I wasn't able to try the cafe.

Cons:

The bathroom could use a little more cleaning. I noticed that the trash bin wasn't removed my entire stay. Also the bathroom faucet was loose. I have to use both hands in opening and closing the faucet tap (one hand for the faucet, other hand to hold it in place).
