Pros:

Easy walk to El Nido town

Cons:

The place was really dirty. The bathroom hadn't even been cleaned when we got there. There were previous guests' piss all over the toilet (they did clean it once we asked them to).
The sheets were stained and torn, and we found some fake eyelashes from a previous guest glued to the bed headboard.
We had some cookies in our backpack, and we got invaded by ants within a couple of hours of our arrival.
The floor and floormats were also really dirty and dusty. The room always had a wet smell.

do not stay here ! absolutely disgusting inhumane not fit for animals
Pros:

nothing

Cons:

this place needs to be demolished we booked this last minute when we arrived we saw our room and didn’t even check in the place was full of mould there were insects running around in the bedroom and the floor the sheets had what looked to be diarrhoea stains and Bed Bugs towels look like they hadn’t been washed in 20 years we told the receptionist we would not be checking in and asked for a refund which they refused. We then moved to another hotel. Do not waste your money. It’s also quite pricey compared to surrounding accommodation, they charge us £58 for the one night that we had booked and refused to give a refund even though we didn’t even put our cases in the room.

Pros:

Only for emergency situations.

Cons:

The place is in the middle of ruined houses around. Better to close eyes to not see all this shit.

Horrible experiencia no recomendada hormigas y ratas
Pros:

Para nada el alojamiento era lo esperado. Todo estaba sucio, las habitaciones horribles con hormigas, olor a humedad. En las instalaciones hasta había una rata gigante. Nos fuimos en nada que podíamos buscar otro alojamiento

Cons:

No me gustó nada nos fuimos pitando. Como dice el refrán lo barato sale caro

What a Nightmare! It's horrible! Shocking! Demolished it!
Pros:

Nothing at all, we only stayed 1 night & goodbye, we wasted our money, the place should be demolished, I think we deserve a refund.

Cons:

You make us believe its a nice place, you should not advertice this kind of place for lodging. My family didn't sleep at all our first night, its a horrible place to live. This room should be demolished & don't let anyone be a next victim.

Helt okej läge, annars var de inte bra .
Pros:

Läget är bra, ligger nästan mitt i stan.

Cons:

Det luktade illa i vårat rum, A/Cn väsnades väldigt mycket, behövde sova med öronproppar. På vägen till rummet var de hundbajs och fågelbajs överallt.
När jag påpekade för personalen att det luktade illa i rummet så erbjöd dom mig ett annat, men de luktade illa där med tyvärr.

Établissement à éviter au plus haut point
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Une climatisation trop bruyante comme un tracteur allumé dans une salle de 4 m².
Une douche n’existante obligé de se laver dans un seau. Et inondation dans la chambre en raison, des fortes pluies et surtout de fissures dans les murs.

Good
Pros:

The bed had a thick mattress, which was nice. Air-conditioning was also working and not so loud. Location is also great, with a supermarket just 1 minute walking from the hotel. The street also goes straight from the hotel to the beach wich is a 6 minute walk. ❤️
