“Cute, cosy stay at Smak Hotel Bantayan with a great location—quiet yet close to restaurants and bars, and fantastic, fr
Pros:

“We had a lovely stay at Smak Hotel Bantayan. The hotel is cute and cosy, with a comfortable and convenient location. Stefan and his team were incredibly accommodating—always smiling and ready to help with anything we needed. It’s perfectly situated in a quiet area while still being close to restaurants and bars, which made it ideal for both relaxing and exploring. Highly recommend!”

Good value for money hotel
Pros:

Location was good, a little balcony with table & chairs & a long clothes horse was handy. Staff were lovely, breakfast was yummy- unreal value, being included. Shower pressure was good, was a huge shower. Tv was good.

Cons:

Lots loud noises nearby which woke us 5.45am,
People smoking at the bar. Bed was a double with foam mattress so the sheets kept pulling out.

Wonderful place to stay and chill. Will definitely come back here again!
Pros:

Location: less than 5 min walk to the nearby market and seafood restaurants.

Room: the room is really clean, the bed comfortable, food during breakfast was great! Ordered Danggit silog during my whole stay! Amenities are complete with shower heater, water is strong, sunny place, aircondition is good and cool, TV is small but it's fine since you're not expected to be in the room always. The room I stayed in is good for two.

Beach: it is not beach front but it is just 5min walk to the Kota beach. If you can drive a motorbike, you can rent it nearby and just go around the island.

Bantayan island is truly a lovely, lovely place. So peaceful, far from the city and yet within reach of basic needs

I didnt have any expectations staying at SMAK but the staff there are very attentive and kind. They always greet you with a smile. Check-in and check-out was smooth.

There's wifi in the property. It's fast enough for Viber and Zoom calls. Goof enough for some net surfing.

Highly recommended for locals and internation travelers!
