Bien
Pros:

Emplacement proche du centre ville
Douche sans eau chaude mais avec de la pression
Toilettes et salles de bain propres

Cons:

Les odeurs pour aller à la guesthouse sont nauséabondes, et c’est un chemin avec des lattes de bois qui sont pas sûres.
Bruyant, dans la maison il y a beaucoup de bruit le matin.
On entendait tout de ce qu’il se passait dans les autres chambres.
Rien pour accrocher nos affaires dans la chambre

Pros:

L’emplacement est pas mal. Par contre pour y accéder c’est assez escarpé (planche en bois) compliqué si vous avez des valises.

Cons:

Le personnel vraiment pas sympathique. La chambre électricité qui marche une fois sur deux. Des travaux dans la chambre d’à côté à 7h du matin. Honnêtement si vous avez besoin d’une vrai nuit de repos passez votre chemin. Et chambre pas très propre.

Good value for money
Pros:

The guesthouse was very clean and had nice vibes. Staff were super friendly and helpful, feels quite like a homestay. Location within Coron was great. Good value for money.

Cons:

The walkway to the guesthouse was not pleasant. No aircon in the room, so quite warm at night.

Pros:

Staff are super nice.welcomingnpeople and friendly..but the property...needs a lot of improvement.forst of all google walking direction gets u way off the property.u ll get confused at least 3 times if you are walking.there are alleys that u would take to regular neighborhood and u ll get back to main road.my suggestion is walk on main road till u see the sign of coron backpackers then proceed front here.the walk way take about 1 minute of swamp of sewage system.there is a pathway made by wood but don't think it's done properly.its a very bad job made me think 5 years old kids done by piece of woods and nails and hammer.u have to watch your steps to be able to walk..and don't forget u basically walking on wood built on swamp of sewage system.alot of water mixed with human poop and urination and water.smell awful.and because of that has a lot of mosquitoes.i mean lot by 300 400 mosquitos.rooms are not very clean and has mosquito net on top of your bed.no air conditioning but just fan.i would not recommend this place at all.avpid at all cost.

Cons:

I don't like anything about this place but staff

Mignon mais avec des milliers de moustiques
Pros:

Le personnel était vraiment adorable. La guesthouse en elle-même était très jolie et bien placée par rapport au centre-ville. Les chambres sont simples mais assez confortables et disposent de moustiquaires (INDISPENSABLES ici) et d'un ventilateur.
De l'eau était à disposition gratuitement.

Cons:

Les moustiques ! Nous avions vu de nombreux avis à ce sujet, mais vraiment, les MOUSTIQUES ! C'est le pire endroit que j'aie vu de ma vie niveau moustiques.
Situé sur un marécage, les moustiques et les odeurs sont très dérangeants.
Certaines moustiquaires sont trouées et impossible de se doucher sans leur charmante compagnie (par centaines sans exagérer).
Aucune isôation phonique, un bébé plwurait h24 dans la chambre d'à côté et il aurait tout aussi bien pu être dans notre lit (et on n'oublie pas les traditionnelles poules de Coron que l'on ne peut pas manquer dans la région).
Prévoyez de l'antimoustique, des habits longs et des bouchons d'oreilles.

Pros:

Soluzione economica, stanza spaziosa, pulitissimo. Il personale molto gentile si premura di eliminare le zanzare con la racchetta elettrica prima della notte. Letti comodi, cucina accessoriata e frigorifero. Acqua gratis.

Cons:

Ingresso che sovrappassa una latrina dotata di pantegane, anche se non maleodorante, il personale si premura di affumicare i locali la sera in modo da nascondere i cattivi odori. Per cui all'arrivo sarete accolti da una Cortina fumogena.

Pros:

Un lieu très typique, une charmante cabane en bois pleine de caractère.

Nous avons très bien dormi, la moustiquaire dans la chambre est un vrai plus. Comme les murs sont en bois, l’isolation n’est pas parfaite, mais cela ne nous a absolument pas empêchés de passer de bonnes nuits. Le logement étant excentré du boulevard, nous n’entendons pas les voitures, seulement quelques chiens errants au loin.

Nous recommandons sans hésiter pour le très bon rapport qualité-prix et surtout pour la grande gentillesse des hôtes.

Cons:

Seul petit bémol : il peut vite faire chaud à l’intérieur, mais un ventilateur est mis à disposition et aide bien.

The staff was Very kind, helpful and everything was very clean.
Pros:

The staff were always looking after us. Especially my boyfriend who was sick, they were paying attention all the time. We are really grateful.

Cons:

We could hear everything from our room and be heard as well, didn't have too much privacy. And even with the fan working as much as it could wasn't enough sometimes.
