Nice and quiet with lovely views from the restuarant. Excellent hosts.
Pros:

Breakfast was included and the menu was pretty good. An excellent view from the restuarant, it's lovely and quiet, beautiful green scenery and fresh air. Juditha and her Mother are excellent hosts and very helpful.

Cons:

It's a little out of the way but to be honest this can be a good thing. You can travel from here to the rest of the NE coast and the airport is only about 10 minutes away.

Esperaba otra cosa tras las vacaciones
Pros:

Las vistas del comedor y el desayuno incluido está bastante correcto. Sin grandes lujos pero rico.

Cons:

Me pareció en si un despropósito:

-Zapatillas de “cortesía” usadas y con pelotillas ( de las típicas blancas de los hoteles)

- Toalla del lavamanos con unas manchas rojas de sangre u óxido.

- Hormigas (muchas) saliendo del lavamanos hacia el espejo en hilera.

- Bastante suciedad en la habitación, no era una limpieza a fondo sino por encima.

- Obligación de pagar en efectivo y no disponer de datáfono para hacer pagos con tarjeta de crédito, y encima al no poder pagar con efectivo por ser la última noche y no tener, me puso mala cara ofreciéndome pagar mediante transferencia ( con coste asumido por mi) lo hice sin pegas ya que era la única opción, pero no se creía que se la había hecho porque no le llegaba la confirmación del banco y cuando llegó ya se relajó. ( a pesar de enseñarle las confirmaciones desde mi móvil). La dueña fue desagradable durante esta situación.

- Cena cara y de poca calidad

Quiet and peaceful place , great food , kindest staff!
Pros:

It’s a 10/10 for us! This is our 2nd time visiting Riverhouse . I came last year with my husband and this time, we brought our 2 adult kids. The place is remote but Ms. Judith kindly organised a driver whenever we wanted to go somewhere. She also helped organising tours , and Riverhouse has the best cook!
Rooms are spacious, comfortable and has jungle feel with all the birds coming around . There will be for sure, a 3rd visit in the future! Thank you for the warmest welcome.

Cons:

Really nothing bad to say!

I can't think why anyone would want to stay somewhere else
Pros:

When you come to Coron and the area this is the best location if you enjoy nature and want to avoid the city noise and pollution. Birds may knock on your window to say good morning. The lively host Judith is there to help with everything.

Cons:

If you decide to take lunch there, the open restaurant can be tough at mid day with the heat and humidity by they provide fan which makes it tolerable.

Pros:

Beautiful place to be, but lots of bugs in the rooms, dinner was not great and there was a lot of shouting going on in the place. We were told the wifi would only work in the dinning are which we were fine with but it didnt even work there. It was a good place to be to go on. the Dugong trip though.

Superb
Pros:

We stayed for one night in March 2024 and we had a lovely time, it was great to have peace and quiet after some busy days in el nido and coron. We took out a kayak in the day and it was one one the best spots as there was no one around and we got to see some great things. In the evening Judith organised for us to go out to see the fireflies and plankton, (we didn’t have high hopes for this as other places had offered this on other trips and there was nothing) this was a magical experience as again we were the only ones on that stretch of water and we saw both very clearly.

Cons:

Only thing we missed was fishing, we had seen some mention it in previous reviews but we were unable to go out but we went on kayaks instead so not the end of the world

Can be better and excellent
Pros:

I wanted to say excellent BUT the trees were too tall where you do not see the view. And It was too hot coz the AC can't supply enough air according to the allocated room. They have provided extra fan, but no help since its blowing hot air. We did not really have a good rest, except of the tour and the food.

Cons:

Same. But was thankful and grateful for the hospitality they have shown.
