    -Super friendly staff, they really made the visit great -Location slightly outside of the buzz was perfect, a short motorbike ride away -Excellent value! Really what more could we say…also a lot of ease with renting motorbikes, refilling water… -We did a lot of boat tours in Philippines, the tour with Dong was the most chill and memorable, we really enjoyed -I see other comments about roosters and dogs making noises…I mean anywhere you go you will hear some roosters, personally I am a light sleeper and just had my earplugs sometimes and slept just fine, some days didn’t event need them -The water temperature was just perfect for us, not cold at all -No bugs or mosquitoes in the bungalow, and it was super nice and cool, no need for AC!

    Be aware that there is no hot water in the shower and that walls of bungalows are extremely thin so you'll hear everything. Room was quite dark. Extra light bulb would be appreciated. If you're looking for an exclusive stay that's not a place for you. Nevertheless, still great value for money.

    Great value for money. The place is a little bit on the side so it's relatively quiet although be prepared for early wake up by roosters if you're not wearing earplugs ;) Staff was very friendly and helped us arrange a snorkeling trip which was great. Bungalows are perfect for this price. There is a little terrace in front where you can chill, bed is quite comfy, there is a mosquito bed and overall everything is fine. You can order simple but very cheap breakfast from the staff and you can also make yourself instant coffee which is complimentary. Water refill is also free which is pretty much a standard in Philippines. In the beginning we had a small issue with water pressure but that got resolved quite quickly so again a plus for the staff for prompt action.

    If you wake easily the roosters will wake you, but we slept fine

    Ah, just a lovely spot. Nice staff and cute little bungalow to stay in. Can rent a scooter from them, take a great tour (we took 2) and vibe out

    Nothing, it was perfect - some comments talk about the chickens being loud in the mornings but honestly once you come to PB you’ll realise they are everywhere so hard to get away from, just helps you wake up nice and early to start the day!

    This place was just perfect. Just outside of the main town of Port Barton, so it was lovely and quiet but in walking distance. The room was so clean and well equipped, it’s quite rustic so sort of a glamping situation in a bamboo lodge with a private bathroom. The family who ran it are sooo lovely and friendly, always asking us if we needed anything or how our day was, they did our laundry and always had free drinking water for us! Couldn’t recommend it enough, it made our stay in PB so amazing!

    Unfortunately the neighbors have many roosters. Obviously the property can’t do anything about it, but if you’re a light sleeper like me, it can have serious challenges. I already have earbuds (which the property can also provide), but they didn’t work enough for me. I did move to another cabin which was great, but the best solution for me was just to go to bed early and wake up early, which is nice to rise with the sun up :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff, great huts, with proper mosquito net. All very clean. Free morning coffee and water throughout the day. The staff is really great!

    It's a cold shower but not even a big problem as I enjoyed it because of the heat.

    You can hear cocks and noise early morning but this happens in the whole village i believe.

    Beautiful chalets with private toilet and towels. There was also a fan, water and coffee available all the time for guests. It is 10min walk to the center and good value for money for a private chalé. The family working there was very sweet and helpul. They can help with tours and transport arrangement. They were also very nice to let us use the shower after checkout.

    The location is a bit further out of town.

    Beautiful cottage in the nature near Port Barton. The host is very kind and quickly feels like family. The garden is calm and offers a lot of place to relax.

    The owner was super nice and helpful with everything we needed. The location is pretty nice and the dogs around are very friendly. In the direct area around are a lot of chickens that are very loud. But you get used to it and at night you need to have oropax. If you are okay with that, it’s a loverly stay! To the centre it’s a walk of 15 min. You can rent a scooter from the owner. All in all we highly recommend and would love to come back someday!

    Chilled vibes, clean and tidy, they can organize activities at affordable prices.

    The bungalows were comfortable and very clean. The garden is beautiful and the owners/managers are super nice couple. Mr Dong arranged for us an amazing boat day trip (private boat) for 2000 PHP each. We snorkeled in multiple locations with seat turtle, coral reefs and had lunch on paradisiac island.

    The property is a little walk from the town and as a solo traveller the walk is a little dark getting back in the evening. I didn’t feel unsafe though and you can always get transport.

    What a lovely little spot! The family were so lovely too. Felt very at home here. The huts were clean and had their own bathroom.

    The property was a little far from the town, but honestly it was very nice walking around and you can also rent a scooter from the family. No wifi available, but it’s a good time to put your phone away.

    I spent my Christmas here and I think I haven’t stayed at a place that is as welcoming as Back Trippers Inn! The room was very comfortable and it was very peaceful, the hammock outside is a nice touch. The bed is also very comfortable! Amazing value for the price. The family owning this accommodation was extremely sweet and their daughter, Dimple, showed me a beautiful waterfall and the town. The family was always checking up on me, free coffee was always outside my hut and they were always talking to me, keeping me company and inviting me to celebrate Christmas with them. I felt very welcome and I couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas:) Salamat!

    It was quite noisy with dogs and cockerels. But nothing a good set of earplugs could sort. It was a little walk out of the town but could always get a ride.

    I loved the set up of the huts, the beds were really comfortable and it was nice having a space to chill. The family were soooo lovely too. Laundry service was excellent.
