    We had a rodent visitor, though it never got into the room, but we could hear it scuttling up and down the walls over our heads during the nights. The room smelt of damp, but this was likely also due to the heavy raining.

    Very relaxing atmosphere right by the sea. Unfortunately it was raining heavily throughout our time in Camiguin. But we didn't mind staying in at all as the property has a large green area with trees, and is right on the beach so perfect to relax. Maria and her family, who run the guesthouse, made our stay very pleasant. They were all very kind, helpful and accommodating. The room was clean and functional, one of the few places with a hot water shower. In the room there were also toiletries and useful items like a kettle, cutlery, hangers, and a lamp

    Breakfast was not part of the deal. Food and eating not allowed in rooms and during our stay we cannot buy food and snacks at the hotel store. No snacks were available to sell, the manager was nice enough to send a staff to a out side store to buy us a bottle of soda. He also helped order food to deliver to us.

    As the owners said...dont leave your food in the house or nearby. Ants will find the way to get in. Some problems with electricity in the neiborhood, but that is island life.

    Very nice Maria family, the owners. Arranged everything we asked for. Good fresh food and you can also order the food to bring you from local pizzeria. Nice rustic bamboo cottage with balcony over the sea. You can rent scooter for normal price. Good massage - room service from Ana. Near the airport in good location to drive around with scooter.

    Maybe just that we had to request for extra items that weren’t prepared in advance. I booked a room good for 2 people and the complimentary items were only for one person.

    The place where we stayed at was nice enough, good location and amenities. They were accommodating enough.

    Getting local transport can be a issue for some.

    Sea is right in front of premises. Quiet and very lay back atmosphere. Alfred is a delightful person and happy to assist with any questions. Has scooters for rent at a great price which you will need if you don't have a source of transport. Food is great too. Delightful place if you just want to lay back and relax.m

    They don't offer to clean the room. It can get very sandy after island hopping.

    Its location, beachfront and near the airport. The sound of the waves at night is relaxing.

    The couple that runs this place is so nice, I hate to find anything negative about the property, but there are several,easy fixes: more hooks would’ve been much appreciated to hang up our wet clothes. A new toilet seat would also be a nice touch. The one that’s in the room is barely hanging on with a zip tie, A small table next to the bed on each side would be nice. Also a table or some sort of surface area where You can put your suitcase instead of putting everything on the floor.  even though the place is somewhat remote. It’s pretty noisy in the morning, so bring your earplugs.

    The location was very convenient with access to lots of destinations. We wanted to visit. Alfred and Maria were super helpful and extremely niceWe had several amazing breakfasts overlooking the ocean. Fantastic mango juices each evening that we added our Tanguay rum to. A very nice balcony overlooking the ocean. Reasonably priced mopeds so that you can access everything you want to see. They dropped us off at the airport at the end of our weeklong stay.  the setting is beautiful with lots of trees and a nice ocean view. If you walk out into the ocean, there’s plenty of starfish. .

    We stayed at Borbons for 3 nights and had a lovely time. We were boundfully welcomed by their German shepherd and fully immersed in the more authentic camiguin experience. It was our first experience of life on the Philippine islands and although a shock to the system at first we felt a nice homely feeling whenever we returned to Borbons after a long day of exploring. The bed was very comfy and our little cocoon under the mosquito net became our little safe space as we adapted to island life. You fall asleep to the sound of the waves and the gecko noises in the night so you feel fully surrounded by nature. Bare in mind you will need to rent a scooter to get anywhere or hire tuk tuks as it's quite a long walk to town. We could rent a bike from the owners to explore the island who were on the whole helpful when we needed them. The place is right on the beach line and provided a great view at sunset. Waking up to a breakfast overlooking the sea as well was very nice. This place will always have a small space in our hearts forever.

    Located directly at the shore, it's very quiet (if you don't count the waves). They rent motorbikes, which is necessary on this island. The breakfast is huge and tasty, and the staff was very helpful. I hope they will reopen the restaurant (or at least as a bar), which would be great for socialising.
