The villagers were friendly and helpful. We ate local prepared village dishes from the Sari Sari shop just down the stairs from CBHaus. The room was hot and basic, but clean. The owners were friendly and helpful. CBHaus overlooks the village. The money we saved on food and accommodation helped us to do more adventures and day trips. The village is hidden from sight and tourist don't venture here.

Rooms were quite hot. It was a little difficult to find as you have to go down a small alley way and through a local village. Some signage would be helpful.

Basic rooms. Good for short stay. Kitchen is well equipped and included free drinking water. Close to the beach and less than a 10 minute walk to main attractions and restaurants in Coron.

Bathrooms could be more clean, and some toilet paper would be nice. There is no hot water and no A/C only fan available in the room

Nice and friendly staff and good price

Stayed in February 2025

No airflow in the room. The price is high for what you get, BUT is reasonable for El Nido as everything here is expensive. The walls are very thin so other (inconsiderate) guests can keep you awake

Location was fantastic, not too far from the bus station and walking distance from the beach and all the bars and eateries with lots of shops close by. The family caretakers were lovely, very friendly and always helpful, and kept everywhere clean. The room was small and dark, but we knew this before booking from the pictures. It had an opening window with fly screen, and a fan. The accommodation is up the hill in the village. All the local people are really friendly and helpful. There are 8/10 rooms, 5 at the back with the window opening onto a wall (which we had) and 5 opening out over the village. The 2 toilets and 2 showers are shared by all 10 rooms so can be a bit busy at times, but was never a problem. The kitchen area has a few utensils, 2 gas rings for cooking and free drinking water, tea and coffee. There is also a seating area in the kitchen and outside with a hammock. We booked a scooter for the day with a local shopkeeper in the village for a very reasonable price. WiFi was the BEST we've had in the six weeks we've been in the Philippines

Only one fork in the kitchen and you have to park your scooter 2min walk away from the house because it's on a hillside. Only cold shower but for me it wasn't a problem.

We were surprised because it only had a 6,5 rating on booking.com. Luckily our window was towards the valley so there is almost nothing to complain about. The staff can help you with tours and the accomodiation was really clean. The kitchen can be really useful and the unli free drinking water was also good. Quiet location in a small village behind el nido port. Wifi alright and necessary because bad sim reception in this area. Fan into the direction of the bed for a good sleep. Toilet paper and towels provided.

No active contact number. The facilities location is very hard to find. The comfort rooms are not properly cleaned by other occupants.

Home-yyy ambiance, very simple accommodation but good enough to stay.

There is a short water interruption in the morning but it's just for 1 hour.

Lady staff (Joan)is very accommodating to all my quiries. I know the room and bathroom is clean coz I saw her doing it every morning. You can cook, and do your laundry (hand wash) and hung it outside. Message Joan first before going there to give you the instructions how to go to CB haus. Follow me in IG : HAVEYOUMETPIA

The path to get to the accommodation is very interesting. We never felt unsafe (and it was really nice to get "good mornings" from the locals everyday) but it was a proper locals village and showed the reality of life for the poorer workers. The accommodation itself is absolutely fine. Unfortunately the local government prioritises the electricity for the big hotels and main tourist area, as a result they stop giving electricity to the local villages, on rotation. On Saturday night, presumably to power the important disco lights etc, we were left with no electricity (therefore no fans) for 8 hours one night. There is nothing the host can do about it, unfortunately.

Great price for El Nido. The hosts are really friendly. The room was clean with good storage. Very clean bathroom with good power in the shower. Short walk into town.

Nightmare to find and the toilets don't flush so good.

Really lovely family who host. Room is an ok size. Has a kitchen. Quite away from the main strip although pretty central .

The location was really good. A cheap place. The stay was nice!

Situated in the local neighbourhood 'Cabugao'. - Quiet, away from El Nido's (busy) touristic centre, yet still close to it. - Superfriendly staff. Joan picked me up from the main street. - Free water. - A kitchen, where you can cook. - Price value.

Nice local community of families living in El Nido. The place is clean and comfortable. A nice area to stay

The only negative thing is the weak wifi and really bad internet connection. So not good for people who work remote. But it's definitely not the hosts failure. Everything else was amazing!

It's in the middle of a local village, 100m away from the main streets. It takes you a 10 minutes walk to the middle of the center. The staff was awesome and the room really clean and comfy. You can use the kitchen and there is also a sitting area outside. I totally enjoyed my stay.

It's a bit hard to find, especially if arriving at dark. We had problems finding it but locals helped us. We didn't call the owner but I'm sure they would help immediately if contacted!

The place is in a good location as walking distance from the main road with restaurants and from the port (15min by walk). WiFi work goods. Toilet and kitchen are clean, bed are comfortable and it's a good value for the money. We arrived late but the staff was very nice and welcoming.

The room was warmer than the outside temperature and the fan didn't help much. The location is rather out of the action and the walk to the accommodation is anything but pleasant.

The room was quiet. The bathrooms were quite clean, but there was no sink there. You had to wash your hands and brush your teeth in the kitchen, which you were allowed to use.

Only thing is that the room was quite hot. Only fan room.

super clean, good kitchen to cook your own food, lots of small shops arround to buy food. Friendly staff who can organise shuttle and bike rentals and tours!

The location is not as the same as it is shown on the app. It is a local village which is poor and dirty, however, it was a good experience to know how it is the real way to live in Philippines. The second day had a electricity outage. Luckily just for a couple of hous

The staff is friendly

Firat, the property doesn’t really show where it is located. the outside is something that u cannot expect and you should be aware before booking. Second, to find it it took us 20 min or more; we were with a local taxi driver who helped us and was super kind but even for him it was super difficult. we needed to call twice and ask to different people on the street once we arrive there, we needed to get thought an alley of trash, crossed several insecure little “bridges” and then there are local ppl house and u need to go upstairs at some point. Forth, the bathroom. the bathroom was essentially a closet with a shower Fidth, the room itself was very small. I felt I was claustrophobic I was not expecting anything luxurious but I have been in el nido in better places for just 200 pesos more. Clean places and spacious

needs a sink in the bathroom to brush teeth

Cheap room in El Nido with a shared kitchen, staff nice and helpful. It’s located in a local neighbourhood with a small local shop nearby, all very friendly.

-Location is just not what I imagined. Sure it's only a few minutes to the beach but to get to the accommodation you have to navigate through a local village from the main road. There's no paved road, several wooden worn down bridges, narrow dark alley ways and steep uneven stairs. Beware the path is dotted with animal feces and other dirt /debris. Definitely not  suitable if you have mobility problems or traveling with big /lots of luggage. I stepped into dog shit so many times, kinda dampens the whole paradise mood. -Very narrow bed with a sliver of matrass. Not suitable for couples. -No wifi nor cell phone reception. Very isolated, not recommend when you need internet -One big mosquito fest. Have to put repellent just to go the toilet. - there was a big rat in the kitchen rummaging through the trash bin -I had some concerns about fire safety or safety in general - lots of animal noise and fighting stray dogs, didn't have one night of good sleep - just 2 toilets and one is missing a seat. - just 1 working shower with cold water for 10 rooms, potentially 20 people?

- Communication was swift and reception  friendly so I feel kinda bad writing this but the whole picture needs to be painted for travellers to make an informed decision. -Somewhat clean space from first glance though the method of cleaning is not very hygienic (dirty old rags, no soap used, hand washed linens). They should have provided indoor slippers as the unspoken rule was to walk around barefoot. -it's budget friendly for El Nido and if you're looking for a slice of very local simple life this is it

Could be improved with WiFi as our phone signal was not good in this area. Also only one shower was working which meant sometimes we had to wait. Be prepared, the walk up to the stay is dark and sometimes a little dirty but overall would recommend this stay.

Good location, withing walking distance to everything you could need. Good space room for the price. Lovely staff. Good value for money in El Nido Very very clean!
