During our entire stay, we were able to truly relax and enjoy a peaceful retreat. The neighborhood is serene, with little noise—no tricycles or city disturbances—making it feel like you're miles away from the hustle and bustle, yet it's only a 20-minute drive from the city. The house itself has a cozy, homely vibe. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, from the welcoming mini lobby to the comfortable sofa area. The room was not only spacious but also provided great comfort, and the Wi-Fi connection was strong throughout our stay. Though the water pressure was a bit slow in the mornings, it was still manageable and didn’t affect our overall experience. The owner was exceptionally accommodating and considerate, leaving helpful messages that made it easy to settle in and navigate the house without needing his constant presence. Overall, our stay was secure and enjoyable. This place is highly recommended for those visiting nearby attractions or anyone simply looking to unwind on vacation. It’s perfect for families, and friends. Thank you sir AJ from: Al Bencent, Ann and Mellaine

Uñattractive neighborhood. Far from centre. Cebu city is nothing Nice. Better stay south or north of cebu.

No breakfast, took it outsider only or delivery. Nice and helpul owner. Comfort sufficient but nothing romantic.

not much negative to say as overall my stay was great. the only down point would be getting woken up by some annoying dogs barking in the morning but this is usual in the Philippines and beyond the host’s control

wow! this was such a beautiful home and AJ was an excellent host - welcoming, warm and interesting to talk with, he made me feel very comfortable. location was quiet, peaceful and safe. didn’t cook with the kitchen but it was very well-equipped. my bed was comfortable and the facilities were good

It is not for all though. PWDs and Seniors might find it not easy. The rooms are on the second and third floor, while the bathroom is shared on the third floor only.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The place is safe and secured, inside a quiet and guarded subdivision. The house is homely, and you would feel like you never left home. The host is nice and very accommodating. He provided towels and toiletries, and allowed us to use his kitchen.

Location is pretty far from the airport(about 40min on taxi) and for a guys is okay, but might be bit inconvenient for females to walk around at night

Host was nice, the room and the bathroom was very clean

Location is a bit off the center which was clear but getting transportation to the city center was harder than expected. It being during the festival certainly didn’t help but it’s a thing to keep in mind.

Great stay, AJ was a gracious host with plenty of recommendations and conversation. Rooms were very clean and well maintained. Quiet sector.

aircon inside the room

the house ia clean but the aircon is not working good

Stayed in August 2023

Air-conditioner is loud. But it's not only in this place. All aircon in Cebu are loud. So I don't blame. Towel smells stink. It's clean and good quality towel but they need to use more laundry detergen or fabric softener.

Room is better than photo. It's beautiful, clean, cozy and private. Amenities are on point. Everything is convenient. Entire house is clean and well decorated. Since this is bnb house, it's a bit away from city center. But not too far away. Which I like it even more. It's in quiet and secure area. I felt safe the whole time. Address works well with grab car or delivery. But this address doesn't show up on Google map, so if you want to go back there with other transportation such as normal taxi or bike taxi, you have to know the area to guide to drivers. Bed is comfortable. Shower was pleasant with clean bathroom and good amount of water pressure. Although hot shower doesn't really work, but the weather in cebu is extremely hot, so it didn't bother me much. Owner AJ is very friendly, has good heart and good energy. I really appreciate to him. If I go back to cebu, I will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Very nice, quiet and safe place to stay. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. Air conditioning and wifi worked very well. We highly recommend this accommodation. We had the best care we could get from AJ (the owner). This stay greatly enriched our visit in Filipines. Thank you so much AJ for your kindness and your care. We are very happy to have had the opportunity to meet you! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Nothing

We definitely loved our stay at AJ’s Haven. It was like staying at your relative’s house - Sir AJ felt like a family member. He made sure our entire stay was comfortable and he was cordial to all his guests. His house was beautiful, cozy, and squeaky clean! The place was safe because it’s inside a quiet and secluded subdivision. It was just a few minutes away from the commercial areas so staying at his place was convenient and accessible. I also love how we got to interact with the other guests and I even made friends with them. I’ll absolutely book another stay at AJ’s place when I visit Cebu City again.

Location was a pro and a con. We picked it because we know it wouldn’t be loud at the area due to very low traffic on the road. Con, it’s quite a drive to get to the malls and restaurants around town. But other than the one con, there’s nothing not to like about this property!

AJ’s Haven was very ‘homey’ to us, out of all the places we’ve been, it’s the best one so far that is very comparable to what we call home. Owner AJ was also very accommodating and very easy to deal business with. It was very close by to a lot of express laundromats surprisingly— we’re a couple on a month long backpacking trip touring the Visayas region, so it’s very important to have things very accessible to us, in which this property has provided. The house and our room was extremely clean and tidy, no clutter at all. The kitchen was always clean and tidy as well during our stay which made us very happy though we didn’t get the chance to use it other than the dining table. It was equipped with a lot of the things we use back home which made us feel even more at home. The beddings were extremely comfortable!! It was like waking up to our own bed on own home. We felt safe and very comfortable on our stay, definitely a 10 out of 10.

There was nothing I didnt like.

A gorgeous house, fastidiously looked after by a very friendly gentleman. While the property may be a little out of the City for some, it was ideally located for my visit to family in Pardo, and a short ride is well worth it for the highest standard of accommodation I've experienced in 16 years of visiting Cebu.
