Homestays in Central Visayas, Philippines

That's the end of our stay at this hotel in the executive suite. What we liked: Hotel location; Gorgeous landscapes from the room window; Pool area; Spacious swimming pool; Spacious room; The pool is properly planned; Very cute dogs and cats. They cheered us up.; The staff is very polite and tries to help with everything.; Relaxing massage; There was oatmeal on the breakfast menu, which is rare in the Philippines.; Your requests are being listened to. What didn't you like: A small selection of paid breakfast. There is no buffet and you need to choose from the menu. But you can only choose 1 dish and drink for each one. In other words, don't expect to try even a couple of dishes for prepaid money. Here you can choose only 1 dish for breakfast. The rest is paid. It became clear only on the 3rd day of the stay, as they could not understand how the breakfast system worked. We were charged 390 Philippine pesos for SPAM (or rather, three slices of local ham). It's expensive for this kind and quantity of food. •On the last day, the cost of paying for a fruit plate increased. It was 350 pesos, it became 400. •When ordering tom yam, we asked for additional shrimp (+250 pesos). We were served soup with 7 shrimp halves. We still haven't figured out how many shrimps there would have been without the extra ones we paid for. 🙈We thought they forgot to add additional ones. Then we saw the bill and additional shrimps were deposited. •Few seafood dishes. Considering that you are 50 meters from the sea. There are also few products with vegetables. We suffered because of this. There was no light food. •The leaves in each salad were stale. •Service fees were from everything. We understand when the service fee is for food, but we still don't understand why the fee was for a massage. That is, the fee for the massage + the service FEE for the massage. •There were also fees for filming shark swimming on our phone. We also did not understand why the fee, if the tour itself cost 7,500 pesos + 300 pesos was a service fee (again, we do not understand why it is not included in the total cost of the tour) + 260 pesos for shooting on the phone; I was disappointed that when booking an excursion to swim with sharks for 7,500 pesos, fishing was included, but no one offered it to us. They just took us, we swam and brought it back. They say the tour took 5 hours, but it was two and a half hours. •Hand soap has not been refilled in two days; • The automatic circulation of water in the pool was rarely turned on, so we swam with flies for two days... trying to catch them from there; •The performers were an hour late for the first tour, and 30 minutes late for the second. We don't understand why our time wasn't respected. • One shower wasn't working. There was no water coming out of it; • Often they didn't bring half of the dish. That is, if you ordered a meat plate with grapes, cheese and crackers, be prepared that I may not bring you crackers, but there will be 3 pieces of cheese. That's for 590 pesos. We ordered this plate twice, and two times we didn't get any crackers. The second time we asked and they informed us. Also, when ordering mashed potatoes with chicken, they brought us chicken without mashed potatoes. We asked and were informed. Everything was already cold. They didn't add a banana to the banana pancakes. Unfortunately, curtains are not blackout, for those who cannot sleep without them, bring a sleep mask. I write absolutely all the little things, as I am very careful about the service. I really liked this hotel. In any case, I recommend it wholeheartedly. After all, they communicate politely with you here, there are gorgeous views from a spacious room, and there is a large swimming pool. But I have to write down the little things so that the management can improve the quality of service so that staying at this hotel leaves only positive emotions for absolutely everyone! After all, the hotel is really beautiful!

A small, cozy hotel with clean, well-maintained rooms and beautiful grounds. You can always grab a meal at the restaurant. The staff was incredibly helpful; they assisted us with booking a ferry, arranging transfers, and even drove us around to see the sights.

If you are looking for a fancy stay, this isn't it. But if you just need a place to sleep for a very cheap price, Aosmec CampHotel is definitely worth it. It’s perfect for solo travelers or backpackers who are only in Manila for a quick layover or a US Embassy appointment. The ”rooms” are actually indoor tents, which is a unique experience. Even though you're in a tent, the air conditioning in the main area is strong, so it stays cool enough to sleep comfortably. The location is the best part—you are right in the middle of everything, close to malls and transport. Just keep in mind that since it’s a shared space, it can get a bit noisy when other people move around or unzip their tents. If you bring earplugs and don’t mind sharing a bathroom, you really can’t beat the price. For a low-budget stay, it’s a solid 4/5 stars.

The hotel is old. There are rotten parts in the pool area, and you could fall through the wooden floors. The hotel is far from the city center, and it's impossible to walk to any amenities. However, the hotel's cuisine is excellent, the rooms are clean, and the service is top-notch.

Our stay is so wonderful even we stayed just for 1 night but the accommodation is really good. It feels like home, the staff are very friendly and always willing to help. The room is clean and tidy, the place is quiet which is good when you working online, and good for family spending time together. the internet connection is strong. They also have motorbike for rent that is very convenient when you go outside. Or they can help you for tuktuk. Last thing is the breakfast is good, we love it. Recommended.

Excellent, clean hostel. Booked through Trip.com with no deposit required, but for some reason, they demanded one upon arrival, saying they wouldn't check me in otherwise. Had to argue a bit, explaining it was my second time at this hostel and I hadn't left a deposit before.

The staff were truly wonderful — very kind and helpful throughout my stay, which I really appreciated. The price is also quite affordable. However, I found the accommodation itself quite uncomfortable. The room lacked proper ventilation, and there was a noticeable smell. The air conditioning was old and quite noisy, and there was constant background noise, including water sounds and little to no sound insulation from neighboring rooms. Basic comfort elements like the pillows, mattress, and bed linen also did not meet expectations. Additionally, the window situation was not ideal. Unfortunately, despite the great staff and reasonable price, I would not choose to stay here again.

Clean, compact, and fully functional. It's very close to the shopping areas, making it perfect for those staying in Cebu for one night before heading to Bohol. It's extremely good value for money, definitely better than hotels of the same price in Taiwan. Plus, a famous local fast-food restaurant is just a minute's walk away.

The hotel is very beautiful, like an oasis. Outside the hotel the view is completely different. The service is excellent, they helped organize a trip to the sharks, called a taxi to the airport, since the grab does not work there. There is a 3 m pool for scuba divers. There were not enough large towels, they gave 4 small ones. In the mornings there was no hot water, barely warm.
