Homestays in Western Visayas, Philippines

"I chose a sea view room, and every day when I opened the curtains, I was greeted by the ocean. The toilet in the bathroom was a smart toilet. The hotel is conveniently located directly opposite the departure point for island hopping tours. A tuk-tuk ride costs 200 pesos, and it's also a short walk to D'Mall. The only drawback is that there's no table in the sea view room; it would be even better if there was one. On a side note, on my first night, after showering and getting into bed, I felt something poke my back. I reached around and found a fingernail, which I threw into the trash. When I shifted in bed, I found another toenail! I initially thought it belonged to my family, but it didn't. I had no choice but to call the front desk to get the sheets and duvet cover changed. I hope the owner can pay more attention to cleanliness."

"Hotel room doesn't have its own bathroom. Location wise it is very near the center of kalibo. Staffs are friendly. Room was clean enough. A bit of letdown was the absence of a private bathroom had to use a common one outside down the hallway."

"I am so happy that I chose Boracay Breeze Hotel for my trip! From the moment I arrived until I checked out, everything was perfect. • Location: The location is great! Super convenient at madaling puntahan ang mga highlights sa island. • Cleanliness: Sobrang linis ng rooms and the entire hotel. You can tell they really maintain the place well. • Staff Services: This is the highlight of my stay! All the staff are so friendly—lagi silang nakasmile at bumabati tuwing makikita ka. You really feel the warm welcome and excellent service. • Amenities: Everything I needed was there, and it made my stay very comfortable. Super happy talaga ako sa experience na ito. To all the staff, thank you for making our vacation extra special. Babalik ako rito for sure! Highly recommended! 🏖️✨"

"I booked this hotel for my mom because the website said breakfast was included, which was a nice bonus. However, I was disappointed that there wasn’t even a complimentary bottle of water in the room. It would have been a small but thoughtful touch to make guests feel more welcome. Overall, I hope the hotel considers improving these little details for future guests."

"Great ocean view."

"We book this hotel and we stayed here two nights and the experience we got is blast! We are happy with the room we got and we are so very happy because we experience Belmont. The people inside are so hospitable and easy to approach, whenever they see you the greet you with a happy face. We will definitely book this hotel again in the future! Best to recommend."

"A stunning place to live on the island of Borakai! The location is delicious, to the sea go 2 minutes. Nearby is very safe and quiet. There are cafes and shops. To the center go about 10-12 minutes, very close. It was very nice that the housing is far from noise, but at the same time close to all the venue places) A separate thank you to the master! It is an incredibly hospitality man, responded to any request, invited us to a Filipino dinner on the roof, always helped! When we come to Borakai next time, we will definitely stop here!"

"We stayed at the villa in November 2025. There weren't many reviews, so we were apprehensive. In the end, everything was great! It's important to understand that the villa is ”tired”; the furniture isn't new, although the plumbing has clearly been replaced. There are four bedrooms. The largest is on the second floor, with a private kitchen, balcony, and its own large bathroom. There's also another bedroom on the second floor, but it's very small. There's a bed to the right of the entrance and a bathroom to the left (without a door, which surprised us). On the ground floor is a large living room, where we spent time with friends. There's also a separate bedroom, quite large, with a wardrobe, chest of drawers, and bedside tables. Opposite the bedroom is a large bathroom. We decided not to share it, but to share it with those staying in this bedroom. Beyond the door is another small bedroom with its own bathroom (luckily, with a door). In general, if you're going there with a big group, you'll have to draw lots to decide who sleeps where. 🤣 But it's a huge deal. A house-like accommodation for two families with children is also pretty good and incredibly affordable. The villa is 20 meters from the sea, where there aren't any big hotels and, consequently, crowds. It's relatively deep, which was a plus for us. There's a store, a bunch of cafes, and the second station where all the action is within walking distance. During the day, there's a staff member at the villa if you need anything. There's a security guard stationed at the villa from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, making sure no one gets in, so we felt safe. We never had to ask for cleaning, even though we did. Towels are changed without fail, and beach towels are also provided. Cons: no blankets (only sheets), fairly hard mattresses, no blackout curtains, an awkwardly located outdoor shower that requires careful maneuvering to avoid sand at the entrance, no sun loungers or umbrellas (just a palm tree and a towel), tired furniture and dishes if you plan to cook (we didn't need to, eating in the cafe). In any case, the price is worth it. I would definitely go back!"

"I had a pleasant stay at Avida Towers Atria. The amenities were definitely the highlight—top-notch and very enjoyable! The room was clean and the location is quite convenient for getting around. While the service was just okay and could use a bit of improvement in terms of responsiveness, the overall experience was good for a solo traveler. Great value for the facilities provided."
