Gorgeous little resort filled with lush banana and palm trees, butterflies, flowers and bird song. Rooms were lovely with a nice big bed and much needed aircon! Staff are so helpful and friendly, keen to book activities, transport, plus things like laundry if you need it doing. Good breakfast selection and tasty food available for lunch and dinner too (especially the aubergine omelette!!) Would also recommend the Fox & Firefly Cottages for dinner next door :) It’s right on the river with friendly locals around, and very easy to do firefly tours, river cruises etc for super cheap prices.

Nothing.

The resort is located right on the river Loboc. It is a basic accommodation (if you want more space take the family room), but what makes it a good choice is the staff. Staff is really friendly and going out of their way to provide you immediately with whatever transportation/tours/activities you wish and very very friendly.

-the internet is quite slow (but this is probably a general issue of the area, as mobile data was bad too) -the bathroom window could have had mosquito net. We had mosquitos enter the bathroom. Staff immediately sprayed which removed them of course, but a net is a simpler solution.

The property is right on the river, with a pleasant courtyard. We stayed in the large air-conditioned room, which was was very spacious and comfortable. The staff were always ready to help but never pushy. The people of Bohol are amazing. They organized a private river cruise which left right from the property, and went to some small falls where we could swim, passing by the floating restaurant tours. We were accompanied and entertained by Jerris one of the most enthusiastic and friendly local students doing a work experience for school. They also organized a tour of the countryside in a tuk-tuk with Pedro. Great option to see the countryside close up with stops at zip line, chocolate hills, tarsier sanctuary, other animal sanctuary and waterfall for swimming. There is a restaurant onsite and their breakfast was good. One of us is vegetarian so we ate mostly at the restaurant next door which has a large vegetarian/vegan menu and fabulous food. Drinking water is available from water jugs anytime and prices for tours etc are reasonable.

This, by far, was my favourite place to stay during our two week holiday. I loved the bamboo accommodation and being so close to the river. We went on a wonderful boat ride at night. It was so dark, but the sky was lit with a million stars. Along the river bank, only the outlines of different trees and shrubs could be seen, while fireflies danced on a few of the treetops. An enchanted place♥️

Cash only restaurant and for the activities. Even though one could get to an ATM/bank, I would have done more and eaten more (!) if I didn't have to budget the cash we had.

Very clean Tranquil - it has two other options for restaurants nearby (we recommend the fox and the firefly a few steps away from the resort) and a lovely local village. TukTuks are available to take you to places further away. Beautiful, traditional cottages. Extremely accommodating and hardworking staff who love to help. Gardens are stunning. Rooms cleaned every day. Food prepared was delicious and always fresh. We ate at the property 3/5 night for dinner. Breakfast had many options and all very good portion sizes/very tasty. Fresh towels and bedding ever other day We did a firefly tour with them which they booked 400 pesos. Cathy (the cook’s) husband was our driver for the ‘Countryside tour’. We visited chocolate hills, Tarsier sanctuary, secret falls and the double hanging bridge for a good price! He was also available to take us to the island hopping tour - I would suggest booking this with a company before you arrive then ask Cool River to arrange transport. A additional fan is offered in each room for no additional cost. We had such a lovely stay and loved being surrounded by nature!

A sunlounger to be able to sit outside in the sun on days where you do not have excursions booked would be nice. A larger decking space by the river so that people can sit with drinks on bean bags/chairs. Air con in each room would make these cottages even more amazing!

Lovely staff, really warm and helpful. The gardens are very pretty, the common room is comfortable, there are plenty of rental amenities and activities that they arrange, and the location is great - peaceful and quiet. The breakfast (especially the pancakes!) is tasty.

The shower was a little hard to figure out and a little weak in power. It gets quite humid in the rooms, but it is normal as it’s so close to the river!

We had the great luck to choose this place to spend our Christmas. The owner and the staff made our stay unforgettable, and for that, we are very thankful. The hotel is cozy and very clean with a small cabins around a garden. The rooms are beautifully decorated and had a big comfortable bed with several pillows, and outside you have a little porch to relax. Also I recommend you to try the restaurant. We loved the carbonara and the chicken curry for a really good price. Thank you all :)

Nothing to mention!

really lovely staff, decent size huts and en-suites. the food was delicious and drinks very reasonably priced. no air on but the fan worked just as well. we liked the location, a little quieter and you do need a moped or tricycle to get around but easy to access areas of interest if you have these (they do moped rentals!). good suggestions of things to do and arranged a beautiful firefly tour for us. laundry smelled lovely and very clean upon return - socks were whiter than when they went in!

by the looks of it, they are looking into it but without earplugs it would have been a struggle to sleep as the rooms are connected by the roof. depends on your neighbours but we use earplugs and were fine, so just bring some with you and you’ll sleep anyway.

All staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Location was so peaceful. Great value for money.

The inappropriate and offensive sign for NT, Australia in the dining area should be removed. Smoking in the restaurant where people are eating should be discouraged.

The location next to the river is so beautiful and the style of the huts is lovely and traditional. The rooms are basic but the bed is very comfortable and you have everything you need. They suggested the best activities around and arranged them for us for great prices. The staff is super friendly and kind and the food they serve is cheap and delicious as well as the breakfast and smoothies!
