Great location, short tuktuk ride or 30 minute walk from the busy Alona Beach area and nice to escape to somewhere more quiet at night. Friendly staff and a nice welcome. Simple but nice breakfast. Air con powerful. Room spacious with a good fridge. Very clean and bed comfortable. TV with Netflix, prime etc. internet generally good.

The shower pressure was weak, but I think this is quite standard in the Philippines. The property has a small dog which is kept downstairs and barks a lot overnight. The room would benefit from a table lamp to allow softer light in the evening - the light in the ceiling is very bright and harsh.

One thing that I liked about the place was you will never be treated like a guest, instead they (Ate Mitch and Ate Hedda) will treat you like their own family member. A walking distance to the beach, which is a good site to watch the sun set. You can also walk to Alona centre, though can be a tad far, but can be your exercise for the day. But why walk, when you can rent their motorbikes, or even get driven by kuya Joseph to where you want on his tuktuk for a better price than the usual. A place for those on a budget, but wants to feel special and immerse on a local boholano family culture.

- lovely staff: Mitch was so helpful and friendly as were the other staff we encountered like the lady who cooked us breakfast every day and arranged a tuk tuk for us to the port - Katy the dog! Although it was sad to see her on her lead a lot of the time, but she was such a lovely little dog! - good sized room, with Netflix and AC! - moped hire - we had a great moped for 4 days - books downstairs to exchange - lovely dining area/common area space with plenty of chairs to relax - lots of convenient stores nearby, a yummy bakery and a local, affordable restaurant just opposite to the right with some lovely staff

- the shower was very weak - lots of ants in the bedroom which ended up in the bed too :( - not a problem for us but if you want to get to the beach and the main part of town you’d need to get on a moped or a tuk tuk

Mitch was a great host! She gave me a lot of recommendations and was very lovely! They invited me to have a traditional Philippines snack which they eat during Holy Week! The first night I was in the Family Room which I’ll recommend as it’s spacious, have AC, have tables and a sofa! The second night I stayed in the Triple room which doesn’t have AC, only fan and it’s very simple. I guess if you are not traveling during March - May, fan would be enough. The beach close by is not great for swimming (but has a beautiful sunset!) as it has lots of boats but if you have a motorcycle or are willing to catch the tricycle, you can go to other beaches like Dumaluan which is lovely!

I came to realize that across the Philippines the water pressure is not great! So it’s not necessary something I didn’t like about this place, but more of a heads up! I learned how to use the bucket to rinse myself as it was more effective than the shower head! 😅

It was absolutely AMAZING. We extended for two, three more nights simply because it was so lovely. The shared room had AC, and was a decent size, and the bathroom was in great condition. Most importantly, it was the people here that made it so incredible! Mitch, took such good care of us, even when one of us became sick, other than that, she gave us some great recs of whats good around bohol. Her staff were also super accomodating and lovely. I feel like Intoys place became like a second home to me x Would come back to here for sure

Nothing at all, everything was just grand

Clean, newish, staff, location, all great.

The only thing I found which Could, I say could be difficult, because I stayed in the 4bed dorm. Would be IF there had actually been 4 adults in that tiny room and only 1 bathroom. It’s very small. While I was there..only 1 other person came. So 2 of us in the 4bed dorm room. And I gotta be honest, I almost pee’d in my pants while the other guy was using the 1bathroom. I can’t imagine that room with 4 adults and all the belongings as well. It’s a TINY ROOM. Besides that. Everything else was fantastic. Highly recommended. Maybe do a private room if there’s already 2 ppl in the dorm.

The best thing was the staff, always friendly and happy to do what they can to make the stay more comfortable. The bed was comfy, the AC good, and I like this area, being further away from Alona and quieter.

I did not realise the room had cold shower only (thought the staff offered to give me warm water for bucket style shower) and the room was the closest to the road, so could have some noise at times (though most of the noise was dogs barking right out of my ground floor room really). All in all, minor things.

Breakfast was simple, but it proved to be more than enough for me. It was eggs and toast with a side of butter, fruit jam + coffee for you to prepare. There's a water dispenser good for both hot and cold drinks. Imee in particular was generous enough to ask me if I wanted more toast, I was just too shy to accept the offer. The place also served other food options, which was a relief compared to most food establishments nearby and along Alona Beach.

An extra pillow and a bidet would have been useful. I had a hard time minding my business in the toilet as I only had a roll of toilet paper going on for me. The pillow was too thin for me, so I left the place with back with shoulder problems LOL

The owner of the hostel is adorable. She invited us to a typical Filipino birthday, we had diner and enjoyed a karaoke. The experience was amazing. In addition, the hostel is super calm, it’s based 3 minutes away from the beach and the breakfast is included.

I will not recommend the laundry service, we waited 48h instead of 6h initially to have our clothes back.

Great location just outside of Panglao beach. Were able to rent a motorbike which made getting around so easy. Staff were wonderful and helped us with recommendations on where to go during our stay in Bohol. Room was very clean and overall a great place to stay in Panglao.

Lots of chickens at a nearby property which made sleeping quite tough. Cockerels going off all night. No fault of the property but just something to bear in mind.
