Mamina, Saudi Arabia

Hot showers. Great big bed, good pillows, cold aircon and fan. Beautiful place in an amazing location! Walking distance to everything!!! Had to leave aday early due to sustaining an injury. Hostel staff heard about my injury and met my partner & i at the Palawan medical centre. Staff were so helpful and assisted my partner to return to the room and pack up all our things. Staff from hostel even accompanied us all the way to the runway carrying our bags when we i was medivac to Manilia. The owner of the hostel visited my partner (i was in surgery) in hospital bringing us food and telling us to contact him should we require anything. Staff were so sweet to us and went absolutely above and beyond to help us.

The location was great, and the staff were very helpful. They helped us organize our tours, and they were always attentive to our needs. The place is near a lot of great places to eat out after coming back from a day of tours or other activities. We were first in an uncomfortable room because there wasn't any wifi, a lot of noise nearby, and only one of the outlets was working, but the staff quickly changed our room.

Laura, United Kingdom

Located at the city center. Everything is accessible by foot. Has air-conditioning, water heater, generator (yes, brown-outs are common in el nido), and complete amenities. The staff were really accommodating especially the owners. They even let us stay beyond our supposed check-out time, and they helped us book our van on the way back to Puerto Princesa.

The wifi didn't work that well, and it can be a bit noisy sometimes. However, El Nido is growing, and there is a lot of construction around, and since the guesthouse is in the center of town, it's expected to a bit noisy.

Although ear plugs are provided the room is very noisy as so close to road, best to request a room towards back of property.
Staff were very helpful in booking tours, renting motorbikes and general advice. Coffee and tea upstairs were great. Room very comfortable.

Walls are not sound proof. You have to be considerate to your neighbors by not making loud noises and talking loudly especially at night.

There was no TV in the room but that’s very understandable based on the price. There are some other minor things here and there but we only have good things to say about this place.
We stayed here from July 24-26, 2018. Everyone was super nice. From the owners to the staff, they were all very accommodating. The room we got was very spacious and had both an AC and a ceiling fan. The bed was comfy and the blanket was nice. They even have free brewed coffee! If you’re looking for a mid-range place with the best bang for your buck, then book your stay at Balay Paragua. This place is totally worth it especially if you’re on a budget.
