we love the view, the food, the staff are nice, owner is friendly, perfect place.

So worth the trek up, amazing space and view, finally a real bathroom! Bellmen helped carry bags to and from the nests, all the way to the street

Excelente view. Great staff. Excellent food. Very into the wild.

This exceeded all my expectations. What a view, just amazing! We stayed at Nest 2, which had the sea view. Waking up here was magical. Very spacious and with your own private bathroom. Food at the restaurant was good and very friendly staff! Participated yoga sunset class, which was a great experience. The view is just stunning.

Our stay at the birdhouse was truly spectacular!! Not one bad thing to say about it. The experience would not of been the same without the staff who work so hard there, they are all so welcoming and helpful. We will defiantly be returning.

What’s not to like. Very cool location, very cool design and cute anecdotes dotted around. Staff very friendly and attentive. Knock out views.

Absolutely loved the experience. We arranged pick up/drop off and private island hopping tour with them. Everything went smoothly! They even placed amenity bottle of champagne in the tent for arrival as we celebrated 5 years anniversary. We stayed in tent 5 which had an amazing view! Also they have staff ready to carry your large bag(s) all the way down and all the way up to your tent when you check in and check out. AMAZING!

The location is just great - located very close to the beach (however, you need to take the stairs for around 5-10 minutes) and the view from each room is spectacular. Loved the Yoga session in the afternoon, plus the Yoga teacher is super nice. I would come back and recommend this hotel anytime. Of course, do not expect an average and usual hotel room because it is not!

The location is an amazing and unique spot. The room has a wonderful view on the bay, and it was clean and comfortable. The restaurant is lovely with a great view too. Everyday the breakfast menu offers variety of options and all of them were delicious. Both the staff and the couple who owned the place were very kind and helped us with tours and transports. Highly reccomended!!!

Beautiful accomodation amongst the tree tops. The restaurant Nesting Table had delicious breakfast options and the menu overall was great! The receptionist Andrew was outstanding. All of the staff were lovely. The yoga at sunset was beautiful with our teacher T. Keep doing what you’re doing The Birdhouse! We’ll be back

Host Information
Warning: This property is not for everyone.... Read further to learn more. Before getting started note that we are on an island in the Philippines and that the infrastructure of El Nido town is lacking in many aspects including proper water facilities, issues with 24 hour electricity (only a few years ago the town still only had 12 hour electricity daily), and certain comforts such as wifi. The Birdhouse El Nido is aware of the challenges of inefficient infrastructure and also climate change as has tried to be as low-impact as possible, continually learning more about the surrounding environment. The Birdhouse is considered a glamping site (glamorous camping) with added luxuries unseen in traditional campsites. We are 15 minutes from the nearest road so getting to us is more difficult than most properties. Part of being off-the-beaten-path is we are in a quieter area of El Nido and tucked away having more privacy than the majority of establishments. We are up on a hill and after the 10-15 minute walk on the beach about 100-200 bamboo steps up to the reception area and your accommodation.

Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
