    Great clean hotels and property and very helpful staff especially ray he went out of his way to help. One thing I will say unfortunately it’s very noisy due to surrounding bars and hotels music until 12 am and noise from the road although it’s no fault to the hotel as it’s a central location.

    Nothing really

    The staff were so kind and helpful. Even when we were emailing before our stay, they were always quick with responses. The rooms were comfortable. Bathroom was a little small but not too much of an issue..I ddi not have any food but my friend did and she said it was pretty decent. Location in the middle of the town and whilst it may get noisy with the bars in the evening, there is a noise curfew so you can still get a good night sleep. Would stay there again, great value.

    The friendly staff. The room is bigger in enough, comfortable with everything you need. Also you can book a trip or tour and taxi straight with them at cheaper prices. Just in front you have a good place for breakfast and also to rent a motorbike. Easli, you can walk to the centre just 5 minutes.

    Hotel is at the noisy street, however you can't hear it in the rooms that much.

    Very nice hotel with friendly stuff. Thank you to Rey and rest of the reception team, for all the assistance and support.

    the only down side was that it was very loud from the DJ playing at the hostel across the street. The wifi was aslo not very good but it didn't really bother us too much.

    The room was what you expect for the price. The staff was super nice and helpfull they even did our laundry there for just 120 PHP per kilo, which is cheaper than any laundry place in town, which was nice!

    Bulskamp is centrally located and is an easy walk to everything. The staff are friend helpful and can book any tours you may want. The room has ac and a fan and the bed was comfortable. They offer a good range of breakfast options and they were delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

    The rooms are small and not much space to put our things out and a lot flies in the room. but that’s expected in that weather.

    They staff is super sweet and warm esp Rey! He was sooo helpful in coordinating tours and our ride to PP. he always came to say hi to us every morning. There are drying racks set up outside that we could use post island hopping tour. Location! Close to everything - quick walk to the port to grab our tour and close to beaches.

    A little noisy from bars/hostel opposite but didn’t bother us too much and would probably find that anywhere! Otherwise all great, thank you!

    All the staff were lovely, really friendly and helpful for booking tours etc. The room was great - spacious and clean and just what we needed. Didn’t have the breakfast but the communal area was nice and was in a perfect location, close to the beach and restaurants/bars/shops etc.

    There is a loud music at night from the hostel next to it but it stops relatively early. If you struggle with loud noises it can be tricky but then again it is like this in the whole town.

    Located in El Nido town, you can walk everywhere. The property is very well taken care of and super clean. Nice and very practical rooms with everything you need. The staff goes over and beyond to help you book tours and transportation to other areas of El Nido. Nice lounge area where you can relax at the end of the day and play board games. I felt very relaxed at Buldkamp Inn even if we were in the middle of crazy El Nido.

    Central location & Cosy stay in the heart of El Nido

    To be fair there was nothing that we didn’t like.

    Situated just off the main ‘Walking Street’, the location is great if you want to be in the heart of everything. Our room was clean. The bed was very comfortable and it’s always a bonus when you get two pillows each we love that! Simple things ! There’s a very small fridge but it meant we had cold water, plenty of hanging space and some shelves. There’s two little side lights as well, which gave the room a nice ambience in the evening. The shower is electric so the pressure is never great, but it was more than adequate and the temperature was brilliant. They also provide hand wash shampoo, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. We didn’t watch the flatscreen telly but a nice touch. There’s a/c a fan and a torch for when the electricity goes out in EL Nido. Not something we experienced during our 3 night, January 2025 stay, but the provision of the torch indicates it’s not uncommon. Breakfast is served in the lounge area downstairs, which is really cosy. The breakfast consisted of a potato fritter like a hash brown fried egg some bacon, bread a bowl of fresh fruit and it was really really tasty great value for 320 pesos. There is a pancake option as well. They provide complementary tea, coffee and water throughout your stay which is great and the staff are really pleasant. We also booked our island tour from here and we were pleased to realise that the environmental tax we paid yesterday while diving could be used again today for islands hopping too. Rey, who has worked here for ten years, was a font of knowledge, great at providing suggestions for our future plans in The Philippines 🇵🇭 as well as offering an insight to El Nido and how tourism has changed the face of this destination over the last decade. Having stayed here, it’s somewhere that we would recommend.

    Bathroom is extremely small, inconvenient to use the toilet. Smoking area is right next to dining area, which prompted me to rather have breakfast somewhere else the next day.

    Cute inner garden/seating area. Clean room with daily housekeeping, if required. The manager is friendly and very helpful helping with organizing tours.

    Staff were so welcoming upon arrival and throughout our stay. I remember the names especially of Rey and Tin Tin but everyone was great! The location was perfect for being in the town and close to everything. It was a bit loud at night due to the clubs etc surrounding, this is not at all down to the hotel itself, anywhere in town would be exactly the same. Tea, coffee and water self service 24/7. Room has the option of AC or fan readily available. Great vibe, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks!
