    The water of the shower is just one temperature. You can not choice your heat.

    Very kind staff! Motorcycle rent is Possible for 350 php for 24 hours.. You can easily ask the busdriver (from Cebu to Moalboal) to drop you off at the hostel, because it’s on his way. Breakfast was good and plenty of choice. It’s a hostel but with own toilet and shower! Both are seperate rooms

    Room was small but suficiente for us. The location was directly next to the main street, so it was a bit noisy during the night.

    The staff was super friendly and helped us with renting a motorbike. For breakfast you could choose between different tasty dishes. Wifi was good.

    The only thing that disappointed me is the fact that there was no hot water in the shower. Obviously, this is a hot climate, so it's not the end of the world, but generally, hot water is an expectation I have as a traveller.

    The most amazing thing about this place is Beverly, the person who manages it. She is friendly, easygoing, and extremely helpful. Even if this place was crap (which it isn't), I'd struggle to give it a bad rating because of how wonderful she is.

    Like everyone mentioned the place is next to a road and not isolated very well. As a light sleeper I managed to sleep fine with earplugs, as the roads are pretty quiet at night. They did wake me up in the morning but just in time for breakfast.

    The staff was really friendly and waited for us until quite late so we could check in after a long bus drive.

    Shower wasn't too good, and neither was the location. It was okay, but we had to rent scooters to get to the good part of Moalboal, but thats also our mistake as we shouldve known that tbh

    Bed was comfy, staff was kind and helpful, breakfast was good

    It was a bit far out from Panagsama beach but once we rented a motorbike this was not an issue.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast which was included was super tasty and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

    The staff were very friendly and guided us on a number of issues (e.g. how to get a bus to Bato). We also rented a scooter from the reception. Breakfast was included. We got our bottles topped up with water every time we asked - which was great! The room was clean and quite spacious for the price we paid. The location is close to the main shopping mall and jollibees. It is a 10min tricycle ride to panagsama beach.

    There isn’t much facilities but for the price you can’t complain! For us this wasn’t an issue though as we spent our days out and about.

    We really enjoyed our stay at LR Hostel and Cafe. It’s a little spot about a ten minute tuk tuk/scooter ride from the main tourist spot in Basdiot. The staff were lovely and attentive, evening moving our washing round with the sun. Breakfast was cooked fresh every morning with a good menu and choice. The bed was clean and comfortable. The shower had hot running water.

    For this price it’s amazing! The sun is shining outside so go out…. You need definitely a scooter if not is too far to walk everything to the beach and fun places. Beverly the best staff :) She made us every morning breakfast!

    Shower head needs attention, it was somewhat clogged so the water only came out in a couple of places.

    Our lady host was so friendly and helpful. Good selection for breakfast which you order the night before. We had a constant supply of water refils which was very much appreciated. Bike rental available with full tank to start with! Basic, small and clean room. Comfy mattress and some hanging space. Air con, Cold shower which is not my favourite but fine for a couple of nights. Separate shower and loo. Fairly busy road as well but we slept fine. Our host helped us flag down the bus for our onward journey across the road from the hostel which saved us a hot walk to the centre. Quite a distance away from Panagsama Beach but tricycles readily available.

    Amazing, friendly and helpful staff! Yummy breakfast which was served outside our room each morning. Walking distance to the mall and bus terminal and multiple places to eat. The room was clean with air con, tv and a separate toilet and shower. A little further from panagsama beach but we walked it twice. Will defintely be returning!

    The walls were thin resulting in us hearing a lot of what was going on outside our room. When going to bed, we could unfortunately hear rats in the ceiling. While the rooms were very clean, this made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.

    The hostess was lovely and very welcoming. We enjoyed the breakfast option in the mornings. She was super helpful in making sure we got the correct bus for our trip south of the island.

    Enjoyed everything however a few things to be aware of is there were ants in our room but it's out in nature so what do you expect and is next to a busy road so may disrupt your sleep if your a light sleeper.. Don't let this be a factor in giving this wonderful host a bad review as for the price there's nothing she can do about it!

    Amazing hostess you made you feel welcome and would do anything for you the rooms were basic with a separate shower to the toilet which is great a little in the middle of nowhere but you can rent decent bikes for a good price and about a 10 minute drive to the main area with restaurants and bars would deffinately come back again! Aircon was really good too we got cold
