Super friendly host, lovely clean room, big fan, cute sign on the wall welcoming us by name, and shop just outside. Short walk from the beach. The host let us leave our bags early too!
Nothing :)

Reasonable price for a small but clean hut with attached bathroom and warm shower. Tea and coffeemaking facilities, the first time so far in the Philippines. Helpful staff who sorted out my next destination transfer. 5 mins walk from beach, bus stop and lots of restaurants nearby.
Usual Philippines village life, early morning (6.30am ish) cockerels, dogs, hymn singing, but if you put the room fan on, you can't hear so much.

Really great staff and the location is for sure very unique. The room was clean and the breakfast was good. The location is great, 5 minutes away from all Port Barton restaurants and town center.
The room is not very big, it was ok for us because we only stayed a night and had backpacks, but I wouldn't travel with suitcases there.

Very nice place, good renovation, simple but was a nice place to stay. Close to everything in the center
A little bit small though.
Not really sound proof, you can hear dogs and roosters during the night if you are a light sleeper.

I absolutely loved my time at BFF. I was immediately greeted by Jane and her huge smile, she was so attentive throughout my stay and always made sure I was ok.
The room itself is small and compact, but has everything you need and the bed is so comfortable.
There is no Aircon but a big fan that is relatively quiet and keeps you cool. The room was also immaculately clean and had shower gel and shampoo.
The location is also great, a few minutes walk to the main streets of Port Barton and I really enjoyed being slightly back from the main area as you get to see all the school kids finishing school nearby and meet the real residents of Port Barton.
The short walk may look a bit intimidating in the dark, but as a solo female traveller I can assure you that I felt incredibly safe.
Nothing - thank you!

great location close to the town proper, the host Jane was such a lovely lady. towels & sheets changed every 2 days which was unheard of in other hostels I’ve stayed in while travelling PH!
rooms are very small, ok for me as a solo traveller but may be a squeeze for a couple with lots of luggage. but excellent value for what you pay!

lovely Bungalow in a quiet backstreet of Port Barton, wonderful people who manage it. I felt welcome and super comfortable and would always come back!
Nothing. Everything was perfect!

The bungalow is super nice. There is everything you need, from super clean bathroom with hot water and fresh white linen to soap, towels and even a little cattle along with coffee and creamer. We enjoyed sitting on our terrace very much. Last but not least the stuff is super friendly and helps you with everything.

Very clean and light. Eventhough it was very warm outside, the room was cool enough at night. The shower is good and the terras is very lovely. The owners are very helpfull and sweet.
Nothing was bad.

We were supposed to stay only 2 nights here, but due to the quarantine enhanced community (coronavirus situation around the Philippines) we stayed 10 nights. Our holiday were different, we couldn’t do much at the beginning and the last days we could not leave the property. I don’t have enough words to say thank you to all the people living there and the owners. From the very first day they were so friendly and nice. The bungalow is clean, comfy and has a huge bathroom. Due to the situation, Jhoan and Marvie were always supporting us and trying to do the best for us to make our stay as pleasant as possible and they were continuously in contact with the tourism department in order to arrange our way out from the Philippines. Thanks to them we could go to Manila and fly back home. I want to thank Jane and her husband for being our family for some days. They are one of the best people we met during our trip. You will always be our Filipino family! We hope to see you soon again. Lisa and Luis
Everything is perfect. Location is excellent.

Amazing service in the midst of COVID-19 disruptions. They really went out of their way for us. Best service you could ask for.
Cute property and room. Spacious bathroom - modern and clean with hot water. Great location - easy to walk to anywhere you want to go. Tour bookings available and motorbike rentals.
9.0 / 10.0
Bathroom is very nice, quite large in comparison to the room :)
Good location, walking distance VAN terminal and beach. No breakfast, but they do offer coffee and tea which is nice.
Laundry service available.
It would have been nice if they would also offer breakfast.
Rooms very small, but you can see this on the pictures so no surprise here.
When we were there, there was a multiple day festival with loud music till very very late.... this inn was right behind the festivals podium which was very unpleasant to say the least. Too compensate us we got a late check out, which was very much appreciated.

This is definitely the best place where I’ve been staying in Philippines. Super friendly and helpful staff and the location is amazing! The room itself is clean and comfy.
