    Value for money, it hits the spot. The facilities are lacking but can make up for outdoor plans

    The facilities weren't all that great, but compared to others, it does well a bit. Parking space isn't also too reliable, especially if most of the other guests are also bringing four-wheel vehicles.

    It was pet-friendly, which we really appreciated, especially since we hadn't received notice prior to arriving. The location is a bit of a walk from the actual beach, but it's still nearby.

    Mostly awesome - a couple of small changes would really enhance the experience. Pros- Awesome pool, bar, restaurant and communal hang out area, perfect for meeting people. Great security. They arranged a great driver to take me to airport. Cons- Rooms were decent for the price but a few changes would make it a lot better. Power point was hanging out of the wall dodgily and in middle of bed? Bizarre. Liquid soap in bathroom would be nice too. Pillows weren't great.

    Nothing. But if I was being fussy I would request an extra bin in the room & a brush to brush any sand that gets in. But this is nothing that can’t be changed easily enough!

    We stayed for 3 nights whilst in Moalboal. Location is great, you’re away from the night life but also close enough to walk in. They also offered hiring of motorcycles. The room was spacious and clean and the bed is extra comfy. The facilities were lovely, drinks at the bar and a lovely pool area. I think this is a really underrated place to say in Moalboal and the reviews are low. Although we had our own private bathroom, the out door showers behind reception looked amazing. I love stuff like that.

    Still finishing rebuilding from typhoon so no on site bar or restaurant but many with walking distance.

    Everything was great. Not too many rooms so no noise other than roosters (but they are everywhere in the Philippines). Pool was clean and clear. Staff super friendly. Great location. Quiet at night. Walk to beach in 5 minutes.

    Hope those Bermuda grass will grow when i get back. CR could have some improvements like add a bidet for the toilet and floor barrier between the shower and toilet area. hope the resorts own restaurant will re-open soon. promising resort

    I like it as it was a quite place, staffs are friendly always greets you every time they see you, even let me stay for about half an hour past my checkout as it was raining big plus! . Also I like the pool because it has a deep part. Also allowed me to fly my drone.

    The breakfast is very very basic. The room is too small to be with children. The bathroom cannot be used properly with the kids after showering cause the water remains on the floor. Anyone knows the hotel by the name of Nativ House and the location in Google maps is not right. So ask in advance how to go there. They will help you for sure.

    They are very friendly and helped us a lot with the kids and to organise our days or day trips around. They also provided the room with a small mattress.

    Inappropriate behaviour from old white fat men & young Filipino women in the pool whilst family with teenagers were sat around. Rooms incredibly small. Beds made from bamboo posts that squeak with every movement. The most annoying thing is the roosters! 4 roosters next door that ‘cock-a-doodle-doed’ from 4.30am and didn’t stop until everyone was up!!! Pool wasn’t too clean, or that might have been because we knew what the old, fat white men had been up to….see above. Then because we wanted to check out early, (again see above), with 3 days notice…no refund!

    Location was close to main area. Air con was great. Leaving!

It's an agreable place with really good staff, they are here for advicing you all the good activities to do here and can make you straight in contact with locals for doing it. Thanks you so much Arlene and all the staff for this great time in Moalboal !!

    Every time I come to Moalboal Native House Resort it is my place. This is my third time here and I will keep coming back. The friendliness of the staff is outstanding, you don't need to worry about anything because they organise all kinds of activities for you. It is remarkable the improvement of the facilities, the rooms are super clean, the garden is very well kept and the swimming pool is incredibly crystal clear. It is a place to enjoy and not leave if you don't want to. A dream place

    This was the WORST place we have stayed in all of Philippines. The staff were so unhelpful, we stayed in a standard room which was just a fan. the room was unbearably hot. the pictures look nothing like the advert. There was a huge hole in the netting of the window, we woke up in the middle of the night with ghekkos and spiders all over the walls. we had originally booked for 2 nights but left after 1. honestly awful, I would avoid at all costs.

    Nothing. Awful.

    The name has changed so it was hard to find plus the photos of pool area is out dated does not look like that anymore and over priced for the facilities in 2 other places we stay there half the price with more service and facilities so dissatisfied but the room was OK but basic..

    We liked the location near to beach and restaurants and bars.

    This was my second time visiting Native house resort. I was there before covid started and it was perfect. Five minutes away from resort there is beautiful beach where you can experience snorkeling. In the sea are milions of sardines and you can also see turtles and other sea life which you cant expirience in europe.  Rooms are simple but clean, with nice terrace overlooking the pool. Few months ago was typhoon in Cebu. The wind blown away almost half of the resort. They did amazing job with fixing the resort only surrounding need a little touch. Typhoon also left alot of damage on Moalboal infrastructures (electricity, water, etc.) So sometimes there short electrical burnout in Moalboal, so when that hapen resort doesn't have running water because the pumps don't work. Staff informed me that they are waiting for new generator that will solve this problem. The staff was very sweet, they arange you whatever you need like transport to airport and other activities around Moalboal All and all it was a great expirience and I would recommend it to everyone.
