A very cozy place to stay. I had a nice spacious bungalow set in a beautiful garden. Good WiFi everywhere, even in the bungalow. There is a bar with lovely wooden furniture, and also an outdoor covered dining area. The restaurant had a fairly extensive menu with both Western and Philippino options, all at quite affordable prices, especially after coming from El Nido. I liked that you pay your bill when you leave, so you don't have this constant lack of change ordeal.

Lacking basic maintenance. The roof on my balcony had a hole in the middle of it, and it was raining a lot, also the light on my balcony wasn't working. The switch for hot water in the shower was located right up at the top by the ceiling. Nobody can reach it. Luckily I'm not very heavy and could stand on top of the plastic bucket. A 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper in a room designed for 2 people for 2 nights. If you don't supply more, at least sell them! Pile some up in the reception so we can get one easily. Taytay is a tiny town. I went to 5 little shops before I was able to buy the 2nd to last roll they had! Hopefully not too many others needed some. It's worth noting that there's no generator. The day I left, I had to pack my things on the balcony as very little daylight gets into the room. Still no electricity back when I left several hours later. Good location right in town. Far from the bus station, but that's because the bus station is located really far from town.

Location was good.

Need to fix water flow in the wc and shower. Staff was not very helpful.

The staff are very considerate. Many of them are learning how to work in a business to get credit for their education and the owner selects them very well. The laundry staff are also very good and prompt. The location is excellent being right in front of the fortress. You can get a great view of the fort at night from your balcony in some rooms!

The room was a bit small and there weren't many outlets. The lights also run on a series circuit so you can only use some lights if another light is on. All lights should operate independent of each other.

The room itself was nice, big room with nice bathroom.

The staff was okay, however the prices for the scooter, island hoppings and more were very high. 700 pesos for one day scooter... The place was quite noisy because of Geckos and construction right next to our room. No AC just a fan.

Location good

It was a hot box: pay more than double for air conditioning. no mosquito covers on windows or nets. Not able to book any boat trips.

It had a good location

It was very dirty. I don’t think the bathroom had been cleaned in months.

Great restaurant! Great location close to the fort, nice bungelows, nice staff.

The 2 person bed was very uncomfortable luckily there was also a 1 person bed in de room with a good mattress so I ended up sleeping there. Cold shower.

everything was great. Nice, clear, quiet.

Room was pretty spacious.Big tv.Very quiet.The owner and staffs were nice .We ate dinner there and foods were okay.Airconditioned room with very quiet ceiling fan .

Showers are not working properly only drizzles, no hot water too. Toilet bowl and sink are both clogged . Bathroom was dirty when we arrived.

Pem is a wonderful host and we felt very welcome by her and all the staff. We only stayed for one night as a stop over between El Nido and Puerto Princessa which worked out well breaking up the long transfer. We really loved Taytay town as a quieter (and cheaper!) alternative to El Nido.

The shower wasn't very good - just a trickle, and the toilet took a long time to flush/refill.

Great location Excellent value Good food Helpful staff

No water pressure. Just a dribble from the shower and toilet took forever to fill between flushes. Bathroom dirty. Not cleaned

Location is in the center, close to the port The garden is nice. There is a restaurant where you can get breakfast and take out lunch (convenient if you go on tour for the day without lunch included)

Very uncomfortable beds, only a very thin mattress on a wooden board. Impossible to sleep on your side. Feels like you are sleeping on the floor. We had booked a double room but they only had a twin left. The bungalow is really small and very close the others. No toilet seat and the toilet was dirty. Lots of stains on the sheets and a lot of mosquitos and no mosquito net. It is a really cheap accommodation but you really get what you pay for. Would have slept better in my own tent ! It is worth paying a bit more for better. Unfortunately for us, it was fiesta time and everything else was fully booked... Not a lot of accommodation in Taytay. BTY, Taytay itself is not worth the detour, unless you wanna see a town without tourist... We did island hopping and it was not worth the price at all, especially after El Nido and Coron

Meals were reasonably priced, the accommodation basic and clean; staff and owner very helpful. Owner suggested several tours and seems well connected in the community.

The owner and her son were very helpful and accommodating. The place is simple but very cozy. The bathroom would need a little update.

the staff were very helpful. The food was good.

The accommodation is very basic, The towels and bedding where stained and had holes in them.

cute bungalow in central location near fort

nothing

The cottage was really cosy with a nice porch. Friendly owner and staff.

The bathroom was really dirty! It was still moist when we arrived and there were some dirty, unidentifiable spots. It looked like it wasn't cleaned for a long time.

close to the municipality

linens are worse in donating to an animal shelter. bathroom floor are not level so water get stagnant on the floor when to bath . no shower curtain to contain the water & it gets all over the floor. No Hot water. need to improvement on the bathroom and linens .,
