we stayed here during our trip to Cebu and chose this place because it was more affordable compared to other nearby accommodations (about a 10–15 minute walk to the beaches). however, I feel like the cleanliness of the place—especially the toilets—was quite compromised. they only have 2 shower areas and 2 toilets, and unfortunately, one of the shower doors couldn’t be locked. the toilets were already dirty upon arri…

I understand that hostels are generally budget-friendly; however, this should not come at the expense of basic cleanliness and proper facilities. The rooms, restrooms, and air conditioners were not functioning well. Additionally, the overall environment was unclean, particularly the restrooms. I would not recommend this hostel, especially for solo travelers.
Nice relaxed atmosphere in this hostel, comfy beds and area to chil out front. Water dispenser was great and free coffee was also nice. There was some maintenance work going on in the bathrooms while I was there and I saw how it improved things.
I can’t recommend this place. While the price is cheap, there are other hotels and hostels that offer much better value for the same rate.

The room cost ₱1,000 with air-conditioning, but it did not have a private bathroom. There were also many mosquito…

I recently stayed at Babu Inn, and while there were some positives, a few issues impacted the experience. The staff were very accommodating and handled the check-in and check-out processes smoothly. The room we stayed in was clean overall, but there was noticeable dust along the sides of the walls. The air conditioning worked well, though the bed was quite squeaky as it was made of steel. Unfortunately, during our c…
This place is highly recommended for family or group outings! For just 400 pesos per person (in an air-conditioned room), the accommodations were excellent. The room was very clean, and they even provided us with extra blankets and pillows, which was a thoughtful touch. While the lodging primarily offers accommodations without cooking facilities, the owner was very accommodating and kindly allowed us to cook and gri…
