Around the area, you’ll find plenty of places to eat and shop, so everything you need is right at your doorstep. Once you arrive, the experience gets even better. Nin…

Great accommodation, had everything we needed and it was kept very clean! :) Nina, the host, was very friendly and approachable. Location's also pretty great, you can ride a bao-bao (cab) going up if you have lots of stuff. It's only a short walk from the barge terminal.

We stayed there for 3 nights on weekdays, it is within walking distance from Samal Wharf, but very nice and quiet location. The rooftop patio provides a nice view on the sea and the harbour, great for a cup of coffee in the morning or a drink at night. The owner and staff are friendly and helpfull, and the entire establishment is very clean and well organized. We would like to stay there again.

We stayed at Publikhaus for 4D3N during our racecation. The location is very convenient. It's close to the barge, nearby resorts, and the Baobao terminal. Just note that there’s a short uphill rough road from the main road to the house. The place felt very homey, like a true home away from home. It was comfortable, decent, and clean. The host was very accommodating. She gave great recommendations you wouldn’t easily…

This accommodation is superb! We had a great stay in Samal because of this clean, comfy, and peaceful place. We availed the family room which is good for its price (not too expensive) and definitely had no regrets. Everything is clean, bed is super comfy, it has mini fridge, small table inside, and a balcony. The host, Ms. Nina, was very helpful and accommodating. She assisted us in everything that we need. I highly…

We had an unforgettable 3-night stay in Samal Island, made even more special by our very accommodating host! Coming all the way from Butuan City, Agusan del Norte, I wasn’t familiar with the area. But the host went the extra mile, she personally called me while I was on the bus to guide me where to stop and how to get to the port going to Samal. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and truly appreciated, especially f…
