Awesome Team!!!!!!! ”

We booked the reservation 2 weeks prior our desired date of stay and thankfully, we were accommodated as the lodging was running full that time. We booked for a fan room with 2 double beds for 2 nights. To our surprise, when we arrived at the lodging, we were UPGRADED without extra fee for a room with fully funtioning airconditioning unit. Thanks to the staff-MARISSA, who assisted us upon our arrival, even we came in late at 12 midnight. During our stay, we didn't encounter any unusual. The team is very helpful, especially GWEN and JESSIE who were very accommodating throughout our entire stay. They assisted us in booking a trike for our tour in Nacpan beach, El Nido. They also assisted us in our transportation going to the airport in Puerto Princesa. They always made sure that all our requests were accommodated. The place is perfect for backpackers. Very near to convenient stores, restaurants, and terminal of trike, if you need to be around El Nido. This place is well recommended to those who need no-frills type of accommodation. I will definitely be back in this place when I go back to El Nido. Keep up the good work!!!!

Value for money”

Bacuit lodge offers value for money. You get what you pay for. It is very basic with 2 double beds and a small toilet. The place is clean enough but the sink in our room was very slow in draining. It is a good place just to lay your head down for the night after the tours during the day. Bacuit lodge is very centrally located beside the Municipal Hall of El Nido. Two ATM machines near the covered court of the Municipal Hall are a bonus. The girls at the reception and their Dad were lovely and very helpful. The breakfast and the coffee availability 24/7 are a good welcome considering the price. I would recommend refurbishing the rooms maybe one at a time as our one looks very used and unappealing. Overall my family was satisfied.

Worth it for backpackers!”

The personnel was too kind to allow us to stow our bags hours before our check-in. The place was near the tour assembly - in fact near the El Nido port where all the tours begin and end. The place was comfortable. Our room has 2 queen-sized beds, pillows and blankets. They also provided us with a table and an extension cord. Towels were also provided. The only downside is that the washroom was tiny and as per publicity there is provision for a water heater, but it was not installed in our washroom. I was a little disappointed but the beauty of the place overly compensated it. It's still a good place to stay! Thanks, Bacuit Lodge! :)

Cheap place to stay”

Pros: Very affordable place, good if you are just going to be on island tour whole day. No sense in staying in an expensive place and you can't enjoy the facilities. Breakfast in the morning is filling: one rice, one egg, one viand, one fruit. Not so bad. Unlimited coffee and clean drinking water displayed in the common balcony. Good water pressure. The first time I went to El Nido I had a very bad time with regards to bathing because water was scarce then. This time there was no problem. Nice Aircon. It was cold at night. Nice staff. They are very helpful and will consider your requests. Cons: Location isn't really near the beach (from the description I thought it was). It wasn't far though around 5-10 mins walk. Also very near all the eateries downtown so it's not a bad thing at all. No place to put your clothes. Other than the bed and a small table, there wasn't even a place to hang your clothes except a clothesline outside for wet clothes. Most hotels in El Nido don't have one.

This was one of the cheapest option we found in El Nido and we were really happy about it: - the girl at the reception is really nice and helpful. Were able to rent a motorbike and buy our bus tickets with her. - breakfast was very good - room was big, but bathroom very very small - not too hot with the fan. - wifi was good most of the time, even in the room !

Didn’t actually stayed there”

It’s hard to rate this hotel as we didn’t even get to stay in it, that’s why I put all in the middle. When we arrived they spinned a tale about bad WiFi preventing them to stop bookings coming from Agoda, but mobile data reception is fine in El Nido and Agoda should know how much rooms are available, not the hotel responsibility to stop the bookings. Anyway, they put is in a nearby pension which was ok, and we had to go to atthemoment hostel across the road for breakfast (I think it’s the same owner for both hostels). Breakfast was tasteless and they didn’t even have tea.

Very nice stay for our holiday”

I travelled with my mom to give her a well deserved break. The fan on our room is stuck to one side which makes the other side of the room hot. We ended up using just 1 bed instead of 2 even after they lent us a tiny fan. But other than this, everything is wonderful. They have service water and free flowing coffee. When we asked if we can use their kitchen to cook the mussels I bought from the market, they cooked it for us and even removed it from their shell! There is a fee but it's very minimal considering the extra effort put in. Their staff is also very attentive, 1 request and just a minute it's done! They also gave us our own mobile wifi. the signal has some issue which I think is applicable for the whole town but at least we get to have connection inside our room instead of just in common areas. The bathroom is small but fully functional.
