          SUPERB!”

          Value for money, indeed! Great, comfortable, relaxing place! Very good breakfast! Comfortable, cozy and clean room! Limited rooms mean limited people thus making the guests enjoy quiet and peace. The free use of jacuzzi and sauna makes the stay even more worthwhile! Lastly, kudos to all the staff! You are all wonderful people! Looking forward to staying with Balai Princesa again!

          Our stay at Balai Princessa was a very pleasant experience. Every traveler would be surrounded with lush greens and natural bohemian vibe. Staffs are friendly and very hospitable . The food is good and would satisfy your gastronomic cravings. The spa services are highly recommended. Great value for your money. We would definitely come back again to Balai Princessa.

The staff are great and accommodating. The owner was superb 👌 Thank you for the sweets 😋 💜 Will definitely go back 😊

          Hotel policy”

          The B&B policy on Agoda is not correct. The Balai considers anyone over 5 years of age as an adult. You will need to pay for an extra person charge.

          El desayuno bastante convincente y con opciones, el personal atento y amable, con ganas siempre de ayudar. El último día hicimos una actividad después del check-in y teníamos tiempo hasta que saliese nuestro vuelo, con lo que nos dejaron ducharnos en la zona común y pasar el rato en el bar tomando algo. También tienen servicio de transfer al aeropuerto gratuito. Sin duda lo recomendamos!

          숙소는 사진과같이 아늑합니다. 툭툭기사들이 발라이프린세사를 잘 모르긴하지만 구글맵 보여주면 아시더라구요. 시내까지도 50페소면 갈수있어요 위치는 크게 문제가 되지않았어요. 숙소내부도 너무 예쁘고 특히 음식이 너무 맛있어요. 조식 두번이랑 저녁한번 먹었는데 세번다 너무맛있었어요. 특히 직원들이 너무 친절하셔서 도움을 많이 받았어요 감사드립니다. 일정이 빡빡해서 마사지랑 자쿠지를 이용못한게 아쉽네요.
