        Daniel from United Kingdom
        Couple
        Standard Cottage
        Stayed 3 nights in May 2022

        Amazing stay, Great memories!”

        I stayed for 3 nights at Buko resort, in one of the standard rooms. Me and my wife chose this resort based on traveller images, style of the hotel and location. This resort is located close to Lio airport (Air-swift goes direct) and a short tricycle ride away from the local town/from other beaches. Getting there was easy and was something the hotel was able to easily arrange for us, in the form of a pre-booked minivan (tricycle option available). Despite being located alongside other hotels, you really don't get the sense it's crowded. Sitting in your room, by the pool or in the restaurant, you don't know how close other hotels are. Its very peaceful and quiet! The room itself was one of their standard rooms, but the pictures don't do it justice. They're beautiful, 'native style', rooms, built of bamboo. They're clean, comfy and very spacious. The outside shower/bathroom is really lovely too. Rooms also come with (worth noting) mosquito nets, a katol (mosquito coil) outside and plug-in mosquito deterrents in the room, so they've taken a lot of care to keep mosquito's at bay. Food in the restaurant is outstanding. I've eaten a lot of filipino food (home-made and from restaurants) and can honestly say the dishes we had here were the best we've eaten. Lumpia, Leche Flan, Bicol Express, Pancit, all were amazing! Burger was probably the best I've had too. Looking at the service provided, we cannot fault the hotel on anything. Staff were incredibly helpful and tentative. Everywhere was clean. Given the small capacity of the hotel, the friendly staff knew which room you were in so never had to ask. We charged everything to the room and paid on checkout and this was no problem at all. I could keep writing more but won't. I will end this saying we will be returning and have recommended this hotel to everyone we know.

        Relaxing boutique hotel with great view of the sea”

        The quiet and peaceful ambiance at Buko Resort was what I wanted and I got it. I spent my whole day staring at the breathtaking view of the sea. My cottage was also nice and comfy. I just hope that the airconditioning in my cottage (#4) was better, because it was a bit warm in there. Also, having a bidet at the toilet would be great. I also loved the pool which was placed in front of the breathtaking view of the sea. However, the water was always freezing. Maybe it's why I was the only one swimming there? At any rate, the facilities at the resort were above standard, and the staff and view were really great! I'd love to come back.

        Good but don’t get your stuff washed! ”

        The staff are lovely and always try help. The place is very pretty but the pool has no where to sit in the sun and limited spaces, which seemed weird, it’s a little far from town and the scooters they offer are expensive compared to usual. I don’t know if the place is worth the cost but it was nice to stay there. My only real issue was with the owner. They washed our clothes, shrinking both mine and my partners. They also changed the colour of my boyfriends clothes. The staff tried to fix it but missed parts and we were in a rush to catch a flight so didn’t have time to keep looking at everything. When we discussed it with the owner he gave us $30 Australia dollars to make up for hundreds of dollars worth of ruined clothes. It was truly unacceptable the way he resounded and took zero responsibility for anything. He was dismissive and even rude. For any expensive resort you’re suppose to trust, it was pretty pathetic on his part.

        Dear Naomi, Thank you for your feedback about our helpful staff. We don’t clutter the pool area with too many sun-loungers, seaview cottages have their own double lounger, there are two double loungers around the pool and seafront/poolside restaurant. To clarify a few facts about the laundry. The first bag of laundry was delivered to us wet on arrival and our laundry assistant did her best to remove the colour run from your clothes. The issue with shrinkage to the second bag of laundry was only highlighted to us after check-out, when you sent an email to our team from the airport about the reported shrinkage which according to you came to about 600-700AUD. As we were unable to inspect the clothing we followed our policy, which is clearly stated on our laundry list and is the same as many hotels, we refunded the maximum of three times the cost of the laundry. I will personally vouch for the quality of our laundry, I use their services myself. Regards, Paul Van Rooy

        My boyfriend and I stayed here a couple of weeks ago, for 4 nights and it was truly amazing! Palawan is stunning, and this resort is in the perfect location. The little huts are gorgeous, pool is amazing, and the staff are the best we have ever come by! So helpful and so lovely. The only downside was the wifi, and the dinner menu could have been a little more extensive, but this is being fussy! The wifi was bad in Palawan in general, so it definitely wasn't just Buko! If we go back to Palawan, we are definitely staying at Buko!
