Above and beyond welcoming ”
We stayed here March 2022 and couldn't have had better introduction to the Philippines and Filipino hospitality. Our host Don done everything he could to make sure we enjoyed our stay from start to finish and was just so welcoming. The room was nice clean and spacious and great value for money and the location was great, close to a nice quiet beach and only a 15 minute walk to town. If you're in Puerto Princesa we recommend you choose this place to rest your head.

Friendly and Well-Run”
The Butterfly Totem Guesthouse is a small establishment with a very attentive and gracious management team. From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed they helped us in every possible way to get the most out our brief stay in Puerto Princesa.

Best in budget!”
Best in budgetWe did a late (8 pm instead of 2 pm) check-in. To our disappointment, they had no rooms for us although we had a an advance confirmed paid-in-full booking. So they arranged a room for us in another hotel approximately 20 mins from Butterfly Totem. Next morning they had arranged a transfer to Butterfly Totem with a new room. The rooms were okay, clean and airy. The staff managed to overcome our initial disappointment with good service and helpfulness. The breakfast is served at our room (they serve coffee, bread, butter, jam if you want, fruits) good for lazy travelers :P. They helped us with suggesting in town tours and getting us a tricycle. The hotel is 5 mins from the Puerto Princesa Airport, pretty good location. All over experience was good. I would return, given they don't give my room to other travelers.

Great Stay and very helpful Host (Thank you Mdm. May ^^)”
We have stayed at ButterflyTotem for 2 days before we heading to El Nido, the guesthouse is very near to the airport (about 3 mins by Tricycle). The room is clean and tidy, with hot shower and wifi (we are satisfied with the room as we get it at a cheap price). Also, we are very appreciate that the host (Mdm. May) has given a lot of helps to us especially in the booking for the transportation to El Nido and Tours in both Palawan & El Nido (Underground River Tour in Palawan & Island Hopping Tours in El Nido). Butterfly serves breakfast right infront of our room, and their breakfast is nice (with low price but we get free nice breakfast ^^). On the day that we're going to Underground River Tour (tour pick up at 5.30am), since it was too early for breakfast time, Mdm May has pack our breakfast into separate plastic bags, so that we can bring along our breakfast to eat in the van (so kind of her, thank you!!).

Cute and quaint guesthouse ”
The staff at Butterfly Totem are wonderful and kind. Walking distance to a number of restaurants and eateries. Very close to the Puerto Princesa airport. We really enjoyed our stay there!

Amazing staff, close to airport, relaxing.”
Cant thank enough the people from this hotel. They helped us in every way they can. First reason to come back here again is because of the staff! The breakfast every morning was so good. Just sitting outside the room gives us that relaxing feeling. Ambiance of nature is real present. Hotel is walking distance to airport. The room is comfortable. We're so satisfied! All worth it staying in this hotel. We even came back here after going to El Nido. And definitely will come back again if there's a chance! Thank you Butterfly Totem, see you again :)

Outstanding service”
Staying at the Butterfly Totem is a unique experience. Ms. May is the soul of the place, a gentle creature that floats in the air, with her secret mission of giving pleasure to all. A vision of the beauty of a real butterfly in action for all to see. Amazing, in Palawan.

Would stay here again”
We arrived at the hotel tired and sick, so Mrs. May's cheerful and warm welcome was wonderful to receive. The facilities are quite basic, but with its one star rating, I think you get what you pay for. We felt very welcomed and cared for at the Butterfly Totem. The staff was very kind and helpful. The location was great. You can literally walk to the airport from the guest house. Its not too far from a road where you can catch a tricycle into the main part of the city. We were served breakfast in the morning, which was wonderful. Would definitely come back.

Friendly staff”
We reached the guesthouse at 6.30pm. There was a situation of overbooking and we were transferred to a sister guesthouse that is 20 minutes away from the airport. Can't speak too much of butterfly totem because we did not stay there but it's quite near the airport. Do take note that it is situated at the residential area for the local. Judging from the reviews from others, I believe Butterfly Totem should be nice place to stay but do make sure you let the guesthouse knows that you will be arriving late in advance in case they give out your room to others. The staff was very prompt in her action to quickly get a trike for us to get to the sister guesthouse and the owner May did her best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. They even booked a trike for us to ensure that we will get to the airport on time the following day. I can definitely attest for the great service that you will receive if you stay with Butterfly Totem :)

Feels like home.”
amazing stay. it's not a five star hotel but you are treated like a five star guests. Any concern or requests are addressed or resolved promptly with a warm smile. Butterfly Totem value their reputation and guests. They want your stay as stress free as possible. I highly recommend this place.

Just okay.”
When I arrived, I was informed that my room had been given to another family who booked the room for 8 but decided that they want a separate room for the father and daughter. So I got the room for 8. I said it's okay coz clearly, I didn't have a choice and would rather spare myself from stress. But the owner/staff should follow the reservations and should not give exemptions at the expense of other customers. Breakfast was okay. The room I got was clean. The beddings were just okay. The shower has hot and cold options but the water flow was weak. The door to my room didn't lock properly. Good thing I double-check coz if not, I would've left my room open. Location is far from the main attractions, though quite near to good restaurants. Most positive thing are the staff who are very accommodating and nice. I will recommend to check other guesthouses/inns in Puerto Princesa. You might find better accommodation elsewhere.

Exceptional”
Small family run guesthouse with 8 rooms in a mixed residential/commercial section of Puerto Princesses. Responded to our every request. We had an early flight so they got up early to make us breakfast which was included in the room price along with transportation to the airport at 6:15 am. Little hard to find but worth the price which for us was less than $18 US. Would I go there again? Every time I am in PP I will stay there.

Nice Little Guesthouse”
The guesthouse was a little hard to find but once we arrived and met the staff, they were incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed our quick stay at Butterfly Totem Guesthouse before heading off to El Nido. Thank You
