Best value and best staff”
I had an amazing time at the Cavern Pods. I stayed for 6 nights. The rooms are large and clean with plenty of space in each pod. Staff were amazing and friendly and the food is the best in town. I am not vegetarian but I ate here every day because everything was fresh and healthy. I highly recommend staying here, el nido is very close and trikes come past 24/7 at the crazy low price of around $2-3 AUD Even better you can rent a scooter from next door for around $10 AUD for 24hr! great vibes, can't wait to return!

They adjust the room really good for every travelers. Also, the best thing is the staffs , they are helpful with everything and detail-oriented. I really appreciate your help and I would recommend my friends to stay at your accommodation. You'd better try breakfast here , also on top <3

One of the best places I stayed in Palawan”
Highly recommended place for anyone staying in Palawan area whether you are travelling solo or in a group. Really good atmosphere, friendly staff, clean and nice facilities. If there is anything negative to say, wifi was not available occasionally and to make matters worse, carrier signal for data SIM I used was really poor in that area so I had to physically walk a while to get better coverage. I heard signal coverage is better with other local carrier instead but no one tells you this at the airport and I had no issue with coverage for other locations.

AJ and his staff were so kind and accommodating. The room was lovely and the beds were comfortable. The location was great in Corong corong, very close to El Nido town. Would recommend.

High Praise for The Cavern Pod Hotel”
Nothing but high praise for my accommodations at Cavern Pod Hotel. The pods were private, the room nicely furnished and CLEAN, plus the hot water was a big bonus. But nothing made the stay more memorable than the excellent staff (all so friendly and helpful, especially Donna) who assisted my island hopping tours during my stay. Biggest surprise was the delicious Vegan menu; hands down best vegan food I’ve had in the Philippines. If you want to be City Center, this isn’t the spot for you, but I didn’t want to be in the thick of things and tricycle rides were just 150pesos each way. Close enough to beaches and tourist areas, far enough from noise when it’s time for relaxation and sleep. I tried to extend my stay, but they were fully booked. I’ll return next year!

Great amazing people and staff”
The staff at Cavern was excellent!! They helped me book my tours, and also even helped me find a vegan place nearby which is also owned by the same owner!! The rooms and beds are clean and comfortable. I extended my stay and even went back after it was fully booked. I really liked Taste Vegan cafe as well and the staff there was absolutely warm!! Highly recommended!

The staffs definitely are the best thing about this place ”
The room is not only clean, but spacious with bathroom and changing room included, usually you’d have to go out of your room to get to the bathroom for hostels/pods. Although there are better hotels but not all can compete with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staffs at The Cavern. Best crews I’ve met. Always smiling, always accommodating.

Worth every penny, clean room, decent decorations, not bad wifi(since they don't have cellphone signal here), friendly staff, you have private space even share with others. The only thing to complain about is the price of the oatmeal, definitely overpriced.

Shared Room with Privacy”
Glad to have stumbled upon this place on my last night before my trip back to Puerto Princesa. Very affordable and clean. Staff are nice and it felt secure during my stay. A few things to consider though - location is quite far from the town center and the phone signal inside the room is weak. All in all, it was a comfortable stay, I'll definitely come back when I get the chance!

Very nice small hostel!”
Stayed 2 nights at The Cavern. The rooms are very nicely decorated and it's so great to have your own little pod and space. Even the top bunks are good, because of the actual steps and not a ladder. Rainshower was good and warm. And the AC in the dorm worked well! Unfortunately I was sick when I came in, the staff was so helpfull with recommending a doctor and asking how i felt. Thank you for that! The vegan food and the coffee is a bit more pricy than other places, but it's very good!

Loved this place! Super comfy and their pods were 👌🏼. Each pod had 3 sockets, 2 hooks, and a stow away table. Very efficient.
