The house, which consists of 3 main rooms (where only two are rented because the owners' couple lives in the third one), is spotlessly clean. The surrounding garden is well-kept and beautiful. The pool is cleaned daily ( also a jacuzzi). The bathroom is spacious, the sheets and towels smell clean. The breakfast is what we all know in the Philippines. 3 options that you choose from the previous night. Juliet gives you the opportunity to choose some food for dinner (there is a charge of course ).
As much as I don't want to displease Julia, who is an incredible hostess, I must also mention the negative points (which is my own opinion and basically I should have read and studied better everything related to the property before booking). The location is far and isolated. If you don't have a means of transportation, you are obliged to spend your day at home. Of course, after consultation, you can arrange for a tricycle to pick you up and go on excursions. There is no beach for swimming anywhere nearby. The Tv has been placed in a common living room ( impossible to use without disturbing others ). What bothered me the most (it's my fault, I mentioned it before because I didn't read the informations carefully) is that there is no privacy, you always feel like an eye is watching you and an ear is listening to you. Whatever you do, you think you will be heard (even the toilet was an issue for me because there is a door in the bathroom that communicates with the second room). Personally, what bothered me was the fact that the owner sets conditions (not to eat in the room we rent!!!!). You have to say the time you will have breakfast the day before. Because I have learned to be more independent and more comfortable on my vacations, it would not be an option for me again. For many other people for sure a...

We were were wrong to be disappointed to be away from the the main resort area of pangelow-Tacbilaran. The location was perfect for us. We will be back again! What delightful hosts and what a beautiful B&B! Super clean, comfortable and in the middle of a charming forested Barangay of Magdalaina. We had wonderful photo opportunities. The people were charming and the children were smiling and friendly. We took many pictures of the real Philippines farm with bovine, pigs, chickens etc. The local neighbors people/family huts and animals at a comfortable distance. Juliette was amazing cook and made us cake and breakfast and dinner. She was very sweet and my wife loved her hospitality.
We were the first to rent and self drive a car because we go to LDS church on Sundays which was in Valencia (7 miles away). We did not rent the B&B motorbikes because my wife doesn’t know how to drive a motorcycle. The car was delivered and for the most part adequate for our needs. Please I suggest to do homework and accept the advice of Roger and Juliette about transportation and the area attractions. They are experienced and gave us great touring tips. Most attractions are closer to this location than the majority of the resorts. The town is small and every thing closes early (8:00 PM) we drove into Tacbileran.
We will return and stay hear again some day. It...
Read moreRoger and Juliet were wonderful hosts who went above and beyond in helping us and catering to our needs. So much so, that they even organised a late night masseuse for my partner who was desperately needing one.
The property itself was not only very clean and spacious, but nicely put together with a lot of thought put into everything. Inlcuding their beautiful garden and heated pool with spa.
The breakfast and food portion of their bed & breakfast was something that I had been sorely missing for a while during my holdiday. Especially since all the food we had while staying was delicous. They offer other meals for dinner at a fair pricing as well as long as you give them at least a couple hours notice.
They also picked us up and dropped us off for a very fair fee of 1700 per trip and even gave us a lovely freebie to and from the whale shark swimming which we were very appreciative of.
All in all, not only do I highly recommend staying here while visiting Bohol, but next time I'm definitely...
