Palanca Guest House — Hotel in Coron

I'm conflicted on this guesthouse. This is perfect example of how lack of customer care can ruin the whole experience.

Positives: Large room for relatively good price for Coron. Comfy beds. Sweet and nice family & staff running the place. Their garden looks very nice.

Minor negatives: There's no hot shower. AC has only two settings: Freezing cold or almost no blow, nothing in between. Wifi is not very reliable. If a room's window faces sunrise, better use THICK curtains so guests have the choice not to wake up early morning. Breakfast is only until 9.

Major negative: As much as the staff & owner are sweet, they showed very little care about something very important to me, their guest. On our first two nights, we wanted to rest long due to long trips, however were woken up by construction hammers banging just above our room. If you're having a construction above a room, you should notify your guests before they're booking with you!!!

Second day, when we were waken up at 8:30, I asked the owner to stop it until 10, but the workers started again at 9 something. So no sleep thanks to this. Later for our final day, I asked the owner not to bring ANY construction until 10. Guess what? Workers started at 7:30 am this time! I went out angry to ask them to stop. They told me "yes sir, yes sir" and boom, at 8:15 hammers again! I was very rude that time, literally screaming everyone. She claimed it was neighbour's construction but she was talking about a different noise than the hammer I was woken up by. But after my lash out, there was no noise until 11 (even after we woke up)

Long story short, I don't want to give it 1 or 2 stars, in the end it's a nice place. I hope they take this feedback into account, they'll be more caring with their...
