Babosam hotel - C la vie a boracay — Hotel in Malay

The location is great. Close to the D*Mall and stores where you can walk your way through to Station 1 and 2. The room is clean and organized. The bed is wide and comfortable, great for 5 to 6 persons in a room. They have a small ref for chilling some food.

Buttt, here are some issues with the room we were at:

they should have placed a shower curtain to avoid water from splashing out of the bathroom floor because there is no floor drain below the the sink area. We had to ask for an extra rug so that the floor can be dried and avoid somebody slipping. bathroom door was slightly smaller compared to the bathroom opening. TV should have been placed on a much better location as well as the AC. should have placed a Bidet for other guests who are not used in using tabò or "dipper". toilet paper handle is loose. should have placed an extra inside lock on the door just for security. one of the remote batteries not working. they could have had a laundry service for guests who have wet clothes and can afford to pay

Though it was not a five star hotel, I am still giving it a 5 star because of the value for your money. And what made us love the place because the owner was very responsive and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. We would highly recommend this for those on a tight budget.

It was our first trip there on the Island but we will definitely go back and stay...

We had a hard time finding this hotel, we asked the e trike driver if he can bring us to Babosam Hotel but he's not sure where it is located, up until we told him it's near Ferra Hotel. Upon arriving, its a bit inconvenient because we have to go up a steep stairs with our luggage, also it seems like the staff there wasn't sure if the room is empty. Entering the room, I don't feel amused by it, but for a cheap price it's acceptable. I'm just disappointed by the bath room, seems like there has been a leak on the ceiling that's why it looked that way. The place is not so clean also. It's not near the beach area but the D'mall is just a couple of minutes walk. If you just want a hotel to sleep on for a cheap price, you may want to check this hotel but pls refer to the reviews given. Don't expect too much. I think I did so I got...

after 5 not-so-great hotels throughout the philippines, we finally stumbled upon boracay heaven at babosam hotel. tucked away on the island, it felt like a welcome sigh of relief after our accommodation odyssey.

the corner room was our haven, with 2 big windows. one framed a vibrant palm tree garden, like a living postcard. the space was generous, the bed a marshmallow dream, and the aircon kept things cool as a cucumber. the bathroom was a real star - spacious, shiny mirror, and all the essentials. just a heads-up, no bumgun, but that seems to be a philippines thing sometimes.

the staff? absolute gems. friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home.

bottom line: if you're on a budget but don't want to compromise on comfort (hello, expensive boracay!), babosam is your boracay buddy. we highly...
