BING-VICE Tourist inn — Hotel in Roxas

Up until now, I’m still wondering if it was an inside job? ||||The thief knew exactly where to broke in: the only room with 3 girls staying (others had male guests), and these girls will leave for the airport the next morning.||||My friend woke me up in panic at 4 am, asking why the door was open. We immediately checked our belongings and found out that our bags (which has our passports, money, keys etc) were missing. We tried to call the police in tears, just to find out that they are located in another town which will take them hours to get here. And if there’s no crime scene with blood and dead bodies, they won’t bother to come: completely useless security system, heaven for thieves and burglars. ||||Luckily after minutes searching around the garden and the compound, we found our bags thrown on the ground. Everything was still there except our cash. I lost 300$, my other two friends lost a total of 800$, not to mention our Philippino as well as Vietnamese money. I am 30 years old, have traveled to almost 20 countries and this was the first-time-ever, I don’t even have a dime left in my pocket in a strange country. The hotel offered us 1,000 peso each (equal to 25$) but we insisted for 2,000 peso (50$) so we can at least have breakfast, then take the 5 hour-bus to the airport, then go through 2 flights to go home.||||To be fair, the hotel was nice: clean room with hot shower, chocolate cookies and hot water for tea every morning. The staff was friendly and the owners were helpful. Very chilling vibe. But, the burglary was really a bummer. ||||We felt really lucky that 3 girls still came back home in one piece after 4 days in a town with no police around! ||||And, Our passports, MacBook Air, Go-pro, iPhone X, credit cards and other expensive gadgets were still there so that the damage won’t be big enough for us to stay back to look for them -...

After reading the positive reviews on Booking, we were expecting a nice accomodation with great service. But we were a little disappionted. For example in the service; we had to ask for sheets, cleaning and toiletpaper. ||Plus points:|- warm water in the shower (not all day, mostly from late in the afternoon untill the evening)|- bed is pretty comfi|- location is nice: quite but also close to everything|- room and bathroom were clean|- electricity is from 5.00pm to 10.00am, so the whole night |- There is airco (although it doesn’t work very well) and a fan.|- breakfast is served at your private porch||Downsides:|- breakfast isn’t really good. Pancakes were dry. 1 egg for 3 toasts, sometimes cold. We got a whole mango, but no extra knife or something. Instant coffee. One time they forgot to clean the breakfast, so it was crawling with ants on our table when we came back in the evening.|- the people are very nice, but can try to improve the service. For example: we didn’t got any information when we arrived about electricity, WiFi etc. Also, we sometimes had to wait very long for someone to help us (no one was around). |- the interiour and therefore the room is very dark. Especially with no electricity during the day. |- We had to ask for sheets and toiletpaper (wasn’t there when we arrived). |- They forgot to clean, both times. We had to ask. ||I think the place is pretty comfi comparing to other accomodations in Port Barton. But for the price we paid, I...

We can only say good things about this place!! They keep this place perfectly, it'so magical. The wood house is beautiful and has everything you need (comfy and big bed, a lot of storage to keep your stuff, hungers, air-con and nice bathroom. Also outside you have a big balcony and place to hang your clothes). It's really quiet, no noise and keeps the cold for long. WiFi it's also really good, the only place in Port Barton that didn't get power cut.

We knew breakfast was included; but what we didn't know is that they serve breakfast on your own balcony everyday!!!!! They have a menu, and they will take notes of what would you like for the next day. And in the righ time, they will have it ready for you!! Food it's delicious and big portions!! We felt like in 5 stars Hotel!

They are so kind and helpful!! Always ask you how you feel, how did you sleep or what are the plans for the day! Really they made us feel like home!! We will be 100% back!!!! The best place in Port Barton!! One more...
