Balaibinda Lodge

Very basic. I will certainly stay elsewhere when next in coron Room not service. Need to go to reception to complain Tried to have breakfast but told had to go to reception first Rooms facing the street are extremely noisy. Don’t except to sleep past 6 am

Pathetic stay. The rooms have ants all over. All over the beds, bathroom, walls and even the toilet seat. The cupboard is just useless. The staff is non cooperative and the property policies are terrible - they do not even give a water bottle for a prolonged stay. The air conditioner is also terrible - looks like a hundred years old.

The property is clean but we ended up booking another hotel a few hrs after we checked in because the A/C was not really working it was super hot even after a few hrs.

We had a terrible stay, the rooms are so small no kettle in the room. One thing, I wasn't happy that the refund they gave me is not the correct amount. The short and curly lady in reception said they had a beach towel and you have to pay deposit Php 50 per towel + Php 30 rent each towel. So I didn't ask lot of questions or what I gave her first Php 250 pesos for the deposit for 5 towels then gave her Php 150 for the rent for 5 towels. Then after 2 days before we check out I have returned the 5 towels and he said we doesn't know about this he will let me know. I have a bad feeling already that they won't give the money. Anyway, we out for tea and when I came back went to see him the guy at reception. He gave me only Php100 pesos I asked him why and what happen to my Php250? He said oh I was told only to give this back as the rent is Php30 per day, I was shocked as the lady hadn't informed me at all all she said once you returned you will have your Php250. I was just pissed off they haven't informed and their towel is a piece of crap! One thing we have notice here most of the restaurant have their service fee so no need for the tip. They don't have eftpos. So prepare cash as everytime you pay is by cash. Again, don't bother staying here it is not worth it and not recommendable. There are lot of affordable accommodation in Coron.

Simple but decently equipped rooms with en suite, at a reasonable price. Aircon, fan and shower work well. Good central location, though with some inevitable street noise. Breakfast basic (like many places in the Philippines). Overall, a good choice for a couple of nights based in the centre of Coron Town.
