"The hotel was clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed my time in Palau, so I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit. The staff were all very kind, friendly, and attentive. The location is great too, with supermarkets and restaurants within walking distance, offering plenty of choices for dining and easy souvenir shopping. I'll be back for sure. The photo is the view from the balcony."

"Location: - Far from the city center. - Tucked away in a residential area (among private homes). - The surroundings are dark at night. - Very quiet. - In the morning, you can hear roosters crowing from afar. Facilities: - Newly opened, less than a year old, so it's new and clean. - A small shop (food, drinks) on the ground floor, open from 7 am to 7:30 pm. - Five rooms and a kitchen are on the second floor, accessed by climbing the stairs next to the building. - Each room is entered from an outdoor corridor. - The kitchen is also accessed from an outdoor corridor. - The kitchen key is provided along with the room key. - No stove in the kitchen, only a microwave. - Refrigerator (no freezer compartment). Amenities: - The room isn't large, but it has everything you need. - Air conditioning, bed. - Wi-Fi (connection can sometimes be unstable). - In-room shower and toilet. - Washbasin (kitchen sink type) and mirror. - Kettle, dishes, cutlery. - Various sized towels, disposable toothbrushes. - Shampoo, conditioner, body soap (provided). - An information file containing necessary details like a city sightseeing guide and bus stop map. Transportation: - About a 30-minute walk from the accommodation to the city center. - The nearest bus stop is a 15-minute walk away. - No need to cross a main road; the bus stop is along the street. - Buses only run during the day, approximately once an hour. - Considering a round trip, it's not very convenient. - From the nearest bus stop to the city center supermarket: - About 3-4 minutes by bus. - About 15 minutes on foot. - (Only one bus route). - Buses are said to have a uniform fare of $1 for almost the entire area, but signs inside the bus state $2 for visitors. - You just drop cash into a box next to the driver. - The buses are small, 15-seater vehicles. I arrived late at night (via Philippine Air), but they accommodated my late check-in. Although they initially said 24-hour service wasn't available, the owner kindly waited for me at the entrance of the accommodation. I also requested airport transfer when booking. Upon exiting the airport, the transfer service person was waiting with a sign with my name on it (paid $30 cash directly to the driver). After checking out, I asked the supermarket staff below the room, and they kindly held my luggage until 7:30 pm, which was a great help (this might have been possible because the supermarket owner happened to be there when I asked). If you don't mind not having an ocean view or a central location, and are looking for something half the price of city center accommodations, this place offers excellent value for money. You can stay in a private room for the same price as, or even less than, a city center dormitory."

"Very beautiful private beaches and many fish, spa so good and very nice room. I will come again."

"I stayed at Palau Shell Villa for two weeks. It was perfect for my lifestyle, as I could cook. The facilities were a bit outdated and the internet was a little unstable, but the staff were very attentive. I would definitely go back again if I had the chance."

"The hotel is run by ********* people, so the ability to provide Chinese-speaking service is a major advantage. It has a swimming pool right next to the ocean, offering a beautiful view. The entire building is made of wood. The only downside is that there are quite a few insects, but otherwise it's great."

"Great hotel the service was AMAZING! Breakfast was great and location was great! Definitely would base myself here again!"

"Overall good locations"

"Dirty. Even if you raise the issue, they never clean up properly. The entirety of Palau seems like the place for people who love terrible hygiene, who are already used to filths. But people from countries such as India, South East Asia, Africa and Latin America must already be used to filthy hygiene and people from North America or Europe or Australia must already be used to gun violence or theft or ****** or insults coming from uneducated self entitled staff so let them be happy with this place being just dirty."

"Good breakfast, perfect location"
