11 out 10. Unbelievable good hote. Perfectly clean, amazing food and well maintained scooters available. Located within a cute local village. Very few options of restaurant and pubs but super authentic local environment. Perfect base Camp to discover the Northern part of the Island. We did a day trip to Coron town, but were happy to be back at this nice little and quiet hotel since Coron itself is just too busy and dirty. Would definetly stay there again.

Really nothing to complain about!

First impression was already fantastic during the communication before arrival. I had some questions/requests and the staff reacted instantly and were really helpful. Room was spacious, nice beds and good airco, value for money.

Wifi could be better but that's what can't be blamed to the hotel as the local providers improve the signal slowly.....but it's already better than before (coming in this town already more than 15 years). Availability of some items on the menu card were limited, especially deserts in our situation.

Josefina's is a Happy place, run by members of the same extended family, so it has a Very comfortable vibe. It's 1 block above Main Street, in a really quiet and perfect location, in the center of town. We kept extending our stay we liked it so much. Go snorkeling at Siete Pecados Marine Park, it's world class, right next to town.

Nothing could be better. Breakfast is served for 150 pesos a day. Yum yum.

Amazing food and a very good room, super clean and with a balcony. They provide all the needed services as well, such as tours, renting scooters, airport transfers and even laundry. And Leandro (I hope I am writing it correctly) is always smiling, always, which brightens your day! All the staff were very helpful and friendly. 😊

The staff is really friendly and always helpful. Whenever we had questions, we got a quick answer. We had an accident in Coron and they helped us with most of the things. The rooms are clean and you even have a smart tv with netflix and youtube. Perfect pick.

Unfortunately, many things on the menu were not available, main courses and also fruits. And (that has nothing to do with the hotel itself) there is basically nothing to do around the hotel.

The property was clean and tidy, and the amenities were great - great water pressure, with adequate hot and cold water; there was generator to provide power during power cut. The staff were friendly, courteous, and very accommodating.

My niece was served un-appetising longganisa “sausage” for breakfast. It was probably past by date - was probably an honest mistake by the kitchen staff. They did replace it with something else. Not a big deal for us. Everybody makes a mistake.

None - everything is good. Salvation Busuanga is a quiet and beautiful place to stay for a vacation.

Brand new facilities that have a real luxury feel. Very good value for money. Town is very quiet but the hotel terrace is a good place to hang out, also after everything else is closed. Staff was super helpful and even stayed longer & kept the bar open because we were hanging out on the terrace. They even learned new cocktails for us. They also organized the scooter rental for us. Can definitely recommend the stay.

Nice facility, friendly staff, clean room, good location, great value for the price.

No AC in restaurant, hotel doesn't take cards for most services. But there's an ATM up the road, so minor complaints.
