The property and host were amazing! It was very clean, the facilities were great, you could use the kitchen and communal dinning room area. The location was good, just off of the main road so tricycles were easy to get. The host can also sort out airport transfers for you! If I came back to Donsol I would definitely stay here.

Donsol only has cold water so be prepared when you shower that it won’t be warm/hot. Due to the temperature when I went the shower wasn’t freezing so it was definitely not a problem!

Everything. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. You really went above and beyond to make our stay incredible and it was. Great recommendations for food, you kindly did our laundry when we couldn’t. Best quiet night sleep in a comfortable bed (no ear plugs required). Great location as you feel like you are in the local community and everyone is so friendly and I felt safe. Just a few mins walk to the main road and amenities. I wish I had longer at your place. Thank you.

N/A it was all super

We enjoyed our stay here. The Homestay is located in a more rural area around 5 Minutes (by motorbike) from the city center. The room was clean and the shower had good water pressure. There’s no AC in the room, but the Fan works quite well. We really liked the kitchen, where we were able to cook our own meals. The owner of the Homestay also assists you with getting a Tricycle, to go wherever you need to go.

We rented a Motorbike from the Homestay but unfortunately it wasn’t available from the first day on, even though we asked about it beforehand via message. I think it’s because they only have one scooter to rent and it was taken by another guest that time. It wasn’t a big issue for us, but it might be worth it to invest into a second scooter to rent out, so more guests can rent at once. Especially since you need a scooter to get around town, if you don’t want to rely on Tricycles for your whole stay.

The room was very clean, the bed was comfy and there was a fan to keep us comfortable. Gisele our host was fantastic! We had an issue with our ferry the night before and she was so accommodating and helpful via message. Because we were the only guests it felt almost like an Airbnb but the facilities were top notch with a kitchen and laundry and lounge area with good wifi. Bonus, you could buy snacks and drinks from the communal area!

The location is a little far from the whale shark sanctuary centre (45 min walk or 5 min tricycle) but this is easily negated with the scooter rental they offer or simply going by tricycle. The flip side to this is that despite the distance from the whale shark sanctuary the property is just a short walk from the town centre and everything you would need.

We upgraded to the room with aircon and a private bathroom because of the extreme heat. It was spacious, cool, clean and comfy. Bathroom is old, but clean and enough waterpressure. Location near the city center was perfect for us. Nice host and sweet cat :)

Nothing.

Host was exceptional. Very willing to g to provide help. Direction or assistance. Very straight forward and totally honest.

Nothing based on reality and circumstances. This is a remote location that has all of the necessary amenities. Just ensure your expectations are not related to a 5 star place in paradise !

The host is an absolute love of a person! She made sure we felt like at home, even made us lunch. It's a very simple accommodation, very basic, but you have everything that you need, including a kitchen.

The corners of the room and bathroom could use a little sweeping, but nothing else!

The lady is incredibly nice, the place is clean and very well located. The price is the cheapest in town and you get great value for it. I recommend 100%. This is a really nice place for backpackers to stay at !

Good value price Very welcoming helpful and friendly host Clean and comfortable Free snorkeling gear and refill water

Bring earplugs and eyes patch. Chickens can be noisy and the window curtains don't filter light The building itself could use some TLC and maintenance. And more hooks and storage furniture in the room could be useful

Perfect place to stay for a proper homely feel. Large communal kitchen/lounge are where you can make your own food. Clean comfy rooms. Welcoming and friendly host. Would definitely recommend a stay if you’re visiting Donsol.
