Norma and the other staff are really nice and welcoming. The huts are nice. Outside, there is even a place for a quick workout. They take really good care of the outside area, the plants and trees look really nice. The vibe is just great. And Norma helped me with the booking of a Tour and also my transportation.
My hut didn't have a hammock, I would love to have a hammock. I stayed in hut 7, and it was too far away for the wifi. Also I had no phone signal on the hill, but thats not Backpackers Hill fault of course. My toiletrybag has a hook, but the bathroom doesn't have a hook to hang it from. And also just one shelf in the main area, it would be nice to have a little more shelves or hooks. There is a faucet to clean your feet at the steps which is great, but I would loved a little broom to clean excess sand I tracked back.

We stayed here for 3 nights. The stay is at the top of a hill so do expect to walk a bit uphill but it is so worth it! The huts are beautiful and they have everything you might need during your stay. The space around the huts is also beautiful. Everything is very clean as well. The breakfast that's included is small but good! (2 toasts, one egg, one banana and coffee/tea). If you need more they will charge you but for us it was perfect. The town is about a 15 minute walk from the stay which for us was not a problem. The bed was comfortable, the mosquito net was very helpful, the cold water was perfect because it was hot out there. Norma and Victor were very kind to us. She helped us book the island hopping tour and it was a highlight of our stay. Always happy and ready to help. There are rooster and dog noises at night but this has happened at every stay we've had in the Philippines so just bring earplugs for this trip.

Really cute little jungle hut with sitting area just in front (our hut had a view on the forest), which gave us the feeling of a little adventure. Comfortable bed. Super friendly personnel and availability for motorbike rental, bout tour or van bookings here. Definitely enjoyed our stay a lot!
Bit of a basic and small breakfast. It's still a hut so do expect some bugs, eventhough there were musquito nets. Also the wooden floor did feel dusty and there was only cold water to shower with. Furthermore there are a lot of noisy roosters around this area. The location is a bit further from town, but easy tricycle arrangement or even walkable.

Honestly loved everything, we were served excellent breakfast in the morning. The beds are very nice and the hut is cozy. The bathroom was really nice, and the hammock outside was a nice edition. The staff in itself was just the nicest people, we also stayed at the CXJ traveller's inn which is just next door and they helped us coordinate so we could leave our luggage and get help in general to get around. The place is a bit outside of port barton, but it just takes you 15 min to walk down to the beach and being a bit away also helps relaxing after a long day. Hope to come back!

I really do not understand why people complain about the location, İ mean - don't you guys check it before booking? A 15-min walk to the center being a problem, wow... And there's literally the word "Hill" in the name of the resort, so why are people surprised it's actually located on a hill? LOL. Tranquility of this place is amazing. Nature, animals, all basic facilities and wonderful wonderful staff that took care of me when I felt ill - that's what you'll find. The island hopping tour is worth booking with the resort - it's the best we've been to in the Philippines.

Beautiful little bungalows in nature. Nice and peaceful place, really helpful and friendly staff. Shower was really nice, good water pressure. Good breakfast of fried egg, toast with butter and a selection of jams, banana, tea and coffee. We also booked our transfer here, which was really good value!! Thank you Norma What I loved was that the mosquito nets were tied to the bed posts so they don’t fall in on you when you sleep!
10 pesos per litre water refill (very cheap but would prefer if they upped the price to include the water)

We loved staying at Backpacker's hill! Our host was so friendly and helpful with good recommendations and booking tours/trips. I loved that it was a bit further away from the main tourist zone, making it a more peaceful and authentic place to stay. It was really easy and pleasant to walk into the main area to see all the sights (about 10-15 min). the location is stunning! A wonderful stay in Port Barton.
Nothing! We loved our stay. :)

Great lush location and friendly hosts: I wish I stayed longer!
I did not know the property had dogs when booking. I have dog-phobia but I managed to overcome this as their dogs tend not to attack guests. And I honestly can say the same about the brood of stray dogs at Port Barton and indeed Palawan. So one way or another I had to make peace with this. And I did.

Lovely place to stay in Port Barton. It is based approximately 15 minutes' walk from the main area. The huts are basic but clean. The beds have nets, which are needed to keep the mosquitoes away. Norma and the team were very friendly, she helped organise our boat tour and onwards travel which all went smoothly. Having breakfast included was a great bonus!
We liked everything!

The location was not that close to the center, but very quiet and peaceful. I would recommend a scooter, but I think that’s obviously then u book it. The cabins are clean, nice and comfty. The fan is working good. They also have a hammock under the hut. The breakfast was also okay. The owner or the stuff (we are not sure) are very very friendly and the kids are very cute. The garden was beautiful and green! They sell water for refilling for a reasonable price.
Nothing!
