Not so happy

I was impressed during our first night because it was clean and they seem to have thought what their guests would need. Problem was, during our 3-night stay, they never cleaned the room. They never replaced the disposable towels.

Don’t stay here

When I got there the lady greates me and all rooms are up a shaky flight of stairs and she told her son? To take my bag up and he ignored her so I took my own. The walls in the room were very dirty and the curtain was dirty and was held up with nails and a plastic tube. The hot water lasted a total of three seconds. The bed was not terrible but the pillows were hard and lumpy. the air did work, that was about the only positive thing I can say about the place. There are much nicer places in the area but I couldn’t get a refund so I stayed.

Después de pagar la reserva nos dicen que no tiene

Reservamos una habitación porque teníamos previsto llegar sobre la media noche. La dueña nada más avisar la nos informo que no tenía habitaciones disponibles, la cual cosa nos sorprendió ya que la habíamos reservado 10 min antes de la llamada por la aplicación. Efectivamente cuando llegamos nos dijo que no tenia ninguna (todo y que la habíamos pagado) y nos llevó a otro alojamiento cercano de algún conocido.

Immer wieder gerne - Top Unterkunft !!!

Die Besitzerin ist total Sweet, kümmert sich um alles. Preis/Leistung ist top. Wir würden immer wieder hier buchen, waren insgesamt 6 Nächte dort. Jedes Zimmer hat ein eigenes Bad mit Kaltwasserdusche. Keine Angst, man gewöhnt sich dran. Einzig negativer Punkt ist der Lärm von der Hauptstraße.

Aceitável

Para os padrões de El Nido, o Bunakidz é bom. Eu visitei cerca de dez propriedades antes de chegar ao Bunakidz e foram muito "espeluncas", horríveis. Fiquei num quarto privativo com cama de casal e banheiro. Havia locker, ventilador, comida, espelho, varal. O único defeito é não ter água quente no chuveiro e uma cozinha para os hóspedes. De manhã deixam água quente para você fazer chá ou café. SÓ. O wi-fi não é bom.
