Puerto Princesa Accommodations
by cruelsan
Hi!
Just discovered that my travel dates (27-30 Nov) are considered peak season in PP. Most guest houses I called, including Casa Linda, are fully booked. They referred BADJAO INN to me. Any feedback? Also appreciate other recommendations. Thanks! : )

There are 5 reviews of this property on Trip Advisor, from those reviews I would guess this would be about a 1/2* property, nothing really bad about it but nothing spectacular either.

Thanks, checked the reviews. Now torn between VICTORIA GUEST HOUSE and BADJAO INN. :(
Help!

Hi Sansan. If I recall right, Badjao Inn is close (if not adjacent) to Casa Linda, about 5 mins from the airport. Try this site for more options: http://www.puertoprincesaresorts.com/pensions-inns.php

HI there,
You may want to try Case pensione. PLs find the time to read my article about it.
We stayed there last nov 26-29 while some of my friends had gone to BAdjao INn, they were reluctant at first but due to high rate of visitors that time, they had no other choice.

Now I'm really confused about my choices hehe:
1. Victoria Guest House - referred by a friend. Super cheap but no TV and no hot & cold shower. Plus no reviews found online.
2. Badjao Inn - affordable. But mixed reviews online, mostly coz of insects?
3. Balay Inato - read at least two good reviews/blogs. looks good. relatively affordable and accepts credit card. but a little far from city proper?
4. Hibiscus Garden Inn - place looks good in their webpage. Haven't read reviews yet. a little over my projected max budget (1.8k/rm/night).
Feedback anyone? Appreciate your views. Many thanks!
cheers,
