It was super noisy and rooms cannot get dark at night because of the light outside and no shades in the windows.

Staying in the Oasis Balili Lodge was a really interesting and wonderful experience. The history of the house made it feel like we were staying in a really cool spot and it’s within walking distance of the pier which is a big plus. Also Gloria Balili and her husband were absolutely wonderful people. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again!

It was so peaceful and safe to the extent that I do leave my laptop and phone whenever going out. Also, I was able to talk to the owners and he shared about the history of this interesting place. People are kind here. They also do have karaoke and I enjoyed it. Will be back for sure.

It’s not a social hostel, there were not that many other travelers. But it’s really clean and the stuff was very friendly.

Such a charming spot! I stayed five nights and during that time, spoke with the owners Ray and Gloria a number of times. It was nice to get their insight on living in the Philippines. They gave me a lot of advice on tours, places to see, etc. I would recommend getting a room with AC as fan-only is a bit tough with the warm weather. Breakfast available for purchase. Easy access from ferry and to tricycle drivers, restaurants, etc. Overall, I loved my stay - it was relaxing and just what I needed.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was cool to learn about the property’s history and was very pretty. We stayed in a 4-bed dorm, but it was just me and my friend for our whole stay, which was quite nice. It is quite far away from tourist attractions and Panglao though. It would be fine if you can ride a bike. The bathroom is quite outdated and not the cleanest, but understandable given the property’s age.

The century-old house has its own charm, which I particularly liked. The atmosphere was very familiar and the owners and staff very friendly and helpful. This is the reason why I extended my stay. The furnishings in the room were simple. There is a big box where you can lock your luggage. Also, the breakfast (from 7am - 2pm) was very nice and reasonably priced. It is possible to book a bike through the accommodation. I can highly recommend this accommodation.

Sehr schönes, ruhiges, gemütliches Hostel in einer alten Villa mit großem Garten. Der Hafen ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Zum Frühstück gibt's unter anderem auch gesundes warmes Porridge mit Bananen :)

Great place, I love the monumental building! Very friendly staff and clean facilities, even a hot shower! (Not that I want one in the tropics, but still) excellently situated near the port and lots of restaurants nearby.

I really liked my time here. The rooms are very simple but you are staying in a heritage house over 100 years old! Gloria and all of the staff here are so kind and make you feel like a part of the family, I felt very relaxed in my time here. The garden and house are really beautiful. They sell breakfast in the morning which looked good but I never got to try it!
