Lualhati Cottage

Vacation Home

Nice and safe place to stay… Friendly staff, organizing everything for you what you want or need. Rooms are simple but good and clean. Can definitely recommend to stay there whilst you are in El Nido!

We were told that the room had Wi-Fi and air conditioning when we arrived it had neither Wi-Fi nor air conditioning was in a super noisy place that you could not sleep nor at night.

Poorly attended there was no Wi-Fi There was no air conditioning a disaster.

The pictures they show are not what the hotel is.

Masarap ang pagkain and swak sa budget! Sobrang bait pa nila ate highly recommended!

No GenSet in case there is power interruption in the locality.

Good place to stay and people there always extend their hands to those who really needs help, making them like "feel at home" vibe… Definitely a good place to rest or stay…

Affordable accommodation with clean rooms and comfort rooms. Just a 5 minute walk to the restaurants and bars of El Nido.

For the price nothing exceptional you can by looking for a little room for 700 pesos.

Good rooms, have cheaper versions fan only, very nice owners, CLEAN!

Simple but decent. Had a room with fan, no AC and paid 400 per person. Private bathroom, but no hot water which is usual in this price range in the Philippines.

The price is medium, the environment is general, has the simple kitchen to be possible to use, the off-season can discuss the price.

Based on our personal experience, we didn't like the place. We arrived from puerto princesa in a night of heavy rains. We were accompanied by the staff towards the room and expected if she can offer us an umbrella since the room is far from the reception. But she just got one umbrella for herself. It's not a big deal for us but once we entered the room, the smell was awful. Bed sheets and pillows smell bad and old. The room is very spacious, has a huge sofa and the 2 beds are so big. We are a group of 3 pax. We asked if we can transfer to a smaller room with only one bed. We can manage to fit ourselves in just one bed since it's huge and we wanted a cheaper deal. Since it's available, she said it's ok, but the price is just the same, she'll just give us a free breakfast as an add-on. So we declined since we have our tomorrow's breakfast planned already. Upon settling down, the restroom was bad too; full of sand and mud on the floors, not yet cleaned. I even asked for an air-freshener. She gave me a Downy (fabric conditioner) and tell me to just spray it over the room. Upset, we just looked for another lodge during the night (with the same price and far better) and decided to have an early checkout the next morning. The receptionist is so unfriendly, bad vibes in the morning. We decided to cancel as well our island hopping tour with her since we didnt like their service. She said that we still have to pay 500 because we already reserved.

Not sure if this should be taken against them. But we got robbed here. The knobs on the doors are not safe as they are starting to break. No gates, no cctvs, no guards. Keep your belongings beside you at all times. El Nido is roaming with thieves. We'll go back to El Nido to take back what we've missed because of this tragedy. But we won't ever book at a scary place like Lualhati Cottages again. We'd like a more secure room after hearing about this from the owner of this homestay. The room smells like a rat died in there too. It was a nightmare. The staffs were okay, except for the fact that we were denied our keys that night before we got robbed. Hmm… shady indeed. Have fun, and take care peeps. Hope our bad experience does not happen to any of you.

We've stayed here for over year due to work, and true to its saying, it's a home away from home. Tita Susan and the staffs are very accomodating and friendly. They have been a family to us. I will definitely want to come back.

Owners are rlly friendly. The place is not far from beaches. Clean rooms, Wi-Fi, nice neighbours. We liked it a lot!

First time here in El Nido. Booked a room with two double sized beds and one single sized bed. Rate here is PHP1500 per night after few price negotiations :)
