Probably the best place to stay in Malapascua. The surroundings are very chill, the place is all surrounded by the forest and you can see the sea from a distance. The facilities are in great condition, everything is brand new, and the kitchenware is good. The host can arrange you motorbike transportation, plus, he keeps the place very clean. It is a 20~30 minutes walk to the main village and 10 minutes walk to the beach at the north, so you can do just fine with no motorcycle too.

Room very clean. Drinking water available. Shower hot. A/C good. Bed was comfortable. View lovely. It's a 20 min walk to the pier, but well lit at night if you want to return after dark. Host very kind in arranging full refund when I amended dates at the last minute. Would recommend if you don't mind the walk (I enjoyed it). Very quiet.

Any food needs to be kept in the refrigerator or immediately wiped up, as ants are a bit of a problem. Cookware a bit worn out, but adequate.

The property was very clean and well equipped- small but had everything you needed including a usable kitchen. Bathroom looked pretty new too and finally, a hotel with a sidelight next to the bed! It was very quiet so we slept well. Peaceful surroundings. Quiet air con. The view from the balcony is also very beautiful- it must be one of the highest points of the island. Hotel manager changed our towels and bed sheets every couple of days. Fast WiFi. Ice cold water filter at reception which was great, normally they’re lukewarm.

The property is about 25 mins walk from the main area in Malapascua, where the boats come in. While this meant the property was nice and quiet - which we were grateful for after 2 months in Asia! - it made going to and from the main area with restaurants etc a bit of a slog. Past reviews suggested the hotel did scooter rental but this wasn’t the case, and there’s no way to call a scooter from the town to pick you up, which might be a service worth offering.

Very quiet area and nice rooms. Just be aware, that they are small. Kitchen is good equipped. If you need anything else the host is always happy to help. Host was very nice and helpful, also organized a scooter for us to get easier to the main area. The rooms are very clean and the host also cleans them during your stay. North beach is only 10 min walking distance. Would recommend going there if you don’t mind driving a scooter.

This place has everything that you need, comfy bed, warm water, wifi, fully equipped kitchen, you have a table with chairs inside but we moved it to the balcony. You can cook your own meals and eat outside. This is a studio, not a room and it looks much better in a real life that on the photos. We loved the location (please check carefully where it is) You are surrounded by forest and it is really quiet at night. Free drinking water. The nearest shop is 2min away, but you can only buy some snacks, water, beer, eggs and sometimes veggies. 3min to the nearest beach. 15/20min walk to the busy south and 15min walk to the beaches on the north side. Amazing price, great value for money. We booked for 2 nights but we stayed 7.

We booked room without AC, we had a fan but some days where really hot, so you might consider booking the other room with AC. We liked the location but it is not for everyone, you don't have any bigger shops or restaurants near by, so you need a bike or you have to walk. We had an electricity shortage twice (3h in the morning) because of the power station, not property fault. Staff is not always available.

Lovely studio apartment with private bathroom, kitchenette, double bed and enough storage. There was a fan in the room but it would still get quite hot. It was nice to have a bench outside to watch the stars in the evening. There’s a little beach one minute walk away and it’s about 10-15min walk to the north beach. The location was lovely and peaceful.

An electric kettle would be convenient to have. It can be quite daunting to walk down and up to the south of the island so might not be the best choice if you’re planning lots of early dives.

This place is your place if you like to be a bit away from the noisy and crowded center in Malapascua. It has a kitchen with tools and a small fridge and there is some little shops around where you can buy basic stuff. Also it has great views and free drinking water.

We knew and it’s what we were looking for, but you need to know if you book this place that is 20min walking to the town center (or 50 pesos motorbike)

We enjoyed our stay at Chavina-Joy. Both the owner and the caretaker were very friendly and helpful which is a huge plus. We felt welcome. The room was clean. Even though the accommodation is located in the middle of the island, it was an easy 20min walk to the South coast where our dive school was. We were fine to walk and explore the island.

There is a kitchen with a fridge, it's really clean, they have cold water available for free as well, it's quite, remote location but just 15 minutes walking from the "center",.. it's a perfect place really.

It's really hot in the room but that's the way it is and we had a fan so we manage :p

Quiet place, excellent for people who like to be away from all the noise.

The only sound you could hear was the island's generator but it wasn't terrible.
