Oasis Balili Heritage Lodge

The lodge is easy to find and within walking distance from the port as well as shopping malls. I was there only in transit but the terrace was lovely for some morning reading. Mattress and pillow were surprisingly comfortable given how thin they appeared. For a historic house, it is certainly in good condition and kept clean! I also had the Filipino breakfast and would certainly recommend that to fuel up for the day - probably best to order the night before to give time to prepare.

I had a spider visit while I was in the bathroom trying to figure out how to work the shower - not exactly my idea of being surrounded by nature but some might admittedly appreciate it!

Lovely stay at Oasis Balili. The owner Raymond, his family and staff are extremely welcoming. I was traveling alone and felt a bit sick and they even offered to bring me to their doctor. A lot of history in the house. Location is ideal from the Tagbilaran ferry. Just a 15/20 min walk or you can take a tricycle for around 25 pesos.

I have choosen the cheapest room with fan. Probably worth it to choose one of the rooms downstairs were you also have hot showers

Amazing owners and great staff. The property has historical vibes, which is definitely something unique and different from what you might experienced before. It is kept clean, rooms have a lot of space and beds are comfy, surrounded by mosquito nets. Location is good, close to the ferry terminal. There are options to choose from for breakfast.

Nothing to comment here.

near the center but in a quiet street. old house with a lot of history converted in a nice hotel/hostel. the dorms were nice and comfortable but with the common things of an old house. there are showers with hot water, be sure to ask which ones. nice and helpful staff and the best internet I found in the country. I would definitely stay again

Kind hosts, helped a lot with information. The house is very beautiful, historical. The garden is also wonderful. Nice common areas. The hotel is within walking distance of the port and the center. Hot water in the shower is available continuously.

The breakfast was delicious, but it was served almost an hour later than what was ordered. Karaoke was very loud in the hotel garden almost every night.

The staff and owners are amazing! You'll feel like you have found a second family there. The location is very cool; you'll feel like you're in a small forest and not in a big city. The house is very fascinating as well, you can tell immediately that it has a great history (ask the owners about it!). Everyone is very accommodating and super helpful. I took the night ferry to Cebu, you can easily walk to the port from the hostel. They also have a night guard so late check-in is possible without a problem.

The staff were friendly. The dorm room with 4 beds was spacious and clean with mosquito nets for each bed. There was a big storage shelf for each bed.

The power sockets are far from the bed (it is a heritage building so understandable). There is no hot water in the shower and the water pressure in the washbasin is poor..The AC unit makes a lot of noise for the dorm room. Mosquitoes are a pain.

Staff seemed to enjoy their jobs, and it was reflected in the wonderful customer service, the owner was also very present and really tried his hardest to make sure everyone’s needs were met

Would’ve been good to have some sort of privacy curtain in the shared dorms

Gloria and Ray are amazing hosts, I felt at home in the Balili house. I planned to stop for one night on my way to Panglao, but stayed for a week. The house is beautiful and full of history! A perfect Basecamp to explore the hole Bohol island (better located then Alona and far from the harassing crowd). The hosts are eager to help you plan your journey! The accomodations are far above local standards and it is easy to rent a motorbike.

I had an amazing stay at Oasis Balili! it really is a home away from home! A beautiful house, spacious dorms, it's clean and the staff is 10/10 super nice! And make sure not to miss eating at their restaurant. Local home cooked dishes that change daily and for a really good price! I hope to come again in the future, thank you so much for an unforgettable stay ❤️

The dogs next door had the Bork Olympics every night 😆
