Reviews for Germaroze Guesthouse

Review 1：Breakfast was great, pool, the view were amazing! Room were quite big, very clean and comfortable, fully equiped (TV, air-conditioning). Great staff, helpful with organizing tours to shark watching place, Sumilon island, waterfalls etc. Fully recommend! 10/10

Review 2：The bathroom fixtures are a bit dated. Water supply was cut off at one point. Not enough water pressure. The place is a bit tight and the chlorine in the pool is a bit too strong. It is right beside the road, so it can get a bit noisy as you can hear the passing vehicles.

Review 3：Staff was friendly. We ordered dinner from a restaurant we liked and they allowed us to use their plates and utensils (although we did wash what we used)...felt like home.

Review 4：1. Wifi signal does not reach our room (deluxe no A/C) 2. Very far from the whale shark viewing beach 3. Limited channels in their television 4. It is not very private (deluxe room no A/C) only curtains cover the windows but there is no A/C so I understand.

Review 5：1. Our room (deluxe no A/C) was very large and the bed was very comfortable. 2. Pool 3. Very near to the main town of Oslob 4. Very accommodating staff. Was able to welcome us eventhough we checked in at 1 a.m. 5. Their lobby is very grandeur. 6. Wonderful view of the coast.

Review 6：Not about the hotel, but Oslob doesn't have a beach. It's all mud ((

Review 7：Great house with amazing living room. Room was great too. No mosquitoes at all. We could leave our things there for the rest of the day until night time. Pool was very relaxing Staff was super helpful and they speak English

Review 8：Noisy Filipino guests were having a party till 3am on a pool, my wife couldn't sleep. I know that it's not really minus to the germaroze but they should tell the noisy guests to keep it quieter, not me.

Review 9：Good place, we enjoyed our stay. Close to the station,700 meters or so. Working wi-fi with decent connection

Review 10：Water is cold for a few minutes and then becomes scalding hot if you're not careful with the temperature setting.

Review 11：15 min motorbike ride (with guide who lives across the road) to whale shark and Tumulog falls for 500php for 2 people (he waits with you too). Nice big room, comfortable bed. Nice swimming pool overlooking the sea.

Review 12：The people there are very helpful and hospitable. We missed the ferry from Tagbilaran-Dumaguete-Oslob, we called them and asked maybe we can arrange the booking and reserve a place for us the next day. They accepted it, they are considerate. They even helped us for the itineraries and transpo. I recommend this guesthouse. Your place is very nice and amazing view. I wanted to stay longer. For sure i'll come back.

Review 13：poor services Poor breakfest No beach nearby Too far from whale sharks All in all very boring place in contrary with neighbourough accomodation which lived

Review 14：AC not too loud in the room

Review 15：Booked 3 rooms through booking.com, allegedly all 3 with air conditioning. One of them did not have. Good luck sleeping if you are used to European temperatures. Manager reaction was to give fans and a discount of around 3 CHF.

Review 16：The location is dream-tier.

Review 17：The slightest thing we did not like is the fact that they only do havebreakfast but for lunch and dinner we need to go to another facility tobuy our foods..

Review 18：Their rooms are very comfy its like you are bringing your own bedroom atoslob... Its very neat... And we felt very secured.... The people thereare very friendly...

Review 19：I hope next time breakfast will be included in their accommodation and also next time hope they can serve lunch or dinner which guests are willing to pay as additional.

Review 20：the guesthouse itself and the room is very clean and beautiful and a budgeted accommodation too.

Review 21：No dinner option at guesthouse only breakfast

Review 22：The pool and the rooms were kept really well. Free water, coffee and tea for all guests. Really homely and organised all our tours and transport. No beach but at access to the sea for swimming. Close to whale sharks and water falls. Close to town

Review 23：A bit further from the Whale watching and sandy beach area than we realized (20 min on a motorbike). A 15 min walk to the few restaurants and markets that exist in Oslob.

Review 24：Very nice, big, bed & breakfast style guesthouse. Right on the water, with a nice pool. Slept to the sound of crashing ocean waves! Great breakfast. Very nice staff. Comfy bed. Very quiet small town with barely any tourist.

Review 25：I went to Oslob to see the whale sharks and I had no what to see besides that. This hotel helped me rent a taxi, prepared me for my next hotel, and answered all my questions.

Review 26：we had to pay 250 pesos for using their gas stove, i think its way too much.

Review 27：room is clean, we got the one with a comfort room inside the room. good aircondition, good tv.

Review 28：-Ultra dirty (cockroaches,ants,etc). -very expensive for what you can find here in the Philippines, in internet is overpriced. -They don't have food to eat, the nearest is in Oslob.

Review 29：The only thing is that you can rent habal habal from there.

Review 30：We book a double room with bathroom, but when we arrived there the staff gave us a triple room without bathroom. The staff said with bad attitude: because you are the last booking, so that we had no double room with bathroom already. You had to accept that, or you could check out and found the other hotels. We were very angry. We paid the same money with the other customers. Why did you do this to us? If you have no room with bathroom, you shouldn't let customer book your hotel. That is cheating. Please don't live this hotel. The same price you could get better experience in oslob.

Review 31：Clear

Review 32：Not as close to the whale shark area as I thought.

Review 33：Really nice house, like a mansion. Nice pool area. Friendly staff, helped us book transportation to the whale shark area, decent wifi and showers.

Review 34：Mosquito nets on windows would be good - we had a lot of bugs in the evening Wifi wasn't amazing - kept cutting out

Review 35：Good food (only breakfast type food though) Ocean view room Pool view room Big room and bathroom Free tea/coffee & water

Review 36：Very comfortable, great sea view, nice people. Its very close to the place to see the whaleshark and one of the falls. In the evening there are BBQ in downtown, not far away from the hotel. If anyone needs guide, Gingging Luna will be very helpful. The most wonderful experience in Philippines.

Review 37：The staff arrange us the trycicle that so expensive without our permission. Not give us the good information.

Review 38：The view is great. Backyard direct to sea...

Review 39：Great location for whale shark snorkeling! and see waterfalls. Hotel managed scooter transport, half a day, going to whalesharks, 2 waterfalls and the lunch, the boys watched our stuff while we where gazing at the sites. Arrived late at night, was no problem. friendly staff. really nice building & rooms, great and classy interior.

Review 40：When we went out for a stroll, we intentionally left the a/c turned on since it takes time for the room to cool. We we got back, somebody from the staffs went inside our room to turn it off.

Review 41：The in-charge was very friendly and accomodating.

Review 42：We only stayed for 1 night.

Review 43：Staff are friendly and helpful. Nice small pool and the kids really enjoyed swimming. The place is not so expensive . Not so far to see Tumalog Falls and whale shark :

Review 44：We stayed two different nights. Our room in the front was so loud by being next to the road. Our other room was much better. Wifi is quite slow.

Review 45：Breakfast isn't included, but is a reasonable rate. Good location.

Review 46：The hot water shower is not working. And i dont like their pillows its too hard It dosent comforts me and also tge wifi is slow. I have to use my own data.

Review 47：I like the pool area and and the ambiance of the house because of its high sealing.

Review 48：The bedroom facilities were poor. TV not working, no remote for air con so either freezing or have to climb on a chair to pull the cord out of the power and then boiling hot in the room shortly after. The bed was very uncomfortable, sheets felt as though they were actually itchy curtains and the pillows felt like bags of sand. The host was kind and helpful with organising a tricycle and driver to take us to the whale shark and other attractions for 500php for the day. The driver was very good and helpful. The location was good. 5min stroll to a few shops to buy local food. Everyone is lovely in Oslob. The accom was ok but not the best, lucky we only stayed 2 nights otherwise would have been too much.

Review 49：The location, our driver and Lechon Manuk!

Review 50：The woman running the hotel seemed put out anytime we asked her a question. It felt a bit like we were staying in her house as opposed to paying for a room in a hotel.

Review 51：They had a driver who was able to bring us to the whale sharks and to the waterfalls, he was a nice guy and helpful. He also helped us to get a boat to Alona Beach from Oslob.

Review 52：Lack of other meal options ie dinner and lunch. Was there hot showers? Lack of bathroom ventilation. Beer is never ice cold in the Philippines...makes me sad.

Review 53：Position was fantastic. Staff great. Pretty good all round experience.

Review 54：Parking is a little tight. out side furniture could be more comfortable.

Review 55：Staff was nice and we felt at home there. It was quiet and vary piece full clean and well kept. We plan to return in a few months.

Review 56：Wifi in the room very very weak.

Review 57：The cottage being near the water, I found the sound of the waves at night very relaxing and conducive to a goodnight sleep.

Review 58：I wish they also served Lunch and Dinner so guests wouldn't have to go out and look for other stores.

Review 59：Staff are super friendly and accommodating. We were originally booked for 2 nights but changed our minds,and it wasn't a problem for them. We were also introduced to kuya Edwin our Habal Habal driver/tour guide who lives right across the guest house.

Review 60：The toilet sink was leaking and the shower as well, but nothing that bothered us for this one night. Loud traffic but we were so tired so we slept through it.

Review 61：Arrived late in the evening and still were able to book 2 motorbikes to come pick us up at 6 the next morning. Saw the whale sharks and the water fall and then had breakfast when we got back.

Review 62：A ten minute walk along a dark road into 'town'. It would have been good if they'd had some kind of dinner option and then you wouldn't have needed to leave at all.

Review 63：The room was huge! And the swimming pool was great to have. It rained when I was there but I spent the afternoon in the pool anyways :)

Review 64：Wifi signal was weak in our main-floor Family Room but without issue in common areas. Bathroom was a bit small. Mixed in near the backyard patio area are some clothes racks and other miscellanea but the main areas were very nice.

Review 65：Enjoyed the less-than-10min walk to town center, quiet and beautiful indoor/outdoor spaces, friendly laid-back staff/owner scheduled transportation and gave sightseeing advice, hot water w/coffee trays + large kitchen space were available to us all day and we loved sitting by the beautiful backyard pool right on the ocean (no beach, but a sea wall divider).

Review 66：It would be nice if they will have a card facility and better internet connection.

Review 67：My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the guesthouse. The owner was amazing. Very friendly and accommodating. Best value for your money.

Review 68：Nothing!

Review 69：We were actually expecting that the house will be simple, but when we checked in, wow! This house was like a Californian Mansion! The owner even arranged the Oslob daytrip for us which we we're already worrying about coz we arrived past 8pm. Super accommodating owner and staff. Highly recommended!!

Review 70：No wiffi in the room, old decoration, not air conditioned in the room but there were two fans.

Review 71：The price is good, very clean, staff very friendly and helpfull. It's a simple hotel with all the facilities for a good price. They have a driver who bring you to see the whale sharks and waterfalls.

Review 72：No restaurant here or nearby. Had to order in from the only restaurant in town. No pool maintenance in the time we were there or use of pool filter.

Review 73：Pool, kitchen facilities, free tea/coffee, microwave, fridge, large communal area with loads of table chairs and lounges.

Review 74：No food available after breakfast WIFI unreliable

Review 75：Driver available Proximity to attractions Accommodating staff Lovely little pool and eating area Spectacular view from our room Can arrange tours for us

Review 76：I lived into room and in bugalo - 2 night we almost didn't spleep due to noise from wave or from road. Bad is too solid.

Review 77：Nice interior, not so far from sharks

Review 78：The place was really cozy. It's just what you need for a leisure travel. The view was amazing. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was elegantly set up.

Review 79：Need to seperate the shower and toilet into seperate rooms. Need to enclose the shower as the floor floods!

Review 80：Very clean and love the cute family photos of the owners family! Living room was very lovely, clean polished tiles and private room right next to the ocean. Pool looked nice and seating area next to it. staff very helpful

Review 81：I had the bungalow! Most stunning view!! Very relaxed to open the windows and see and feel the sea! Pool was nice too! In between Oslob centre and whalesharks/waterfall.

Review 82：Cozy guesthouse that feels like home. The pool/lounge area is gorgeous and great for watching the turquoise ocean during the day, and stargazing at night! The staff were lovely and super helpful arranging all of the things we wanted to do! It's about a 10 minute walk to the main town area. Definitely try the street BBQ at night in the city (best food we had in oslob)!

Review 83：We wasn't able to use the pool since it's quite dirty that timez

Review 84：i like the guesthouse itself. It was so spacious and the design of the house was very modern. It was beyond my expectation. you can go around the house too and feel free to cook and eat by yourselves. It feel like home staying here. I will surely recommend this and will be coming too.

Review 85：The entrance is difficult to manuever for parking and you need to wait sometime before someone opens the gate

Review 86：Cleanliness of the place, comfy beds and you feel right at home

Review 87：Didn't like oslob much - nothing to do here except whale sharks . You won't find decent food here either . This accomodation was great for people travelling through .

Review 88：Extremely friendly staff willing to help with your every need . They go above and beyond to assist with your stay . Location is close to whale sharks 10km tuk tuk .

Review 89：Felt very relaxed here, nice vibe, nice staff. Nice veiw of sea. lovely house. Situated 15 mins from whale sharks and a 10 min walk from the shops and food market.

Review 90：Nothing

Review 91：We liked everything in this hotel, 5m from sea! And 5min by motorbikefrom whaleshark watching! But most of all I liked owners!!! They wasvery helpful!! Gave us shoes to walk in sea, and also when phillipinaircancelled our flights to next place, owners did everything to help tous! Phoned, talked, asked, - solved problems! They very nice people!!Thanks a lot! Very nice, calm and pretty place! In room was everythinggood. No mosquitos. We didnt swam in pool, but we saw how they cleanedit. Everything very clean and comfortable! Free water, tea, coffee andof course good breakfast (sausage, omlete...). I recommend a lot!

Review 92：No food options, so you have to walk a bit.

Review 93：If you're whale watching, you can book here and grab a cheap motorbike to take you there. Not more than 15min. The area is pretty deserted but for the purpose of the whale sharks, it's great.

Review 94：slow internet but not due to the hotel facility.

Review 95：10 mn from sharks site by bus or tricycle 10 mn walk to Oslob center where you can have local BBQ diner. Nice little swimming pool

Review 96：It's actually a house - and there are quite a lot of people living there so we felt like intruders a bit. Wifi barely worked. Cold shower - hot water was attached to the wrong hose so the shower was cold but it wasn't so bad in the heat.

Review 97：Close to whale sharks & waterfall, very easy to organize a cheap tour from here - ask the staff. The property is gorgeous, there's a pool (we didn't use) & you can sit overlooking the ocean. Whale shark experience was amazing. Easy enough to get to but barter with the tricycles from Oslob bus stop.

Review 98：Friendly staff, who arranged a 200% overpriced cruise to Bohol. AND the boatman took us to another island and asked for extra money to take us where we agreed!!! (I would welcome a hotel feedback on this)

Review 99：Amazing place above the sea (no entrance to the water,though) Nice area with pool Friendly staff

Review 100：The room at the ground floormy friends stayed has 2 toilets side by side, which they find awkward and funny, and the floor was always wet from the shower area.

Review 101：Spacious dining/living room and veranda, free coffee and tea. Bungalow room has the best location and has many windows, facing the ocean and the horizon...

Review 102：maybe provide a can of insect killing spray to the guests since the bungalow is located right on the water and the area is in a forest.

Review 103：this kind of a place would go for 10x the price back home in the US. an absolute steal.

Review 104：Do not expect too much as the Philippines, in general, will disappoint. I rated this establishment highly because it is on a Filipino standard

Review 105：We were given such personal acceptance being invited to the home of an employees parents. We made a true friendship. the husband took us to Damuguete on out third day. An amazing experience. We were so well catered for. We had to travel 15 minutes by motorcycle to reach most destinations but the driver knew his job and was on call for us.

Review 106：Location was 20-30 mins from the whale sharks, without a good option to get there besides hiring a vehicle. We weren't planning on that extra cost. Pool was not like the pictures (I think they were having a problem with it.)

Review 107：Facilities were nice, clean, felt like a home. Scenery was peaceful with views of ocean and waves up close.

Review 108：I recomend not to arrange with the hotel the boat tickets to cross to bohol. We paid so much for the van to the port and we might had a bus choice cheaper to get to the port.

Review 109：Everything except the beach. Is good to spend one night to sleep if you would like to do whale watching. Is confortartable and clean but the beach is not for snorkeling.

Review 110：I didn't like how the staff treated my friends. One of my friends told me that the staff said "don't waste water because we are just using tank". I don't think that was polite. It wasn't our intention to waste water. The kind of sink that you're using cannot be closed tightly.

Review 111：I like the location, the room, the toilet and the kitchen. I like almost everything if not because of the staff telling my friends not to waste water.

Review 112：The "beach" - theres is not so much beach and you have to walk around the house to find access. The beach is small and actually we didn't find the way but we were there only for the whalesharks ...

Review 113：nice and helpful personal. A small pool, but good enough for relaxing. The kitchen equipment is useful. The place has only little possibilties for "dining out"

Review 114：The place was nice and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was big and relaxing... I love the place. The pool was under reconstruction when we arrived. That was sad.. but then the staff in our hotel made an arrangement with their neighbor so we could swim there... awesome!

Review 115：The rooms is quite small & dark and don't have the hot water on my stay (due to some issue with solar system and no sun on that day) which is minus point. But overall I love the house and every things surround.

Review 116：I've enjoyed the courtyard (even very small) a lot with the bench and view direct to the sea. The house is actually a villa with swimming pool and well decorated living room.

Review 117：We payed p1400 off booking.com for a bungalow.. When we got there we did not get a bungalow and they charged us the same price for a room with no AC. After being in this town a while we were told that a room with no AC that is not on the beach should cost around p700. They told us it would be p2000 more for AC that night... Also the WIFI did not work. Maybe for a minute or 2 here and there.

Review 118：The location was great if you are there for whale sharks. The ladies running the guesthouse can easily set you up with guides for the day. The pool looked very nice.

Review 119：Internet didn't work in the room

Review 120：Big room 3 beds, sea view...next to the pool On the yellow bus route....bus will drop u outside the door. Nice staff...they organised a guide and a lift to go to the whale sharks. Ron Ron picked me up punctually drove me to the whales, waited then took me to the waterfalls...walked to the falls with me ...took photos. Very professional ...good price! Big ornate cool social kitchen area...coffee/tea/ water/kettle/ microwave Remwnwr to bring cash to oslob...nearest atm 45min away on a bog yellow bus

Review 121：The hotel was comfortable with 2 large beds in a family room.we slept with windows open (net on the windows) to feel sea breeze. The pool was clean.

Review 122：Roaches in the room. There is nothing in Oslob apart from whale swimming

Review 123：The rooms were nice and comfy beds

Review 124：No hot water and no water at all on last day. Very limited food choices in Oslob and not very nice food.

Review 125：Beautiful outdoor pool and sitting area.

Review 126：nothing

Review 127：Everything-Staff wonderful-location

Review 128：Just a short ride with the public bus away from the waterfalls and whale shark snorkeling, free hot and cold water, super friendly staff

Review 129：In the rooms from sea side practicaly No bathrooms - very small or small and outside room

Review 130：Poeple

Review 131：none

Review 132：everything was good :) dont mind to spend my next vacation here ty

Review 133：No beach, do not spend more than 2days here as there is nothing to do. And no town.

Review 134：Close to falls and whale sharks.

Review 135：i like everything they have...just perfect .

Review 136：The hotel was very clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were immaculate. All for such a good price.
