One of the things that I like is it’s just near all the establishment and a few walks away from the beach.

The only good thing is its proximity to the beach; otherwise, there's nothing special.

The hostel owner guided me, and she's very accommodating in all my inquiries. I got clear directions on how to get there, and the best thing that I like is the owner upgraded my room accommodation without extra charges. The place is so peaceful during the night, away from noises. The location is very close to cheap restaurants, and atm machine is accessible, which is just 2 blocks walking distance, with 2 ATM machines to choose. Two hundred meters away, you'll find the Kota Beach. The location is near from the seaport about 5 minutes via tricycle with a fare of Php30.00. Tell the driver to drop you at the Goldilocks. So far, in Bantayan Island rates, I got the cheapest rate for my hostel accommodation. Thank you to the caretaker who's very friendly

The location is wise, considering it's in the center but the room is not. They don't have a free toiletries and the towel is hard as a used rag tho it's acceptable considering the price but yeah it's not that clean and accommodating. It's not cold as well. I think the bed is not clean.

“I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty and culture of Bantayan Island!”
R&D Island Lodge provides an excellent base for exploring Bantayan Island, thanks to its prime location near markets, beautiful beaches, and food vendors. The staff, especially Laica, were incredibly helpful, allowing us to cook in the kitchenette so we could enjoy local delicacies like Buwad. Rebecca, presumably the owner, was also very communicative, which eased my mind while traveling solo. During my stay, I particularly enjoyed Kota Beach, which is just a short distance away. The proximity to local street food vendors was a delightful bonus, allowing me to indulge in authentic flavors. Additionally, renting a motorbike was easy—just ask Laica for assistance. Overall, my experience at R&D Island Lodge was fantastic, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty and culture of Bantayan Island!

Near the beach. Many local shops and restaurants nearby. Staff is helpful. Tip: Choose the upper floor rooms, its much brighter inside in the morning because of the windows. One of the affordable hotels in the Island. The bed is comfortable and have a cold shower. The body soap and towels were provided.

“Good stay for travellers who are on tight budget but still prefer privacy”
Good stay for a clean room with private bathroom. Enjoyed my 2 night stay. I like the natural lighting. Most importantly, very kind caretaker and owner.
