Smoking friendly vacation rentals in Bantayan

walking distance from the place for island hopping going to virgin island

Great location, very quite and beautiful property. The place has a kitchen, barbecue, ping pong table, badminton rackets and many other different type of activities on site. Private, spacious parking with garage and side door. Host and her helpers had assisted us with everything we needed. We had a great time staying there.

Highly recommended place, and even if you pack light, you will have no worries cause they have a laundry shop in front of the rented space. I love that most the places I I want to visit and dine with are within 2-3 blocks away (highly walkable), and you can easily spot nice beaches within a walk away as well. For those that rent vehicles as well, I highly recommend this place. They have a proper garage good enough for 1 sedan or SUV, and a couple of motorcycled if needed. Amenities meet the basic needs. Free refill of water (I love). Clean room. Fast internet. Aircondition is well maintained. And if you want, they have tables and chairs outside for dining or tambay. For those that will try, don't miss trying the BBQ shop beside it. They sell Chicken Ovary BBQ (a unique food I only discovered in bantayan). The place is close to food stalls. Mini grocers. Mr DIY. Drugstores. Fruit stands. And Souvenirs. Highly recommended. Will definitely stay there again.

Guanyin Guesthouse at Rainbow Village, man, what a refreshing experience! Kudos to Hans and the team for being exceptional hosts! They are incredibly approachable and extremely accommodating. We truly enjoyed our month-long stay in the Nipa hut! It features a fan, which helps, although it can get a bit warm during the noon hours. Fortunately, there’s a water dispenser to keep fresh water readily available. You’re also welcome to use the kitchen at any time, and it’s thoughtfully stocked with herbs and spices. I prefer renting their motorcycle because it’s the most convenient way to travel to tourist destinations. They also let you use it for errands. It’s worth mentioning that whenever you encounter the family eating in the dining area, you’ll always be warmly invited to join their meals. Just a quick note: the village might be slightly distant from the port, but it's within walking distance of one of Bantayan's most sought-after tourist attractions, the Omagieca Mangrove Garden.

It was a best experience for me and the place was giving. It’s simple but you can rest so well the AC is so cold. The safety is what I like and the host is reponsive. It was near from the market and restaurants. Best experience ever so far. Thank you for having us we enjoy our stay.

we had a nice stay in Bantayan. the place is walking distance to two beaches, to the public market, pharmacy, atm, convenience stores. we were able to save money by cooking our own meals. the villa is exactly how it was advertised. clean sheets and towels. wifi is decent. we slept well. ate Susan was very attentive to our inquiries and needs. will book this again when we come back next year.

The host, Myrna and co-host Madz were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. Communication with them was smooth and prompt throughout my stay. Studio room is free of clutter which I personally like. Recommendable Pension House and Hosts!

Our stay at Angel's Guest House was absolutely delightful. The cleanliness of the place was remarkable, and the peaceful ambiance added to the overall experience. We were especially impressed by the accommodating owner/staff, who graciously allowed us to check in earlier than expected. One of the highlights of our stay was feeling like we were at home, with the ability to cook and utilize the kitchen amenities. This added a level of comfort and convenience that we truly appreciated. Overall, our experience exceeded expectations, and we will definitely be returning in the future. We highly recommend Angel's Guest House to anyone looking for a peaceful and welcoming retreat.

OKOY guesthouse is certainly one of the best Airbnb’s on Bantayan island.

‘Twas great here! Literally an underrated place to stay in and considering the price it was all worth it— near to almost all of the tourist spots & restos. Hopefully they can improve more some necessary things inside there rooms but nonetheless, it was all good!

Thank you for having us

The host was very approachable and helpful. We just go to their tindahan whenever we need help. We also borrowed some things from them for our virgin island trip and they did provide. Will recommend and we will surely go back to this place if we are going back to bantayan. the place is 10/10!!! salamat kaayo ma’am!!

place was good for its price....quite and safe....very gracious host..👏🙏🌞

Fantastic location next to the sea with a beautiful garden to relax in. The room is very comfortable with fan and AC and there’s a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking meals. Motorcycles are available to rent for a very reasonable price and Lucy is a very helpful host and very kindly gave me a lift to the port after checking out.

We had an amazing stay at Maam Mel’s place! She’s super accommodating and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. She went above and beyond to help us during our trip—assisting us with renting a motorbike, arranging island hopping tours, and even giving us tips on how to save money during our stay. She also recommended great spots for food and places worth checking out. If you're looking for a hassle-free and comfortable stay, Maam Mel is the best host you could ask for. Highly recommend!

This has been, by far, the best Airbnb reservation we've ever had. The private beach is truly the highlight—it felt like having our own personal resort. There were also fun activities like paddleboarding and snorkeling (just bring your own goggles), which added to the experience. The Wi-Fi was reliable throughout our stay, so staying connected was never an issue. A special shoutout to Shiela, the property caretaker—you made our stay extra special. Your warmth, hospitality, and cheerful presence made us feel right at home. We genuinely enjoyed our conversations with you! We’ll definitely book this place again in the future and recommending it to our friends. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
