Nipa Hut Village

Personnel and place

Its been really nicely refurbished and great value and location. I would like to say it was peaceful and it would have been, but they were building a new block of rooms in the morning. When this is finished it would be very peaceful and idyllic.

It was great.

Nipa Hut is a nice spot at the end of a dirt road along the Loboc River. It feels pretty desolate and there's not a lot going on a night -- sun sets early, after which is you, the other travelers and the mosquitos! The location is actually fairly decent; it's close to Chocolate Hills, the Tarsier reservation, and Tagbilaran and Panglao aren't too far away, either. If you're looking for comfort, warm showers and entertainment, Nipa Hut isn't the place for you. If you want to get away from civilization for a little bit, then it's great. I would recommend renting one of Nipa Hut's scooters and going exploring. There are some cool little villages along the south coast. Panglao is also worth a drive for a day of beaching.

The place feels run down and is very basic however, it does a job and was the best place we felt on offer in Loboc. I would say you definitely need your own transport as its a good 2km walk down a dirt road from the Main Street which is also another 3km down from the main town. The little huts had a hammock and little seating area outside which was nice and it was lovely and quiet and chilled there. If you want food just let them know in advance but it was tasty and the firefly boat trip is a must, really amazing. There is no wifi and the place needs some tlc but the guy who worked there was kind and also sorted out scooter hire for us. There is also a fridge you can store stuff in which was handy.

No access to transportation toilet inches above the floor,no food available, huts in rough shape. The only plus was the fantastic location.

Le cadre parfait près de la rivière propre, végétation luxuriant

Zimmer mit Bett, Licht, Fan und Moskitonetz, eigene Dusche und Wc. Die Nipa Huts sind sehr einfach gehalten, teilweise schon gut gebraucht. Dusche und WC funktionieren. Village ist abgelegen, aber mit einem Scooter kann man schnell und einfach die Atraktionen rund um Loboc besichtigen.

Chambre rustique mais endroit incroyable! J’y retournerai avec grand plaisir!

What I really liked about Nipa Hut Village was the location directly at the river in the jungle! It was also nice that they have free drinking water and you can order food there for little money. The choice is not big but it was good (they have something vegetarian!). The room was very small and luckily the bed has a mosquito net, because there a lots of mosquitos and other animals like lizards for example.. The bathroom was quite horrible, not really clean and the shower with very low pressure and even switched off a couple of times when the neighbours used the water. I don't want to talk about the toilet... You will need a motorbike because it's quite far from everything but you can rent it there for a good price. It's okay to stay for 1 or 2 nights, then you will probably be happy to change.

Omdat wij niet voor 2 nachten in ons geboekte huisje konden maar 1 nacht op de slaapzaal hadden moeten verblijven hebben wij een ander en duurder onderdak moeten zoeken. De plek is mooi maar afgelegen en erg basic.

Midt i junglen. Prøv fireflies turen ca. 300PHP pr. Person. Mange edderkopper.

Nous avons été surpris par le chemin d'accès et la distance par rapport au centre de LOBOC... puis surpris par le "bungalow"... une très petite hutte, un lit, et une "salle d'eau" !!!!??? L'endroit est calme, au bord de la rivière, mais le confort est plus que sommaire... et pas du tout de Wi-Fi, même avec deux appareils perso...
