RedDoorz @ Bohol Emerelle's Tourist Inn

I come to Bohol every three or four months, and this is still my go-to hotel. The owner and staff are kind and helpful, and the rooms are clean with cold AC. For me the location works perfectly: it’s between the city and the port, so I’m never late for the port, and a scooter ride gets me to the beaches easily. It’s good value compared with other hotels in the same price range where you hear lots of noise at night.

We had a really nice stay. The owner let us rent a scooter directly, which made it easy to explore Panglao and Bohol. The owners and staff were all so friendly and helpful. Our AC worked well, and the shower had nice hot water. Thanks so much!

I felt safe and comfortable here, and the family running the place were very kind and attentive to residents’ comfort and safety. It’s clean, reasonably priced, close to Bohol Island and the water harbor, and I’d recommend staying here. They also offer laundry, cooked meals at good prices, motorcycle rentals, and a car for drop-offs. I really liked the tourist sites during my stay, and I’m grateful to the employee who arranged and cleaned our room and belongings. They’re wonderful people, and the stay left me with a lovely memory.

The location worked well for getting around Panglao by motorbike, and Tagbilaran is close too. I felt at home for the two weeks I stayed here, which is saying something as a nomad who knows how hard it can be to find the right place. The two sisters who run it make you feel welcome and are ready to help with anything. The rooms are new, modern, comfortable, and very clean. I loved the soothing colors and especially the yellow curtains, with their soft, warm light. A couple of rooms have toilet seats, so ask when booking if you need one. Some reviews mention ants, and yes, you might see them. That can happen in the Philippines, where nature is all around. I sprayed a little repellent where I’d seen them before going out and had no more trouble. The sheets were the cleanest I’ve come across on my travels among many islands. I’d only expect ants in the bed if you eat there and leave crumbs. I recommend this lovely inn without hesitation. The management and staff created a rare, wonderful atmosphere. Thanks so much, and I hope to see you again!
