The owner of the cottage is very good and hospitable. The cottage is clean, affordable and perfect place because it is only 3-5 minutes away from the beach. The location is very good since it is very near the e-mall and the beach. I love to stay there and looking forward to stay there, if I'm going back to boracay. It is a perfect place to stay if you are looking for an affordable place in boracay

It is close to the beach ( famed for White Beach) and is in Station 3. You can walk to Station 2 where you find D-mall and a lot of shops and restaurants there. It offers inexpensive rooms and dorm space. The owner, Julia is very kind and helpful even though he speaks very quickly. Hot water is offered for drinking but there is no hot shower; but given the hot weeather cold water is all right. You can do cooking there and there is a charge for using the gas.

I had an excellent time by the Trafalgar Cottages. The rooms are rudimentary but perfectly clean. The shared showers are cleaned several time per day. Located in a small piece of jungle in the middle of Boracay, this place got definitly personality!

The place was pretty nice and the owner older lady was amazing and helpfull! The place offers everything you need and you can choose fan or AC room. Wlan stops working at 11PM and starts again in the morning. Distance to the beach is something like 300m and it takes couple minutes to walk there. If you travelling in low budget this is good place to stay!

Good location with pretty reasonable price as well as clean room. The lady was very nice that allowed me to change room and told some tips for staying on boracay when I arrived. Highly recommended

We stayed here for 2 nights and, although we enjoyed our stay here and quite liked the location, it wasn't anything special. The couple running it were really nice, but the place lacks a bar area or something similar to socialise. We stayed in a 4 bed room, which was clean and decent. Not a bad place to stay overall if you want a quiet stay at reasonable price

Owner Comment (Show)
I feel that this customer forgot to mention the great service we give. We woke up at 4am to unlock the room for her because she came home drunk separately from her companions and when they transferred to another resort she forgot some personal items, so we emailed her to let her know that we were keeping them safely for her. We always warn guests when they book that we do not have any hot showers in the bathrooms; after all we are only a budget hostel.
