Average at best

A very average place. Rooms were clean and had some helpful things like safe box and drying rack but shower pressure was bad and avoid room 7. If you are unlucky like us and get this room you will get woken up by the doorbell that rings outside your door whenever anyone needs the reception.

Perfectly adequate Inn. Good location to alot around Alona. The main fault i had with the place was the very hard bed and rock like pillows. I believe there are similar places, price wise, around that offer free breakfast and maybe even a pool, so i will dig a little deeper before booking next time

Alona Gecko is very clean, simple accommodation in a fantastic location. Great restaurants nearby and a short walk to the beach. There are no fancy extras - just a good place to stay with friendly staff, and a nice clean bathroom to shower after a day at the beach. Well worth the price.

10 days, no complaints- a great find!

We've been to Alona 5+ times and our most recent stay was the first time we stayed at Alona Gecko but wish we'd discovered before! The location, size, amenities, and staff are a steal! Hot water shower, fridge, kettle, lanai, great staff, and great location. Especially for this very quickly changing part of the Philippines, Alona Gecko still provides great value and service among bigger, over-priced resorts which are taking over. No complaints, just hope it's still here on our next visit!!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at this hotel and wanted to share my feedback. The location was fantastic, and the price was very reasonable, making it a great value option. The hotel staff were consistently nice and friendly, which was a definite plus. The cleanliness of the rooms was also commendable. On the other hand, the towels and bedsheets felt quite worn and rugged. While the air conditioning did work, I was unable to adjust the temperature to my preference. Lastly, although there was a TV in the room, it had a "coming soon" message displayed and was not operational during my stay.

see you again

우리 부부가 헤난보다 더 좋아하는 곳. 자연친화적인 조경도 좋고 공용공간에는 개수대와 세탁기가 있어 빨래도 할수 있고 방앞에는 건조대가 있어 빨래 말리기도 좋다. 파티오가 있어 흡연자들에게는 천국이지만 비흡연자들은 괴로울수 있다. 무엇보다 그곳에서 일하는 어여쁜 소녀는 항상 웃으며 인사해주고 영어를 못하는 나를 위해 기다려주고 도와주려 애썻다. (이름도 물어보질 못했네) 여행 일정이 변경되어 숙박을 연장하려했으나 풀북으로 인하여 오늘 체크아웃. 이곳을 떠나 다른곳으로 옮길려니 너무 아쉬웠다. See you again!

良かった点...スタッフが親切、フロントが24時間対応、ホテルで売っているビールや水の価格が安い、ビーチから離れているため夜は静か。 悪かった点...シャワールームの排水、エアコンの音。 だが価格が安いので許容範囲です。
