Judith is the very best hostess who will go out of her way to make sure you have a wonderful, welcoming experience not only at her guesthouse but the whole area. She's so knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. She scheduled a night boat ride on the Decalachao River which runs through her property to see the fireflies, stars (literally out of this world), and luminescent plankton. I was heading to another spot the next day and she went out of her way to contact the hotel to arrange my boat pick up at the Decalachao pier and arranged transport there for me and my luggage (and on the return trip too). The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the views of the river and surrounding area were beautiful, and the food was generous and delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and hope to return someday soon!

Comfortable, quiet and truly excellent staff
Posted 15 Feb 2023 on HotelsOur stay at the Riverhouse was amazing! The owners really did everything they could to make sure our stay was the best that it could be. When they found out it was our honeymoon, they even arranged a surprise for us to make sure our stay was extra special. If you stay here, make sure to take some time to speak with the owners!
The staff really do go above and beyond to ensure day trips are smooth and seamless. You just book and everything is taken care of. Breakfast is basic but delicious and the food is some of the best we have had the in the Philippines!
Other positives:
- comfortable bed with multiple types of pillows
- seamless transfers from town or the airport
- baggage service
- The area is so quiet! No roosters or motorcycle noise to be found here (a challenge sometimes in the Philippines)!
Overall, the details (like mirrored glass on the windows for privacy) are taken care of and it really shows. We would definitely stay again!

In the woods, downhill, next to a cemetery, must cross a dangerous bridge to get to the property

Interesting that you do not have the guts to identify yourself, but hide behind "anonymous" Did you even stay here?
We don't know which hotel you are referring to, but it cannot be ours:
- n the woods, no- be precise, it is in the jungle, by design and on purpose.
- Downhill?. strange, it is UPhill to the resort !
- Next to a cemetery. - yes there is a cemetery nearly 2 km down the road. if that distance still bothers you, then you must have had a very bad childhood experience.
- Dangerous bridge? Funny, there are no bridges to cross on the way here from the village. And who decides what is dangerous? you?
The only point you have made with your diatribe is that none of the above have any bearing on the quality of the hotel, which is what people want to know.

The surrounding of the property is very unique. The rooms are very spacious and same is true for the balconies. However, the property location is very remote. Anyone willing to visit attractive sites in Coron such as the island hopping, going to lagoons etc. are advised not to stay in this hotel. The hotel is for people who wants to stay very near to the nature. Their is no shops, or restaurants are available in miles around the property.

Quiet place for relaxation
Posted 24 May 2019 on HotelsThe place is only 15 minutes away from the airport, which is great. Quiet and away from town. The owner and staffs are friendly and accommodating. The beaches are few minutes away in a boat ride. The boat rides are fun so lack of a swimming pool doesn’t bother us.

Quiet at The Riverside
Posted 22 Feb 2019 on HotelsWe really enjoyed our stay at The Riverside - it was very chilled and quiet. Great for recharging your batteries and enjoying nature.
We ate every evening at the restaurant as the location is pretty isolated, but that is all part of the charm. We didn’t take any of the trips on offer as we were both feeling under the weather however there were a number of interesting options, including island hoping and firefly watching.

Jungle hotel
Posted 14 Feb 2019 on HotelsGreat hotel in the jungle with amazing views over the river. The rooms were excellent value. 10 minutes to the airport so very handy if you have an early flight from tiny Coron airport.
