A wonderful place, nicely landscaped, with a bird aviary and a gigantic swimming pool, enclosed with a perfect temperature. A friendly staff. The absolute best place I've ever stayed at, and at a very fair price.

The property grounds are really nice. Lovely garden in the centre of the property. The restaurant is outside looking into the garden. Nice made to order breakfast. They have a swimming pool aswell, (possibly communal). Unfortunately, not much to do in the area. Other restaurants are about a mile away, and the centre is more than 2 miles away. The staff were all very friendly and polite throughout my stay.

I love the staff, Irene and Loi is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. They both go over and beyond my expectations. The Garden is beautiful and large. Picnic table is available for guest. I was able to bring food and have my family eat our dinner together in a picnic table. They let us cook our rice and cold water is available for us to use. There’s kettle to use although it’s shared, it’s useful to make coffee. Bath soap is provided but no shampoo and conditioner. There’s glasses and coffee mugs provided and safe box in the room.There’s table and chair in every room to sit with your friends. Friends or family are welcome to visit and they are so welcoming. I felt really home here. Downside, I got insects bites. It’s normal though when you’re in nature. Thank you Balay Tuko. I will be back.

My favorite stay in all of Asia
The staff was beyond friendly. The food was wonderful. They asked what I wanted for breakfast the night before so it could be ready before my tour. They gave me a free ride to the mall because it was raining. The garden looks exactly like the pictures. Thank you Balay Tuko. I would live there if I could.

A charming hotel located in a tropical garden near the airport and the city center of P.P. The quality of its services, rooms, catering, swimming pool, wifi, and especially the kindness of its owners and its staff make it a place of peace and back there.Thank you to all of you.

For modern conveniences, Balay Tuko is the answer!
In 3 of our hotel stays in PP, El Nido, & Coron Balay Tuko in PP topped the best hotel in terms of comp breakfast with more choices, modern bathroom, comfortable bed, & better service. We'd be staying there again if back in PP.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I wasn’t comfortable staying in this place. There is no room service . The place is so far from stores and restaurant. Transportation to the city not that accessible and it’s hard to contact a taxi. There is no constant receptionist available . No intercom or phone to call the reception area. Servers in their restaurant are not well trained to cater to the customer’s needs . No refrigerator in the room to stock some foods considering that no room service and the distant to buy easy food stuffs .

Lots of rules.
You are not allowed to eat in your room and are discouraged from bringing in outside food and beverages with the possibility of corkage and waste disposal fees. Would not have booked if I was aware of this before my arrival.
