Guest reviews for Cold River
"Loved style privacy (building set back, not in the center of town but a 8-10 min walk. Enjoyed the sitting area out front of the room and the breakfast was great and balanced. Helpful and friendly staff :)"
"Was on the bottom floor and could hear the people above walking around early in the morning. The water was always dripping out of the toilet piping so had to turn off at night. But I'm sensitive to sounds like that !"
"Our room was very nice and comfortable with a private balcony and bathroom. The breakfast provided was wonderful, and the staff and owners were super friendly and accommodating. Location is fantastic - not right in the middle of the downtown touristy areas but close enough to walk and get around easily."
"Aucun."
"Breakfast! It is a fabulous and complete breakfast served daily by the owners. The room with a balcony is worth the extra expense. The furnishings are stylish and practical. I stayed here before and hope to stay again. The local front desk team is super helpful. Por really guided me when my phone broke and I needed to get to a shop for repair."
"I like it very much at Cold River."

"Note: This is my second (glowing) review for Mabuhay Guest House. As I was waiting for my visa process to complete at the nearby embassy, I kept extending my stay with Ms. Sara. The price, location, and overall value are what initially caught my attention. But what makes staying at Mabuhay really great is the host! Ms. Sara is one of the nicest/most genuine people I've ever met. During my stay, she was able to help me solve numerous travel-related issues. She definitely didn't need to help me, but that's just the type of person she is... And while I'm not particularly social when I travel, it wasn't long before I was hanging out downstairs with Ms Sara and the other guests, with a cold beverage, talking about a wide range of topics. I really hope the best for Ms Sara's business and family. And I genuinely appreciate the hospitality."
"This was an interesting hostel to stay at in a private room that was quiet (thanks to some soundproofing), and my room was cool with a loft bed over an area with a nice desk (I work remotely) and ample closet space. Great location just minutes from the night market and other sights. I spent most of my time here just walking around and exploring the city. Nice breakfast!"
