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!!

Immer wieder gern :-)
Reisen in Südostasien hat oft Herausforderungen: Langsames WiFi, lahme Klima, laute Bässe oder Kakerlaken. Im Gecko Inn war all das nicht vorhanden. Alles war in super Zustand, ordentlich und funktionstüchtig. Kann das Hotel daher nur wärmstens empfehlen, wenn man am Alona Beach Urlaub machen möchte und nachts dann doch seine Ruhe von der lauten Musik oder der nahen Straße haben will. Holger war dazu auch total nett bei der Begrüßung und ich hatte den Eindruck, ihn mit jeder Frage belagern zu dürfen.

部屋は清潔で、ビーチからも歩いて近く非常に重宝しました。プールはないですが、日中アクティブに参加したり、ビーチ遊びするなら料金も安いのでありだと思います

パングラオ島全般に言える事ですが、トイレにペーパーが流せないので、備え付けのゴミ箱に入れますが、その日毎の白いビニル袋を持って行って、その中に入れて捨てる方が良いと思います。ウォシュレットの代わりに、小さなシャワーヘッドの洗浄器具が付属してますので、慣れが必要ですがお尻は洗えます。 目の前の庭は、毎日早朝にスタッフが落ち葉や枯草を掃除してますので、とても綺麗です。 難を挙げると、洗濯が禁止で、外の小さな干すところには、バスタオルや水着のみと決められています。 また、室内履きが無いので、サンダルを買うなど必要です。サンダルは近くで170ペソくらいで売っています。 飲料水は、ホテルで買う方が安いです。たくさんあった方が良いと思います。タオルは言えば替えてくれます。 言葉は英語になりますので、翻訳アプリで対応しました。 チェックインの時、一部屋あたり、1000ペソのデポジットを徴収されます。チェックアウトの時、戻ってきます。
