Beware hidden costs and tips ”
Kayak Inn is a basic place to stay. It has bamboo huts and very basic bathroom/toilet with a bucket for a shower. In the garden there are a number of recycled metal hot tubs which Look good. I was there only one night. The mama who manages it was welcoming but didn't ask my name. Her daughters saw me to my room and brought me a mosquito net and set it up too. This should really be a permanent fixture in the rooms not a special request as its near the river. I didn't go kayaking as there isn't a guide. There's a man who runs along the river bank Instead. I did however decide to go to the waterfall. The mama said her 15 yr daughter would go with me. I didn't need anyone to go with me but she looked keen and I thought she wanted to practice her English so I said ok. In Tuno village I had to pay P50. Not a large amount but a surprise I wasn't told about. Then I was told that I would have to pay another 150 for a guide from the village. I offered to pay for the guide if he would only leave me alone and let me follow the easy and well worn track but he insisted on coming. So now I had to walk through lovely landscape looking at a man in a bright orange t shirt and a 15 yr old girl neither of whom I actually wanted or needed. The waterfall was unremarkable and on the way back I persuaded the man to leave me and go back to the village but I couldn't shake the girl off. She kept waiting for me around every corner and wouldn't go home. That Spoilt the whole for me. The mama cooked me nice dinner and when it came to pay the price was very reasonable. However as I was leaving she asked me whether I had tipped her daughter for taking me to the waterfall. That left a nasty taste and it seems they are pleasant to you only if its financially beneficial to them. It's a family who manages this place and at time there can be anything up to 12 kids hanging around. Probably wouldnt

Awesome location”
My sister and I stayed here while exploring Tibiao. We stayed in a private bungalow that was located right beside the river. The bungalow was clean and very quiet at night. The owners cooked us meals if we asked for them and the surroundings them self are beautiful!

Kawa Experience”
We stop over kayak inn to cut the long trip from iloilo to boracay. Totally worth it! and it is better to book directly with Ate Sheila and Kuya Edwin ;)

Great place to stay with lots of fun activities”
Enjoy the provincial life at Tibiao in this place. No network signal but you can do many fun activities during the day like white water kayaking, trekking to Bugtong bato Falls, zip line and spending lazy afties in their worl famous Kawa bath! Over all, my stay in this place is all worth the looong travel!!

Watch out for the lady giving the bill”
The staff is absolutely amazing and the place is great. The manager there likes to tack on a bunch of random fees that are never mentioned. Also, the prices will be different than what you agree on with the other staff. You will have to bring in the other staff and also ask to talk to the owners before you will get the fair price. Was quite a pain. The rest of the staff is amazing though, not sure how the owners put someone so dishonest in charge. If you want the kawa experience without the hassle, there are many other accomadations in the area with the same offering.

On the river bank”
The resort is wide in area and surrounded by large and tall trees. My nipa hut accommodation is in the ridge of the river bank. The room is very basic but comfortable. The mild roaring of water at the river is like a heavy rain which somehow relieves stress. We have balcony with dining table where the food is served. Amazingly, there were no mosquitoes in the site although a mosquito net is provided in the room. There is no hot shower and internet in the hut and other area. We were relaxed though. The foods we ordered are very good and with good serving. We tried their kawa bath. Wish they have put some aromatic herbs to make it more enticing although some guava and caimito leaves and flowers are in it. There are dogs within the area but they are tame. Over all it is okay.

Very good”
There was no proper coordination. We arrived at the property and staffs told us there is no more slot for us. I told that can't be because we booked it through Agoda. The staffs explained they were not able to receive any notification from the main office as they do not have signal. Well I understand, that was the reason I came back to this place because it is really a place to relax, no cell signal and no tv, it is really a place to get away from the city's hustle and bustle. Good thing staffs were able to do something about the issue and we had a wonderful time staying in the property. My daughter enjoyed the Kawa bath and the river. Staffs are very polite and accomodating.

If you want to be completely disconnected from the outside world”
The overnight stay here is not recommended - a day trip is good - but to actually stay here overnight, that’s something I won’t do again. The staff were friendly - but because they’re a family, everything is being charged - food, transportation, and water. The kawa is the only attraction here.

Excellent”
Nous sommes arrivés pour voir les cascades bugton bado et voulions faire un trek car on aime les randonnées ! La famille des lieux nous on proposes de partir deux jours avec eux en faisant une nuit dans la montagne . Je peux vous dire une expérience hors du commun , c’était super nous avons participé à la pêche traditionnelle avec eux en remontant la rivière , nous avons eux des grenouilles des serpents à faire griller le soir même , et d’une genrillesse et une attention hors paire ! Des paysages à coupe le souffle ! Bref on le recommande ‘ attention le trek c’est pas pour les débutants
