Carmen – Gistiheimili

Overall, I am very impressed with the property. This is by far the only local (Boholano) accommodation that made an impression.

This is a Genuine review as other places have offered money to leave a good one. We arrived at Casa Aguelo and were taken back by the scenery, nestled quietly in the middle of the chocolate hills and only 5 minutes to the main view point. The building itself was the cleanest and well built property we’ve stayed in whilst travelling the Philippines and the food was fantastic (The Host went out to buy fresh produce for every meal). The staff were very accommodating and helpful, a small family run business definitely worth visiting. The Host offered to take us on a private tour of the island visiting local sites away from all the tourism. He did so in his own state of the art pick up truck offering to let us take a ride in the back (open air) where we were given a panoramic view as we drove. He spoke to us about the many things Bohol had to offer and let us create our own itinerary. He spent the day from 08:00am until 18:00 showing us the beautiful wildlife, private waterfalls and introducing us the locals and showing us the true bohol. After all this he drove us all the way down to Panglao island over two hours away to our next destination. He was the best company and explained everything and anything he could about the culture and places we’d visited along the way. What we paid was better than reasonable compared to the price of the more commercial tours scattered all over Bohol. We are a family of three backpacking and staying in hostels, beach huts etc and only visited here on a recommendation (so glad we did). I’ve kept in touch with Bernard and will be bringing along other family members next time. Experience the Real Bohol at Casa Aguelo giving a 5* all day long. Sad to leave and wish we’d had more time with the family, two days just wasn’t enough. Thank you Bernard x
