Not really a host-free stay like VRBO advertises - the reason I prefer using VRBO in the first place. The caretakers, Kuya Bing and Ate Susan, although very acommodating and kind, can come across as overbearing. They live in the staff quarters which is an arms-length away from the back door. There is no cooking area inside the house. All cooking is done in the said staff quarters where they will watch you as you cook. Aside from the location, the main reason I booked this place is for the laundry facilities. We came from the US and directly travelled to Boracay for a week and therefore 5 of us had laundry to do. We were not allowed to use the washer/dryer ourselves and was told that they were more familiar with the machine (giving us the impression that we were ignorant and might break said machine) Ate Susan did our laundry and the cost is "up to us". We had about 5 loads of laundry and was later told that the liquid detergent and fabric conditioner we previously provided were not sufficient. She offered to purchase more detergent/fabcon for us, costing about another Php900. My clothes smelled too strongly of detergent, same as the bedsheets in my room. I personally think she was using too much detergent (liquid detergents are designed to be more efficient with less quantity used as compared to the powder variants.)Finally, we were never given keys to the house. We had to use the doorbell every time which Kuya Bing would promply attend to with a smile.
