Nice room and pool except my 9 year old son ordered out of pool at 9am apparently for pool maintenance that didnt happen. Breakfast expensive. Miles from anywhere. One staff member very bossy and rude. Same staff insisted we pay for a 500ml water because an empty water bottle found in our room bin although we bought that bottle in La Familia restaurant in Panglao town where we had dinner.

They could have a larger menu. But it's very new, and they provide a lot of the little things like shaving kits, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo, soap and slippers.

The Thistle Inn is a lovely, nice oasis. The room was very clean and the service was outstanding. It is a well-run family-owned business. The owners organized airport pick up, our motorbike and car rental, and quickly addressed any questions we had during our stay. Would highly recommend it!

Beautiful rooms but no food served
Beautiful rooms and pool area! The location is away from the tourist spot so its very beautiful however please be aware that there are no food spots within walking distance and the hotel did not serve food or drinks during our time so this was a major problem for us. We would have appreciated being warned of this in advance of our stay as the listing states that there is a restaurant in house. We ended up spending lots on transport as the closest restaurant/cafe was a 10 min drive away. The hotel is near momo beach which is the most beautiful place to watch sunset, not a tourist in sight!

Best location, staff, and rooms.
Frank, Chy and the rest of the staff were super accommodating and they went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. The rooms are well spaced, we have an infant and they made sure we had a cot available. They also catered for our baby’s food. Room is always clean without us even asking. They recommended places to visit, where to eat and what to do. The pool is literally outside the rooms so our little one had so much fun! We had the best time and we are extremely grateful to the owner and staff of thistle inn. We will definitely stay there again.

This property is almost 1 year old , every aspect of it is wonderful. We had a excellent time while visiting, we needed to add a couple of days to our stay after a change in plans.
They handled it without any problem at all. I know we will return again in the future.
The pool was crystal clear every day, grounds are well kept, amazing staff, food was excellent , pricing is extremely reasonable.

10/10 Highly Recommend! The staff were so friendly and hospitable. We felt so welcomed. The way the rooms were designed was very well thought out to ensure comfort of their guests. Would definitely come back to this place. It had such a laid back and quiet vibe but still very close to main tourist attractions.

A lovely getaway
Had a wonderful stay with family in Thistle Inn, all thanks to ate Chai and the Thistle Inn team for being so accommodating.
The Inn was cosy and clean, a perfect getaway stay as it was private and quiet with only a couple of rooms, but still accessible to the best spots and activities in Bohol.
We were able to enjoy and tour the beautiful Bohol due to ate Chai assisting us with contacting tours and recommending places to see, as well as airport pick up and drop off.
Many thanks Thistle Inn for all your help, would definitely recommend 😊😊

Clean establishment.
Far from eateries. It costs @ $6 for the trike return to go to Alona beach and restaurants. Very basic meals at this inn. However, for those who prefers to be away from the business of Panglao, Momo beach is a few minutes walking distance. The pool is also a plus.
Airport pick up and drop off, a bonus.
Owners/staffs attentive to clients needs.

Lovely resort.
This is a wonderful boutique resort in a quiet area not far from the airport and coast. Very spacious room with Netflix. I highly recommend renting the hotel scooter to get around. Riding in Bohol is safe and pleasant.

Nice, clean, new hotel.
This is a new hotel with only 10 rooms, in a nice quiet back road location.
It's about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the local Momo beach and again about a 10 minute tuk-tuk ride or scooter ride to the vibrant and busy tourist area of Alona beach.
The whole hotel including the pool and garden area, bar and breakfast area are all spotless.
All the staff are very helpful and will do everything they can to ensure your stay is as perfect as it can be.
Bar prices by the pool and the minibar in your room are very competitive prices (although NOT all the items in the minibar are priced up) which needs to be sorted.
The food menu for lunch and evening meals are restricted but just ask the chef and they will cook exactly what you want if they have it. Lots of items are not listed on the menu so you have to guess at the prices (portion of french fries = 250 PP).
The hotel offer free airport pickup and drop off which is a massive help especially when you need to be at the airport by 06.15 in the morning.
They have a little scooter for hire which is new and runs perfectly at a very good price.
My partner and I stayed here for 10 nights. It was almost perfect!
I have to be honest, so, the only downfall (which is not the hotels fault) if you are a light sleeper, like I am, is that some nights the locals enjoy very loud karaoke and music from outside their homes which travels to your room and can go on until quite late and the early morning cockerels and the odd dog barking.
