Very nice and clean place. Excellent open air bathroom
The place was cozy and quiet although there’s no aircondition the room still feels airy,the view from our room is phenomenal. The restaurant is great love the food and all the staffs were amazing they made us feel special.
No AC and lots of lizards and flies. The concept is close to nature. So these are side effects of it. We love the area near river. Beautiful decor. Friendly staff
Maybe the cutest hotel in all of bohol.
The place looks very nice, is clean and comfortable. We had a suite with rice paddy view. The room was nice and the staff extremely friendly. There was even a guy trying to greet everybody in their home language. They really did a good job on knowing their guests.
This place in wonderful. It's in the little details. So many small things are included that make your stay hassle free and special. The cottages are beautiful and comfortable and it's just a peaceful experience beside the Loboc River. The outdoor bathrooms are really nice, and the staff are very helpful!!
I have problem with the inconsistent of the food and 1 of your staffs made promises that he can’t keep otherwise most of the staffs are great. Foods are not good and expensive.
Amazing stay. The property immerses you in the Filipino countryside surrounded by the Loboc River and rice paddys on the other side. The cottages provide everything you need with nice outdoor terraces depending on your cottage. The outdoor showers were also a unique touch. The food and service we received at the fox and firefly were exceptional - GM the multilinguist waiter treats each guest with a lot of attention and care. The food was so good ! Our favorites were the papaya salad, coconut chicken, and the jackfruit French toast in the mornings - just talking about it now makes me miss it.
Noteworthy as well, were The massage therapists - one of the best massages I’ve ever received. We did not have the chance to try but they have a big elevated yoga “studio?” that probably attracts the majority of their guests.
The excursions arranged by them were reasonably priced and memorable! We did so much in our short stay.
Overall, fox and the firefly is a lovely little countryside oasis with a great staff, food, and proximity to great activities.
Zimmer waren schön, aber keine Klima und daher sehr feucht. Kleiner Pool wäre nett. Personal sehr gut. Kartenzahlung leider mur bedingt möglich.

Extrêmement décevant
Nous avions réservé pour 2 nuits en famille. En arrivant, on nous explique qu il y a un événement de yoga et qu il y aura de la musique le soir. En arrivant à notre chambre, on s aperçoit que la soirée a lieu juste derrière ! Rien à faire, aucune autre chambre dispo et pas de remboursement possible . On nous amène des boules quies ! Bien sûr rien de cela n’avait été précisé lors de notre réservation. Jusqu a 1h du mat, c est musique à fond, les murs qui tremblent . Horrible pour un séjour en famille. Tout le personnel est mobilisé sur cet événement et on a plus l’impression d embêter qu autre chose ! Dommage l endroit aurait pu être sympa. Nous avions lu de supers commentaires, nous avons été extrêmement déçus !
I absolutely loved this accommodation, and my stay on the river. They took care of every need. It was an absolutely fantastic location and easy to get to the Chocolate Hills and beyond!
I highly recommend Fox and The Firefly
The only suggestion I have is a small mirror in each hut, that way you don't have to monopolize the shared bathroom.
What a gem in Loboc! Gorgeous place in beautiful surroundings. Easy to rent a scooter to explore the area. Love the outdoor shower and glad there were mosquito nets provided over the beds. The restaurant was excellent and they probably had the best coffee in the Philippines! We also did the stand up paddle tour by night to watch fireflies, amazing experience!
Very nice place in a rural set up with a little river front area. The food was excellent. They also offer great SUP tours. The rooms are nice and very clean. However, they do not have bed side table lamps, which could be improved.
Le cottages est magnifiques
L'équipe est accueillante et chaleureuse
Un problème sur une excursion paddle pour aller voir les lucioles. Mais je pense qu'il sera résolu rapidement pour les autres voyageurs

Friendly staffs
The staffs there are very friendly and they have several cute pups too. The only down side I would say is the mosquitoes, should put some repellent for the room as well apart from just the net for the beds. Wifi need to be improve!
Lovely little village of cottages. Good restaurant. We took a SUP night trip down the river to see fireflies which was amazing. Try it! Even though you've never done SUP before. Loved the bathroom which is with no roof. Lovely.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Unfortunately we had a very bad experience staying in this hotel for one night. This hotel is a cheap eco hotel but this doesn’t mean that it had to be dirty (see photo of blood on wall).
The little traditional huts that they have are cute from the outside, but very small inside. The shower and toilet is private but ouside. Our hut was dirty and had a lot of insects in it, even ants on the bed.
At the reception there was a mouse in a mouse trap screaming as the local dogs were trying to attack it!
Bad wifi, no bottled water.
I got sick probably after eating and drinking at the restaurant at the hotel on the first night. The day after I was in a very bad shape and needed to go to the hospital. The hotel staff didn’t offer much help as they had available cars there but they made us get a taxi to the hospital. The only advice they gave us was to go to the university hospital, and that we wouldn’t get any refund if we decide not to spend the night at the hotel as per original booking. We went to another hotel that night.
Posivite: Location is very good, next to the river, offering cool activities.
Wouldn’t go back.
