Many praise the clean, modern rooms, comfortable beds, and a well-kept pool. The area sits near Momo Beach and a short ride from Alona; dining options within walking distance are scarce, so most guests used tuktuks or scooters. Service is widely described as friendly and accommodating, with free airport pick-up, tour help, and thoughtful extras, but a few guests noted unclear charges, limited menus, or lapses in on-site food availability. Expect a tidy, relaxing stay suited to travelers who prefer tranquility over nightlife.

Well-kept pool and quiet grounds; free airport transfers and scooter hire make getting around easier. On-site bar and a small restaurant are available, though menus are limited and Wi‑Fi, while generally good, had occasional brief interruptions.

This boutique property is new, super clean, and spacious. Chy, Frank, and their team made us feel welcomed and they were there to pick us up from the airport and even help book our excursions for the day. The hotel is up to European standards with comforatble beds/bedsheets, strong wifi, and their staff Jon and Angelica always gave us 5 star service with a smile. The food at the restaurant and drinks from the bar area was amazing. The property is about 15 minutes away from the nightlife but Chy helped us book scooters for the day. In the evening we enjoyed coming back to our rooms away from touristy area of Alona Beach. We look forward to visiting again soon!

The property is first class and a great value. It is a bit away from Alona Beach and other resorts but it was fine as our tuk tuk driver was always just a call/text away. The pool was always refreshing, snacks and drinks were available in the rooms for a nominal fee, internet worked well except during a short brown out of course. There was a limited menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The outside bar was convenient too. It was honestly a quiet stay although it appeared there was little of no vacancies. It definitely was not a party spot while we were there which was fine since it gave us the opportunity to recharge at the end of the day. Staff was great and friendly also. Motorbikes were also available for daily rate of 400PHP. Would definitely stay again! BTW, call them when you land and they’ll send a car to pick you up at the airport

We really enjoyed staying here. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, and everything you need is there. They had slippers & bathrobes, shower & swimming towels, a refrigerator and safe. You can rent a scooter if you like as well. It's only a 5 minute drive to the beach & the area is quiet. We will be back for sure. And a shout out to Frank, thank you for your help & hospitality.

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.

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.

The place is away from the hustle bustle, very quiet and serene, relaxing with well planned out lay out. Just make sure you have good Wifi connections since the airport in Panglao is spotty. Even after using a local phone, couldn't connect to the hotel. But once we got checked in, everthing went well. The owner was apologetic. The place is well maintained, clean ,spotless, good hot showers and AC. Service is prompt, mini restaurant food was good, you can eat at your patio or at the dining area. Pool was inviting. They will call you a " tuktuk" to get to Alona Beach ( 20 minutes away) about $8.50 round trip. They can arrange excursions for you too. Overall, we had a nice, relaxing stay at the Inn.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Our stay was truly amazing. Husband and wife owners live on site, a lot of attention to detail. Staff very polite and eager to please. 10 rooms, 5 up and 5 down, in maculate shape, also very spacious and modern and very clean. Relaxing atmosphere, not located on beach, but easy access to beach n airport by taxi. Staff eager to make all arrangements for taxi, tours, rentals etc for you. Would definitely stay again, genuinely a 10 rating!

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 😊😊

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.

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.

Excellent personalised service. Run by the owner’s family, the stay feels like being at home away from home. Somebody always available to meet your needs. Thistle Inn can be classed as a small boutique accommodation away from but accessible to the busy tourist areas. Highly recommended to everyone including couples and families looking for a quiet place to retreat and rest after a busy day seeing the sights.

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!

Location
Set in a back-road area near Momo Beach, it’s a short ride to Alona’s restaurants and nightlife. Several reviews note few eateries within walking distance, so guests commonly used tuktuks or scooters.

The property is first class and a great value. It is a bit away from Alona Beach and other resorts but it was fine as our tuk tuk driver was always just a call/text away. The pool was always refreshing, snacks and drinks were available in the rooms for a nominal fee, internet worked well except during a short brown out of course. There was a limited menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The outside bar was convenient too. It was honestly a quiet stay although it appeared there was little of no vacancies. It definitely was not a party spot while we were there which was fine since it gave us the opportunity to recharge at the end of the day. Staff was great and friendly also. Motorbikes were also available for daily rate of 400PHP. Would definitely stay again! BTW, call them when you land and they’ll send a car to pick you up at the airport

We really enjoyed staying here. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, and everything you need is there. They had slippers & bathrobes, shower & swimming towels, a refrigerator and safe. You can rent a scooter if you like as well. It's only a 5 minute drive to the beach & the area is quiet. We will be back for sure. And a shout out to Frank, thank you for your help & hospitality.

Would definitely come back to this place. It had such a laid back and quiet vibe but still very close to main tourist attractions.

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.

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!

The place is away from the hustle bustle, very quiet and serene, relaxing with well planned out lay out. Just make sure you have good Wifi connections since the airport in Panglao is spotty. Even after using a local phone, couldn't connect to the hotel. But once we got checked in, everthing went well. The owner was apologetic. The place is well maintained, clean ,spotless, good hot showers and AC. Service is prompt, mini restaurant food was good, you can eat at your patio or at the dining area. Pool was inviting. They will call you a " tuktuk" to get to Alona Beach ( 20 minutes away) about $8.50 round trip. They can arrange excursions for you too. Overall, we had a nice, relaxing stay at the Inn.

The food at the restaurant and drinks from the bar area was amazing. The property is about 15 minutes away from the nightlife but Chy helped us book scooters for the day.

They will call you a " tuktuk" to get to Alona Beach ( 20 minutes away) about $8.50 round trip. They can arrange excursions for you too. Overall, we had a nice, relaxing stay at the Inn.
The place is away from the hustle bustle, very quiet and serene, relaxing with well planned out lay out. Just make sure you have good Wifi connections since the airport in Panglao is spotty.

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.

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.

We’re incredibly grateful for the warm welcome we received at Thistle Inn. The pool is gorgeous, the surroundings are lush and beautifully green, and the peaceful setting near the beach makes it especially ideal for couples looking to slow down and unwind. We also loved the thoughtful Valentine’s décor — such a sweet touch — and the convenience of being able to rent motorbikes to explore the island. A gentle note for fellow travelers: this is a more rural and naturally preserved part of Bohol, which is part of its magic. The local community is genuinely kind and welcoming, and visiting with respect, patience, and appreciation for the environment helps keep it that way. If you’re looking for somewhere quiet, heartfelt, and connected to the natural beauty of the island, Thistle Inn is a lovely place to stay.
