Strategically located in the quiet town of Batuan, this charming homestay balances incredible value with unmatched local hospitality, making it a favorite launchpad for exploring Bohol’s most iconic inland natural wonders.
A Strategic Gate to the Chocolate Hills

The homestay offers convenient access to some of Bohol’s most popular attractions, including the famous Chocolate Hills viewpoint located around 20 to 32 kilometers away, the Philippine Tarsier Sanctuary approximately 14 kilometers from the property, and the unique ShipHaus, a ship shaped tourist landmark situated only about 500 meters away, making the homestay an ideal base for exploring Bohol’s countryside attractions.
The Charm of Home-Style Comforts
The property features a modest yet comfortable rustic-industrial design focused on relaxation, offering guests a choice between spacious family rooms with private bathrooms and budget friendly double rooms with shared facilities. Visitors often praise the welcoming atmosphere, especially the upper terrace common area equipped with basic kitchen essentials where guests can enjoy coffee while overlooking the surrounding rural fields. The property is also known for its home cooked Filipino breakfasts served in an open-air dining area, with the hosting family occasionally sharing traditional group meals with visitors, creating a warm and local experience. To make countryside exploration more convenient, the accommodation also provides on-site scooter rentals, free private parking, and reliable wifi access for travelers.
Radical Hospitality on a Budget
What truly elevates MIOKI HOMETEL to its elite standing on global booking forums is the genuine kindness of its hosts. Guests consistently emphasize how the family goes above and beyond, from providing tailored travel itineraries and arranging transport to the local bus stops to creating an inclusive, pet-friendly atmosphere where everyone feels like part of the household. It stands out as an indispensable countryside base for couples, solo backpackers, and digital nomads eager to experience the authentic soul of Bohol without breaking the bank.
