Our stay at Matutina Pensionne was relaxed and comfortable. We stayed one night upon arrival in Puerto Princesa before continuing on to Port Barton. We enjoyed our stay and arranged to stay for a night two weeks later on our return trip. Malu and the rest of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Malu made reservations for us at... More

Highly recommended and no hassle guesthouse. The manager was very accommodating and helpful all throughout our stay. A famous pizza place is just a few steps away. If you're looking for peace, comfort, and a relaxed ambiance, Matutina is the place.

Good and peaceful location, nice atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff willing to make any sorts of reservations and calls to find out whatever info we needed. Front yard is very nice for just hanging around and the whole area is very calm and has a great atmosphere.

Matutina Pensionne is an ideal B&B for those wishing to have a quiet location in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. It is near the Cathedral and only a 5 minute tricycle ride to most restaurants and shops. Our room was large, clean, with air-con, a big refrigerator, a shower which could fit a football team and a large comfortable bed. Being owner-... More

We chose this B&B as we originally had 5 guests and couldn't find anywhere else large enough to accommodate us. When we arrived we were quickly shown our room however it hadn't been occupied in a while so when she put on the AC some ants blew out as they had been nesting in there. She was very apologetic and... More

We've stayed at Matutina for 3 nights and were pleasantly suprised by the clean rooms, good beds and their lovely staff. In front of the building with the rooms there is an area with hammocks and tables where you can chill, read, drink coffee with the other guests etc. The staff will help you with booking tours, getting a tricycle,...

All emails promptly responded. We were picked up by an older worn down van. I was a bit leery at first because the seat belt didn’t work. Only an... More
