Was a bit underwhelmed when I checked into my "new" deluxe room, as the plumbing fitting has already seen better days and there was a good deal of mould on the bathroon ceiling. Small, but annoying oversights included a broken TV remote, mineral water in fridge was frozen solid, there was not 1 glass in the room etc. These things... More

We (family of 3 - one small child) have stayed at Kiwi Lodge twice now. Once in 2006 & once this trip Dec 2011. I booked the room over 12 months ago & requested an airport pickup. The pickup happened. There were two gents waiting...very friendly. We fought the Friday night traffic back to the hotel & checked in. The... More

Staid here 10 days, and enjoyed the food and the company of the expats who use the bar and restaurant (great fish and chips). Rooms are simple and clean. Hotel is located close to the two major shopping Malls and just down the street from Mango Square the major night life bar/restaurant/night club center. Not a young crowed at the... More

Good hotel. Comfy rooms. Close to malls. Food is good. Recommend this hotel. Will return. More

Kiwi lodge is a really reliable, trustworthy and solid place with best value for money! Don't expect a very polished surface and luxurious interiors and surroundings - but instead appreciate all you get for such a great price in a country where living ususally is more or less rough (if you don't spend lots of money). The hotel has all... More

I stayed at the Kiwi Lodge for three nights during Sinulog. For the price, it is an okay place to stay. (If you are going to Sinulog, you are just a couple of blocks from the parade route and other venues, which is very convenient.) Cleanliness is a concern. The room looked clean enough but smelled funky. The bathroom also... More
