    Location may be a downside for some. Not super close to other restaurants so unless you have a bike you might be stuck eating here every night (food is good but a bit pricy).

    Loved our stay here, it's in a lovely local area of Bohol - for me I preferred it compared to Panglao but for some people they may feel isolated. The premise is beautiful, lovely pockets of greenery and beauty. Staff were great and friendly, super easy to organize tours/rent a bike and DIY something yourself. There was an eco responsible attitude about the tours and activities which I appreciated alot. Food was very good at the restaurant:)

    Relaxing in nature of Loboc River

    Great location right by the Loboc River and nearby the center of Loboc, a small and peaceful village. I definitely recommend renting a scooter while staying here — it makes exploring the area much easier and more enjoyable. The room in the main building was much more spacious and comfortable, with far fewer bugs. Were beautifully decorated and featured private open-air bathroom, which added a unique charm to the stay. The food was great — I ended up repeating my favorite dish, the Spaghetti aglio e olio, because it was just that good! Drinks and breakfast were also delicious. It’s a lovely spot to relax and a great base to explore the Loboc River area. Watching the fireflies at night was one of the most magical moments of our trip. There are also plenty of alternative tour options available just down the street from the hotel, which is very convenient. Highly recommended this relaxing and green stay at Loboc River!

    We stayed the first night in one of the cottages and we felt the space was quite small, and the lighting attracted a lot of insects and i got bug bites, from ants and mosquitoes. For those who aren’t used to this kind of rustic setup, it’s good to be aware in advance.

We stayed the first night in one of the cottages and then moved to a room in the main building. The cottage had a sweet surprise from the staff for our honeymoon — such a thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated.

    This place was a dream. Loved everything about it, the bedroom, the outside bathroom was beautiful. All the surroundings are perfect, so much nature, it has a great river deck. And I had so much fun paddling down the river. The food is pretty good at the bar and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Definitely would go back.

    There was nothing we didn’t like. Everything met or exceeded our expectations.

    We honestly loved everything about Fox & Firefly. The peaceful location, surrounded by nature, the cozy and clean cottages, the amazing food, and the super friendly staff—it was all perfect. It felt like a hidden gem where we could really disconnect and enjoy Bohol in a unique way. One of the highlights of our entire trip was the nighttime paddleboarding excursion to see the fireflies—absolutely magical!

    A special place offering a true slice of tropical paradise tucked away on the Loboc River.

    We love nature but the walkways had too many leaves in the way - we know this is something small and funny but not ideal especially at night. The riverside area was also gorgeous and unique but it was a shame there was litter and garbage on the riverside ruining the special feeling. For the information for future guests, the place is generally not wheelchair-accessible given the small winding paths around the grounds and dense foliage, as well as the upstairs restaurant.

    Facilities were unique and provided a one of a kind experience and views. A very special place tucked away on the Loboc river! The staff were all warm and welcoming and provided a lovely personal touch to their services. The restaurant had a great menu showcasing food across the Philippines. You truly feel in touch with nature, especially on the riverside area where you can admire birds and bats at dusk! There were firefly river tours offered too.

    Nothing, everything is perfect

    The location is great in font of Locob River, but mainly the feeling when you are here seems like you are in a natural paradise: the cottages are immersed in the plants, you can hear birds singing, fireflies fly around if you wake up at night. The hotel has a great restaurant that offers excellent dishes (also vegan and gluten free) , the staff is very kind, many excursions and activities are available, including yoga classes and massages. What else could you be asking for?

    We did not like the restaurant too much - quite expensive, the food was kind of fusion, was missing more local flavours (local dishes were sold-out every time when we tried to order these).

    Really nice accommodation with separate cottages. feeling like living in the jungle. We had second floor room with balcony and view over rice field. Room had everything you need, very nice partly opened bathroom. We enjoyed morning walk village tour with local guide, who lives in the village and so you get real insights to local life.

    Everything was excellent

    A beautiful location opposite the famous green Loboc River. It was so peaceful with the accommodation surrounded by coconut plantations and mango trees & views of rice paddy's. The resort is authentic with bamboo structures. The menu is excellent & beautifully presented. There is a separate yoga & massage area. The rooms have lots of facilities, they provide mosquito nets & plugs, filtered water, green tea & teapot. Definitely worth the experience. The SUP tours are fantastic too, amazing tour guides.
