it was dirty

This guest has never stayed with us and therefore has not experienced our clean accommodations and friendly staff. Since the guest was unable to use their reservation, it seems more like an act of revenge to falsely claim our place was dirty and give us an unfairly low rating to deter others from staying with us. I believe Expedia does not have a system in place to prevent this kind of behavior. If they do, I assume they will remove the entire review after reading the conversation we had with the guest on the Expedia intranet.

Hi, we are still waiting for Expedia to include the curfew in their policy. It would really help Expedia customer to make the right choice when they choose a place to stay.

Lots of bugs on the entry grounds. Loose pavers made it difficult to maneuver my luggage from the end of the street to the lobby. No refrigerator meant nothing cold to drink available. The room itself was clean and quiet. No Netflix but some local channels were available on the TV. The public shared bathroom was just outside my room. There is one mini grocery store at the end of the street. Their uber version called "Grab" is available in this location and it is near the airport. This is an old neighborhood so outside activity is limited. The smoke detector was chirping all night due to a weak battery. Since this is a family run business I didn't want to wake them to inform them about the battery replacement needed. But I did inform the manager in the morning before leaving. It was very affordable for a reason.

The room is small with no bathroom or window. The area is below street level and may be subject to flooding. There is no window and may be a fire trap.

Some times we just get a review where everything is wrong, like we would be wondering if Sam has mixed us with another place. All our rooms have window and are approved by the firedepartment every year. We do not have a problem with flooding either lol. Not sure what else i can add, maybe just check the other reviews for honest reviews.

This is quaint little boutique motel not far from Cebu airport and about half an hours drive from the port in traffic. It is a bit off the beaten path, so make sure your driver has access to Goggle maps. The website provides a fairly thorough description of the directions to get there and what landmarks are nearby. The Norwegian expat owner, JJ, couldn't be kinder and the rooms are nice gor a budget price. The rooms have a hot water carafe and free coffee and tea. Limited snacks are available to purchase. Street food is available outside and a mall is nearby. The rooms have individual AC units. My only criticisms would be a weak to nonexistent Wifi and TV signal in the back rooms, exterior bathrooms in the hallway with no hot water (but it is at least tepid), and a 10 p.m. curfew before lockdown(!?). Nevertheless, I would highly recommend the Liytle Norway Inn for the budget minded nomad.
