Beautiful location, terrible access
Gorgeous place, but not for everyone. 20 minute walk through shopping mall, beach and a plethora of stairs before you arrive at check in, and no major signs pointing out the way. The tents, or “nests,” are comfortable and come with great views, but you earn the views.

Overall our experience is great. Highly recommend. Very helpful organizing daily tour. Sunset yoga gives amazing views(please don't forget to spray your mosquito spray before you start session:) super tasty breakfast with an awesome view, my choice was eggplant bistek and was super yummy. If you are a smoker as we are, consider to smoke before climbing 200 steps since the property is smoking-free.

The service was excellent! There were 2 bellman waiting for us because it is a long walk from the main road to the treehouses. We were welcomed with a cold drink after we survived the 150 bamboo steps🙂 The info we got was super clear en friendly. The “nest” was breathtaking! You could see the whole bay and some islands in the distance, surrounding with trees, birds and the zip line. The tent interior was in the same style as the restaurant/reception. Natural, cozy, detailed, with a wink. I loved the bamboo toothbrushes as I use them myself also, just like the tooth powder. Nice touch for the people who never tried it before. Everywhere were signings about what you can do to be more conscious and sustainable. The only thing that we liked less was that it was really moist. Probably because we were high in the trees and it was still the rainy season. Overall excellent glamping experience ✨

It's obvious what is unique about this property - glamping in the treetops. the view is amazing. I felt the value isn't great for what you get. Breakfast choices are limited. Making guests pay to rent beach towels is a bit stingy. The bed is comfortable but a sheet should be provided as the doona gets very hot with no air conditioning. I woke up with insect bites all over despite spraying with insect repellant and using the insect coil provided.

Once one has reached the Birdhouse proper everything is fine, very nice staff, beaytiful views, amenities in line with expectations. However there was no warning on Expedia site about the 10 to15 min walk (not too bad) followed by a 140 steps bamboo staircase one has to climb to finally enjoy the place. Fortunately staffs carried our suitcases or we would never have made it. At 72, this still was quite a hard climb. The property has a very nice and good restaurant.

The Birdhouse is a must stay place if you are visiting El Nido. The accommodation is amazing and the views are even more so. Sitting just off of the beach, this place has been put together with a great attention to detail by a lovely couple Camille and Mark who went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The tasting menu at the restaurant is also a must if you visit.

One word to describe my experience with The Birdhouse El Nido: surreal! The location was steps (a good amount but worth it) from the beach, the staff (shoutout to PJ - kabayan!!) was nothing less than top notch hospitable and helpful (from the welcome, the setting up of tours and info around the island from staff, to the includes breakfast and food), the amenities were what was expected (please don’t expect bubble baths, airconditioning, or hot water - you are in between the beach and the jungle and it can be humid in the Philippines, cool shower and a nice breeze from outside is the best), the tent is an awesome idea I love it (although a little updating would help especially because of humidity), the views from out nest was breathtaking (not to metion a big possibility of almost certainly being mesmerized by a rainbow in the morning), and the people around the property were respectful of the visitors. I definitely recommend a stay at The Birdhouse. I can’t wait to visit and stay at the property again.

Loved it
We were really excited to try glamping with a great view and the Birdhouse didn’t disappoint. Absolutely awesome place. It’s so stylishly done and really comfy. The staff were so helpful and the food (including the free breakfast) was fantastic. We really liked the location too - Marimegmeg beach is really chilled out and a lot more beautiful than El Nido beach (which is still easily reachable via tricycle).

Amazing views in these nests. The staff are lovely and it’s very chic design. Worth being aware that there is no hot water and air conditioning. It is also a bit out of the way and you need to walk 15 mins to get there from the nearest taxi point. The beds are a bit hard but otherwise it’s lovely and well worth a stay if you are ok with those other things.

Absolutely fantastic place to hide from the noise and rush of El Nido. We have been spoiled by the hotel staff from the second we arrived at the airport. The hotel arranged for us a cheap pick up from the Puerto Princessa and sent a welcome comity to pick us up from the main road. We have been offered help and advice on the best way to spend our time in El Nido. Everytime we were back to the hotel we had been welcomed with a cold water and a warm smiles and offers of help/ assistance. Great, beautiful place and fantastic people x

Amazing views and luxury camping close to beach
The hotel is amazing, insane views from the tents, tents are very nice themselves, staff is nice and friendly... all the good stuff you'll read in all the other reviews is true. The only reason why I'm not giving my rating a full 5/5 was: limited breakfast offering which means if you don't like one of the items you'll be left hungry, lunch and dinner was hit or miss.

Magical
Truly spectacular, this is a one of a kind experience. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main town and nearer the more chilled Las Cabañas and Marimegmeg beaches - this place is an absolute gem. We came for one night but ended up staying for 3! The nests are beautiful, spacious yet cosy, elegant, with the comfiest beds and of course with stunning views. The staff are incredibly helpful (thanks Angel!) Service was excellent, even when 17 of us descended on them for dinner one evening. We had something different for breakfast every morning, each day was better than the next. Great location, with the beach on your doorstep or zip-lining if you’re feeling more adventurous, but if you don’t want to venture out they have created the perfect chill out space filled with books, games and hammocks aplenty. It was great to spend time with Mark (Camille I hope we get to meet you next time!) and to hear about their plans for the future. What a spectacular place you have both created. We can’t wait to visit again.

What an experience! :)
Our visit to El Nido exceeded our expectations, mainly due to our stay at the amazing Birdhouse. The Birdhouse has the best views in El Nido and is designed perfectly to make you feel relaxed and calm. The staff were so friendly and attentive and made us feel so welcomed from the very beginning. The Birdhouse nests are perfect for couples who want amazing views, amazing food and beautiful beaches to make their El Nido experience one of a kind. Thank you for making our time in El Nido so special!
