The Riverhouse

Our stay at The Riverhouse Coron was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness by Judith, the wonderful owner, and her team. The location itself is breathtaking—nestled in nature, offering stunning river and jungle views, far from the tourist crowds. One of the highlights of our stay was our authentic village experience. We had the incredible opportunity to join a local in their daily activities, from fishing in the traditional way to helping build a “bahay kubo” roof with palm leaves. It was a deeply enriching and humbling experience that allowed us to connect with the local culture in a way that few travelers get to. Another unforgettable moment was the private island hopping tour with Judith and June. Unlike the crowded tours in Coron town, this experience was intimate and personalized. We explored pristine islands, swam in crystal-clear waters, and enjoyed a delicious beachside lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients. Judith and June made the experience even more special with their stories, laughter, and deep knowledge of the area. To top it all off, we had a magical fireflies night tour with June. Drifting on a traditional banka along the river in the stillness of the night, surrounded by the glowing fireflies dancing among the mangroves, was truly a breathtaking experience. It felt like a scene from a fairytale—one that we will cherish forever. If you’re looking for an authentic, peaceful, and unique experience in Coron, The Riverhouse is the place to be. It’s not just a stay—it’s an adventure, a cultural immersion, and a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be back!

We loved the peace and quiet and the view was absolutely beautiful. It was a unique experience staying in the middle of the rainforest and river. The staff took care of arranging our tours and was absolutely wonderful at all times, the kindness and warmth the staff provided is unlike anywhere else in the world. The local firefly and island tours were definitely worth it. Packed lunches and towels were also thoughtfully provided. All the meals we had (whether Filipino or international dishes) were SUBERB! We always looked forward to breakfast. Highly recommend for all travelers to get the real experience of nature plus all the amenities of comfort and cleanliness.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The views were incredible, the food was the best we've had in the Philippines and the location was perfect for diving/snorkelling with dugongs. There's a private pier that the dugong operator (dugong dive center) picks you up from. It is out the way from everything else but scooters are cheap to hire (and brought directly to the Riverhouse). If you like wildlife, it's nice for that too. We saw plenty of birds, lizards and a palawan stink badger! Lastly, hot water/pressure was fine. Would highly recommend. I'd love to go back one day.

Judith and her staff are amazing, so helpful and really kind. The hotel is absolutely quiet and in the middle of nowhere, but perfect for a quick stop to recharge after busy travel days. Our room was clean and spacious, a/c worked fine. Wi-fi is only available in the main area but we had stable reception anyway, so that was not a problem. Food was good, many choices also for vegetarians.

The Place is absolutly stunning in the middle of the jungle near by the river. Judith and the Staff are super friendly, welcoming and help you to organize everything. We stayed 4 nights and i would come again for sure! The Organisation with the Dugong Dive Center and the Riverhouse was perfect, they picked us up in the Morning at the River and bring us back in the Evening! One of the most beautiful Stay I ever had. Thanks for Everything.
