Cleanliness is what stood out for me about this place. The staff does a great job keeping it clean. The only downside is hearing the locals by your window (I was on the main floor) which can interrupt your sleep.

We had an enjoyable stay at D'Gecko Hotel. The location was great, and the room was clean and comfortable. Regarding the slippers to be used in the room - we thought this was a good idea to avoid common areas getting sandy/dirty - however we just wish they'd provided larger sizes of slippers!

Very nice
It’s a 3 stars hotel but I like it. Very nice and in good location. Staff also very nice, they looked after me when I fell from the bike and was bleeding. I will surely come back to this place.

Booked a two night stay at D’Gecko from March 5th-7th. Location of the hotel is great and the staff are friendly, but that’s about everything that is good about this hotel. Bed sheets were stained from overuse and so were the towels. The shower was interesting… either freezing cold or scalding hot. Comes out as a drizzle or as a jet depending on how it’s feeling. Would not recommend staying here unless your other option is a hostel. Oh, I guess another pro is that they have a water cooler in the hallway, so I will give them that.

I typically stay in higher end properties, but this is Moalboal- and I wanted to be close to the water in the heart of the action. Deluxe King room is beyond a super value! Staff is sooooo friendly and accommodating. I booked originally for 2 nights- and I have extended it now one night at a time- now here for the 6th night. For the area, there is nothing better and i would definitely recommend it here.

Place was great! A touch of Santorini with beautiful ambience. Safe and secure, and the staff were awesome! I even left my deposit but they found a way to reach me and give me back my money, so kind of them. I definitely recommend this place.

The property was conveniently located along the path next to the beach. Couple of minutes walk to the sardines!
The place was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I would have stayed longer, but it was all booked up.

Good place for a short stay in Moalboal
Was a good and convenient place to stay for a short 3 night stay in Moalboal. Right next to the beach and an easy walk from the main strip.
Water pressure and wifi were a bit of a challenge, but we had excellent service particularly from the night-shift receptionist/hotel manager. He was extremely helpful with all of our concerns and so friendly to us.
