Fantastic 5.0
I would like to commend on how organized this tour had been from the very start. From the email confirmation from the operator when I booked, the reminder and detailed itinerary sent via txt few days before the tour date and the flow of the tour itself. Our driver/guide Kuya Tata just made it extra by being so prompt, knowledgeable and made sure we were safe and able to enjoy the places in the itinerary fully. We truly appreciate that. This tour highlights plenty of important and famous places in Davao City. Highly recommended!

Kuya Tins helped us a lot and definetly gave us the best assistance for us to enjoy our trip. He gave also bits of trivia about the city while we travel from one site to another. The itinerary was not hectic, so we really enjoyed each site.

• The driver was kind, very considerate, and supportive in taking our pictures. • He drove well. • The travel agency informed and updated us before the tour day. • They provided options to enhance our experience, such as with Sonnenberg; our original booking was for 8 AM, but they suggested 4:30 AM so we could see the sea of clouds, and we loved it. • Overall, we were satisfied with our tour yesterday.

transport access: Good. Near malls, the airport, and easy to locate. cleanliness: Spotless bedroom. Very clean linens and quality sheets breakfast: Good buffet selection with both Filipino and Western options service: Fastest check-in and check-out we every experienced in all hotels we tried so far. Nice staff and they even treated me with a complimentary cake for my birthday. I couldn’t believe how good it was, usually I don’t like free cakes but surprised we honestly enjoyed it.😁Thank you

My stay in this hotel is good. They provided the basic necessities, good bed, good sheets and linens, basic toiletries. They also provides glass and water dispenser outside the room. aside from that, it is conveniently located near Mcdonalds and Jollibee, watson’s, mercury drugs. Some problems encountered were only 1 elevator is functioning, and its a bit slow. bath towels were really old, easily damaged and were darkened in color.

I am giving this review 5 stars because the kind staff allowed me to stay in my room ahead of time. The location is quite good as it is walking distance to several restaurants, including SM Lanang if you enjoy walking, like me. Please take the next part of this review constructively. The room needs some improvement: outlets by the bed are not working, the window in the comfort room is stuck and cannot be closed entirely so you hear the noise of the aircon compressor the entire time and a lot of insects also use the opening as entry way. The photos attached here are some places I visited as I did not take any picture of the room. Thank you!

What to know before visiting Davao

Discover Davao’s laid-back outdoor highlights

Davao’s Klook bookings are led by water activities and guided tours, so the city suits travellers who love beaches, island hopping and nature-focused experiences. Demand has a clear annual rhythm, with bookings building toward a pronounced peak in September and easing to a low point in March.

Best months to visit for price and crowd trade-offs

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is typically September while bookings dip to their lowest around March. Prices are relatively steady through the year but tend to be lowest around July and reach their highest around January in past Klook data. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, consider travelling in March or July; for the peak-season atmosphere, aim for September when demand is highest. Overall, prices and demand mostly move together here — higher demand months usually see slightly higher prices.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most Davao experiences can be booked close to departure: Klook’s aggregated data shows travellers often book around four days ahead, with many last-minute bookings within a couple of days and early planners booking around eleven days out. If you’re flexible, you can often decide a few days before and still find options; if you’re travelling in September, consider locking in popular water activities or tours a bit earlier to secure your preferred time. Use Klook to compare availability and snag experiences that match your schedule.
