About this place
Tahanan sa Isok: A Boac Hotel That Actually Feels Like Home
The name says it all — Tahanan sa Isok literally translates to "home in the corner," and for the locals who keep recommending it to visitors, that's exactly what it feels like. This small hotel in Boac has quietly built a reputation for being the kind of stay you don't want to leave — and genuinely look forward to coming back to.
A Stay Within Walking Distance
The location checks every box. Walking distance to the town center means the cathedral, the plaza, the museum, and the best of Boac's restaurants are all right there. And it's only about a 30-minute drive from the port — close enough to be convenient, far enough to escape the post-arrival rush.
Rooms, Garden, and a Pool
For a small hotel, Tahanan sa Isok doesn't skimp. Air-conditioned rooms keep the tropical afternoons comfortable, and there's a garden and swimming pool on-site — amenities that feel surprisingly generous for a place this intimate. One local visitor put it plainly: "What we loved most is the swimming pool."
The Warm Welcome That Keeps Guests Coming Back
Reviews tend to say the same thing in slightly different words. "Even though I am from Marinduque, my friends and I found this place home away from home," one guest wrote. Another was even more direct: "It's like coming home when I'm in Boac. I know where I'll stay and the staff are warm and friendly." That kind of quiet, consistent hospitality is what separates a good hotel from one you actually remember.
If you like your stays personal, friendly, and close to everything Boac has to offer, start here.

Great value for money if you’re mainly looking for a place to sleep. The air conditioning is sufficient to cool the room. The hot shower doesn’t always work, and the pillows are quite hard and uncomfortable. You may also be woken up in the morning by people enjoying the pool. That said, we’ve been repeat customers for a long time because the service is excellent and you truly get what you pay for. Its also just walking distance from the town center

The room and bathroom were spacious but the AC wasn't cool enough and the water heater wasn't really heating properly. The water would be warm, not hot. Also, the pillows were so hard you'd rather sleep without it. The facilities need improvement but at least the staff were nice and friendly.
