When I was in Cebu last year I overheard many people talking about the Kiwilodge. Having grown up in NZ the temptation was too great to not visit this month. Well I'm glad I did. Rather than repeat what Darryl has written in a previous review to which I wholeheartedly agree, I'll add to his comments... Having worked extensively in... More

My wife and I arrived in Cebu in mid January and checked in to the Kiwi Lodge, having no previous knowledge of the hotel. We were both pleasantly surprised. The rooms were good and the staff were very friendly, offering good service. The menu was not extensive but the quality was good and reasonably priced. We were due to spend... More

When you look for a hotel in Cebu, these are reasons why to choose the "Kiwi Lodge Hotel": - They check the e-mail with your request for reservation several times a day, so you have a fast answer. - Every taxi driver knows the place (i have been there serveral times, all knew it). - Only a taxe drive of...

I am also an American and have stayed at Kiwi four times over the past year (last week being the most recent). As stated by other reviewers, the rooms are adequate, with 210 in particular being excellent. Thee are two aspects of Kiwi Lodge that separate it from just about everywhere else in Cebu. 1) The staff. Anyone familiar with... More

I AM AN AMERICAN! My wife and I have stayed at the Kiwi Lodge at least once each month for the past 6 years. The rooms are more than adequate. The food is above average with MANY choices depending on your preference. They offer a well stocked bar with a wide range of options. The biggest selling point is the... More

I spent a few days here, and several times I overheard management and staff bad mouthing Americans. Everyone else seems welcomed, but if you are American you might want to choose a different place. Average hotel. Mediocre food, but the service ranged from OK to very bad. The waitresses just seem annoyed to see customers.

I am just now about to leave the restaurant at Kiwi Lodge. This will certainly be my last experience here. The food is terrible. They used instant mashed potatoes instead of real ones. The service is terrible. The waitresses have zero desire to help customers and visibly roll their eyes when you try to catch their attention, or just ignore... More

Three years after my last visit, we stayed overnight at Kiwilodge Hotel in Cebu City in January 2013. Rooms are clean and average with notable lack of shower curtain because of having slip-proof tiles. At 10am the bar already had nine expat boozing customers. Restaurant has fewer choices now and quality is slightly lower (using instant mashed potatoes, slightly too... More

If you are Kiwi, Brit, Oz then this is THE place for you - others may also enjoy their stay :-) The owner Dick Dunlop, his wife and his properly trained staff understand pub ethos. Great prices, great food, iced beer, room service, 24/7 in room Wi-Fi and mile wide smiles - who needs Heaven ? We have had extended... More
