How to read a travel guide？ Well lets say， read the "about" chapters of the country such as history and cultural introductions plus some of the regions， where you have been traveling？The history and cultural description chapters to the country， in this case The Philippines， do give quite a good understanding in the people and live。 It creates a bigger relation between the traveler and the country he/she is visiting。 Thus it gives a deeper interest and experience throughout the journey I believe。 How to read a travel guide？ Well lets say， read the "about" chapters of the country such as history and cultural introductions plus some of the regions， where you have been traveling？The history and cultural description chapters to the country， in this case The Philippines， do give quite a good understanding in the people and live。 It creates a bigger relation between the traveler and the country he/she is visiting。 Thus it gives a deeper interest and experience throughout the journey I believe。For the particular locations， you should take them as rough guides but not as plan。 Do not follow strictly this book， nor carry it all the time along the way。 Better， find yourself a few ideas and goals， very you are heading to but then， alter your journey on the way and make it your own experience， the book can not give you anyway。 It is important to aim for a goal to make you moving， not to achieve the exact same one。 The book itself， even though very profound， can neither be complete nor up-to-date， even if you purchased the newest edition。 Beware of this and don't start with wrong expectations。Enjoy the Philippines。 * （have been traveling to Palawan and Coron） 。。。more

Amazing guideIt has been an entertaining read， with interesting facts and information。 Would have liked some more pictures， but the wast information about the country， locations and people make up for it。

I used it specifically for my visit to Palawan。 In that regard， it served it's purpose well。 Quite informative for the island of Palawan and the locations I visited。 I can't speak on the rest of the book I used it specifically for my visit to Palawan。 In that regard， it served it's purpose well。 Quite informative for the island of Palawan and the locations I visited。 I can't speak on the rest of the book 。。。more

Whislt the content is as expected， fantastic， I'd never buy again for Kindle。 The inability to flip， highlight， flag， plan and bookmark intuitively made this a pain to work with whilst on the go - especially around so much water。 Whislt the content is as expected， fantastic， I'd never buy again for Kindle。 The inability to flip， highlight， flag， plan and bookmark intuitively made this a pain to work with whilst on the go - especially around so much water。 。。。more

I have not taken my trip yet， but this has been fairly useful for what I need。 We already know which areas relatives will be taking us to， so I was looking for an overview and to get an idea of the attractions/activities in each place。 I read the whole thing for a better idea of the differences between regions。 I think it would still prove overwhelming to try and plan where to go with no prior knowledge， even with this book。 However， for my use， it absolutely meets my needs。

one of the best lonely planet books I have。

The travel section in my local bookshop only had this travel guide for the Philippines。 I have always been a Lonely Planet reader， but I do tend to supplement them with other guides in order to get a comprehensive feel for the places I'm going to visit。 The travel section in my local bookshop only had this travel guide for the Philippines。 I have always been a Lonely Planet reader， but I do tend to supplement them with other guides in order to get a comprehensive feel for the places I'm going to visit。 。。。more

Lonely Planet does a great job of putting together a guide that is both interesting to read and an informative reference。 Before going anywhere， I get one of these。 I've really tried to use and enjoy a travel guide in eBook form。 Unfortunately， it is clumsy and sometimes hard to read in different conditions and use maps。 Plus， with a print guide， when travelling， you can just rip out the pages you need。 Lonely Planet does a great job of putting together a guide that is both interesting to read and an informative reference。 Before going anywhere， I get one of these。 I've really tried to use and enjoy a travel guide in eBook form。 Unfortunately， it is clumsy and sometimes hard to read in different conditions and use maps。 Plus， with a print guide， when travelling， you can just rip out the pages you need。 。。。more

My first Lonely Planet book bought and proprely used。 I'm really satisfied with all the practical info about Southeast Luzon， with my first month here I have used it a lot。 The writing style is also really enjoyable。 Good thing is， that it is 2015 version， even the prices are accurate。 My first Lonely Planet book bought and proprely used。 I'm really satisfied with all the practical info about Southeast Luzon， with my first month here I have used it a lot。 The writing style is also really enjoyable。 Good thing is， that it is 2015 version， even the prices are accurate。 。。。more

Travelling is made safer and easier with this guide book。 I did some travelling in Mindanao without the book and it is not pleasent。

Not very helpful for determining where to go， what to do， or where to stay。 Part of it may be that Philippines is not that exciting （at least the part that I visited - Manila， Dumaguete， and Moalboal were not） - but the descriptions were not detailed enough to know that in advance。 Seems to have been written more from a marketing point of view rather than as a resource for travelers。 Most of the lodging options described were poor （cross reference with Tripadvisor） and descriptions of dive sites Not very helpful for determining where to go， what to do， or where to stay。 Part of it may be that Philippines is not that exciting （at least the part that I visited - Manila， Dumaguete， and Moalboal were not） - but the descriptions were not detailed enough to know that in advance。 Seems to have been written more from a marketing point of view rather than as a resource for travelers。 Most of the lodging options described were poor （cross reference with Tripadvisor） and descriptions of dive sites were lacking and incorrect when provided - not written from the point of view of a well-traveled/experienced diver - sounding more like excerpts from brochures for the dive shops or quotes from dive instructors。 Town described as vibrant and "knows how to be a city" （Dumaguete） was a mostly run down， over-sized village。 The "beach" in Moalboal was a thin strip of sand a 4 mile ride out of town。 Most of the "expats" were old American and European men living with young Philippina girls。 。。。more

Good for what I need， which is to get an idea of the day and weekend excursions I can make before pestering my hotel concierge。 The book seems unedited in some parts， with noticeable gaps and occasionally sentences just ending without an actual conclusion。

Elisse ，

Een beetje gedateerd， sommige plaatsen bestaan niet meer of bevinden zich momenteel op een andere locatie。 Maar erg fijne tips！ Ik gebruikte de Lonely Planet tijdens mijn reis van twee maanden in de Filipijnen， in combinatie met tips op TripAdvisor， en ik werd niet teleurgesteld。 Leuke adresjes en een bom aan informatie。

Alex Timberman ，

The book is really useful。 I didn't trust it at first because I figured there are too many good places for me to discover on my own that would be as good as the recommended places。 But as I discovered the best places to shop， see， and eat， they were all places recommended in the book。 A lot of research and expertise and love of the Philippines went into this book and I hope other Lonely Planet books are just as good because I plan on using them again。 The book is really useful。 I didn't trust it at first because I figured there are too many good places for me to discover on my own that would be as good as the recommended places。 But as I discovered the best places to shop， see， and eat， they were all places recommended in the book。 A lot of research and expertise and love of the Philippines went into this book and I hope other Lonely Planet books are just as good because I plan on using them again。 。。。more

Always a fan of Lonely Planet， and I made no exception with this one。 You can't help noticing how meticulous their research has been done。The only thing I disagree is that they didn't include the otherworldly Batanes under Top 15 experience。 IMHO， that's the best place In Philippines I've been。 But then that's more of a personal opinion， and I highly recommend this book nonetheless。 Always a fan of Lonely Planet， and I made no exception with this one。 You can't help noticing how meticulous their research has been done。The only thing I disagree is that they didn't include the otherworldly Batanes under Top 15 experience。 IMHO， that's the best place In Philippines I've been。 But then that's more of a personal opinion， and I highly recommend this book nonetheless。 。。。more

An OK guide， but sometimes rather outdated （even for a 2012 guide）。 I found the rather short chapter on Palawan especially disappointing。 It is good for identifying sights and islands to visit， but for in-depth information you should pack Jens Peters's Philippine Travel Handbook as well。 An OK guide， but sometimes rather outdated （even for a 2012 guide）。 I found the rather short chapter on Palawan especially disappointing。 It is good for identifying sights and islands to visit， but for in-depth information you should pack Jens Peters's Philippine Travel Handbook as well。 。。。more

Really useful way to navigate the maze that is trying to travel the Philippines on public transport， great recommendations for accommodation and ideas to try out。 Would recommend booking in advance if travelling over the Chinese New Year， finding accommodation is crazy！

Erin ，

very， very detailed explanations of excursions， restaurants， culture， and more。 we were there visiting relatives， and they were all very surprised/impressed with how much i knew about the country。 :）

Katherine ，

I wasn't expecting a lot of good points from reading this and I was right。It missed some of the best highlights and places in the Philippines。The fatalistic attitude is a facade。 Sadly， the author gave much emphasis on this。 I wonder if he just googled things and came up with a book。 Most Filipinos are hardworking and more prepared than people think。 I wasn't expecting a lot of good points from reading this and I was right。It missed some of the best highlights and places in the Philippines。The fatalistic attitude is a facade。 Sadly， the author gave much emphasis on this。 I wonder if he just googled things and came up with a book。 Most Filipinos are hardworking and more prepared than people think。 。。。more

I always like reading books about my country so I can see the perspective of the Philippines from someone who did not grow up there。 I have to say it is enjoyable to know what people think of our country and sometimes what they say about the Philippines is very flattering。 This book is accurate （mostly） and is very knowledgable， even to someone who lived there。 It is also very useful if you are planning a trip there

Roberto ，

Good guide， but could be improved in some of the details。 Eagerly waiting for the new edition to come out！

Cori ，

Loved how this book went into the history and culture of the places， not just the hot destinations。 Made me excited to travel there， and I don’t think I’ll rush back！ I think this book served well as a preplanner。 I checked it out of the library， so I am not taking it with me which I think suits it fine。 Not a lot of ‘in the moment’ help on language， etc。 There is an option to download by chapter for the e-book which I might do。Enjoyed the local histories as well。 Since I am going to a part of t Loved how this book went into the history and culture of the places， not just the hot destinations。 Made me excited to travel there， and I don’t think I’ll rush back！ I think this book served well as a preplanner。 I checked it out of the library， so I am not taking it with me which I think suits it fine。 Not a lot of ‘in the moment’ help on language， etc。 There is an option to download by chapter for the e-book which I might do。Enjoyed the local histories as well。 Since I am going to a part of the country that has had some conflict， I was relieved to see the city I will be in noted as safe！ And its by some awesome stuff… Can’t wait to go！ 。。。more

This volume was not as well laid out as other Lonely Planets。 As an example， the language section didn't have a simple page listing common niceties， like 'please' and 'thank you。' I'm not including accuracy of information in my rating because I used an outdated edition， so very few of the places we visited were included。 This volume was not as well laid out as other Lonely Planets。 As an example， the language section didn't have a simple page listing common niceties， like 'please' and 'thank you。' I'm not including accuracy of information in my rating because I used an outdated edition， so very few of the places we visited were included。 。。。more

Notre guide pour nos trois années dans ce pays plein de contrastes。

Headed to Manila， El Nido， and Boracay this January。 This book was essential to build the perfect travel itinerary。

Nu ，

Comprehensive information， but too much for tourists who want to spend a week in the Philippines。
