Happy Hobby BHL is a Bohol-born marketplace. We connect visitors and locals with the island's best small businesses, tours, and experiences, with prices we've checked ourselves.

How we started

Happy Hobby BHL began as a small hobby shop selling Beyblades, trading cards, and collectibles to local players. Hosting tournaments at cafés and shops around Tagbilaran showed us something: Bohol is full of great local businesses that most visitors never find.

Many tourists end up in the same crowded spots, paying more than they should, while family-run restaurants, local guides, and small shops a few minutes away stay quiet.

So we're building the place we wished existed: one website where you can discover Bohol's local businesses, book with them directly, and know what things cost before you go.

What we do

  • We help you book local

    We team up with Bohol businesses such as cafés, car washes, restaurants, shops, and service providers, and feature their offers on our site. When you book through Happy Hobby BHL, you book directly with a local business we know and trust.

  • We help you plan your trip

    Coming to Bohol from abroad? Find tours, day trips, and ready-made itineraries in one place, put together by people who live here. Pick what fits your time and budget and book it before you land.

  • We tell you the real price

    We review prices at the restaurants and services we list, so you know what a meal, a ride, or a tour should cost before you walk in. That way you can choose where to spend and avoid being overcharged.

Checked prices. No surprises.

Trust matters most when you're far from home. Here's how we keep our listings honest.

We check prices in person

We visit our partners and review their menus, rate cards, and tour packages ourselves before anything goes on the site.

We keep them up to date

Prices change, so we review our listings regularly and show when each one was last checked.

We point you beyond the crowds

We highlight quieter, locally run places that give you better value and a more genuine side of Bohol, and help ease the pressure on the island's busiest spots.

We listen when something's off

If a price on our site doesn't match what you were charged, tell us. We'll follow up with the business and update the listing.

For local businesses

  • Your own partner page on happyhobbybhl.com with your offers, photos, map, and contact details
  • Bookings through our site from travelers planning their Bohol trip
  • A spot in our price guide, which tells visitors you charge fair, honest prices
  • Promotion through our events and socials, reaching Bohol's hobby and gaming community
