Bohol is fairly safe. You can go anywhere with a peace of mind. Although it’s rural, there are places that are relatively lively at night. I would say scams and overcharging visitors are the main concern. It’s a worry that there’s many cases where visitors get ripped off. So just watch out for them. Locals are nice and friendly.

Bohol, an idyllic province located in the Central Visayas region, is one of the most captivating destinations in the Philippines. Noted for its remarkable natural beauty, pristine beaches and rich cultural heritage, Bohol is home to the surreal Chocolate Hills, a geographical marvel of over 1,200 uniformly shaped hills that turn brown in the dry season, giving them their name. It's also home to the world's smallest primate, the Philippine tarsier, and the tranquil Loboc River. One can explore the mesmerizing underwater world through diving and snorkeling, visit centuries-old churches in Baclayon and Loboc, or simply bask in the tranquil settings of Panglao Island's white sandy beaches. Bohol is a perfect blend of nature and history, making it a unique and unforgettable travel destination.

I travelled solo to Bohol and hands down, it was one of the best experiences. The locals are very hospitable and when they have known that I travelled solo, they connect me to people that can help me travel. The food is really tasty. However, Alona, Panglao can be a bit pricey.
