Reviews of Balai Vivencio Hostel

Excellent hosts in a very charming property. It’s great for a stopover for a flight and has everything you need to be comfortable.

Just a warning that the single room is very small, so if you have a lot of luggage it might not be appropriate. The bed also wasn’t the comfiest.

Comfy and clean

The hostel is really good. The staff is so nice and the location is near to the center. The room was a little small but it’s okay for only sleeping.

Lovely little hostel that is super clean and in a great location! I would definitely recommend it and had a fantastic stay here.

At first, we chose to stay here because of its proximity to the airport, but it ended up far exceeding our expectations! We booked the smallest room, so its size didn’t come as a surprise—in fact, everything matched the description and photos in the listing. It was more than enough for a one-night stay. As for the property itself, it was incredibly clean and well organized. We were able to use the common area to work on our laptops and take advantage of the excellent Wi-Fi. Drinking water, dishes, and a refrigerator are also available for guests. But what truly stood out during our stay was the care, kindness, attentiveness, and attention to detail shown by Christine and her team. They genuinely think of everything—not only providing helpful information about the city, activities, and recommendations, but even informing guests about the occasional power outages in the area (which, fortunately, we didn’t experience). If we ever return to Puerto Princesa, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Maraming salamat po!

Property was in a good location! Extremely clean! The owner Cristine is so friendly & kind! All the staff were fantastic!

Very clean. The staff was soooo accommodating and helpful. Bang for your buck. Very good for quality backpacker's budget.

We stopped here one night before our flight and for the price it was amazing value for money! It is located near the airport and conveniently also plenty of other sites in Puerto Princesa. Finally the host was so welcoming and friendly!

Lovely accommodation, it looked beautiful and clean we had enough space, aircon was working just fine

Only thing I can recommend is to use less softener the smell was very strong.

It is like a house, very clean and silent. The internet works very well - finally a working internet. And well done keeping the place very very very clean.

All was very nice.
