Long way from public transport.

Good for the price of a 4 bedroom dorm for solo travelers. Food not bad either. Stayed only one night. Having public transport the 8km from town would be more worth going. It's almost 2 hour walk from Jeepney turnaround. Bathroom shared outside. Hammock and yoga chill out area. They rent out snorkel. No beach, just rocky shore to start a snorkel or swim people go there to learn freedive. Fan only. Has drinking water.

I like how they don't room you with other people if they have space to do so. The staff were friendly. The comfort rooms were clean. They have amazing and affordable vegan meals!

No shuttle service which was advertised on the booking profile, however the staff were quick to advise of the best way to get there without a vehicle.

Super nice hostel nestled in a mini paradise setting - the hammocks amongst the trees and little critters chirping away. Great place to hang out, chill and find some peace and quiet. If you're not diving there's not much to do but it's a charming little spot. The staff were really lovely and helpful, the food was yummy and the water refills etc were great. The resident rooster does like to make a lot of noise so if you're a light sleeper you might wake up a few times through the night! Loved my stay here, thanks Rustique Rue & Co! Bonus tip - bring bug spray!!

Showers and toilets could use a bit of extra cleaning.

A wonderful place, located very close to the sea where the coral is amazing. Friendly staff, delicious food, and excellent coffee. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!

The yard needs some TLC.

I love the dorm rooms- it’s made out of bamboo, there’s good ventilation, affordable, it’s quiet, you have the view of the sea, the staff are helpful, food from their kitchen is delicious and there’s scuba & freediving places in walking distance. I got no regrets booking here. Thank you Dulce, Romnik & Jeff!

Not all CRs have supply of toilet paper. Low water pressure in shower.

RR is our go-to place when we want to freedive in Batangas. Value for money, the friendliest staff and excellent service. Great thing also that they've added vegetarian food options at a very reasonable price. You can also rent freediving gears from them.

Some CR doors with no casing for privacy. 😅 Good thing there's a lot more to choose from.

The place. It's vibe. The staffs. The Food. The shared common areas. The movie watching in the night. The accessibility to the shore and some place nearby. The view in the Davao Norte balcony. The provision for washing clothes 😂

A bit far

Clean, simple, and rustic. Not your typical accomodation/hostel

Electricity was not working when i arrived - probably not the fault of the staff - likely a city thing. It was a weekday night and there was a group of loud people partying until 3am. I were earplugs and was still awakened by their talking. That’s the risk you run at hostels - inconsiderate people - not to the fault of the staff because it is a “rule”, but it’s always unfortunate when guests have to be the enforcers. Mosquitos are bad between 16:00-20:00.

Very friendly staff. Amazing bamboo structures. Cool tire furniture. Nice size rooms equipped with fans. Far from town but close to very cool diving spots. Chill, cool vibe and decor. The community hammocks were delightful.

The property is almost all made of bamboo and recycled stuff, so it has a really authentic vibe and is really tastefully made. It has everything you need for a comfort stay, even a small exercise corner. Of course don’t expect high end luxury, but for the price it’s a well worth it. As a budget traveler this place is a real breath of fresh air compared to the ridiculously high prices of accommodation everywhere around the island. The staff is super friendly and really makes you feel at home. The nature around is beautiful and for diving is absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend.
