The staff were not friendly at all and made you feel as though you were putting them out when checking in, asking questions ect. Walls were very thin could hear everything going on next door.

It was pretty good value for money. About a 10 minute walk into the centre of town.

Bathroom

A cool service.

The sheets on the bed were smelly and had not been washed. The drawers under the beds are not big enough for backpacks, so everyone's stuff is blocking the floor. There was one toilet for 16 people in the room, with no running water, not clean. The showers were the worst. Dirty concrete with a door that couldn't close, not one hook or shelf to put your towel or stuff.

The dorm was nice and cold at night.

The bed was uncomfortable. Tiny bathroom/shower.

Friendly staff. Good Common area. Affordable breakfast. Free coffee

Stayed in January 2025

Environment so-so.. Some mosquitos. Limited food possibilities (but at least something).

Possibly value for money. Staff organizes small parties.

I was disappointed. I booked standard double room but when we arrived at property they accommodated standard triple room. The food is cheap. if you are maarti di ka pwede dito. hehehe the water smell stain. and the room and toilet need to renovation and maintenance. little bit far from the beach but you can walk for 30min.

The staff are approachable. They can offer and suggest what the activity and where the place you can enjoy. Budget friendly. The WIFI connection is good.

They dont let you use the aircon if youre not more than 5 people in the room, and I was dying at night with the heat I mean the fans werent enough I couldnt sleep. Other than that nothing

The staff is great and they are nice and friendly and the comun area of the hostal is also very nice and equiped, the rooms theyre ok for the price

Bathroom was not cleaned every day and almost always looked dirty. One night there was a small cockroach in the bathroom. There is no wifi or cell signal in the dorm, but if you sit outside in the evening to use the internet you get eaten alive by mosquitoes (it's a tropical island so you can't avoid them). There is air conditioning in the dorm but they don't turn it on unless there are at least 5 people in the room... when I stayed there were only 3-4 of us so we didn't get to use it (although it was mostly ok with just the fans). No outlets/sockets by the beds and no privacy curtains on the beds. No lockers. No free drinking water available (which most hostels in the Philippines do provide). I felt a bit pressured to book a tour through them a few times, and when I initially said I wasn't planning on doing a tour because it was too expensive for me, the guy just glared at me with some hostility and stopped talking to me. The way to the hostel is very dark if you walk back at night, at times you may need to use your phone flashlight to see where you're going. While it seemed like a perfectly safe area overall, it always feels a bit sketchy when you're walking somewhere completely dark on your own at night, especially if you're a woman. One morning we woke up and had no electricity (which meant no fans) or running water, although they fixed it within an hour. For the price you can't really complain, but it wasn't the most comfortable stay overall.

Social atmosphere, easy to meet people. There's a big common area upstairs that you can hang out in. The ladies working there are very nice. Location is okay, it's not in the town center but just a short walk away and there are a few small shops and restaurants nearby. You can book your island-hopping tour through the hostel for the same price as in town plus they give you free breakfast (omelette and toast with butter) the day of the tour if you booked through them. Wifi worked well in the reception and common areas. No mosquitoes inside the dorm. Great price for El Nido.

Empty hostel. Room was really horrible. No shower only a shower head to attach to the sink. Far from town.

Nothing. The room was awful we checked out straight away. It’s the only time we’ve done this in a 3 month trip.

Stayed in June 2025

They gave our room to somebody else and put us in a different room which was disgusting! There were cockroaches, slugs, and all sorts of bugs everywhere in our room. On a map it shows the names of our room and ours was called “the isolation room” the wifi also didn’t work in the room we have to walk outside for it to work. The staff wasn’t very friendly either. But it is the cheapest place on the island so it makes sense

Stayed in May 2025

Just left the room in the middle of the night, couldn’t find the sleep. Not only the dormitory is too expensif for the quality, but even without that : - very very very bad mattress (slept in much better bed for cheapper in Philippines) - not enough room in the dormitory to put the backpack - bed bugs (still itchy the day after, several bites) - bathroum unsanitary and extremely dirty - very dirty dormitary If you don’t mind that : the vibes seemed cool and the staff nice.

After 8 months travelling I can say this was THE WORST HOSTEL where I have never been. Everything was broken and dirty! But really everything! During hours the water was not working. They told us, that the tank was finished, but the next day in the morning it was not working again! If you have a hostel with a lot of people... How is it possible that you let your tank finish 2 times in a while? The wifi was working only in the Reception. Also: not wifi in the rooms. The rooms, the toilets, the showers... Everything dirty. There were cockroaches in the showers. The drain wouldn't empty and it was disgusting because a puddle of hair and dirt would quickly form on the floor. Horrible

Stayed in May 2025

From 22 pm to 9 am , NO water everywhere in the place.

Not recommend at all

So silly that i booked before 2 days ago, and i even paid online. Suddenly, when i reached there, they told me that it s full. They moved me to another hostel that didn't even find what i booked

Stayed in April 2025

They don’t tell you on there ad that the pool is empty, there is only cold showers and they emailed after it was booked and paid for to say we needed to use a bucket to bathe with… we got to our room and the bucket in our room had sludge in the bottom of it, the shower wasn’t any more than a trickle, they make it look better in the photo’s than what it is. Good enough for someone on a serious budget but still to expensive for what we got.

The staff were lovely

Stayed in March 2025

Place needs a lot of maintenance and the WiFi was not available in the room. Had to go to a common area.

Great atmosphere and really nice staff

Stayed in February 2025

The bathroom was dirty, and honestly, I booked this place only because nothing else was available, wasn’t even that cheap. I with they will learn how to do tourism business, because that place is a mess,

The staff was nice, they came to pick me up in the center when I arrived, very gentle and welcoming

Stayed in February 2025

Staff were only moderately helpful. The rooms/ beds were average. The toilets were disgusting. The cleanliness was 0.

The travellers staying there were lovely. They had karoke every day. It felt welcoming.
