The road to the hostel is very bumpy and flooded when it rains (consider if you drive a bike)

Had a nice stay for 3 nights in GL. Dorm was clean and comfy. Good location near restaurants and bars but away from the noise! The staff is very kind and I loved the family dinner.

I did love my stay here, if there are anything to comment about it would be the AC in the private room. It was super load so I couldnt sleep with it on. And as in many places in the Pilippinnes, I noticed, the room was pretty humid which made it "smell humid" as well. But it was just small things... everything else made up for it ;)

Loved my stay at this hostel, I had a private room, private bathroom and the room even had a small kitchen with burners and a fridge which is very convenient if you want to stay in. However, I cooked my food in the communal kitchen because it was more social. It is a very social hostel with great communal areas. The staff encourage people to socialize which is very nice if you are a solo traveller. They had one family dinner when the prepared food for everyone in the hostel + plus if you wanted to bring friends, all free of charge. And, even prepared food for two more nights after that for everyone to eat.

Only one bathroom/ shower in the shared dorm which is a bit annoying but overall would HIGHLY recommend

The staff here are incredible. They will make you feel like family in Siargao. Maybe the best hostel I have stayed in in the Philippines. A social hostel but not a party hostel which was perfect for me. The family dinners were always delicious. Comfy beds, good AC, a kitchen & fridge to use. I would book again for sure!

The road to the hostel is a bit rocky and muddy, it will flood sometimes so when you want to go for a walk you need to go through water some days. The shower is in the middle of the bathroom so that stays wet too, something to dry it would be nice. Just a few small things though, I was sad that I had to leave and would definitely come back!

The girls working in the hostel are the sweetest, they make you feel so welcome! Also the hostel dogs are amazing, will miss them all. Overall I really loved my stay here. The private room is nice and spacious, location is a bit of the main road so quiet but still near the main restaurants etc. There is a kitchen and fridge!

Their showers was not as enjoyable, bad pressure, kind of dirty and bad drain. No where to like hang the towel or your clothes, but you made it work. Also no batroom rugs so the floor outside often got wet. And even if people left their shoes outside it got real sandy on the floors, and they did not tidy every day.

I liked that they had big lockers and curtains in the bed. They also had a lovely common area with good seating. You havd acess to a kitchen and they do family dinner which is so nice!

- the bamboo makes everything a bit dirty in the room, the staff tries to take care of it (they really do their best) but the dust is just everywhere… - the road to the main street is a bit rough (especially after rain)

- the rooms are very comfortable - we got offered 2 times in one week dinner for free- and it was so delicious!! - the staff is great - the dogs are just amazing - social area is good

It would be great if the shower head inside the bathroom could be fixed for a more comfortable experience. Additionally, addressing the flooding issue during rain, which causes the toilet to clog, would be highly beneficial. Lastly, managing the pests, such as rats running around the room, would significantly improve the overall stay.

The people staying at the hostel create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and I especially appreciate the hospitality of the staff. The family dinner is a wonderful touch that enhances the sense of community and connection among guests.

Nothing

The staff is super friendly and made me feel at home. The location is good, 10 minute walk to all the restaurants and bars in General Luna. Beds have curtains, light and a power outlet. AC works perfect. And ofcourse I fell in love with the hostel dog Bonana!

The power of the shower but I think this is a common problem also for other hostels in the island The beds being made of bamboo produce a lot of dust

The staff is the best part of it all, helpful, friendly and they make you feel like family. The hostel is less than ten minutes walk from the main street with restaurants and shops. The beds are comfortable and spacious

Staff are friendly and professional. The keep the common areas clean, are easy to talk to and provide free dinner on Sunday and Wednesday, which creates a very homely atmosphere. Shoutout to Maruki for being so helpful and hospitable.

Value for money (private room), common area is nothing special

Good location, nice staff

Stayed in May 2025

The only thing i would say is that the water in the bathroom sometimes had a bit o a weird smell.

The staff was extremly friendly ( especially our friend Maruki ) and we really felt welcome because you would meet a lot of nice and open people in the common room so we really enjoyed our week there. Also the familly dinners on wednesdays and sundays were are were surprising and welcome edition.

I loved to stay there, its the best hostel Ive been to that far. Everyone sooo friendly and try to make everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The people are amazing and they even have a family dinner twice a week completly free!!! I wish I knew it will be so good before, so I could extend for more!

The toilet in my dorm room clogged somewhat frequently, but this is not highly unusual considering local plumbing.

My first night, the staff cooked up a traditional Filipino meal to share with all of the guests. The staff was all very friendly and lovely to talk to.

We cannot recommend the Yellow Banana enough! It was our first time in Siargao and we were looking for something homey and comfy, with a good location close to the center of town. This place immediately felt like home. The staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome - they really treat you like family! They even helped us when we weren’t feeling well and needed some supplies when shops close by were closed after hours, heading out to get us what we needed by scooter! Bonus points: the staff often cook dinner for everyone, and all the people we met there were friendly and sociable. You can also rent scooters for a great price directly at the property. All in all, we definitely hope we‘ll be back - thank you for wonderful memories!

I really enjoyed my stay at Yellow Banana! The hostel is newly renovated and beautifully furnished. The staff here is lovely and very helpful, I felt warmly welcomed here. The hostel is located in a nice and quiet area, but just around the corner from all the bars and restaurants in General Luna. I would definitely recommed staying here.
