Perfect budget accommodation! everything was new, it was very clean when we arrived, and it had everything we needed. Town it is the town but i do recommend getting your own motorbike since it is down nasigdan road. The host was the best! she accommodated me with everything i needed and was very welcoming. Definitely recommend this!

The property is in a great location, close to lots of bars, and restaurants. But if you decide to eat at their restaurant, you’re in for a treat, as there are lots of food choices to match anyone’s pallet. The highlight of the property is definitely the staff, they are kind, positive and helpful. Big shout out to Marco, JD, Andrew and Elaine.!! Wonderful positive energy.

I spent a night in a room for one person. It was clean and it had everything one could need for an overnight stay and beyond! The bed was so comfortable (I slept like a baby) and the breakfast was also very good. I will definitely come here again if I come back to El Nido.

I absolutely love the vibes at this hostel! The staff, volunteers, and local rasta crew are all so friendly and welcoming it really feels like everyone is part of one big family. The location by the beach is so peaceful, and the rooms are very clean and quiet, perfect for resting. The whole place is well-maintained, which makes it even more relaxing. The bar has such a chill atmosphere you can feel the sea breeze while lounging in the cargo net, or enjoy a game of skateboard, ping pong, pool, and of course my favorite… beer pong! There’s always something fun to do, but also plenty of space to just unwind. Overall, the hostel has such a homely paradise vibe. I only wish I had more time to stay longer, but I’ll definitely be coming back and next time I’m bringing friends!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

One of the best hostel I've been to so far. Located a little outside El Nido, the place is quiet at night. Great vibe and music until 8-9pm. Good value for money. The facilities are very good, first time I see bunk beds with double sized mattresses. Everything has been well thought about. The building itself is very cool and the space invites to chill. Breakfast is amazing, with omelet station and plenty of food. Staff is super nice.

Probably the best hostel I stayed in, very private place to sleep (with the door and the shelves and private fan and light and pretty spacious). Great location, very friendly staff, water and snacks for free. It was a great experience!
