The staff were lovely, breakfast was good, and the room was great, though it leaked after a heavy downpour. One serious hassle: this place is NOT DOT accredited. At the port I had to book a DOT-accredited hotel there, or they wouldn’t let me board the boat. I hope the hotel gets accredited soon so guests can avoid the scramble and last-minute booking. It’s within walking distance of the beach, with a laundry service next door and a convenience store 200 meters away. The staff deserve credit for how they handled things. To make up for the last-minute booking, they gave us dinner and a transfer to the port for free.

Everything was a 10 for us. The beach is just five minutes away, the staff were always friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and modern, with a good layout and air conditioning in each one. Breakfast was included and very good too. We’d stay at this hostel again and recommend it to backpackers. Most of the hotels here are worse.

The staff are the hotel’s biggest strength, very professional throughout. I liked the bed and pillows because they felt as good as the ones at home. It isn’t a five-star hotel, but it feels like home. An e-tricycle can get you around easily, and the beach is a five-minute walk away.

I’d give this place six stars if I could. It was amazing value, and the staff were friendly and helpful at any hour. Breakfast was included, with about seven choices, and everything I tried was delicious. The chefs were fantastic too. I ate there almost every day because it was honestly one of the best places to eat in Boracay. The rooms were good and clean, and the showers were amazing. I’m so happy I chose this place and would definitely recommend it.
