Eleanor H.
I stayed here in January 2023, and I still think about how kind everyone was. I got food poisoning while I was in El Nido, and the staff noticed when I checked in. They offered straight away to take me to the clinic, checked on me several times, brought me food, and drove me back to the hostel. They didn't ask for anything in return. Traveling solo, I felt really cared for. This was the best hostel experience I've had. Sorry this review took so long, and I highly recommend staying here.

The common area was a highlight, with a ping-pong table and other games, and they even give you free drinks every day from 7-11. The rooms were really nice too, and the staff were great. I don't get why the reviews are so low. This was one of the best hostels I stayed at in the Philippines, better than any other hostel in el nido. I'd absolutely recommend it.

I stayed three nights at this old-school backpacker hostel, with friendly, helpful staff. They arranged my van to Puerto Princesa and Tour A Island Hopping, and you can rent motorbikes next door. Just know it's a party hostel: drunk British guys came noisily back to the dorm every night. Sorry for the stereotype, but it was confirmed again. Bring earplugs, lol. The dorms also don't have much space.

It's only a 3-minute walk to the beach and about a 10-minute ride into the center. The hostel is super social, clean, and has big common areas where you can meet people, play table tennis, or just hang out. Breakfast is free, and they serve free rum and coke every evening. I don't know why it gets bad reviews. I'd stay again.

The hostel was being repaired after a typhoon when I visited, and it was still one of the nicer places I've stayed. The beds were comfortable, and it had AC, hot showers, and a good continental breakfast. The staff were friendly too.
