This is a beautiful new accommodation just a 5/10 min tuk tuk from the main hustle bustle of el nido, so ideal to escape the chaos of the main town. The accommodation itself is really beautiful and you couldn't get any better staff looking after you. The shower facilities are the best I've experienced in the Philippines. If I'm ever back in el nido this is the only place for me to stay

Best hostel in El Nido In particular - thank you to the team for trusting/helping us when we felt uncomfortable due to a creepy guy. Long story short he’d made a few girls feel very uncomfortable anyway, then he crossed a line in our shared dorm. Told the hostel manager who immediately changed our room, spoke to the guy and I think banned him from the bar for the rest of the night and didn’t let him rebook another night after his planned checkout the next day. There are also QR codes everywhere that you can scan to message staff at any point if you need help or have a question. Manager kept checking in with us throughout the rest of our stay to make sure we were okay. Staff went out of there way to ensure people didn’t lose things and would do their best to ensure they were returned by checking cctv etc Defo best service we saw in the Philippines - they even take your bags up the steps for you! Amazing after a long journey. We did tour a through them which was stunning and the stops were better than any of our coron/expedition tours Sunset view from rooftop bar too. Overall, it’s a sociable, comfy and clean hostel in a great location with staff who go above and beyond for their guests. Glad we stayed here.

My fair experience of this hostel is that it's very nicely located with a heavenly view of the sea, mountains and the waves right under the balcony. The view is perfect. The people working there are kind, friendly and generous as I got a free ride to the airport. There's an atmosphere there where everyone staying there is humble, polite and nice to each other. The hostel is clean as guests do their part to keep it clean. I felt happy there. I strongly and totally recommend this hostel.

Wow what an incredible hostel and staff! Dorms were clean, cool, spacious, comfortable beds and beautiful view overlooking the beach! Downstairs delicious Mexican food, kind and helpful staff. Book your full stay because if you like the hostel and want to extend (as most of us did) it could be a little problem, because its a small hostel and they are almost fully booked all the time! I wish this hostel success, and to attracts amazing travellers! Its a great place to connect :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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

The hostel is very clean and modern. The staff is really great and helpful. The breakfast is very good, and the restaurant in the youth hostel offers really delicious dishes for cheap. The hostel is located just a two-minute walk from the city centre. I recommend, I had a very pleasant stay there👍👌

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!
