-good location, 2 mins walk to the beach with an amazing sunset view -bedsheets smelled really nice -convient to book tours and transportation -free happy hour for all guests -hate seeing birds in cages, but I have to admit the sound of the indoors birds are extra special

-sink was leaking -wish there would be at least two options for breakfast. A simple oatmeal bowl with fruits would be a nice option. But overall it’s a nice place, would stay again.

The room and bathroom was clean. They provided fresh water for brushing teethsand washing your face as El Nido had problems with the water. You'll have a AC and lockers in the dorms. The included breakfast was really good and the stuff very helpful. I also liked the common area where the people came together in the evening to have a drink and good conversations. The hostel is a bit out of the main town, but still enough restaurants, shops etc. around to have a good time!

For me personally the cage with the birds wasn't nice, but maybe some people like to watch them...

Good location - out of the centre of El Nido which gets so loud at night. The hostel was great and has free rum and coke and gin and this peach drink thing 7-10/11pm. Also when the atmosphere gets going they pass around free shots. Could easily extend stay for more nights and the WI-FI was good! This was a HUGE bonus!

Breakfast could ideally be a little nicer but not the end of the world! It includes two slices of bread a fried egg and banana - like i said its ok

Everywhere was always kept clean and tidy. small individual safes in rooms to keep valuables. free unlimited rum + coke daily from 7-11pm! Meant it was very sociable and games etc were played. Staff were also lovely, laundry service available. Staff also helpful when i got sick with food poisoning and had medicine to hand. It’s about 5 mins on a trike into the main el nido, but there is a beach just behind hostel which is actually nicer than el nido beach and also shops/restaurants around so not much need to go into el nido much!

nothing! all good!

love at first sight. The main lobby of the hostel, the room was so cozy and the breakfast so warm. I really liked the staff's team and the hostel was front of the main road crossing the island. With many stores and restaurants around. Cold beer and a nice second floor balcony to have fun. Did I told about a parakeet aviary in the middle of the hostel?

no complains

As a party hostel, they offer free drinks from 7pm to 11pm. Staff were friendly. 15 min walk from el nido terminal but 35 min walk to ferry port, however you can ride a tricycle for only 100psp . Atmosphere were nice

Breakfast could’ve been better. Like more fruit or veggies. It was simply 2 toast half banana and a fried egg.

Great hostel! Really social and great place to meet other backpackers, especially at happy hour! But is also nice and quiet in the rooms to chill out/sleep if you want. Really helpful staff to organise boat tours around El Nido and ferry transport to Coron!

We stayed for 3 nights and I would have liked the option to change my towel for a fresh towel for the shower

beds are comfy and the room has ac. showers were warm. the free drinks from 7-11 was great, still can't beleive they do it for 4 hours. that alone made me stay. free water is nice. table tennis table was a nice touch. and the card games and jenga are cool

its a bit far from everything. quite pricey for a dorm. breakfast is really tiny. no lockers big enough to store your bags safely anywhere. so peoples bags are all over the floor in the room. also curtains on bed are see through so no privacy.
