Great location, modern facilities, and awesome social vibe with the bar onsite. Staff are welcoming and also very helpful arranging transport on your behalf, as well as activities (e.g. canyoneering, scooters) as well as providing other local recommendations.

Unfortunately at the monent there are roosters/chickens next door that make quite a lot of noise in the middle of the night and can keep you awake or wake you up if you're staying the bamboo huts. In fairness this is probably outside the control of the owners as the noise is coming from the neighbouring property.

The hut is really nice and rustic. It feels like a cozy cocoon. The small bathroom is quite practical given how simple the hut is. I could really relax. The bed was comfortable. It had a plug right next to the bed. The AC was not too loud (although I did not use it a lot or during the night). The staff was helpful and the breakfast options all very tasty. Happy hour is definitely worth it! It was easy to meet people as they've created a nice hangout space without it being solely focused on partying. There was a nice mix of ages and backgrounds. The bar is inviting but doesn't stay open too long which means you can enjoy a quiet night.

There was not really any hot water (warm at best). This was the case in every accommodation I stayed at though. When reading the room description, I though there was a desk in the room. This was not the case. They have lots of seating options in the public space, but I needed to do some work in the privacy of my own space. The terrace isn't really private either. There is only 1 small (and uncomfortable) chair and nothing to shied you from the view of the common areas. But this led me to meet people so it didn't bother me too much. A rooster started chanting at 3 a.m. every night. But this can't really be helped in the Philippines.

We stayed in one of the private rooms with our own bathroom. The room was basic but clean, and had everything we needed. The staff were so nice and helped us with everything we needed. We were able to rent a motorbike from the hostel which made it much easier to get around. The hostel offers drinks and some basic food (drinks were super cheap!) and there are also heaps of great restaurants nearby. The common area has hammocks and beanbags, with some card games provided. Overall the place had a very homely feel, and we would happily come back to stay again.

The hot water system in our shower was very difficult to use, and there wasn't much water pressure - but not a major issue, as the weather was so hot that a cold shower was honestly so refreshing.

I felt at home at this simple, relaxed beach hostel. The one large dorm was decent. Beds have a privacy curtain, socket and basic plug-in light. There was a nice hammock area to chill out in and I spent a whole day there reading and hanging out. The owners also bought bean bags so those are there now! Staff were really nice and friendly, as were the owners. They made me feel at home. The location was really good - a couple of minutes from all the food places and dive shops, and 5-10 minutes on foot from Pangasama beach.

The only minus for me was there is only toilet for the whole place. That gets tricky when the dorm is full because at night and early in the morning you end up waiting, which is a problem if you are sick, on your period or desperate for a poo:)

This was my first place I stayed in the Philippines and I absolutely loved it. I was pretty cranky when I arrived from my day off travel, but they had decked out my room with flowers for my birthday. It was so beautiful. They helped me with my onward journeys and also recommended things to do whilst in town. I booked my Kawasan tour directly with them and it was three best day ever. Thanks so much guys I told everyone in the Philippines how great you were :)

My Aircon was a little sluggish but it worked in the end and I had a great nights stay :)

Room Very Spacious, the inn is private & quiet, WIFI excellent, the bed & toilet area is spotless, staff is very helpful & friendly. AC can improve more & no problem with numerous wall plugs for your gadgets and also Outdoor Showers & CR available. If you are on a budget they also have Dorm Options. Over-All Experience of stay is commendable!

AC can improve but if you have a low cold tolerance like me - it is already sufficient. Great place to stay during Off Peak Season. For sure it will be on full capacity during summertime.

Customer service was amazing, Clean, comfortable great location to taxi bikes or tue tue. Had all the options, if you wanted rent a any type of bikes then they could arrange it. Improvements i would suggest is adding dark and stormy cocktail to their extensive list and beer hosters to keep beers/ drinks colder for longer, it doesn't seem to be a thing in the Philippines but most definitely should be. I want to thank you for making our stay so a great one. I would like also give a big shout out the man that should me how to fold a towel so that it takes less space when doing laundry 👍.

We stayed at this gem of a place for two nights in August 2023 and had a terrific, memorable experience. We’ve been to Moalboal many times and found the quality of accommodations to be a hit or miss. Thankfully, the Backyard Inn is one of Moalboal’s newer accommodations that offer rooms at a competitive price point. We booked the double room with private bathroom and were impressed by the thoughtful aesthetics, the clean look, and the new furnishings. Backyard Inn has a bar where you can order from a selection of creative drinks. They also provide free water and unlimited tea and coffee for guests—what a treat! They serve all-day breakfast options and offer motorbike rentals at reasonable prices. We booked the sardine run tour with them and had a pleasant experience. Aside from that, the staff were jolly, helpful and caring. The owner Andreas was equally warm and welcoming. For the budget-conscious, they have a mixed dorm with 10 beds. I peeked inside the dorm and found it to be spotless and quiet. I made a mental note to come back here and book the whole dorm for barkada/family excursions. Overall, we had such a pleasant stay at Backyard Inn and will not hesitate to come back. It’s Moalboal’s best-kept secret—but not for long.

None

I really liked the property and how it was structured. We got lucky and had the room to ourselves for two nights. When we asked about curtains, they immediately added some to our beds, which was amazing. I also enjoyed the breakfast and overall service!

The ants would come into the room, even though I didn’t have anything for them in my belongings. Was a little annoying

Great location and comfortable beds. The dorm room is very large so it does not feel crowded. Bed has curtains for privacy.

Only 1 toilet and 1 shower for the 12 guest + staff to use. A line can form very easily during peak times. Having two toilets would be really beneficial as if anything happens to the one it would be a major issue. Or if someone desperately needs to use the facilities, they're out of luck until the 1 toilet is unoccupied.
