    Very nice owner who arranges things you need. The place is nice situated but kind of in the middle of nowhere. But the airport is very close and if you want to do something go to the mall with a tricycle.

    The walls are like paper, obviously you’re going to hear dogs fighting and cockerels all day long in the Philippines, but there were no windows just mosquito nets so I could hear different rooms conversations etc which meant I didn’t sleep great before my flight. Also no a/c just a fan and the building is fully open to the elements so I got a fair few bites despite mosquito spray

    Close to the airport it was 150-200 pesos for a tuktuk there. Host is so lovely recommended places and offered to take me to the other bamboo nest for an event they were having

    It’s not too difficult to find and the staff will give you the option of an airport taxi once you book, as well as directions to the hostel if you go on your own but the tuktuk I got from the airport had difficulty getting me there because of the military road, so maybe book the transportation with the hostel (it’s the same price)!!

    The building itself is so lovely and there is a delicious restaurant just 1 minute away on the military road that cooked me vegetarian meals during my stay, the staff are extremely helpful and I even managed to book a last minute shuttle to Port Barton with no problem because of them! The art around the place is seriously awesome and the dogs and cats are so cute (if you lie on the hammock sometimes the cats jump into your lap)!

    Nothing! We loved everything about our stay.

    We really loved staying here- it was one of the best places we stayed at in Palawan! The architecture, as the rest of the comments say, is truly stunning. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need to cook. We loved lounging in the hammocks and walking around the small village area around the hostel. It was really easy to book and plan activities right at the hostel. Our host was really great and helped with everything! You will also get to meet a few furry friends. :)

    - water pressure could be better (like everywhere else) We enjoyed the short stay a lot.

    Really nicely designed structure with a lot of details. Very kind host who was informative and helpful. Animal lover and artist. The place is located in authentic surroundings with a few shops and homes. They have another venue on the beach which is floating. Airport trike in the early morning 200PHP. Good price (17€) for room no.3 with two fans and two large beds. Kitchen, fridge, water, etc. available. Hostel atmosphere with enough privacy.

    The neighbor started cooking at 4 am, and the smell wafted into our room, but this was nothing the host could do about it.

    The light from the hallway would shine brightly into my dorm waking me up sometimes when people walked around. Many dogs around that randomly fight each other in the night might wake you up as well. Other than that, the go to place.

    Overnight transfer stay in Puerto Princesa, I was positively surprised by this beautiful bamboo place. It looks amazing. Many people, yet quiet. Many showers and toilets. Fully equipped kitchen to use with amazing coffee (best in the Philipines and for free!), although the nearby local restaurant serves good food for surprisingly low prices. Hammocks everywhere. Overall good place to stay and to meet some people!

    The location was a bit remotely, but still fine if you don't mind to walk :)

    The host Jonathan was super helpful and he built the hostel on his own which is quite impressive. It was like a little art hotel, you can see beautiful decorations everywhere :)

    We loved how clean and organized they keep the place. It has a very unique style. There’s plenty of washrooms/showers for everyone to use. Fully equipped kitchen. Lots of cute dogs and cats that make the place homey. Jonathan, the host, is super kind and helpful. We initially booked for 2 nights and ended up staying 5! Would love to come back! :)

    The host jonathan was super kind and friendly and the whole place soo nice with lovly details and a lot chill areas and a kitchen. For our taste it was perfect! We really loved the place. You can walk to a beach through the neighbourhood and relax at bamboo nest beach, the second hostle from jonathan :) The beach is not perfect for long swims because the water has low height and many plants and is a bit muddy, but you can walk to a sand bank which was fun and a bit of an advantage. During the night dogs and cats can be loud but for us it was totally worth it!! We booked only one night first but extended to three haha <3
