    Short curtains in the bed, doesn’t cover properly for the accurate privacy.

    Stayed 2 times, nice basic hostel, strong Wi-Fi, warm shower.

    Staff was not very nice.

    Very confortable bed. Clean bedroom and bathroom. Nice space to chill. Very quiet. Not very social but perfect to get some rest.

    A bit far from the airport but you can book the van directly in the hostel to go to El Nido or Port Barton and it come to pick up in the hostel! Great

    I didn't like the Moto company they recommend. Tires where bold and bike was super slippery plus breaks were doing funky sound. It didn't have phone holder. I didn't feel safe on it.

    All was good.

    Nothing.

    📍Perfect location for one night. Free water, near Robinson Malls and cheap super stores. 📍You can directly book El Nido/Port Barton Van rides from reception. The van will pick you up from the hostel.

    you have to pay to use towels. also, the bunk beds were kinda wobbly. the person on the lower bunk was being so loud and moving so much that I felt like I was on a ship. {but that's mostly out of the hostel's control.}

    i stayed for one night to take the recaro van to port barton. the hostel was good overall.

    No dissatisfaction, simply perfect

    It's extremely clean and I've seen excellent staff using an iron to make up the covers and bed covers, very clean and tidy! And at the end there's a spray of air cleaner and disinfectant, all the staff service is great! The lady at the front desk helped me a lot, thanks a lot! If I come back to Princesa, I will choose to stay here !

    Bathrooms were tiny and not comfy. Placement is bad if you don't have a bike/scooter.

    Very quiet hostel away from the city center. The placement is not the best, but I had a scooter, so it didn't matter. Beds are comfy. Common area is small, but chill.

    Amazing host and ready to help whenever needed and the hostel clean, good breakfast (not included), and a very nice chill area. A bit faraway from the City but you can take a jeepney for 12-15 pesos from the main Street.

    For me the location was good (easy access to the immigration office) except that the bus/van station was just recently changed location further away from the hostel. So if you book this place to stay near the station, do note that it has changed location. But the owner was very helpful with telling me about the change as soon as I arrived and arranging the pick up from the hostel so I didn't have to go to the station myself.

    The room and facilities were really clean and looked nice. The bed was comfortable. The owner was the nicest and helped me a lot with changing my van to Port Barton for an earlier one as well as arranging a pick up from the hostel. I can recommend staying here.

    It is not exactly in the center, A bit tricky to move around in the evening as there is no illumination on the road to get back to town. It might even be dangerous to walk. When I arrived there was no water.

    Staff is really nice. Free coffee and water. They provide you with lockers for your belongings. Not so far from a great restaurant called Swag (best grilled chicken tried in my life). Rooms provided with A/C. Nice hang out area.
