Location and staff is good. Very easy to find the island hopping tours and they will arrange you everything including van transport and bike rental.

The only issue we had was the lack of toilets and showers. There were 3 of each on our floor, so it meant you could be waiting a little bit if they were all in use.

The beds in this hostel are really private, you get your own security box, light and socket in your pod. They clean the toilets almost constantly, which was really impressive to see. The food in the restaurant below is really good. You also get 25% off breakfast in the downstairs restaurant. They do provide free sweet breads and bananas in the morning next to reception too. There are loads of games in the common area if you need something to pass the time. It's also located near the beach where all the tours launch from.

This was one of the best hostels i’ve stayed at- i found it really easy to meet people with all the activities held, the restaurant downstairs was great and the bunk was comfortable. I found once my door was closed I could hardly hear anything. The crew were always willing to point me in the direction of a good time and James was particularly fantastic and i really owe him for providing such a wonderful experience:)

They have a no shoe policy in the hostel which means you leave your shoes in the common area and unfortunately a pair of our shoes were taken. The showers could also have better pressure.

The beds in this hostel are amazing! Each one has a sliding door that enclosed the bunk bed and blocked out almost all the light, so you won’t get woken up by your roommates turning on the light. Each bunk also has its own fan and light. The staff was also very helpful with motorbike rentals and tour bookings!

It will be perfect if the fan can be quiet

I stayed in Happiness hostel for 4 nights. It is a lovely hostel，the staffs are friendly and always with smile. I arrived in the midnight because of the flight delay，they are still waiting for me to check in. It is located in the walking street area close to the beach and the ferry，it's very easy to go anywhere or book the tours. The hostel can also help to book tours and the transportation from/to PPS airport with reasonable price. Free drinking water，free coffee and tea with bread and banana in the morning. Room size is satisfied，bathroom is clean，AC 24h. I am a solo traveller，I feel comfortable and relax in Happiness hostel.

Can't recommend it more! Each bed has it's own "box" in the dorms, which gives you more privacy compared to other hostels. Hostel and bathrooms were always super clean. They have a whatsapp group with activities they organize, which makes it easier to connect with people if you travel alone! But the best of all is the staff!!! Everyone is so friendly and so nice, Goes for everyone, but especially Jona and Jona (yes 2 Jonas) are amazing and couldn't be more grateful that they were my hosts!

The stairs to the upper level of the dormitory could be made a little easier to climb.

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, and the convenience of having a restaurant & bar downstairs.

Comfortable hostel, with very helpful staff. Great location right in El Nido. Right at the port where tours leave from. Restaurant below serves great food!

The bathroom was okay but I know it can still be improved.

The hostel is located near the harbor so you will not have difficulty walking and it is not required to travel if you are planning to go on a boat trip. Accessible to all establishments, like restaurants, souvenir shops, church, convenience stores, city hall and etc. The food and drinks at Happiness restaurant and bar are very good. This is something I will reccommend with my family, coworkers, and friends. I will definitely come back next time! All the staffs here are kind and helpful. Kudos to Jonna, Joy, James, Cris, Mark and ate Mela. Thank you for all the help that you provided while I was there. My 8 days of stay here became extra special because of you. Keep it up and don't get tired of doing good to others!

Need another shower or two.

Comfy beds, super private. Discount at restaurant was a nice touch, food was incredible

Bathroom is fine but would be better if we get a stand-up mirror

They had wide and relaxing lounge area. There’s complimentary light breakfast (bananas and bread). They had the best staff. Shoutout to Joy and Mark who made my stay amazing.

No kitchen

The location is perfect, in el nido town, close to activities and restaurants. It is clean and comfortable. The staff is also super nice.

I could hear the music from the bar below and I was on the first floor of the hostel on a bottom bunk so wasn’t great! If your a light sleeper like me may not be the best hostel

Super friendly staff, very clean! Overall nice vibes

Only downside was the room didn’t lock but there was a little safe box :)

Location was so good, staff were great and it was clean

The water heaters in two of the bathrooms were not working.

The room, bed and linen was very clean. The room had a private corner to change clothes. The common areas were well maintained. The lobby area was well decorate and with great ambience with a view of seashore. The staff, Joy, Joanna and James were extremely welcoming and helpful.

Crazy awkward ladder to get up to top bunk

Genuinely nothing i can think about that i didn't like!

This property was amazing. Perfect location right next to the beach and a 1-2 minute walk to all the restaurants and shops but still the perfect distance away to keep it being quiet at night. The staff were 10/10, genuine and friendly people who helped whenever needed and great people to be around. The room was great with air conditioning and a fan. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy, also loved the sliding doors for privacy.

Not really social hostel, not a lot happening in the common areas

Good locations, lockers next to your bed and under for your entire backpack, spacious bedrooms and hot shower.
