It's a little hard to get around without a scooter or driver. But I managed to do everything I wanted to and more despite this. I fully recommend staying here!

I absolutely loved my stay here!! The hosts are superb 😊 they helped me so much and were so friendly. They couldn't have done more for me and I'll be eternally grateful to them. When a driver wasn't available to take me to places I wanted to visit, they drove me for the same price as a driver would have. It would have been really difficult to do everything I wanted to without them. Their children are adorable! Everywhere was immaculately clean. The shower was warm and had good pressure. The WiFi and air conditioning worked perfectly. They provided shower gel, hand soap and free water refills. I really recommend doing the ATV tour near the volcano through them, it was amazing! It's near a mall with lots of restaurants. The rooftop provides an amazing view of the volcano as well

The family owning this hostel were super kind and always helped me whenever I had a problem. I felt super safe at this hostel and comfortable as a solo traveler which is always nice. +the rooftop is simply amazing for sunsets and an amazing view of Mount Mayon.

Nothing!

A nice clean and peaceful property. But what makes it great is the hostess who is so friendly and helpful and will make your stay extra special

JDL is like coming home, it is very clean and tidy, and has a great terrace to watch the volcano. The proprietress is warm, beautiful and educated. I like her two daughters very much, they are smart and lovely.

Not a dislike but more of a suggestion, more food options (rice meals specifically) and fan rooms should have a window for good ventilation.

1. Has great view of Mt. Mayon in the rooftop 2. Room and restrooms were clean; same with the blanket and towel provided. 3. Never had a problem with water pressure in the shower area 4. Staff were accommodating and friendly.

Super friendly staff. They are happy to help you plan your trip and give you great advice about the best places to eat 😀 They also have a great viewpoint on the roof!

The water was slow to drain in the shower room and flows out to the floor by the sink.

Not too bad for the rate and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The A/C stopped working in the middle of the night and the staff came in to reset it.

The 2 guys working there were not very welcoming and a bit unfriendly on the arrival. But it changed a bit during my stay.

Very clean and the owner was super friendly and helpful. In general a very good Hostel with a great view! Super clean and rooms were tidy!

Place is very clean and has everything you need. You can see that the owners put a lot of effort to make you feel comfortable. Sunshine made me feel like home and helped me with every doubt I might have had

I stayed at JDL for two nights and it is highly recommended. Summer is a gracious host. Here are a few things you should know: 📍This place is top notch clean. Literally OCD standard. 📍Check In - 1.00 PM, Check Out - 11.00AM 📍Bunk bed comes with a towel, a blanket, a locker (along with dedicated key), hot/cold water filter. 📍Wi-fi is strong and covers the entire floor. 📍Within 2KM radius there is SM Mall, Bus Stand and more than 18 restaurants. 📍Within 2 minutes walking distance there is an asian restaurant, laundry shop and a grocery store. 📍Bonus: Rooftop gets a volcano view if the sky and weather is clear.

The air-conditioning system was not in a state of readiness to operate.

In March 2023, my aspiration of travelling to the Bicol region to see the grandeur of Mount Mayon was actualized. There were a number of hotel/hostel options to choose from when I was browsing a few websites; but the moment I saw JDL Residences Hostel, I immediately dropped all other options in mind. First, the picture of the facade attracted my attention; and when I reached the property, I wasn't disappointed. It has well-painted wide gates, a spacious front parking area, and a quiet and decent neighbourhood. Indeed, it is a very good place within a subdivision. The owners and their staff are truly good-hearted. On a scale of 1-10, the cleanliness of the whole hostel scores the highest, i.e.10. For the politeness of their hardworking staff, 10 as well; and for the facilities and overall comfort that I had experienced, I would give a score of 8.5 as it was just because the air-conditioning system was not in a state of readiness to operate. Standing electric fans are available, though. It is a score of 10 for value for money. Although the room allotted for my 7 nights/8 days of stay has 3 bunk beds for 6 pax, I was the only one who occupied it all throughout the week. However, I would have been happier if I had companions. All in all, I had a mega amazing stay in JDL Residences Hostel. Lastly, but the most wonderful blessing I had was having viewed from their rooftop _ the Mayon Volcano with its perfect cone and symmetry. To Ms. Summershine and family, to the staff Jerome and Jomar, THANK YOU very much for my enjoyable stay in your property. I pray and faithfully declare and claim for YOUR HOSTEL _ more guests, more blessings, and double portions of rewards from God.

Great location, great facilities and amazing hosts! This was our first stay in the Philippines and we are so glad it was! The hosts are very welcoming and will provide you with the best recommendations of places to check out during your visit! we loved it so much we extended a few more nights and there’s lots to explore in Legazpi! Also an incredible view of Mt Mayon right from the roof terrace! Thank you so much for our stay, would definitely recommend and stay would stay again!

Location is excellent it is overlooking the Mt. Mayon

For solo backpackers, it's missing a common chill area.

Summer is the most amazing host that I ever met during my trip in Philipiness. She's so helpful and kind, she gave me a lot of suggestions of restaurants, places to visit and helped with the taxi at 4h30 am. The hostel is clean and nice, very well located less than 10 min walking to SM city - main bus terminal. You can see Mayon volcano from the rooftop.

You need a tricycle or your own to get somewhere. But I think thats with every Hostel in Legazpi.

I had a lovely stay in this hostel. Staff is friendly and the owner Sunshine, you can whats app her when you need information or help. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. The view on the rooftop is amazing:)

Incredible view of Mayon volcano from the rooftop. Very helpful and friendly staff

it's a little pricey with hidden fees.

the rest rooms are clean. could improve each shower room by adding hooks for bags since this is a dorm type hostel. the roof top also has a great view of the volcano and it's fun to stay there early in the morning and in the evening
