    It was a bit far out from Panagsama beach but once we rented a motorbike this was not an issue.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast which was included was super tasty and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

    The staff were very friendly and guided us on a number of issues (e.g. how to get a bus to Bato). We also rented a scooter from the reception. Breakfast was included. We got our bottles topped up with water every time we asked - which was great! The room was clean and quite spacious for the price we paid. The location is close to the main shopping mall and jollibees. It is a 10min tricycle ride to panagsama beach.

    There isn’t much facilities but for the price you can’t complain! For us this wasn’t an issue though as we spent our days out and about.

    We really enjoyed our stay at LR Hostel and Cafe. It’s a little spot about a ten minute tuk tuk/scooter ride from the main tourist spot in Basdiot. The staff were lovely and attentive, evening moving our washing round with the sun. Breakfast was cooked fresh every morning with a good menu and choice. The bed was clean and comfortable. The shower had hot running water.

    For this price it’s amazing! The sun is shining outside so go out…. You need definitely a scooter if not is too far to walk everything to the beach and fun places. Beverly the best staff :) She made us every morning breakfast!

    Shower head needs attention, it was somewhat clogged so the water only came out in a couple of places.

    Our lady host was so friendly and helpful. Good selection for breakfast which you order the night before. We had a constant supply of water refils which was very much appreciated. Bike rental available with full tank to start with! Basic, small and clean room. Comfy mattress and some hanging space. Air con, Cold shower which is not my favourite but fine for a couple of nights. Separate shower and loo. Fairly busy road as well but we slept fine. Our host helped us flag down the bus for our onward journey across the road from the hostel which saved us a hot walk to the centre. Quite a distance away from Panagsama Beach but tricycles readily available.

    Amazing, friendly and helpful staff! Yummy breakfast which was served outside our room each morning. Walking distance to the mall and bus terminal and multiple places to eat. The room was clean with air con, tv and a separate toilet and shower. A little further from panagsama beach but we walked it twice. Will defintely be returning!

    The walls were thin resulting in us hearing a lot of what was going on outside our room. When going to bed, we could unfortunately hear rats in the ceiling. While the rooms were very clean, this made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.

    The hostess was lovely and very welcoming. We enjoyed the breakfast option in the mornings. She was super helpful in making sure we got the correct bus for our trip south of the island.

    A bit far from the busy touristy side of Moalboal but can be overcome by renting a motorcycle or taking a cab.

    Great stay at this hostel and right where the bus picks you up and drops you off. Owner was super kind, and showed here kick-ass cooking skills both at breakfast and diner. Prices of drinks and food are also great for the quality you receive. We also rented a motorcycle which went without any issues (and bike was great). Really great value deal.

    Just to say something; room was fine but there are no stands to place your stuff, just some hangers; though this seems to be a standard in Phillipines.

    Quality - price relation insuperable. Staff is very helpful and kind, she helped us a lot. Room was well equiped; aircon, wifi and hot water in shower worked perfectly all 3night we stayed. Also have a line outside for your wet clothes, as well as a table and chairs to chill at night. Breakfast was good, you can choose among some filipino and western dishes. Location is aprox 4km away from Paragsama beach (not a deal if ride a mbike, but it will cost you 150php to get there by tricycle) but 2min walking you have a mall with a good supermarket, and a various food options (local carinderias, also McDonald's and some tourist focused rest at walking distance)

    I really had no issues. Everything was as I expected or better

    The staff was very helpful and kind to any needs I had while I stayed. It is a very convenient location. I extended my stay from one week to 6 weeks. I will definitely return when I come back the the Philippines in December. I would recommend it to others.

    There was a trail of ants coming from the toilet, to out of the door into the yard. It was from a hole in the toilet wall. Not too sure if I missed the heater, but showered with cold water everyday, good for the hot weather. You could hear animals walking on the ceiling at night, and it scared me initially, but it's alright. It is far from the beaches, better to rent your own scooter. If not, it's real easy to get a ride.

    Breakfast was great! Facilities (toilet/ shower) were good. The aircon was strong. Bed was good enough. Rather spacious, sufficient hangers. Even though it's beside the main road, you can't hear the traffic. And being beside the main road means it's really easy to take the bus.

    The location is a bit far from the beach where you swim with sardines etc, but we had a motobike , so it was not an issue. Note that if you stay for more than 1 day in Moalboal you need a moto anyway to move around. The place can be a bit noisy, it seemed though that everywhere is like that and we usually sleep with earplugs anyway.

    The hostel offers an amazing value for money-you get your own room, private bathroom,AC and super nice breakfast. It was very clean and looked a bit bigger than it’s on the pictures. We have got the moto from there for almost half the price than it’s in Moalboal. The owner was very nice -offered good breakfast considering our preferences and generally very friendly ☺️ Thank you so much!
