I feel the majority of the time we were there, there was either no water or a power cut. At night this was hard as we could not charge our phones and the aircon and fan did not work so we were boiling and unable to sleep. I thought it was across the whole island so could not fault the hotel but talking to friends other places still had power. But considering the price, I can’t complain much. Still a great stay regardless.

Really great property, fantastic staff. Perfect location, 5-10 walk. Offer a lot of activities and sociable.

No running water for the shower nor the sinks . You gotta wash yourself with the water that dripped all day from sinks into a big bucket with a smaller bucket. But I had been told it was common in Port Barton. Some staff members were very unhelpful. I asked for a towel to the night staff cause mine had been taken away from the drying line after a long day traveling . At first got told that the storage room where they kept it was locked for the night . Then after insisting, they actually had the key and led me to it. Upon arrival the person realized they didn't have any extra towels ( crazy) and then that same person handed me a dirty one she found in the dirty laundry basket, telling me if it was OK to use that one. I refused of course... Disappointing and poorly handled all the way

Good location. Modern facilties. Comfy beds. Powerful AC. Social mostly in the dorms than in common area. Some staff members were nice and helpful.

The water was not available every night I stayed there in the morning and the last 24 hours there was none. The type of people that this hostel brings in were rude, it would be late at night and they would come into the rooms and talk loudly, not caring if anyone was asleep. Even though port Barton had lots of water outages there was no plan in place for when there wasn't water. The lockers were quite small along the bottom of the lower bunk and were numbered in a way that wasn't practical. The side where the ladder was for the top bunk was the lower bunks locker.

The property had different events on each day, there was a water cooler available. There was beanbags and tables to sit on/at

They turned off AC between 11 and 6 pm. You cannot rest in your bed

Well located and quite vibe, you can party if you want but also rest.

the bunk curtain would always fall down, plus please don’t book their party boat tour book the one at cocorica it’s cheaper and better

The hostel was super cute and seemed to hold good activities

Great private rooms and dorm beds, very comfortable and the common area is lovely and very social. The staff were very friendly too, really great stay here.

Wish the wifi could reach the rooms. But then again maybe its a good thing so i dont stay in my room all day

Great atmosphere to meet people. Very chill vibe and staff was very helpful. Everything was cleanly.

It’s a hostel so noisy people and loud music from the bar until late. Everything is compacted and noise creeps in from all directions. Inattentive staff: the water dispenser was always empty. Constant lack of water and water pressure in showers (apparently common problem in the village).

Good location, close to the bar where we had tasty meals. Very clean for a hostel, spotless toilets/showers and fresh smelling bedding and towels.

Ran out of water one of the nights I was there but not the hostels fault, was across the whole island and not unexpected in a more remote town. Hostel handled it well with buckets ready to go for guests to use to shower

Really nice and chill, bar/reception area a great place to hang out. Away from the noisy part of port Barton but only a short walk to everything. Comfy rooms

The dorms have interconnected doors so it's actually more like a huge dorm than whats advertised but it was ok. The beds have curtains but they're kind of see through. The bathrooms and showers are near the entrance and the water station is at the bar so it's a little awkward at night if you're trying to get ready for bed with drunk people all around although to be fair the bar does close fairly early at 11

Was close to the bus stop and an easy walk to the beach or loads of places to eat. Really good free yoga class in the morning and the communal area was nice for lounging in/working during the day. You can order food but it's made off site so there's charges for delivery

Booked a private room, was given a double bed in a dorm for 2, as they didn’t have any private rooms available! They told us we could have a better room if we stayed in the dorm for the night, but the ‘bungalow’ they gave us was so basic, no water coming out the shower, no toilet seat, bugs/insects everywhere in the room- we wished we stayed in the dorm.

The showers were really good compared to what seemed in the rest of port Barton (they actually had water coming out of them) it was a nice hostel we were just quite unlucky.

One of my favourites places in the Phillipines is definitely Port Barton and this hostel helped a lot. What a vibes, good activities, clean rooms, maybe the water pressure is an issue but that's in the whole city. Incredible experience, thanks guys!

Half of the shower doors wouldn’t lock/ close properly. Also only 2 out of the 4 would provide hot water. Music playing too loudly in the morning whilst cleaners are working or morning yoga sessions etc. We had two doors in our private room one to outside and the other to the shower area. This meant you could hear everyone coming back late at night and everyone talking loudly by the showers.

Comfortable bed and spacious room. Outgoing friendly staff who made booking transport and trips very easy for good prices too. Nice bar area within the hostel. They were constantly cleaning the shower areas and toilets which was good as some people were leaving rubbish on the floors such as used toothpicks and floss.

Issues with water supply meaning whilst we were visiting no water to wash/shower/flush toilets. This might have been a problem just whist we were there.

Good location. Good air con in our room. Nice staff who helped organise transport etc.

Just the water pressure in the showers - but that’s not the hostels fault because it’s everywhere in town. Shower works well during daytime but they also have buckets with water which also works very good as a shower :D

We had a private room and it was so good. The bed is very comfy and the AC works well. Everything is very clean. We had a very good time. The team is super nice and helpful. You can walk everywhere from the hostel. It is very social - we met so lovely people there! We also booked a boat tour with the hostel and it was one of our best experiences in the Philippines. Also booked our scooter for a good price. Also the cocktails are great and the happy hour is a good deal! All in all a great stay and what we heard one of the best options in Port Barton.

No waterpressure around 17:00/18:00

Had a family dinner night which got everyone together. They have different trips or activities each day, facilities are really clean and it’s comfortable

No hot showers, I think the owners were Spanish and had all their friends there as it’s a small hostel and was hard to make friends as they all knew eachother

Beds were comfortable, with good air con from 6pm-11am. Very clean with good free yoga in the mornings

Stayed in February 2024

It can get a little hot in the dorms. WiFi not working properly but I think it’s a general problem in the area.

The common area was nice. Friendly and helpful staff. Dorm

The WiFi was patchy, but remember you're in a more rural place so it wasn’t much of an issue for us.

Great little hostel, lovely clean rooms and bathroom. we stayed in a private room, the hostel is the perfect balance, you can party or chill out. Everyone working there/volunteering and the owner were really nice and friendly, would 100% stay again. The location is pretty good too, just a short walk to the beach.

All good

The staff, the comfort of the beds and the breakfast. Lovely

Didn’t feel so “homely” and social

Felt very “beachy” and modern. It was close to downtown and beach (Port Barton in general is super walkable though). The boat tour organized by the hostel is so good!
