    Chilled vibes but the location is a bit :/

    The area didn’t particularly feel great to walk to. It’s down a side road next to the pharmacy. Luckily there was 2 of us otherwise, I’d not feel comfortable walking down there. It’s by peoples homes but dogs walking around (if you’re scared of dogs), and a goat! Once you’re in the hostel (surrounded by a thick bamboo fence), you forget the outside. There was also cockroaches in the bathroom so going for a 4am pee was challenging!

    Jodie who works there is lovely and helpful. We had a private room with air con and private bathroom. The outside space is relaxing and the sitting area has hammocks, games and a very chilled hippie vibe to it. The room was clean and air con was perfect

    The outside bathrooms were a bit uncomfortable, but as I already knew about that I was okay. If you are sensitive about it choose another place.

    It's a very beautiful hostel and the staffs are all very nice.

    Cozy hostel to relax but still central

    The dorms have moskito nets, but some are already old with holes and should be replaced. In upper bunkbeds you always touch the net as it hangs just from one point over the bed. Some of the shared bathrooms could be repaired/renewed like taps moving when turning on water, showers where water is not properly running.

    Very nice hostel with little garden and cute chillout area with hammocks. You can spend time with others watching a movie or chill for yourself. Little breakfast is offered e.g. egg toast, smoothie or overnight oats. Water, tee, coffee for free. All rooms are open, so no walls but curtains, but still silent and I had a good sleep. Fan and locker for each bed. Recommend a private room with double bed for bit more privacy and space. Very friendly and supportive staff. 10 minutes walk to the beach and restaurants and cafes directly nearby. Good laundry service.

    Everything is perfect. Just something guests have to know or expect in case, there are bugs/ insects — although it is expected since the property promotes nature and there’s a lot of trees and birds in the property.

    It’s as advertised, peaceful and full of nature. I like how they used native materials to compliment the beach vibe, the flow of people is carefree, in fact was able to make friends with some. And the staff is super amazing! Special mention to Jodie, who gave us tips and always asking how our days going.

    Down a track at the side of the road with lots of dogs, some of which seemed aggressive but had no problems with them.

    Lots of spaces to relax, including lots of hammocks. Good air conditioning and a mosquito net provided. Lovely staff. Relaxing vibe.

    - beds could be a bit more stable - not really owner fault, but there are mosquitos, now you know

    - the whole architecture of the place it’s amazing, it actually the best thing I had in Alona. I want to have my home like that - perfect position, central but far from the mess - staff present and available

    Path to go in is bumpy and rocky. If you have luggage, you will need to carry it for about 200 meters from the main road. Although, the staff are helpful to organise transportation in and out of the hostel when you checked in.

    Clean room, chill ambience and great value for money

    The blanket given to cover us was very thin, it can be a little chilly at night. Frankly, I'm a little sensitive too. Maybe if I asked the staff they could help me. Nothing negative, it was very nice

    I love it. I loved the interior design of the hostel, it is very peaceful. The beds were very comfortable and there was a special fan for each bed. Hostel owners and staff were very helpful. We liked the hostel so much that we kept making new reservations.

    There was a rooster just on the other side of the wall, but you’re in the Philippines, so it’s kind of a given to wake up to roosters. Really nice place

    It’s a such a little hidden gem from the busy area of Panglao. Very calming

    As you can see on the pictures, the private rooms are only surrounded by curtains. If you're unlucky and have a family with a kid next to you that is awake in the middle of the night, you might not get the sleep you'd need. Especially as the cock behind the room starts to crow at 5AM.

    The resort is really cute and laid back with lots of hammocks and chill areas. I LOVE how the trees grow through the roof! The staff is really friendly and the location is good with not even 10mins walk to the beach. You get a lot of great recommendations with a super helpful QR code when checking in. I would definitely go back!

    Quite noisy at night… can hear other guests moving about and also loud roosters just the other side of the wall… I still slept fine though and not much can do about it anyway!

    Loved the relaxed vibe… hammocks and bean bags everywhere! Mosquito net provided but good quality and definitely needed as lots of mossies here! But I slept well due to the good net. Toilets/showers clean. Free drinking water. A bit further from beach/main drag than other places but also nice to be away from the noise/hustle & bustle too, much quieter.

    Good coffee machine was missing. But I’m sure it’s coming soon.

    Amazing design in the middle of the garden. Beautiful wooden interiors with nipa roof and hammocks surrounding the rooms and common area. I felt like I am in peaceful monastery where everyone respected the beauty of this place. Friendly and polite staff, as well as the owners who run the place with heart. Yoga matts, books, hammocks, games were available in the common area. Kitchen had simple yet tasty choice of breakfast. It is walking distance to Alona Beach.
