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

Staff were amazing, couldn’t do more for you and the hostel is right on the beach, great views from the balcony

Very friendly staff and location

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.

great communal area, perfect location, I loved the bar and restaurant downstairs & the shutters gave each bed amazing privacy. the staff were very helpful and friendly and there was bread, fruit and teas in the morning. gorgeous view of the sea & cliffs from both the dorm and main lounge!

More social activities please! I didn't get my sheets changed in 4 nights but I didn't mention this to the staff, if I did I know they would've changed them

One of my favourite ever hostels! Happiness is in the best location, close to restaurants etc with a balcony overlooking the sea. Dreamy! The staff who work there are so kind and helpful. I loved having unlimited free tea/coffee available and a snack station too which definitely saved me some money. Good WiFi. The pub crawl was fun and a good way to meet people

The only thing I wish they had was a pool area.

It is an amazing social hostel, with positive staff great for solo travellers and large groups of friends. It is everything you need, including comfy, clean beds, huge lockers, and a big common area.

Really lovely place with super atmosphere where you can sit with cold beer and looking at the main street and sea. Everywhere it was clean . Night was quiet. Shared bathrooms are big enough. We loved it here.

Really nice relaxed vibe. The staff were really helpful in organising excursions and transfers. The dorm rooms were nice with the sliding shutters. Good air con. The happiness cafe/restaurant was amazing.

Mattress was a bit too thin. Otherwise really enjoyed my stay.

Great location! Just across the road from the beach/ harbour, super close to lots of restaurants and shops. Nice view from the balcony. The rooms and facilities were clean.
