    One of our favourite hostels on our travels so far! Very clean, well maintained and great facilities. They also helped organise some amazing excursions around the island too. We especially loved the food, both breakfast and the Indian restaurant for dinner!

    Had some difficulties with renting scooters but eventually got resolved

    The rooms were superb: comfiest beds we’ve had since travelling for 3 months and curtains that shut properly in the rooms. Lovely outdoor spaces and loved the free drink each night. Staff were superb: special mention to Bryan, Mark and Jayr who made our trip.

    A hotel-like hostel in a calm area outside General Luna
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    This hostel is more like a hotel located in a calm area 7 min from GL center. The beds are comfy with a big thick duvet, your own bed light, sockets, curtain, locker, ac and one bathroom for each dorm with hot shower. There is a pool outside, common lounge area, indian restaurant, book swapping, board games, daily activities like movie night, surfing etc. They have laundry and a kitchen where you can cook your own food. You even get your own locker in the kitchen to store your food. Inside the locker you have your own plates and utensils and even a water bottle. The staff is really friendly and accommodating. Across the street you have a lounge area at the beach. You also get a free drink every night! This is the best hostel I have stayed in during my whole stay (3 months) in the Philippines (also the most expensive ;) but it is worth the money.

    Best hostel ever. 15 min drive to town so you can still enjoy the night life in General Luna. Right in front of a beautiful &quiet beach, lots of areas where you can chill, very social and friendly vibe. The staffs are all so amazing and helpful, very friendly all the time. Clean and beautiful rooms, softest beds. They even send back your laundry within a couple of hours to your room? WTF, is this really a hostel?

    It’s a little bit far from general Luna and cloud 9, but if you are searching for something more quieter and really comfortable it’s a great hostel.

    It’s a beautiful hostel, clean, organized, in front of the beach. It has a nice pool and sun baths to chill either in the pool or at the beach. It has a kitchen, laundry service and a restaurant.

    It's not in GL, so just be aware that you need a motobike

    The hotel is really beautiful and chic, the pool is great, comfortable bed, the stuff is really nice and helpful. The beach is amazing! We ended up staying much more than we attended to... will come back for sure!

    I didn't like at all the long list of terms and conditions that sent me after booking, I almost canceled because of that. The kitchen's blower is too noisy.

    Perfect beach, quiet erea, very helpful stuff, very clean and nicely designed room, great Indian food great hostess and much more....

    Only con that some would have issues with is that it is 3 km to GL. You need a bike to get around but motorbikes (cheap for a day's hire) and bicycles (free) are good quality.

    Best hostel that I have stayed at in SE Asia. Period. Relaxed. Great staff. Great room for those video call and stuff you need to do online. Internet was super stable. super comfy beds. Will be even better when the bar opens!

    It is not very centric but you can easily rent a motorbike and be in the town within 5 mins.

    Really comfortable beds. You have a lot of privacy in the dorms, each bed has its own “strong box” and locker

    The key was not compatible to the padlock of my locker in the kitchen. This was a common problem for our group and couldn’t access our kitchen utensils and plates though the staff were able to help resolve this issue.

    It was more than what we expected. On arrival we were oriented by friendly staff. Not only was the facility aesthetically pleasing it was also clean and tidy. Overall we had a comfortable and pleasant stay.

    Room was right in front of the pool. There should be a curfew on use of the pool. There were people partying all night could hear noise loudly in room. Lack of working area in room. Could use a small writing desk (a bistro style table and chair would do) so guest don’t have to go to the restaurant/lobby to work. Lots of mosquitoes

    Room was clean but lots of flying bugs crawling on the walls
