Étant un party hostel c’est fort bruyant

La ubicación
Extremadamente ruidoso, teníamos el bar en la planta de arriba y no pudimos dormir las dos noches, gente hablando y gritando por los pasillos a altas horas de la noche. Si solo buscas fiesta es una buena opción. Si quieres descansar, nada recomendable.

Very clean, and although it is a party hostel, after 11pm it is very quiet!

Très bel hôtel et très bon rapport qualité prix. Nous avons pris une chambre individuelle, la chambre était très bien pour le prix. L’hôtel est très bien situé.
Niveau de bruit très élevé jusqu’à 23h. Après 23h par contre, le bruit s’arrête et les gens sont respectueux. Je recommande plutôt pour un séjour entre amis qu’en couple.

Location was great when i arrive the staff was great they always greet room was great faciilities was great evrything was really nice i love the hanging strings outside the room so you can hang your wet clothes from island hopping activities i didnt use the pool on the top building coz its too crowded a lot of foreigners guest in this property its fun overall if you are stsying here isuggest you are a party people
Bed was compy they make it up everyday they cleaning the room so well thumbs up for that friendly staff
they have their own booking for island hopping so its hassle free if your planning for your tour.
If your planning to stay here and sleep early bring earplugs its too noisy party but they stop at 11 pm
wifi only outside, in the room was too poor connectivity even my cellular data is not active something is blocking inside the room but i slept well

Posizione centralissima, ben comunicato. Ostello carino e staff gentilissimo, sempre attento alle esigenze di tutti gli ospiti. Camera spaziosa a comoda.
Peccato non ci fosse una cucina condivisa in ostello, per poterne usufruire. Il prezzo di per sé è abbastanza caro e anche i prezzi del ristorante sono alti.

This hostel has everything you need really and it is right where you want to be.
Be aware that if you use booking.com for this hostel, they will charge you extra, so better book directly via them.
It feels kind of like a scam because they make it look like a VAT, which it isn't, they are just passing on the booking.com commission, but they don't declare it when you book.

Nada. Péssima experiencia! Não se hospedem!
Reservei um transfer de el nido para puerto princesa com o Hostel e o motorista estava alcoolizado, dirigindo rapido e com muito sono, quase dormindo. Solicitei para parar o veiculo e tomar um cafe e o mesmo se recusou a fazer. Um absurdo um hostel famoso nas Filipinas colocar a vida dos hospedes em risco de tal maneira! Não se hospedem la, caso se hospedarem de maneira alguma reservem o transfer com eles.

The room had two queen size beds, towels were provided and we had a private bathroom and obviously AC. The towels were nicely arranged on the bed. But nothing that swept me off my feet.
There was some hair laying around here and there, but that wasn't too dramatic.
Also if you book via booking.com they will put the booking.com commission on top of your booking and declare it as a tax, so you end up paying more and because they declare it as a tax (which it isn't) booking.com doesn't do anything about it. But you are better off booking the hostel directly via their website.

Very comfortable rooms and great facilities. Tours were fun and well organised. Great place to meet people.
Bathrooms require updating - shower head was at waist height, so needed to be held above head the entire time, and the bathrooms just look/smell a bit funky.

La piscina tiene una buena vista y tiene buen ambiente, habitaciones y baños limpios, en general buenas instalaciones y ubicación.
Con algunas excepciones de dos personas muy amables algunos miembros del personal eran bastante secos algo que no es comun en filipinas donde el persona suele ser amable, los lockers para guardar cosas en la habitación compartida estaban malos.

The location was perfect - near restaurants, shops and the beach. The staff were amazing and always went above and beyond especially when I needed help setting up my sim card.

I liked the rooftop area. It has a beautiful view, pool and bar.
I didn’t like that it doesn’t have a fridge in the room.

Aircon was good kept the room nice and cool.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Entertaining events planned for each day.
Shower didn't drain very well, kept clogging.
Terrible wifi on the floor we were staying on - didn't have a connection unless we were pressed up against the bedroom door.
Noisy bedroom (306) right next to communal bathroom for the dorms - kept getting woken up at like 2/3AM

very clean and well located. Spacious private room. New facilities. Cool decor. Good vibes, good crowd and awesome rooftop pool party. Haqqy Life organizes the best tour in El Nido. Don't hesitate to book the tour with them and book in advance before sold out.
The private room is right next to the public washroom / shower so it doesn't quite make sense. Shower is not fixed on the wall so have to hand hold it all the time when taking shower.

Staff was very helpful with any request, as in most places in Phillipines.
Very clean and comfortable beds.
Very social. The rooftop is amazing and there is plenty of games and opportunities created by staff to meet other people, even if you are a little shy.
Quite noisy at night. This can be a problem if you are not in the mood. However, around midnight becomes quiet :)

fabulous hostel and perfect for all ages! the view from the roof top is stunning and rooms are clean and quite spacious
