The location is a few minutes' walk to the beach. They have free drinking water, it's a party hostel but I didn't hear noise much really from the outside. It's affordable , the staff offered tours and met new friends.
We booked a van to Port Barton from Puerto Princesa, but the van didn't show up. I have a discount for being a genius 3 status at the Booking app, but they charged me more than from the amount on the app (excluding the credit card fee). The staff told me the booking price is showing differently (of course I have a discount). But I didn't argue anymore as I don't wanna ruin our trip.

Buen party hostel, se arma buen ambiente todas las noches, pero acaba temprano así que si quieres dormir también se puede
Las piezas no tienen mucho espacio para dejar las cosas, y hay gente que es poco considerada y deja sus cosas en todo el pasillo

Si vas con intenciones de estar en una fiesta pasarla bien sin importar el ruido , perfecto , el hotel súper bien , el personal amable , ofrecen tours , hay fiesta toda las noches , muy divertido , el ambiente es muy bueno , la música para a las 10 pero aún hay bulla pues la gente queda con ganas de seguir pasándola bien a las 12 ya queda silencio , si tus intenciones es descansar creo que este hotel no es para ti

Really friendly staff and a good party atmosphere if this is what you are after.
Unfortunately this was very difficult to fall asleep in as the dorms are massive and there is always so much noise from the music / drunk people / creaky floorboards etc. This was also not clean at all, with a rat running across the bar where they serve food and drinks. Every morning we were also woken up to horrible construction right outside our rooms starting 8am. No wifi in the rooms either.
3.5 / 5.0
The working staff were absolutely amazing - friendly, helpful and accomodating. They made this stay.
Beds were comfortable, had curtains for privacy.
Location! Very close to the beach.
Bathrooms appeared to be cleaned regularly, but did get dirty quickly with so many using.
Food onsite was good.
Free shots/drinks, good party atmosphere if that’s what you’re after.
AC in the room.
Lockers.
Floors in dorm were cleaned regularly.
Staff were very knowledgeable.
Pod capsule doesn’t have a light.
Nowhere to hang laundry.
Only one bathroom in the dorm (there is two more outside but these are also used by diners, staff etc).
Large dorm rooms (18-20 ppl) was fine but may not be for everyone.
No indoor common room or space to hangout other than the dorm room or outdoor restaurant area.
My pillow was very dirty.
Had a disappointing encounter with the French owner late at night, we moved the water cooler to our table to fill up our drink bottles and he was very rude, accused us of “taking advantage of the locals”, and threatened to have us kicked out for the night.
4.5 / 5.0
Free drinks for half hour every night. Close to beach, social atmosphere.
Showers in the rooms were rubbish. Only two toilets and showers in same cubicles for 20 people dorm.

Arrived in the late evening and was greeted with a lively vibe at the bar. The boat party was definitely worth every penny. I found the boats better than the ones that they use in El Nido + the drinks are unlimited! I also loved all of the stops in the tour. PAUL WAS AN AMAZING PARTY HOST. HE IS SO NICE AND KNEW HOW TO KEEP THE PARTY ALIVE.
5.0 / 5.0
very cute hostel in a nice location with exceptionally friendly and social staff (especially Tom who made the boat tour unforgettable and Luisa who was always down for a nice chat and made the parties so much fun)
5.0 / 5.0
Very accessible, great music at night. Boat party is obviously a never-miss. Had a great time meeting fellow travellers. Just a 30 second walk to the beach. Food is great too. They serve good coffee (ask for French press). Beds are comfy. No light inside the beds though so bring your own. Bedside fans need type A USB cord which initially presented a problem because all my cords were type C.
Rock floor at the shower area was a bit difficult. I got a small cut on my foot.
3.5 / 5.0
A social hostel with good vibes, very much suited if you want a party. Beds are also much larger than usual.
Only 1 or 2 showers per dorm room of 15/20 people, which aren’t great facilities. Difficult to sleep as the music stays on late and backs onto the dorm rooms.
4.0 / 5.0
great place to party, you can get drunk for free if you take advantage of their free cocktails and shots. great place to socialize.
poorly maintained bathrooms that smell. broken shower head on indoor bathroom. no lights in the bunks. overpriced food and laundry service.
4.0 / 5.0
Great party vibes! Staff were lovely and accomodating. The boat party was lots of fun and there was unlimited alcohol so value for money! (I believe it was 1800p?)
The dorms are quite large and the aircon doesn’t reach all of the beds. I stayed on the top bunk in the middle of the room and genuinely thought I was going to pass out. Even with the curtain open there just isn’t enough airflow.

I Wish there was a comfy couch guests can lounge. The chairs in the resto is not comfortable for long siting and chiling. But over all it was a nice place to stay and eat.
I have a very goooood sleep at my bunk bed.

The food is so delicious. And the location of coco rico hostel is very impressive. You can relax here as long as you want.
One thing that for sure that I didnt want is I'm sad to leave this beautiful place.

The place is really for solo travelers. They place is comfortable to stay. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They offer activities to make your stay as a solo traveler worthwhile.
None with the property. But bring enough cash because there are limited ATMs in the town.

Cocorico is definitely a fun hostel to stay at! The dorms are clean and the beds are big! Two pillows and a fleeced blanket were a plus. The staff are really friendly and the owners are nice. Free drinks between 7pm-7:30pm were great and the atmosphere was fun every night
showers were cold but no unusual for the Philippines. The food wasn’t the best and quite expensive. I ate at other places in Port Barton that were cheaper and better quality.

Such a fun social hostel! Staff were very friendly. Free drinks in the bar every night were fun. Live music at the weekends, great vibes in the hostel. Food was also good and beds were clean and comfortable. Booze cruise was 10/10. Best day! Thank you to Albert, the best tour guide. Definitely do the booze cruise daytrip when you stay here.

Since the first moment they made me feel welcome! The attention of the staff and the owners (always available) was super kind. Beds are very comfortable and large size.
At 7 is open bar and a very fun atmosphere is created! Also the specials cocktails of the house are Incredible! For people who travel alone it's perfect cuz quickly you make new friends. Live music gave it a very special touch, they even have a DJ.
I had the pleasure to go to the Boat Party which includes beautiful islands, turtle point, delicious lunch and lots of fun!!!
Thanks to all the CocoRico Team for making my stay in Port Barton amazing!!!

Great social hostel, everyone on the island flocks here for the 7 o’clock free drinks. easy to meet other travellers with everyone playing jenga, beer pong, cards etc. Great boat party and really sound owners. Music is turned off just before 11 so if you wanna get some good kip it’s not too bad either.
didn’t get a light or fan in the bunk. Although the room was pretty cool, had to use my phone light constantly.
3.0 / 5.0
The property is in a great location. The beds are comfortable and spacious, they are also ‘pod style’ which I always like.
There was only one bathroom inside and two outside for 18 people sharing one room, every other person at the property also had to use these bathrooms so it was extremely busy especially at night when there were many many people at the bar. People who weren’t even staying in the dormitory would come in to use the bathroom that we did not appreciate.
The bathrooms also were always untidy & not very clean. They flooded and held dirty water in the shower. You had to stand with one foot in the shower to use the skin.
The security guard at night was an absolute creep. My partner was up late one night watching a football match (UK time) and witnessed him going into the dormitory and opening girls curtains. He was also steaming drunk whilst working and this is unacceptable. On the same night a girl was sleep walking and came outside with no trousers on, my boyfriend helped her back to her room but not before the creepy security guard tried to get her on his moped and take her somewhere.
