a naked guy came into my room at 5am, peed on the floor, made sex noise and tried to get into a girl's bed. I told the reception, they came about 40minutes later, did nothing. Overall the hostel is nice, noisy but nice if you want to meet people. I juste felt so insecure as a woman.

We stayed at the beachfront property in a private room and it had insane views! Rooftop pool was very crowded at sunset but there are tables away from the pool which were spacious. Very seamless check in experience, people were lovely!

On the good side: Lovely staff, great restaurant and nice roof. On the downside: Dirty rooms and bathrooms, 0% Mobile service inside the room and 80% of time no WIFI as well, not many common areas - no areas to avoid party, smoking outside the building only.

A really cool, social hostel with a great atmosphere and lots of activities to do. The rooms/beds were comfortable and clean. A great place to stay if you’re solo/ want to meet people- everyone was very friendly. The staff were helpful & friendly, and the hostel is located in the heart of El Nido town.

The staff are very friendly and helpful, but the hostel needs to change its policy because too many people from outside are coming here. There's no point in paying $25 here; you could stay in a $10 another hostel and come here to socialize.Super noisy at 9:30am every morning all people gather there for tours

Great social hostel particularly as a solo traveller. Amazing bar and pool and spacious beds. It’s right in the middle of el nido so perfect for going out or exploring in the day. An amazing start to the Philippines!

Really beautiful hostel with an amazing atmosphere. Extremely sociable with a lot of seating downstairs in the evenings. However you will be waken up at 10am with chanting & we heard locals arguing in the room next door for hours. It’s clean & the staff are very helpful but it’s definitely not worth 20 pound a night! I would stay at a different hostel & just go over in the evenings.

A good hostel with super nice facilities. Downside is the social atmosphere. Maybe too big for solo travelers and common area are not made for easy social hangouts with fellow travellers

Cannot recommend this place more. I understand why it’s so popular. The rooftop pool is amazing. And the communal area downstairs is perfect, always people and things happening there!! I didn’t attend any hostel events/parties but they seemed so well organised and popular. The rooms are always very well maintained and cleaned. And the staff were beyond brilliant! The location is dead centre in town so super convenient. Just overall, an amazing stay and vibe!

One of my favourite hostels ever!! Very social, amazing people, welcome drinks, great view, nightly social events, beds with curtains. Note: no elevator and there’s 5 floors and in some rooms there’s no wifi/service.
