Seul point négatif c’est qu’il faut prendre un tuktuk pour ce rendre en ville! Sinon hostel parfait pour les jeunes!

So sad to leave. The entire staff is amazing. They have daily events at night and they organize their own tours, which is a good way to make friends. It’s a bit outside El Nido town, but still a lot of guests come here for the social atmosphere. Also, would give a perfect score if there’s free water refills. Would definitely be back to do the Castaway Expedition with them!

Fijne plek om net buiten het drukke centrum van El Nido te verblijven. Het uitzicht is prachtig aan de zee, goeie sfeer en heel behulpzaam personeel.

Great social hostel with amazing sunset views and daily events that make it easy to meet people. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were spacious, and the restaurant food was great. Big shoutout to EJ, Jasmine, Maya, Edna & Kim for being so fun and welcoming. As one of the pricier hostels in El Nido, it would be nice to have free water or cheaper bottled water, as 80PHP for 1L is expensive. Shower gel and shampoo in the showers would also be a nice touch. Overall, I had a great time here!

Debated so long before booking this and it turned out to be the best decision of the trip. The people here, staff, bar crew, tour guides, all of them were so fun and welcoming. Made real friends, did incredible tours, and came back with the best photos. Trivia Night was a highlight and I even won a free island tour in the lucky draw! Shoutout to Hose, Jerry, Snow, Maya and the whole team. Just book it, you won’t regret it.

Stayed here because I enjoyed the Outpost in Coron and did the expedition with Castaways. I really didn’t love how far it was from everything or that you couldn’t even enter during high tide — and the back entrance is an absolute mess. My room smelled disgusting and I had to move beds because the sockets didn’t work. No fault to the staff, they were incredible and very kind, I just think this hostel has a lot of room for improvements for $25/night.

Love this hostel!! I stayed in outpost in coron and el nido and would highly recommend. The staff are the loveliest hostel staff I’ve ever met, they all remembered my name and made me feel so at home. The social events are amazing, the rooms are so clean and cosy. The bathrooms are kept clean to a great standard. Love it!!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms super clean and spacious although the door didn’t lock but it seemed to be ok. Location is a little out of town but it’s just a short ride on a tricycle. I did the castaway tour with the hostel and it was great as pick up was from the hostel. The hostel is also very social with activities on daily.

No shampo or soap is sad when it is one of the more expensive one, and the location is not very central

I had an amazing time staying 6 nights at the outpost in el nido. The staff were amazing; Edna, Jasmine, Jose, Cassandra, and the amazing Kim. The distance to the town wasn’t an issue either since there were always tuk tuks upstairs waiting. Can’t wait to come back when I do the expedition from Coron to El Nido

I really loved my stay at Outpost. I was on a solo trip and even before I checked in, the staff already made me feel so welcome. I almost canceled my reservation because I was a bit scared of how social it would be, and I also thought this hostel would be more for really young people haha but I ended up meeting a lot of people in their late 20s too. I even ended up extending my stay because I was enjoying it so much. The activities they organize are really fun, and even if you don’t push your...

The hostel is lovely and social but please be careful of any non-bottled water and ice! Multiple of us got really sick with water contamination. The manager was really great and arranged for travel to the clinic and put some signs up but please be aware, especially in the dry months where there is more bacteria in the water.

Great hostel with one of the best sunset views—and free shots! Staff are friendly, food is good, and check-in is smooth. Beds are well-equipped (light bedding, outlet, lamp, towel), and bathrooms are plentiful and clean. It’s very social, with a nightly 11PM town trip. Downsides: lots of stairs (tough with big luggage), no place to hang wet clothes, rooms are spacious but lighting is dim, and it’s a bit far from town so you’ll need paid transport. Overall, a solid stay.

Really nice looking hostel with a social atmosphere! But please be careful of the refillable water the hostel provides and when on the boat trips (we did tour A) as in the 5 days that I stayed here multiple people got unwell and hospitalised due to it being unsafe and dirty.

A little overpriced, but overall a really fun hostel. The social scene and sunsets are definitely the highlight and a big part of why you stay here. They also run games and activities every night, which makes it very easy to meet people and get involved. I also really enjoyed the tours they offer. They were well organized and added a lot to the experience. My main complaint is the showers. Compared to the Outpost Hostel in Coron, the facilities here are noticeably worse. Some showers barely have...

Stayed here the night before the expedition. Hostel looks out onto the beach which is beautiful. For the price the bed linens felt quite cheap would’ve liked something better quality and my charger wouldn’t stay in the wall so I couldn’t charge any of my devices. Also would have like someone to help carry my bag along the beach to the hostel. The tide was in and was almost impossible to carry it in
