+ only the location is good about the property.

- Property was situated in a moss like place which smelled so bad that its hard to continue staying there.This is my first time staying in such property who dint provide water.I was absolutely shocked knowing this.Also, the towels are brown in color and in such bad condition.This hostel ruined my vacation plan as soon as i stepped into the room.Please never book this place.I am highly disappointed.

5 nights debited from the card instead of the 2 booked, lack of any helpfulness or understanding. Rooms below average. Strong recommendation to avoid this hostel. There are many much nicer places to stay without being scammed.

Sorry but during my stay, this is a motel. I requested a transfer to another room because I didn't felt safe. And the room I transferred on also has dudes having sex. I went to Boracay to get some rest but I ended up restless. I didn't felt safe at all so I had to checked out early. I think that's the price I paid.

The bed had ants crawling all over it, woke up with bedbug bites all over my legs&back. The bathroom was very smelly and had mold. I stayed here in July 2023.

Very disappointed with our stay here. Booked it after our stay in Frendz El Nido, however they are no where near similar. Very run down and located near a derelict building site. Would not recommend.

Un des pires hostels que j’ai vu en 10 mois de voyage… Les salles de bains étaient dégoûtantes, il y avait des gros moustiques à l’intérieur et le soir un cafard géant se promenait dans le couloir. On aurait dit un immeuble délabré. Surtout le bâtiment avec les chambres. C’était vraiment impossible pour moi de rester plus d’une nuit et heureusement j’ai pu me faire rembourser une des deux nuits que j’avais réservée en avance.

Wow. I had an amazing time here at Frendz Hostel. This was the best hostel I’ve ever been to. Made so many new friends on the tours I went with Haqqy Life, partnered with the Hostel. I will be going back, I will be staying at Frendz again.

I liked being in the upstairs room where I had my own bed and no bunk. I felt like the rooms were clean, but I opted to use the bathroom in the common area as the one in the room smelled awful and was not very clean. Hostel tried to be social but it was kind of an odd vibe.

+ Staff was very friendly and helpful. Its the best hostel in Boracay. The place to be, even people that weren't staying at Frendz would come to hang out.

It’s located in a very dodgy alley not really safe for a solo traveller.There was no aircon in our room even after complaining 3 days in a row. The drinks and food are quite expensive. Unfortunately there isn’t many pros to being a guest at the hostel due to anyone being able to walk in, usually older men or locals being on the pool table. I’d recommend booking somewhere a lot nicer for similar price and if you’re keen to meet people and party then just head on over in the evening

- Impossível descansar e dormir nesse hostel! Música alta o tempo todo e os quartos não possuem nenhum tipo de isolamento acústico. Mal consegui ouvir a staff na hora do check in… tivemos que conversar gritando.

+ The place has a nice relaxed vibe and the atmosphere is very friendly. The people who work there are always very nice, friendly and welcoming! The “tour services” that they offer are reasonable and very professional! This was my only stay at a “Hostel” on my journey around the world… and it was a very pleasant experience!

- The bar and restaurant is “tourist priced”… but the food was pretty good!
