Mehr Freundlichkeit und Bemühen von der Besitzerin. Es waren meistens nur die Kinder bei der Rezeption und man hatte lange Wartezeiten wenn man etwas brauchte. 2 Badezimmer sind viel zu wenig für alle Gäste!! Achtung Bettwanzen! Zu wenig Platz in den Zimmern für die Anzahl der Gäste. Zimmer und Sanitäranlagen waren nicht sauber. Generell wäre viel zu renovieren....

I had a great stay at Screaming Gecko, the staff were very helpful and the location was very close to everything we needed to get to. The rooms were nice as well

worst hostel I ever stayed in. We found our that our rom had bed bugs at 2am. we wanted to get a different room but there was no one at the reception and the number we could call didn't pick up either. we didn't get a refund for any of the nights we slept there with the bed bugs. we also had to put everything we had including bags in the laundry and we got no compensation for it either. apparently they have been having bed bugs for a long time already but don't tell anyone or do anything bout it

DONT STAY HERE!!!!!! BEDBUGS EVERYWHERE AND STAFF DOES NOT CARE. This was the worst hostel I’ve even been in during g my 4 months of travel. The staff laughed at us when we showed them the bedbugs in the room, they refused any for on refund and did not take us serious!!!! I had to leave early so I texted them about this matter requesting a refund but they just accused me of disrupting check in (while I was not even in the property????) and then they stopped replying. They are unprofessional.

Das Privat Zimmer war nicht so sauber und das Türschloss hat nicht funktioniert. Nach mehrfachen Reperaturversuchen mussten wir unsere Tür dann mit unserem normalen Zahlenschloss verschließen, weil anscheinend ein neues Schloss erst bestellt werden musste.

Absolute Enttäuschung, bei der Ankunft bekommt man von anderen direkt gesagtvdas Bettwanze gefunden worden. Dann zum wesentlichen, Das Hostel ist komplett unstrukturiert und die Mitarbeiter völlig ungähig. Es sind keine locker vorhanden und nichts funktioniert. Ein Bad für 20 Personen. Sauberkeit katastrophal. Könnte noch ewig weiter schreiben

The structure Is very nice, especially the outside part. The cleaning is not the best, but they ask you to leave your shoes/flip flops outside, which Is not great, especially in the bathrooms. The staff was nice, but they were not always there, which resulted in a bit of confusione before the tour. I think It could be a great hostel if maybe It was a bit more take care of, maybe having more people working there? On the other hand It Is very cheap. Also the 4 people dorm Is outside the structure,...

A really cool family ran hostel, I stayed in the huts which were actually more comfortable than expected, the building itself is really cool and the staff were so lovely, kind and accommodating & will help you with whatever you need. The facilities (toilets and showers) were a little scarce / basic but you can tell there’s constant work being put in to improve them, and the pool more than makes up for it! great location too in the center but still quiet. I ended up extending! thank you 💕

If i could give this hostel an 11/10 I would. I absolutely loved it here! Right in the center of town and super easy to get everywhere. It has a lovely relaxed but super social atmosphere and everyone I met was lovely. The BEST part of the hostel though, is JOY the beautiful woman who runs it - everyone who works there welcomes you with smiles and good vibes!! xxx

I loved my stay at screaming gecko, the staff are all lovely, however sometimes hard to track down. The kitchen was out of operation over my stay, but it was Easter weekend. Joy made us feel like part of the family and is such an incredible host, if I am back in Coron I will definitely stay again 🫶

Great hostel with nice common areas. Clean overall and specially the toilets and showers. Not a party hostel but still social. Close to nice restaurants and small shops! Perfect if your goal in Siargao is to surf due to its location near some of the best surf spots for all levels.

I enjoyed my stay here, the bed was comfortable and the pool was very nice. And the staff was very friendly.. however, it took a long time to check in because staff was rarely around the check in desk. I waited 30 minutes one day to trip book a boat tour and nobody assisted me, I ended up leaving and booking somewhere else. Also, my bed didn’t come with a curtain as described.
