Nous avons passé trois jours Nous avons une forte suspicion de punaises de lit. Au troisième jour et dernier jour nous avions des boutons typiques de punaises de lit. La chambre paraissait pourtant très propre, et on nous a bien confirmé après notre départ qu’il n’y en avait pas, après inspection et nettoyage de la chambre.

Had some issues: Landry- 7kg free washing for groups of 4, but lost 2 items in 2 different washes and denied ever having them… Do not do laundry here. Our entire room of 12 had bed bugs. Staff did change our room and clean the sheets but still not great. Not much chill space that was safe from the rain (not good in rainy season). Everything is cash- from room payment to bar tab. Location isn’t incredible- around 10-15mins walk from town. Tuktuk = 30-50pesos per person.

Vibe Analysis
Outpost Hostel - Coron runs on its rooftop pool and bar: sea views, sunset energy, music, games, and a social setup that makes it easy to find a crew before or after a Coron boat day. The place leans young, lively, and activity-heavy, with nightly events, trivia, karaoke-style nights, and a rooftop that can flip from chill pool hangout to party lab pretty fast. The hostel is also tightly tied into Coron trips. The Super Ultimate boat tour and Castaway-style expedition are a big part of the stay here, and Tasha/Taisha is a high-energy guide. Booking tours, vans, laundry, scooter rental, food, drinks, and an ATM can all be handled on site, which makes the hostel feel like a self-contained base rather than just a bed. Rooms and dorms can be clean, spacious, and comfortable, with good air con in some setups, large lockers or under-bed storage in places, and plenty of showers in the better-run moments. Staff are often warm, helpful, and personal, with standout bits like birthday help, hospital help from security, and checkout cookies with handwritten notes. This is not the quiet, cheap, barefoot-minimalist version of Coron. It is social, organized, sometimes loud, and often pricier than nearby options. Pick it for rooftop momentum, fast social mixing, and tour logistics; think twice if sleep, low costs, room privacy, or a calm work setup are the mission.
Signals to check
- The hostel sits a little outside central Coron, usually around a 10-20 minute walk or a short tuktuk ride, and the walk can involve a busy road with limited pavement.
- Noise can be a real issue, especially hallway door slams, late-night drunk shouting, loud music, and private rooms near the rooftop or dorm corridors.
- Value is divisive: rooms, food, breakfast, tours, airport transfers, scooter rental, snorkel or kayak add-ons, towels, and the on-site ATM can feel expensive.
- Payment can be awkward. Cash may be needed for major charges, card payment may not be reliable, and the on-site ATM has drawn complaints about fees or card trouble.
- WiFi may be limited to common areas or weak in rooms, so this is a shaky pick for remote work.
- Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent. There are repeated problems around mold, musty rooms, bathroom design, missing soap or shampoo, toilet paper gaps, water pressure, AC control, hot rooms, and a few serious bedbug problems.
- Outside food and drinks may be restricted, and there may be no shared kitchen, which can be frustrating when leaving early or managing diet needs.
- Tour and transport logistics are mixed: plenty of trips are fun, but there are also problems with overbooking, late departures, unclear extra charges, subcontracted tours, refund disputes, and airport-transfer timing.
