J’ai dû quitter lhostel à cause de punaises de lit
Booked 4 nights there. Actually I made some other friends so didn’t really live the hostel. Although there was a WhatsApp group, I didn’t get answers when asking about boat tour. I thought I could manage room without fan but actually I couldn’t. In general it looked a bit roosty and slightly outside from the center so I decided to leave after 2 nights and booking somewhere else last minute. Not sure about social life there as I was never around. Toilette and showers were ok
This is the only review u need to reed. This is a party hostel which you only go to if you are 1 british and 2 not great with alcohol. The staff can not care less about you unless you are drinking with them. The staff were also drunk every night we were there and couldn’t even give me the right WiFi password. The other guests were loud as hell every night and came in almost black out drunk and woke us up. The toilets feels like a public restroom in the middle of Manila.
Rooms are cramped with no air, stains on bed sheets, every time we asked for a drink at the bar it wasn’t available as the bar hadn’t been restocked. Overall the place felt really unclean, the laneway down to the hostel is full of rubbish and smells, kind of setting the tone for the place. Due to it being on the beach there’s a lot of sand everywhere, personal preference but not for me. Some of the volunteers were nice and friendly - angel, Finn, carol. But overall wouldn’t recommend.
What a dump! I stayed here for 2 nights because the other hostel I booked in El Nido was booked out for those 2 nights. This hostel, at 1600 pesos a night, prices itself as a premium hostel, but it is anything but! This is the most expensive hostel I stayed at at the Philippines, but yet it is somehow the worst! The rooms are dirty and cramped! The AC is turned off during the day and there are no fans in the room, so if you wish to rest in your room longer, you get completely drenched in sweat...
Wij hadden geen goede ervaring met het hostel. De kamer is onhandig klein, er was nauwelijks licht en het is er vies. De deur van de dorm was daarnaast altijd open en iedereen kan het hostel binnenlopen. De keuken had bijna niets, ook geen wasmiddel. Ook sliep er een straatkat in een van onze bedden in de dorm. We zouden het niet aanraden.
Dirty. dirty sheets, dirty rooms. Cockroaches all over. No Internet in the room. Too noisy. The only good thing is the view.
La noche anterior nos cancelaron la primera noche de la reserva dejándonos sin sitio dond dormir, después llegamos y habia una persona viviendo en nuestra habitación con un montón de basura en el suelo y las camas deshechas, luego llegamos a la noche y encontramos a 2 personas teniendo relaciones sexuales en la habitación (no tienen llave las habitaciones). El personal nos empezó a vacilar, haciendo gestos obscenos y diciendonos q nos tomaramos una cerveza. Hay q cruzar descalzo mar para l...
L’hostel est située sur une côté accessible en Tuktuk ou scooter uniquement à marée basse car il faut traverser la plage. Il y a que cette plage qui permet d’accès à l’hôtel c'est absolument pas pratique. Les dortoirs sont sales, poussières et toiles d’araignées partout. Les matelas sont épais comme une feuille de papier, on sent les barreaux du sommier. Les chambres sentent le renfermé et son minuscule donc pas de place pour mettre ses affaires. Bien trop cher pour ce que...
Lo unico bueno a destacar el peronal. Por otro lado, deja mucho que desear el hostel en si y no se como tiene tan buenas valoraciones. A lo mejor es por el tipo de viajero que va, si no te importa dormir en habitaciones con poca ventilacion y mal olor y duchas con setas y gusanos es tu hostel! Vimos gente disfrutando del hostel sin problema, no digo que puedas ser tu uno mas, pero a mi no me gustó. Pedimos cancelar dos noches y accedieron sin problema, por esa parte bien.

Beautiful location and atmosphere! We loved watching the sunset on the bean bags right on the beach. However, I booked for my friend and i and we stayed in separate buildings but didn’t know that until post check in. They were out of ice the whole time we stayed there so we couldn’t order many of the drinks. By night they were out of drinking water and didn’t have any when we woke up either. Additionally, it says breakfast is included/free but that is only for 1 pancake.
One of my favourite hostels I kept extending my stay. AC is off during the day which dose suck cause there’s no where really to cool off. Only a 16m walk to the main area. Overall grate time grate staff and people
Das OIA Hostel war meine erste Unterkunft in den Phillipinen und vom ersten Moment an magisch! Von der Chill Area kann man manchmal Schildkröten im Wasser direkt vor dem Hostel beobachten und der Sonnenuntergang ist absolut einmalig. Dieser Ort hat so viele wunderschöne kreative Details und man findet alles was man braucht! Mein absolutes Highlight waren die Mitarbeiter, sie haben meinen Aufenthalt so besonders gemacht und ich habe mich stets sehr willkommen gefühlt! Danke :) Ich komme wiede...
awesome staff, amazing vibe and perfect location just out of the main town
We really enjoyed our stay at the hostel. The whole crew was so helpful and kind. The overall atmosphere in the hostel was outstanding. It’s not located in the main area of El Nido but this is not an issue. You can reach it in 10 minutes by foot. It is also a scenic walk. Thats a tiny price to pay to be right at the beach front.
In overall it is a great Hostel with a nice view! Mattresses aren’t comfortable since they’re really thin The common area is big and offers a lot of socialising activities like cards, games or 8-pool

I had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this hostel The staff and volunteers are really helpful and welcoming A special thank you to Paul for teaching me how to play chess
This was an amazing hostel away from the chaos in El Nido. Super chill vibes , staff were so so friendly and daily activities. We actually barely Left the hostel because it was so amazing
Great vibe an stunning location. Truly amazing staff the only negative is the beds/ac but supposedly they’re replacing soon. Also showers have hot water which is great
I loved this place! I was only there for a night but would have loved to stay longer. Super chill vibe. Outdoor bathrooms/showers but worked great! Dorms can be a bit small but never felt too hot or anything. A lot of the staff are volunteers and we’re so lovely! Right on the beach which was so cute and the nets/hammocks everywhere were such a vibe. A little out of the main town but not too far. And the surrounding neighbourhoods was a lot more laid back than in town. Definitely would book aga...
A great place to stay. The Irish leprechaun Fin at reception went above and beyond to accommodate his customers.
Es war schön, aber das Zimmer sehr klein und wenig Platz für alles was man brauchte. Der vibe trotzdem sehr gut
I had such a great stay at OIA Beach Hostel! The people there are incredibly friendly and open.They really make the place feel welcoming and relaxed. The common area is honestly the best part. It’s right by the beach with the most beautiful view. Watching the sunsets from there is just perfect and something I’ll definitely remember. Overall it’s just a really special place with a great vibe. I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend staying here!

This hostel has a unreal vibe and view of the bay of El Nido. You will keep wanting to extend your stay here. Great hang out area and always something to do. Shout out Finn, Angel, Milly, Stanley, Noi, and all everyone else for making my here incredible!
Very nice location with AMAZING views! The sunset was one of the best sunsets I have ever seen in my life! Just didn‘t find it as social, but might be just a matter of timing
Not social at all. The showers were bad, you couldn’t adjust the temperature. You could not lock the doors, you didn’t get a key so anyone could walk in. The ac never worked properly, it was so hot in the rooms. We could never turn the lights off so it would always be on until so late, some days 2 in the morning. They say they have a no sex policy and you get fined, but apparently that does not apply for the staff, they woke me up every night I stayed there and cats that ran into the rooms.
Buen alojamiento! Las zonas comunas estan super bien. El personal es super amable y el ambiente es muy bueno :)) Buena ubicacion, a 10min andando del centro y enfrente de la playa. Tiene muy buenas vistas. Me ha encantado :)) Como contra, las habitaciones son pequeñas y no hay mucho espacio. La cama no es la más comoda.
schlechtes hostel, betten waren schlecht und duschen auch . aber schöne aussicht
