Tagbalayon Lodging House

One of my favorite hostels for sleeping and comfort, not very social as their family dinner is on Tuesday nights.

Lovely hostel. Very clean with lovely staff. Would highly recommend.

One of my favourite places that I stayed in The Philippines. The hostel has a weekly Family Dinner FOR FREE with karaoke and music, fantastic atmosphere and a great event to meet people. Common areas are also really nicely maintained and social. I also really liked the restaurant, great prices and some of the best food in San Juan.

One of our favourites after 6 months backpacking! The weekly family dinner with free rum coke and karaoke was so much fun. The restaurant has really lovely food and the staff are so welcoming and friendly - really felt at home here. Only a 2 minute walk from the beach as well with super nice sunsets and snorkelling. Loved it!

This hostel has everything!! The staff are amazing, the food in their restaurant js amazing and the room has all the details you want in a hostel! Would recommend to anyone visiting the island!

close to the amazing white beach! great shared spaces, great dorms, good restaurant below... this place was great nothing to complain about... a bit far from the busy area if you wanna go out... but that didn't bother me

I never leave these reviews but this hostel was perfect. By far the best one I have stayed in on my Philippines trip so far. Staff are amazing and so helpful with any question or issue. There was a family dinner and drinks on the day we arrived which was delicious and so much fun. The beds were spacious and comfy, with the cleanest toilets, showers and dressing area I’ve experienced. My only slight issue was that it was so dark in the dorms 24/7.

Great Hostel, The 16 bed dorm is spacious and quiet and the bathrooms and showers are good! The food at the restaurant is not that good but have ok prices! The staff is nice and Will welcome you with drinks When you arrive!

Stayed during a typhoon, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Restaurant kept open throughout, comfy beds with charging and bedside lights. Nice to have separate bag storage.

100€ have been stolen, I accuse nobody but it’s really bad Hostel….

Excelente.

We stayed in private bungalows that are located about 150-200 meters away from the main hostel/restaurant/reception, which unfortunately made the area feel a bit secluded. Aside from this, the service was great, rooms were cleaned daily, it’s close to the beautiful Tubod Beach, and the restaurant is good.

Lovely hostel & staff. Restaurant served really good food & was good value for money. We were able to rent scooters & snorkelling equipment from the hostel themselves. Rooms were clean and spacious. Only negative was WiFi wasn’t amazing. Would definitely stay here again.

Nous avons passé un super séjour ici ! L’emplacement est juste parfait a exactement deux minutes a pieds du plus bel emplacement pour le snorckling. Le personnel était adorable, et l’espace commun est vraiment devenu notre petite safe place. Le restaurant est tres tres abordable et très bon ! Je vous recommande vraiment de rester à tagbalayon, notre vrai coup de coeur du séjour !!

I’m very happy about the place and I extended many nights. Would recommend this place for people with scooters, a little far to walk places

nice place too get your head down cool rooms could do with lockers 0 social though.

Amazing stay. The staff are incredibly nice and thoughtful. The food was great. My only complaint is the wifi could’ve been a little better. But overall this place deserves a 10 rating.

Great option for an individual room in a hostel type environment, good restaurant with a wide variety of food, super helpful staff, big clean room.

We really enjoyed our stay. The dorms are very clean and tidy (the beds are even made everyday!!). Plus, there’s a great hangout spot to chill in. The restaurant has some delicious (and very reasonably priced) food!! The staff is very friendly and helpful in planning your activities on the island. We rented scooters and arranged our tuktuk transfer to the port through the hostel, both services were great!!

Comfy hostel, my dorm was pretty empty so not the most social but it wasn’t a busy time of year. Good location and free coffee in deluxe dorm!
