Papabo Backpackers Mactan

Only stayed for a short time between flights from Cebu. Staff were really welcoming and helpful. There’s an outdoor pool, a pool table and a bar/restaurant so that’s convenient. They provided a towel which was nice. 24/7 reception also very helpful. Would definitely recommend

The location was great for the airport. Pool area nice, food tasty and staff very friendly. No windows in the private room, dorm or shower area on my floor so it all felt very dark and stuffy. Shower area was mixed and didn’t feel very private with just a curtain. Cleanliness could be improved a little.

The Staff is very kind and the homestay is pretty clean, with a good social area

This place is absolutely amazing! We’ve stayed here multiple times and enjoyed it every single time. The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect—great music, a beautiful pool, and an overall relaxing vibe.Benita and the entire team are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making each visit feel special and unique. Their hospitality really stands out.We will definitely be coming back.

really good place to stay near the airport, the common areas are pretty cool and food is decent, it's right opposite to a 7eleven and there is a wonderful bakery there as well, the people of the hostel are welcoming and help you almost immediately if there's any issue

The best hostel in Cebu! If you need a hostel for a layover, it’s 20 mins from the airport. Not. In the centre, the staff and the food are amazing. Beds are so comfy, lovely showers, nice pool. Iv been 4 times and Cannot recommend enough

Das Personal und der Service sind super! Wir hatten das Glück Robert kennenzulernen, der uns mit ganz tollen und besonderen Drinks versorgt hat. Wir hatten jede Menge Spaß mit ihm. Danke dafür! Das Essen im Restaurant ist lecker, es gibt einige deutsche Gerichte und eine wirklich große Auswahl.

Marry was super helpful booking trips and staff was super nice

The hostel is great and the staff is very friendly. Benita was very helpful to me when I needed to find medication. It is close to the airport which is also very convenient. I would definitely recommend staying here

It felt lovely to have hot water coming out of the shower

Great hostel with clean, comfortable rooms and a nice atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and always helpful, making you feel welcome right away. Truly one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! Highly recommended!

great staff, very friendly! had a very nice breakfast there and the dinner food also looks really good, pool table to play, nice clean pool and very good atmosphere

for a stopover place near the airport, the bar was so noisy, and you could hear the music from the bedroom. other than that the place is great, comfy beds, really nice bathrooms and the staff are very helpful with transport etc

Very friendly and helpful staff printed something for me when I asked. Always willing to help very mannerly

the best capsule and clean i visit so far in my life very japan feel and cheapest price. When i have connecting flights always in cebu i direct to stay here

Good stay for a night before a flight nice food

Great stay, amazing facilities and loved the pods, pretty lively downstairs, good atmosphere

Stayed for a night. It was nice to have a bar, restaurant, and pool there for convenience. Rooms were capsule style that were comfy enough. Sockets in the capsule but sometimes my light would not work. Facilities were ok but not the cleanest. It was just an ok for a stopover, but not a social spot.

Really great stay! I wouldn’t say it’s a social hostel, but it’s near an ATM 7/11 and a great place to stay near the airport. The staff (especially Benita) were very helpful to me. Overall great experience

Wonderful staff, cool place. Strongly recommended
