wonderful hostel which felt like family; everyone was super nice - only downside: sometimes water would be out but i think that is an island thing and not a hostel thing. would def recommend staying there

Absolutely loved my stay at Yellow Banana, the whole team that works there makes it feel like home. They made the most amazing family dinners on wednesdays and sundays with game night to get to know people. The dorm beds were super comfy and there’s a kitchen and a bar at the hostel. Wish I could have stayed longer and will absolutely be back. Thank you Yellow Banana🫶🫶

Our stay at Yellow Banana was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of good energy. The place is well-maintained, comfortable, and perfect for meeting amazing people while still feeling at home.A special shoutout to Jhaycee, the manager, who went above and beyond to make our stay even more enjoyable. He was always approachable, attentive, and genuinely cared about the guests. The Yellow Banana team made us feel safe and well taken care of at

Yellow Banana est clairement l’hostel que vous devez choisir pour votre séjour à Siargao. Très bien situé dans le centre de General Luna, propre, calme la nuit, lits confortables. De nombreuses activités sont organisées toutes les semaines. JC et son équipe sont aux petits soins pour que votre séjour se passe au mieux. Le seul problème est qu’une fois que vous y êtes, vous ne voudrez jamais partir.

My favourite place so far. Jhaycee and all of the staff are incredible and truly make you feel at home as a part of their family, cooking for us and including us in activities.

Not very clean, only one toilet per room and the shower is in there as well. Nice family dinner.

I had such a great time staying here! I honestly had so much fun and even met some amazing new friends during my stay. The vibe is really friendly and welcoming, which made everything even better. The staff are all super nice and helpful, especially Jhaycee, who really stood out and made the experience more memorable. Also, I loved that they offer free food every Wednesday and Sunday, such a nice touch! Would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back again 💖

We tried multiple hostels on Siargao and ended up coming back to yellow banana for the whole rest of the trip. Completely other experience than other hostels! You really feel like part of a big family:) We had the best experience with fellow travelers and the hostel staff! Amazing events, you can always reach out for help or simply a chat and really welcoming vibe overall🫶 We left a couple days ago and already want to come back🥲

Amazing hostel, felt really safe and comfortable there. Everyone is really nice and you have the feeling to be part of a big family. Twice at week there is a family dinner with delicious food. Furthermore there are also other social events. Perfect for solo trawler and for people who want to socialise. Thank you Yellow Banana for this amazing time 🫶🏽

What a hostel. 2 years I'm travelling in the world, never been in a hostel that welcoming. The staff members are Filipinos, they considered me and all the guests as part of a big family. The beds are sooo comfy, two pillows, free soap and really quiet. Every Wednesday and Sunday, the staff is cooking for everyone for free, and we have perfect family time. Jhaycee is the manager of the hostel. But he is also a big brother. All the staffs members, Jarred, Joy, Jeremy, Dan, etc. I will never f...

I had an amazing time in Yellow Banana, made lots of new friends with both staff and guests. Highly recommend this hostel as a social place, but not necessarily party-focused.

Lovely staff members, cute dogs and the family dinner was amazing (can’t believe they didn’t charge extra for this). Unfortunately, the bathroom was 90% of the time filthy. There was a bathmat in there which was not cleaned for my entire 6 night stay. It was soaked with mud and sea salt. Toilet roll also not replaced enough. Did not speak with anyone in my room really or the social area, did not feel much of an atmosphere, although the staff were so nice and I could tell were trying to inclu...

The staff are incredibly kind, friendly and helpful, and host a fantastic social calendar to help people get to know one another - the family dinner nights twice per week in particular are great. The facilities are poor/limited, unfortunately, and so to is the cleanliness. Our room flooded during a storm, creating a damp and mould issue. The showers (cold) barely function and I have never seen so many mosquitos. Amazing atmosphere but lacking facilities and cleanliness, in summary.

My first time traveling solo, and I don’t regret choosing Yellow Banana as my first hostel in Siargao. What makes this place special is how they treat you not just as a guest, but as family. I’m really grateful to have found what feels like my second home. I also loved their family dinners (twice a week!), which made the experience even more special. As an introvert, I appreciated how their activities helped me open up and connect with other people. Highly recommended!

Lovely staff who ran a super fun family dinner with games - made it easy to make friends and get involved. Bad cleanliness, no soap or loo roll in bathrooms. It was very rainy while we were there which obviously isn’t their fault but they were aware our room was about to flood which indicates it happens a lot. And it did. to try and prevent the flooding they added sealant to the floor but didn’t move my friends stuff resulting in her bag and some clothes covered in sealant which has ruined ...
