Garpeza Backpacker

Really lovely hostel, no bunk beds which was great! A cute area where you can chill on beanbags, free drinking water and a cute bar. The showers were your typical budget hostel showers but I liked that they were away from the rooms. It’s the perfect hostel for chilling and in a great location. Best of all was the staff, super friendly and helpful, thank you so much for your hospitality 🫶🏻

Great property and friendly staff

The staff is very friendly and the room is very spacious but the hostel needs a renovation. The rooms are boiling hot and the shower water is freezing

Personal ist super nett. Betten sind in Ordnung. leider etwas viele Mücken im Dorm gewesen, weil die Tür mittags auf ist. Gab diverse Mücken Fights. Dementsprechend sind manchmal auch die Wand aus, könnte man ausbessern. Lage super, weil nicht so laut zum schlafen. Chill area auch gut.

I really enjoyed this hostel and can't really fault it. My only comments would be no locks on the bedroom doors (but you can padlock your belongings in a locker) and it's not theeee most social. But great location, comfy beds and clean!

Its a good hostel, the bathrooms are clean and the room is ok. Just the bed is too small and i am 156cm. But its a good hostel.

Very good value for money. Place is very clean and comfortable. Double room has enough space and mattress is very comfortable. They have good WiFi as well.

Super cute hostel with good vibes. The staff are so so kind and helpful. Close to bus station and beach! We really enjoyed our stay here :)

Ein gute Unterkunft mit einer guten Lage. In dem Zimmer gab es sehr viele Mücken aber es war ein schönes Hostel und wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Das Personal ist toll!!

Le meilleur staff que j’ai croisé, gentil, aidant et ça semble naturel! Le salon commun est dans une cour intérieure, il est super confortable avec des coussins sur les bancs et est à l’abri du soleil. On n’entend aucun son extérieur lorsqu’on est dans les chambres. Je recommande vivement!

It’s okay. Not the best bathrooms or facilities in general. If you have the money to choose another hostel I would go for it. They turn of the Aircon between like 12-5 pm without mentioning it anywhere on their website which I think is Superbad. Not paying that amount of money for a dorm without AC in 30 degrees heat. Go elsewhere!

Lovely staff and clean rooms! Not very sociable but overall a nice stay :-) The pillows are suuuper hard though, suggestion would be to have a few extra softer ones for people with back trouble, I wasn’t able to sleep much cause had to sleep with no pillow at all.

Nice hostel, our room was super clean. Didn't love that you could smoke right in the main hangout area (but I am Canadian and it's just not as common). Super quick walk to food and the beach. Easy to book transport to El Nido/Puerto princessa through the hostel.

Great place to stay. Close to everything, friendly staff, decent dorms, nice comon area... it's kinda simple but convenient.

Great hostel I would highly recommend! Really nice chilled atmosphere and people were sociable in the lounge area which had good WiFi and plug sockets and a nice outdoors vibe whilst being shaded. Staff super helpful and lovely. Great having 2 toilets and 2 showers in a dorm too so you didn’t have to wait for it.

Very sweet hostel! The staff is super friendly and cares for you and the place. Nice chill out area and I love the location because it’s a little more in the local area and not in the busiest tourist street but still in a great location.

Overall the location was great but the room and social space weren’t anything special

Good hostel. Has want you need. Good location.

Stayed at Garpeza Hostel in Port Barton for a few nights and it was an absolute gem for budget travelers exploring Palawan. The hostel is clean, cozy, and perfectly located for beach access and island hopping tours, with comfortable dorms, reliable WiFi, and a chill communal area that’s great for meeting fellow backpackers. What truly sets Garpeza apart is the outstanding staff—they’re friendly, helpful, and go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Special shoutout to Joseph, who ...

Great hostel, rooms were clean and staff were super friendly. Port Barton is tiny so the location is great in most places you stay. Air con in the private room was very loud which was one of the only downsides.
