Lionfish Backpackers Malapascua

highly recomended

Really nice staff and a nice common area but a weird smell in the room and the bathroom was never really clean

The staff were absolutely lovely, great location and price. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful stay at Lionfish. Super comfortable and truly felt like home. Rebecca and Joy-ann, the staff, are so lovely and friendly. A home away from home!

Sehr nette Gastgeberinnen. Einfache Unterkunft - was natürlich der Lage auf einer Insel geschuldet ist. Privatzimmer sind Basthütten Tür an Tür mit der Rezeption. WLAN schlecht. Dusche kalt und kaum Wasserdruck - de facto bucket shower. Man trifft Menschen und es gibt einen Gemeinschaftsbereich. Insgesamt einfach aber gut für den Preis. Würde wieder bleiben :)

Amazing atmosphere! The place is managed by two lovely girls, sweet and smiling! It’s located close to the Mercado (the food is the best!) and to the port. Malapascua is a small island so everything is close. Recommend it!

Best hostel ever :) Rebecca and Joy are amazing hosts, the rooms are clean, the shower works really good, there’s a nice common terrace to meet other travelers, the vibe is really awesome! Also book your diving with the shop they recommend, dive nation, amazing dive masters and really good equipment Love you girls, see you again soon :)

I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely stay again if in Malapascua. It’s basic but very cheap so didn’t mind. No atmosphere but that’s because it’s a dive area so 90% of people are up at 5/6am most days which is to be expected. Friendly and helpful hosts.

The family that runs the hostel is so nice and friendly! The beds are comfortable but they wobble a little, especially in the top bunk. There are no curtains or outlets in some beds. The bathroom needs updates, but all was clean. No towels, you need to pay for one if you need. They have a small kitchen and fridge you can use as well as free water.

Great location, kind and helpful owners, clean, comfortable bed

Great hostel, peaceful, clean room & bathroom, comfy bed, absolutely amazing staff. I booked for 2 nights but extended almost for a week.

Wifi pas génial mais l’hostel est attachant car familial et chill

Very good for the price! Only thing is no curtains between the bunk beds but we didn’t mind! Enough showers and toilets and they together with the room was cleaned everyday. Staff is super kind and really make you feel at home! Laundry next door for good price and you can tap drink water which is a nice service! Definitely recommend :)

Sehr süßes Hostel und unglaublich freundliches Personal. Das einzige was man verbessern könnte ist das Wlan, was leider sehr langsam war. Ich würde aber jederzeit wiederkommen und hab mich sehr willkommen gefühlt.

Génial ! J’ai pris une chambre solo pour 5 nuits et c’était niquel, hyper bien placé, Joy est adorable, vraiment top top j’ai très bien dormi dans ma petite cabane 🫶🏻

Everyone was really nice with me, they take care a lot of your staying. Good common area, very nice spot, 4/5 minutes walk from the beach. Recommended :)

Great can only recommend. The people who work there are wonderful

Loved this place. Amazing price for a spacious bamboo hut, well located in the middle of the island. But Joy and Rebecca were the ones who made it a great stay. They were super friendly and incredibly helpful with tips around the island. Had to extend a day since a storm cancelled the ferries, but I was happy to stay there another night!

Comfortable beds and very reasonable. Missing curtains but everything else is perfect. They are building a patio with chairs for social area.

El personal muy agradable y para la ubicación y el lugar, buena calidad precio. Muy recomendable.
