Tagbalayon Lodging House

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

You have to pay for Everything extra. The rooms a er super Cold and you cant Change the AC, but you just get a super thin „blanker“. When you asked for a second or real blanket, you have to pay! Also the staff is nie really helpful, they didn’t Tell me there is a Shuttle to the Pierc so I had to pay for tuktuk what was more expensive. They were Not helpful or informative at all

Horrible, hostel. Showers and toiletts are tiny and they stink, and the smell also covers the room. The restaurant downstairs is terrible. I might have been unlucky, but the backpackers when I was there were not social. A Scooter is a must for the island in general. There are better accomodations than this in the area.

Facilities were great in the 14 person dorm, spacious and kept clean. Staff were friendly, food in restaurant was good, proximity to Tubod beach was great. Didn’t find it that sociable but that just might be my experience of the place.

16 bed dorms is not for everyone. The common room is also a public restaurant. Really cheap though.

Okay, staff could have been better

The staff were so extremely lovely and caring. They learnt everyone’s names. The restaurant attached was perfect and affordable. All the rooms were and remained clean. No social events though, everyone did their own thing. :)

It was still pretty new when I stayed there but it was a pretty good hostel

Really friendly staff Dorm room was tiny and was really loud at night, had to sit down on the toilet to close the door it was so small! Didn't sleep well Not the most sociable hostel due to the fact the downstairs was a restaurant and no one really chilled upstairs, maybe depends on what group of people are staying at one time! Close to a nice beach and you could hire scooters for 350 pesos a day Security guard every night which made it feel safe

Very friendly and helpful staff, the rooms are clean, they change towels every day, ac in the room but not too cold. just they where working on top off the rooms witch was noisi in the morning and there is not really a nice chill out area. maybe in the future. The food in the restaurant is ok, but cheap

J’ai passé un super séjour que j’ai même prolongé ! L’espace dortoir et salle de bain est très propre (ils font le ménage tous les jours et change les draps tous les jours !). Le restaurant de l’hôtel est très bon et le service de massage est incroyable ! Idéalement situé (à peu près au milieu des endroits d’intérêt donc on ne roule jamais trop longtemps) et personnel très sympathique et aidant.

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.

Excellent hostel! Helpful staff, nice property. Never thought I would love a 16 bed dorm… but it was quiet and nice. Sometimes would get a bit hot at night, but it was fine. Super social hostel and easy to meet people. You will need a motorbike but that is everywhere on this island and you can rent one at the desk

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.

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.
