    A magical oasis, surrounded by nature and beautiful dogs. The most luxurious hostel.

    Absolutely nothing!

    When first arriving at Fable, expect to be greeted with cooled refreshment towels and two beautiful dogs. The property is truly an oasis, covered with an abundance of plants and nature; this place is the perfect spot to relax and recharge from the chaos of travelling. Ervin, the owner is one of the most friendliest hosts i’ve met since staying in hostels. His knowledge about the island and activities is exceptional, meaning you can plan you’re trip hassle free. The hostel is social orientated, and Ervin often organises restaurant outings for his guests, a great to meet others, especially if you’re a solo backpacker. The facilities are above average, including loose leaf herbal tea (hibiscus range), coffee and plates and utensils should you need them. Rooms are clean and comfortable and showers and bathroom space is spacious and homely. I should also mention there is ample room to practice yoga should that be part of your routines. This hostel is by far one of the best hostels i’ve stayed in. A little taste of home. Thank you for being the best host, Ervin :)

    Everything about our stay at fable was amazing, the rooms were massive and spotless, the toilets were always clean. The hostel has such a calming and chilled vibe with free coffee and tea every morning. Ervin made us feel so welcome as soon as we walked and gave us lots of tips and even organised a tour for us. An absolute must stay if your going to Siquijor!

    I don’t even know where to start because everything was fabulous. the rooms were so spacious and clean, beds were very comfy. the hostel is very close to Paliton beach which is very nice and also just a short ride to San Juan. Ervin, the host, is such a lovely person and wants everyone to feel happy and comfortable. he gave us so many recommendations and was always open to have a chat. also the two little dogs running around in the garden made it even more special 🐶 I’ve never felt more welcomed in a hostel than at fable!

    Ervin is a fantastic host. The hostel he has built from the ground up is perfect for relaxing and socialising in the gazebo, and getting around to the best restaurants, beaches, and sights on the island. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms were always clean to a high standard. The grounds are beautiful with many native and tropical plants. A group of us went out to dinner and did activities with our host. The two dogs Agra and Gozo are a great addition providing endless entertainment I’d recommend this hostel to any type of traveller, don’t stay anywhere else in Siquijor than Fable 👍

    One of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed at! Ervin (the owner) is lovely, helpful and very professional. The rooms are super spacious, AC works really well, everything is perfectly clean. Very social atmosphere but also quiet during the night so you can get a good night’s sleep. There are also two adorable doggies which makes it even better! Thank you Ervin!

    Scooter rental is recommended. Restaurants and activities in Siquijor are in general not walking distance.

    One of my favorite hostels I ever stayed :) Ervin is such a great host. The hostel has a great overall design with spacious dorms and nice hangout areas to chill & meet people. Even after extending my stay I was sad to leave.

    Scooter hire is recommend as the location is a 30 min walk from the main San juan restaurants.

    Ervin is amazing!! He has so much knowledge about all things Siquijor, the Philippines and the world. He is a fantastic host, so helpful and someone who feels like you’ve known forever. There is coffee and toast in the morning (coffee is amazing), dorms are so spacious and have aircon. Bathrooms were always spotless and there is a free collection of toiletries for use. The hostel is very green with a big garden, wifi is spotty but it is all over the island. Ervin taught me how to ride a scooter and organised transport to and from the port. Ervin is honestly incredible, and the hostel is so comfortable, I can’t wait to come back.

    Ervin/ Fable Hostel is incredible! He makes sure you have an amazing time in Siquijor by showing you the main highlights of the island, providing you with all the hotspots around, and helping out where necessary. The hostel is one of those you don't want to leave anymore because it has everything: Spacious dorm rooms (including hooks, space for your bags, lockers, bars for your towel, and AC), nice facilities, and breakfast to get you started. It's nearby all the important spots and just perfect for a stay in Siquijor.

    Expensive compared to other accomodations, definitely not the best value for money. And as other people mentioned, there was a rather superficial vibe (might just have been a coincidence based ln the people at that time though)

    Really big dorms, clean and comfy. Organized dinners to meet people.

    I liked how the hostel accommodated my transportation needs from the port and around the island the next day. I appreciated how kind they were in ensuring I got to the places I was hoping to get to on the island on time and by the most convenient means possible. Although restaurants and other resorts are nearby, I wish the hostel had its own in-house kitchen; that would have made one's stay there more at home and convenient. The facilities and shared bathroom and toilet are clean and well-maintained. The owner (Ervin) and his staff were friendly and easy-going, too.
