The bed felt a bit unstable and the bathrooms were often wet due to showering/bidet and had a few spiders.

Very nice vibe, great location and such nice people. Also a bonus with the kitchen.

The room is a little on the smaller size but not a major issue

Great hostel, very clean. Very small which led to it being very homely and quiet! Very comfortable beds and would highly recommend

Only downside is there are mosquitoes in open areas and sometimes inside the rooms (only a few) but it is understandable tho. This is a common this for most hostels in Moalboal.

This is my new fave hostel in Moalboal. It's close to Panagsama center but the area is quiet. I was working on my first night here (1AM-10AM) and they have very fast and stable internet connection and comfortable chairs and tables at their balcony. Their beds are spacious and comfortable and dorm rooms are not so crowded (4 pax each dorm). Common areas are clean and tidy as well as comfort rooms.

A tad far from the beach, but still only a few minutes walk (and besides, all the positives more than make up for it).

Staff was very nice and friendly. Excellent WiFi connection. There's even a well equipped kitchen, a rare sight in southeast Asia.

The beds are quite wobbly and it was a bit noisy during the night with music, but that’s the case for most of the accommodations near the main street.

Amazing location (close to the main street, beach, and restaurants). Spacious dorms and really nice and tidy common spaces. The bathrooms were kept clean.

Nice hostel in walking distance to everything in Moalboal. Nice that there was a fridge. The canyoneering tour organized through the hostel was so good!

Great staff, always willing to help. They respond very quickly either on booking or WhatsApp. Not a big hostel, but still very easy to socialize if you travel solo. Great location, very close to the beach where you can watch sardines and turtles. Cozy atmosphere which makes you feel like at home. We also had a free dinner on Thursday which was amazing! The owners cooked it themselves for us so we could eat it with the whole family and then spend some time together. Really recommend, if I ever go to Moalboal again, I’ll definitely stay there

I had a fantastic stay in this hostel for five days. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like home. The entire place was exceptionally clean, and the beds were super comfortable. Also there is aircon in the rooms. Thanks to April and Christine, they were friendly and helpful. The hostel also has a kitchen which is a big plus for backpackers, and the free drinkable water and coffee were much appreciated. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone who wants to stay in Moalboal.

Room is a little small but was great value and works well for a short stay!

Great location, great air con - its a bed in a small room, and it’s exactly as described - perfect for a short stay in Moalboal

I like how practical the place is… you have everything you need: kitchen, hot shower, private room with work space… April may, the staff, is simply lovely… (and yes that is her full name) thanks so much for the delightful stay. Cheers

none so far. It's perfect!

I recently stayed at the Island Vibes Hostel, and it was an experience that exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt at home, providing helpful tips about the local area and ensuring everyone was comfortable. The hostel is situated in a prime location, just a short walk from major attractions and public transport. This made it incredibly convenient to explore the city without the hassle of long commutes. There are also plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shops nearby, which added to the overall convenience. The dormitory rooms are clean, comfortable, and secure. Each bed comes with its own reading light, power outlet, and locker, providing a good balance of privacy and security. The mattresses were surprisingly comfortable, and the bedding was clean and fresh. The hostel also offers private rooms for those who prefer more privacy. The bathrooms are modern and kept impeccably clean. There are enough showers and toilets to accommodate guests without long waits, and the hot water is reliable. The hostel also provides free toiletries, which is a nice touch. The staff at the hostel truly make the experience exceptional. They are friendly, approachable, and always willing to help. Whether you need directions, restaurant recommendations, or help booking tours, they are more than happy to assist.

Great location, close to restaurants and bars but very quiet at night. Great aircon and clean rooms. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I would book here again when I return to Moalboal.

There are 2 dorm rooms and 1 private room. We booked the private room and at check in we were shown to one of the dorms. When we questioned this it became apparent that the staff had given our private room to another guest. Turns out this wasn’t a guest of island vibes hostel and they had booked to stay in the hostel next door. The host apologiesed for the confusion and After a quick turnaround we were then given the keys to our private room. This was funny more than anything else! Ants everywhere in the room and even on the bed. Room was grubby There are 2 shared bathrooms which are also grubby and one bathroom didn’t have a toilet seat during our stay. There are pets (birds) that are kept in the communal space which leads to all rooms. The birds do not shut up all night which kept waking us up.

Good Wi-Fi and great location for tourist area and main strip of moalboal. There was a beer pong table outside so looked like a fun hostel during high season when full.
