Very friendly hostess. Summer was absolutely brilliant, and her two daughters, Anastasia and Daphne, were very charming

They should start the aircon an hour before the guest arrives. hehehe

The cleanliness is superb. I also like their policy for no smoking and vaping. Though the comfort room is a common area, it's really clean and functional! The water is ample. Not really what I don't like. But I would like to suggest that the staff (the 2 boys) must have their uniform, polo shirt with the logo of the hostel. The boys should also be more friendly and entertaining. They should not feel afraid or ashamed to the clients. I hope they will improve in this matter. But I would like to commend their patience. The owner (woman) and her child are very friendly and entertaining. She should orient her boys about how to entertain the guests better.

Nothing special. Maybe it could be nice to have a common place to relax in case of rainy days

Everything was perfect! The staff was so nice and helpful, they helped me book an excursion to Mayon and also the owner gave me a lot of recommandations of what to do and eat in Legazpi. The place was clean

Where can I start? Everything was perfect during my stay. The family owners were so friendly and they all gave me recommendations on things to do and places to visit in the Albay/Bicol/Legazpi area; they made me a list for me… that was priceless! Everything was clean, super spacious room and the view from the rooftop was just beautiful: the Mayon volcano in all its glory! My fav accommodation in the Philippines for sure!

There is quite nothing to complain about.

the AC sometimes had to be reloaded a couple times to work, but this wasn't a major problem, as it always worked once it was switched on and off again, and there were fans in the rooms to supplement this. There was also a lack of hot water, but I didnt find this to be a problem as it was so hot anyway - it was quite cooling!

I loved my stay here. The hosts were so accomodating constantly texting me recommendations of things to do in Legazpi, and what restaurants to go to. One of the employees was always around too which was always helpful, and on our last morning the hosts daughters even brought us chocolate and tea, which was so sweet!! The view of Mt Mayon from the accomodation was beautiful too!! Whilst there weren't many others in the hostel at the time I was there, it was nevertheless very peaceful, and its location was very convenient - especially to the local mall, and activities like the ATV rides.

It is not a social hostel with a lot of backpackers. But it could be that this city is just not a backpacker area (at that time).

Very very friendly family is running this place. Summer was very helpful when I had to restructure my plans and had great recommendations. Very clean, organised and reliable. From the roof you have a great view on Vulcano Mayon.

Amazing hosts. The family that run the place were wonderful, friendly and gave great recommendations for the area. They were also incredibly accommodating as I arrived at 4 in the morning, so they stayed up to ensure I could be checked in immediately

It's a little hard to get around without a scooter or driver. But I managed to do everything I wanted to and more despite this. I fully recommend staying here!

I absolutely loved my stay here!! The hosts are superb 😊 they helped me so much and were so friendly. They couldn't have done more for me and I'll be eternally grateful to them. When a driver wasn't available to take me to places I wanted to visit, they drove me for the same price as a driver would have. It would have been really difficult to do everything I wanted to without them. Their children are adorable! Everywhere was immaculately clean. The shower was warm and had good pressure. The WiFi and air conditioning worked perfectly. They provided shower gel, hand soap and free water refills. I really recommend doing the ATV tour near the volcano through them, it was amazing! It's near a mall with lots of restaurants. The rooftop provides an amazing view of the volcano as well

The family owning this hostel were super kind and always helped me whenever I had a problem. I felt super safe at this hostel and comfortable as a solo traveler which is always nice. +the rooftop is simply amazing for sunsets and an amazing view of Mount Mayon.

A nice clean and peaceful property. But what makes it great is the hostess who is so friendly and helpful and will make your stay extra special

I really enjoyed my stay in JDL residences. Summer, the host was very friendly and helpful with information about the city, the volcano and various activities for tourists. The hostel itself is very spacious. The dormitories are comfortable, bathrooms clean and the roof terrace offers fantastic views of the city and the vulcano. JDL is the only hostel in the Legazpi so it's your best shot at meeting other travellers. I'm sure I will stay there again when I come back to this lovely vibrant city.

JDL is like coming home, it is very clean and tidy, and has a great terrace to watch the volcano. The proprietress is warm, beautiful and educated. I like her two daughters very much, they are smart and lovely.

Not a dislike but more of a suggestion, more food options (rice meals specifically) and fan rooms should have a window for good ventilation.

1. Has great view of Mt. Mayon in the rooftop 2. Room and restrooms were clean; same with the blanket and towel provided. 3. Never had a problem with water pressure in the shower area 4. Staff were accommodating and friendly.
