    The layout is a little strange as you have to walk through the bar area to get to the toilets and showers.

    Comfortable room, modern, good A/C. Nice food at a good price. Nice friendly staff.

    Not social at all, offers breakfast but didnt have bread a few mornings, no way to lock the main door to the room which is on the main street so didn’t feel 100% safe

    Super big rooms, very clean, good location, helped with booking canyoneering, just opposite the food market which was ideal

    The room was clean. Tho this is a hostel, the assured that the guests get their privacy. The toilet and bathroom are not inside the room, I personally think is better that way so that the other guests that are sleeping won't get disturb. Tho this is a bit far from the beach, I highly recommend this hostel.

    One of the best hostels in Moalboal, which is very central and you can reach everything on foot. Lots of space and super clean! Separate showers and toilets. There is also a very good restaurant in the hostel. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

    To be honest it’s mostly great and I’d stay here again in a heart beat. but a few tweaks and it would be even better. I’d suggest to put the lockers actually inside the room - it feels safer as a guest to know your items are near you and also for convenience to be able to get things. At the moment the lockers are outside the bathroom but the rooms are so huge you could easily fit a locker in there too. - in the biggest dorm, the door leads directly to the main road -and guests constantly leave it unlocked , and you can’t help but wonder when you leave is my things safe - (of course they were and nothing happened) but for peace of mind it would be better to simply lock that door all of the time and let guests who are staying in the dorm to enter via the entrance within the hostel (the dorm has 2 doors) and one is in the hostel and one is on the main road. - would be handy to have more hooks in the dorm. It’s only a small point but just would be handy and likely can be purchased for very little cost but be appreciated by guests - it is quite loud so wouldn’t be the best if you are a light sleeper or need to sleep early as the karaoke next door is on until 12 but it didn’t bother us since we were sleeping after that each night anyway

    This is a really nice hostel. It’s pretty new and so everything is clean and tidy. The dorms are spacious with big beds and lots of room between the beds. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They have free water. They have karaoke bar next door which is funny to hear people singing and also they have a basket ball court opposite where you can play with the locals. It’s only 5 mins walk into the town so it’s close to everything and they also serve great food. It’s a good cost and also showers are amazing great water pressure bathrooms and toilets always clean. It’s easy to meet people as it’s a small hostel we made a few friends and had good times.

    The only minor thing to mention is the outside noise, which can be a bit noticeable early in the evening. It’s just part of the area’s vibe and not the hostel’s fault. The good news is that it usually quiets down after 9 or 10 PM, so it won’t disturb your sleep. Plus, the hostel staff has you covered—they offer free earplugs if you need them! Just ask, and they’ll be happy to help.

    Puy-an Hostel is amazing! The dorm room here is HUGE—honestly the biggest I’ve ever stayed in. It’s super spacious, so even with a lot of people, it never felt cramped. The beds were comfy, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The whole place has such a cool vibe. The walls are covered in art from local artists, and some of it is for sale, which I thought was a really nice touch. The Wi-Fi worked great, which was a lifesaver since I had some work to do. If you’re a backpacker or a digital nomad, you’ll love this place. It’s affordable, super chill, and has everything you need.

    Everything was perfect!

    This was by far the best hostel I stayed at in the Philippines. I really like the beds - they are comfy and you have much more privacy than in other dorms. The toilets and showers were always clean and working well. What I liked the most is that the hostel is very suitable for people who work online. They have a spot where you can comfortably sit and have access to power outlets. The WiFi is very fast and reliable so that I never had trouble getting some work done online. Additionally, the hostel also has a restaurant. I chose to eat there at least once a day cause the meals were always delicious and freshly cooked. Last but not least, the location is also great. 10/10 for me and I would recommend the hostel to anyone staying in Moalboal. Thanks for having me as your guest🌞

    There is nothing unlikeable for me. Maybe a few mosquitos when I worked outside the common area haha. Mosquitos are nothing new in the Philippines. If you are too lazy for off lotion, long pants will do the trick.

    I like the relaxed vibe of the place. I was able to work remotely when needed. The common area is spacious and it's not too hot there. They also have a restaurant called Nomads which is connected to the hostel. I can't say no to their awesome quesadillas and cold calamansi juice. The hostel is very clean and the dorm setup differs from most hostels. You have more privacy here than in most dorms. When you see it you will know. The staff is always friendly and helpful. When I need them they are available at all times. For sure I will go back here.

    No rugs to swipe slippers off if from shower or outside. No quiet hours.

    **Review for Puy-an Hostel** I recently stayed at Puy-an Hostel and overall, it was a great experience. The place is new, so everything is clean and looks great. Each bunk bed has its own outlets and lights, which is very convenient 👌. The price is cheap and affordable, making it a great option for budget travelers. Also kudos to the very strong wifi. The location is fantastic, within walking distance to the beach and many nearby restaurants and cafes. However, the top bunk is a bit hard to reach, which can be a slight inconvenience. Also, there's no common kitchen available, which would have been a nice addition. One downside was the lack of visible rules for guests. There was a group that got very noisy around midnight and interrupted my sleep. I hope the hostel will put up warning signs to encourage peace and quiet during certain hours. The bathroom is clean and has a bidet, but there are no rugs around, which would be a nice touch. Overall, for the price and location, I would rate my stay 5/5. I hope they can maintain the current state of the hostel since it’s new, and it will be interesting to see how it holds up in a year. Adding a common kitchen and implementing quiet hours would make it even better.

    It is a new hostel therefore they are working their kinks out but some of the cons I found about the hostels are: - The lockers are not in the room but close to the washroom which is inconvenient. The room is big enough to have the lockers and I would feel safer with the lockers close to me. - No kitchen/fridge for guests to use. But they do have a hostel restaurant - There is a common area but just tables and chairs. Doesn't have good chill/lounge area -There is a community basketball court in front of hostel. So if there are games it can get loud. Unfortunately this isnt something the hostel can control. - I wish each guest had keys to the rooms for extra safety. The room entrance is in front of the street and there is no real way to block randoms from coming in. Obviously nothing happened! And there are lots of CCTV cameras but just a suggestion. All these cons are just suggestions I had in mind during my stay. I still very much enjoyed my stay that I extended twice. Thank you for a great stay

    - It was nice hostel I ended up staying 4 nights! -It is a new hostel therefore the facilities are clean. - The beds are pretty comfy -There are 3 toilets and 3 showers. The water pressure and hot water is very good in the showers. - Lots of hooks in the showers - There is AC in the room - Each bed has blackout curtains, plug, and light therefore you have good privacy - Free water station to fill your bottle -You can book tours and scooters from the hostel which is very convenient.Prices are competitive. It is good to rent scooters from them because they already have your passport information so they won't physically take your passport unlike other scooter rentals where they will keep your passport for insurance. - Big rooms. Plenty of space for your bags

    I had a fantastic stay at Puy-an, Nomad Hostel. The place is wonderfully quiet, perfect for unwinding. My room was clean, with a spacious bed on a high frame, so you can actually stand up without worrying about hitting your head. The bed has a solid foundation, so there's no annoying shaking even if someone moves upstairs—definitely a plus! The air conditioning kept me comfortable, and the artistic wall displays added a great vibe to the space. I also appreciated that the shower and toilet are separate, which is super convenient. This newly opened hostel is simply amazing, and I would love to stay here again!
