    Food prices were pretty high. The place is pretty big, so there is an impersonal feel.

    Bed in dorm with own light, power socket, full heavy curtain for privacy. A good number of toilets and bathrooms which were cleaned often. A pool. Location was 20 minutes walk to the public beach . Air conditioning in room good and very quiet. Large locker. Overall, the best facilities of any hostels have stayed in, in the Philippines.

    The showers available to everyone don't have warm water, hence if you have a place in a dormitory be prepared to the "cold" (but we are in the Philippines, water is never really cold). Toilets always have a lot of water on the ground. About toilets and showers it looks line they would need some maintenance. The restaurant is very pricey compared to the local ones. Also the motorbikes rental actually.

    New environment, with big open space where you can stay freely as long as you like, also very late in the night. If you don't mind the background music it's a good environment to work with the laptop, especially after dinner, when it's really quiet. Good WiFi in the common area. Beautiful big swimming pool, (pricey) restaurant that can prepare you local dishes but also a big variety of non local ones. Pool freely available to everyone. Little toilet in the room, plus many toilets and showers downstairs. A good combination, zero waiting time and the room is more quiet. Towel and little soap included. Very comfortable bed with good curtains, big locker under the bed that you can use with your lock. Light and power socket in every bed. You can rent a moto in a few minutes. A bit far from the most dense areas, so more quiet, but very close to a very well equipped grocery shop and some local little restaurants. Free water. A lovable staff.

    fancy outdoor area and quiet simple dorms

    • Stayed 6 nights

    for dorms, only cold showers and the dorm toilet was always a bit dirty. I saw them cleaning it, but there was never enough toilet paper and the hose leaked so the water was always super wet. they need more hooks in the dorms and a place to hang wet clothes thats covered from the rain (nothing ever dried)

    beautiful pool and dining area. staff were super friendly and helpful! bed was comfortable and it was a quiet place.

    Ela was so kind with me. She has resolved and helped with my questions and doubts. She speaks Spanish and a lot of languages. I'm grateful for your big help. Waiting you in Spain. Hehehe. The rest of staff was so kind too. The best hostel that I have stayed with difference in Philippines. Congratulations.

    The food quality can be improved.

    This is how a hostel should looks like! Very nice, clean & cosy. We loved our stay even if it was just two days. You can have your own privacy if you get the private room but also meet lots people in the chill area and play pool. We definitely recommend it.

    Sometimes the hostel is used for events, and the music is too loud.

    The receptionist was very kind and always available to answer my questions. The pool is clean with a green area around; the place is for relaxing. The beds are comfortable. I enjoy this place.

    The blankets were a bit thin for the nights we spent in the dorm. Without aircon, they're fine.

    Overall a very very nice place with awesome food and very friendly and helpful staff. We extended three or four times because it definitely seemed like the best place around. The beach down the road is also beautiful, great for snorkeling once you swim out a bit, and it is not overcrowded. The hostel is a bit far from Alona and the main tourist area, but the staff rented us a very good scooter and even gave discount because we rented it for a couple of days. If we should ever come back to Panglao, we will stay there again for sure.

    A lot of mosquitoes in the pool area when we went for a night swim and eat in that area. The bathroom doesn't smell good.

    I like that they are pet friendly and their interior of the room and pool area was beautiful.

    It seemed bit more like resort than a hostel. Don’t get me wrong, it was riddiculously nice, but it was not as social as other hostels

    This hostel was a bit out of this world luxury wise. It seemed fairly new and it was super clean.

    Breakfast was a bit small for the price. Fresh fruit was just two small bits of water melon. I would expect a bowl of mixed fruit.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Property was well maintained.

    Need to improve the toilet and bath because everytime you shower, water causes flood to the toilet area. At least have a divider to prevent the water reaching the area on the toilet floor :)

    Very nice place to stay. Clean, very quiet and relaxing. Staff are accommodating.
