We were unlucky with the loud people in our room. But that’s not the hostel’s fault.

Nice location, kind staff. Bathroom is very clean and female/male bathroom are seperate. The beds are nice (soft matrass and curtain) and you will have your own small locker. Shared kitchen to use, a bar upstairs to get some drinks and there is a great place to have breakfast in front of the hostel. Location is perfect for surfing, would recommend getting a scooter.

We found a cockroach… and my boyfriends airpods got stolen. However the staff was really helpfull and it was his own fault.

We really liked the vibe of the hostel and the chill area with pooltable and bar. Also the kitchen was nice and you could book activities and join events

Location is in a side street that gets dark at night. There’s also lack in security facilities or simple lighting in garage. Wifi does not reach rooms.

Really nice social space with pool table, games, table tennis, and couch. They host activities on some nights in a friendly environment. They have a kitchen and a laundry area which is a big plus! Facility is clean and the beds are comfortable. Staff is very nice. Jovan is very friendly, he does playful banter while keeping professional.

Staff is lovely. Always trying to help. The common areas are beautiful to socialise. Games and really nice vibes. Is the hostel I stay more in my trips! Two weeks! All clean always. Thank you guys !

Other checked-in guests could maybe tone down a bit with the noise coming from the outisde going in to the premises but it's just tolerable.

My stay with sunlit was beyond what i could have expected. The staff were just incredible in attending your needs and answering any queries. The area is quite far from the busy area but I would not want it any other way. A great escape after a night of drinks and partying with new friends. I extended 1 more day which was totally unplanned! I'll stay in this hostel soon if given the chance.

It was all clean, nice staff and good ambience.

location is a bit far but still driveable to get to the town/main area. I see this as an advantage somehow if you want to have a quiet night :)

wifi is spot on, cleanliness, hot shower, common area

Had an amazing stay here! The entire hostel is very nice, clean and in a quiet location, restaurants and surf spots can be reached within a few minutes. The rooftop offers a nice hangout area, with music, Table-tennis, Billiard and drinks, what makes it very easy to connect and befriend new people as a solo travel. In addition the Staff organizes Movie-nights, Group Dinners and other events. The Staff is super nice and helps you in anyway possible.

I only have picky things because there wasn't too much bad here... Would appreciate some more hooks or shelves in the showers. It's difficult to not get your clothes wet while you're showering. The location is quite far from the strip so you will need to rent a motor bike unless you're okay walking 20-30 minutes each way. The roads aren't lit at night so it can be dangerous. It's hard to get a Tuk Tuk since it's away from the strip. 12 bed dorms feel like a lot of people in a room but everyone was respectful. This is just my.own comfort.

I enjoyed the vibe of this place. It wasn't too party party, but you could socialize with the other travelers when you wanted. There were some comfortable common areas so I felt like most people were digital nomads. It's quiet at night as it's away from the main strip. The bathrooms and showers are clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hostel organizes tours for you to join or some other activities.

Sunlit, more like a home than a hostel. It's an awesome community, made possible by the spotless accomodation itself but especially the amazing staff working there, that actively get people together and invite you to daily events (give Jovan and Berna a raise for their remarkable efforts). Common area is big, good for working in quiet and hanging out. Great place for solo travellers and long term stays

Stayed in April 2023

Lockers are small and not much space for bags. Some large floor to ceiling lockers would be helpful.

Beds are very large and have curtains. Good atmosphere and common areas. Berna and Jovan are great!

We loved our stay at sunlit. we stayed two weeks in a private room and would absolutely recommend it. the staff are so lovely and helpful and as soon as you arrive you feel like part of the hostel family. they got starlink Wi-Fi while we were there so the Internet was top notch 👌🏼

Sunlit is an amazingly chill social hostel. Everybody just keeps extending their stay because its so good. For us Sunlit was the best and most social hostel we stayed in during our 6mth travel. The vibe is just incredible. Outsiders came to hang out and people who stayed there before kept coming back for pool or drinks. The self service bar gives a vibe of mutual trust and made us feel at home. It's not a party hostel - quiet time after 2300 - but a very chill place to hang out. There is enough space to be on your own, work, read a book or sleep 'cause you're tired from surf. They have spacious privates and comfy dorms with curtains, lockers, personal light, ac, etc. The showers have warm water and strong pressure and bathrooms are cleaned on a daily base. Outside there is a rooftopped space with lines for laundry. The staff is super helpful, invested and they feel part of the group of friends we made. Upstairs there is an open spaced rooftop chillout (with roof) where you can play darts, ping-pong and pool and there is a self service bar and sound system. They have a projector for movies (currently being replaced), a firepit and beanbags to chill. Downstairs is a clean kitchen with good and usable inventory, a fridge and room for storage of food. Also there is a big table where people can eat together. Directly opposite the hostel is a vegan/veggie restaurant, perfect for breakfast and lunch. You do need a scooter to get around, but I think that's convenient anyways, wherever you stay on the island.

wifi only in common area location is a bit far bat I loved it that way

I can’t even start. EVERYTHING! all you can try to think about was great

Stayed in March 2023

Location is unfortunately quite bad and the short guy in the reception was everything but helpful. There are also no options for eating in at dinner time, so a scooter is a must.

Beds are comfortable and there are warm showers(!!!). Young woman in the reception is lovely and was helpful.

all the stuff is so kind and very welcoming. But I think the owner is not very friendly to Filipino though

very cozy

Wi-fi was pretty weak, doesn't reach dorm rooms which is frustrating as signal in rooms is also pretty non existent. You have to leave a 1000 peso deposit per bed, and also for bike rental. Location isn't too far from town but not really walkable given the conditions of the roads, so you have to tricycle / bike in.

Hostel was clean, showers had hot & cold water, basic kitchen facilities to make your own food. Free water refills, dorm beds had curtains, small locker in room to keep valuables. You can hire a bike here for 350 pesos per day. Helped facilitate a 2hr surfing lesson for 1000 pesos pp.

maybe aircon is too strong and can’t be easily programmed and bathrooms could be a tad cleaner

great staff, location, vibes. easy to make friends
