TAGBALAYON Lodging House

Staff were very welcoming, wrote new arrivals names on the chalkboard which was cute! Breakfast here was delicious and good value. The beds were comfortable and showers/ toilets were adequately cleaned. Lots of space in the dorm and good locker space.

Wish the bathrooms weren’t in the dorm if that makes sense as it can get stuffy and not properly ventilated.

If you plan to have an excellent service, I recommend this place and will come back. The staff is organized and the place is clean, worth every penny!

超级推荐住这家，员工态度都挺好，很友善，并且单人屋住着很舒服，窗外就是蓝天芭蕉树，也安静，二楼还有沙发吊床，环境不错还惬意，每天下楼就吃饭，这家一楼餐厅的饭做的好好吃，回国还会怀念，烤鸡肉串米饭，牛肉饭，炸鸡翅饭，水果奶昔，早餐碗，没有踩雷的，民宿对面就是coco酒店，过去看海也很方便，下次去锡基霍尔还会住这里，推荐推荐！

チェックイン前に荷物を預かって貰えましたがレストランのトイレ横にある棚に置くだけなのでセキュリティが心配だった

Well organised. Dorm rooms have low red lighting on all night so you can see your way. Dorms have aircon but not too much. Staff really helpful. Owner is very nice and helpful. Free meal on a Tuesday is a great idea getting everyone to mix and then karaoke. Dorms are cleaned regularly. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers in the 16 bed dorm but I never seemed to wait long. Restaurant is good and price is reasonable. Tubod beach is across the road. Easy to get tuk tuks to anywhere else. Would definitely stay here again.

The black lockers. Can’t find anything!

I had an unpleasant experience with a tricycle driver working for the hostel. He was wearing a hostel T-shirt, so it was clearly not an independent driver. Before the ride, I explicitly repeated the price several times and each time he clearly confirmed 200 pesos. However, when we arrived at the port, he suddenly demanded 400 pesos. I would never have agreed to that price. For comparison, I paid about 60% less for a similar ride from the ferry to the hostel with a different driver. This felt very misleading and unprofessional, especially since the driver represents the hostel. The hostel itself is actually very nice, and for the price I really cannot complain about the accommodation. My negative rating is only because of this experience. I would strongly recommend future guests to be very careful and confirm prices clearly in advance when using transport arranged by the hostel.

Incredible value for money, super kind staff! Food at the restaurant was very good. Great location, 5 minute walk from Tubod beach.
