Bamboo Nest

I arrived 1am and owner of the hostel arranged a pick up for me, and checked me in even it was late at night. Room was very comfortable, equipped kitchen big plus. Love to cuddle with cats! Also booked Underground river tour and van to Port Barton with hostel. Very nice and welcoming hospitality. Check the second place on the beach and get massage too!

Very nice owner who arranges things you need. The place is nice situated but kind of in the middle of nowhere. But the airport is very close and if you want to do something go to the mall with a tricycle.

Located in neighborhood Own water wheel Free filtered drinking water Nice and easy access to local people No tourist spot just layed back

Kitchen not so clean Be aware of many free dogs and cats of the owner

Close to the airport it was 150-200 pesos for a tuktuk there. Host is so lovely recommended places and offered to take me to the other bamboo nest for an event they were having

The walls are like paper, obviously you’re going to hear dogs fighting and cockerels all day long in the Philippines, but there were no windows just mosquito nets so I could hear different rooms conversations etc which meant I didn’t sleep great before my flight. Also no a/c just a fan and the building is fully open to the elements so I got a fair few bites despite mosquito spray

Friendly staff and animals, clean and quirky

It took us a long time to find as you have to go down the back streets as it's on a military base and you can't drive on the streets, no signs for the place and Google maps will try to take you on to military base be warned! The fans in the room did nothing it was super hot. There's no much going on around the area

The building itself is so lovely and there is a delicious restaurant just 1 minute away on the military road that cooked me vegetarian meals during my stay, the staff are extremely helpful and I even managed to book a last minute shuttle to Port Barton with no problem because of them! The art around the place is seriously awesome and the dogs and cats are so cute (if you lie on the hammock sometimes the cats jump into your lap)!

It’s not too difficult to find and the staff will give you the option of an airport taxi once you book, as well as directions to the hostel if you go on your own but the tuktuk I got from the airport had difficulty getting me there because of the military road, so maybe book the transportation with the hostel (it’s the same price)!!
