Guest Reviews

• Charlie (10/5): -
• Morgan (8/5): - Very spacious dorms with great locker space. The toilets were clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Super cheap laundry place down the road if you need that service. I also arranged onward travel with the hostel for a good price. They offer nice food in the restaurant. The locks on the doors of the showers and toilets weren’t super secure and the showers could be refurbished/ a bit cleaner.
• Nimisha (10/5): Great location, good for money - Amazing location, right on the road. Clean and spacious dorms. Washrooms could have been maintained better. Showers were not working
• charlotte (8/5): - Tres bon accueil, le personnel est agréable, les locaux sont propres La climatisation beaucoup trop froide dans les chambres
• Isobel (6/5): -
• Isidora (9/5): -
• Judit Nóra (9/5): - Tágas nagy szoba. Igényes környezet, főleg a kert részében volt kellemes tartózkodni.

• Guillaume W. (8/5): - Propreté Rapport qualité prix
• javier (8/5): Gran relación calidad precio. - Personal muy amable. Habitaciones muy amplias. Bonito jardín delantero. Gran relación calidad precio. Las literas son demasiado ruidosas. Falta una pequeña tabla en la pared junto al enchufe para dejar el móvil o el PowerBook cargando ya que el enchufe está a demasiada altura y los dispositivos quedan colgando del cable.
• Julian (7/5): -
• Julian (7/5): - The vibe of the place The showers which where a little bit dirty
• Clara (9/5): - El.lugar es muy bonito, está muy limpio y el personal es super amable. Se escucha mucho los ruidos de los demás huéspedes, incluso de otras habitaciones
• Trisha Jessica (9/5): - As always. We had a superb stay.
• Julian (8/5): - The vibe of the place. The power plugs where a struggle to deal with.
• Elias (10/5): -
• Alejandro (8/5): - El personal en encantador, está bien ubicado y el restaurante que tienen está bien Por el día hace mucho calor en las habitaciones a pesar de que tiene aire
• Camille (8/5): - Très bon restaurant Manque de propreté dans la salle de bain
• Kim My (8/5): -
• Marcos (9/5): Great stay in Puerto Princesa - Amazing staff. So kind and helpful on so many levels, always cheered up. Also the bar area is amazing, it's cozy and the food, even if it's not cheap, it's super tasy. Definitely recommended. The beds on shared dorms are not the best. I woke up when any of the people in the 4 bunk beds moved. Also rules are not clear enough as some people of the dorm just turned on the light at midnight to do random stuff, super disrespectful. I think the hostel should remind of the rules and put them on the wall or something. Also the aircon was super cold.
• Claudia (10/5): - Ubicación, instalaciones, atención del personal Baños unisex
• Claudia (10/5): Excelente! - Ubicación, instalaciones, atención del personal !! Me gustó todo!
• Mastura (10/5): -
• Matthias Krautter (10/5): - Bestes Hostel nach 5 Wochen auf den Philippinen
• Emilie Nilo (8/5): - The hostel was very nice, clean, and the staff were friendly.
• Vincent (9/5): Norin, Vince, and Christian are the best! - Not in, Christian, and Vince provided excellent service in a very friendly manner. I would book again when I am in Puerto Princesa. Very relaxed environment, love it. Clean bathrooms and a no shoe policy for upstairs bedroom and bathroom. No shoes = cleaner floors people. No one wants dirt and grime in the bedroom. Amazing place! Thanks for allowing me to be a guest.
• Angelica (10/5): - Comfortable, quiet, staff are friendly and accommodating. Pillows and blankets are all clean. Overall a great stay. Hot shower only works on 1 of 3 cubicles; it is a trailer-type hostels so you will any heavy footsteps.
• Katharina (9/5): -
• Brian (10/5): -
• Vincent (7/5): - Great friendly staff, would book again
• Gianni (1/5): Poca disponibilità e arroganza - Bagni in comune tra uomini e donne, con una sola doccia con acqua calda su 3 disponibili. Bagni sempre molto sporchi, camere poco silenziose e prezzi del ristorante esorbitanti. Lo staff è poco disponibile ad eventuali cancellazioni gratuite in qualsiasi circostanza! Il secondo giorno rientro alle 16 e la camera era un vero forno, scendo per chiedere gentilmente l’accensione del condizionatore visto che non si respirava e mi viene detto “ah ma il giorno prima non sei stato avvisato che lo avremmo acceso dalle 6PM?”, io rispondo di no e nel frattempo la donna delle pulizie lo ha acceso, una presa in giro anche in quella circostanza. Un altro giorno ho chiesto quanto potesse costare il trasporto dalla struttura alla Baywalk (circa 4 km) e mi viene risposto dallo staff che un prezzo onesto era 200 moneta locale…ho pagato 50 senza neanche trattare, purtroppo l’onestá non rispecchia lo staff…
• Gianni (1/5): STRUTTURA SPORCA E STAFF POCO CORRETTO - Poca serietá da parte dello staff e struttura che non vale il prezzo pagato
• ANDRES (9/5): -
• Ho Lam (8/5): -
• Mila (10/5): -
• Reden (8/5): -
• Pieri (1/5): Staff scortese e disinteressato - Normalmente i filippini sono molto disponibili e gentili. In questo posto lo staff era freddo, disinteressato. Si poteva intuire ancor prima che arrivassi, fin dall’inizio non mi hanno mai risposto ai messaggi, letteralmente rispondevano a un messaggio su 5 e gli ho dovuto rifare la stessa domanda più e più volte. Non volevano neanche darmi informazioni per l’underground river, unico motivo per cui ero lì. bisogna prenotare in anticipo, non il giorno prima perché i posti rischiano di finire visto che c’è un numero limitato d’ingressi giornalieri. Anche il servizio navetta che offrono da/per l aeroporto è stra costoso. 500PHP, i taxi in aeroporto ti chiedono 250PHP senza neanche il bisogno di contrattare (letteralmente la metà). Quando sono arrivata, stanca dopo quasi 20H di viaggio, Gli ho chiesto delle uova per cena, la risposta è stata “le facciamo solo per colazione, a cena solo pasta e pizza (se così si può chiamare)”, come se gli costasse tanto fare due uova (letteralmente ci vogliono due minuti). Alla mattina, mi sono affacciata al bar, neanche un buongiorno, la prima cosa che han detto è stata “il ristorante è chiuso”, ripeto senza neanche salutare. Non era possibile neanche ordinare un caffè alla 11:15 del mattino. E dopo questa frase, la ragazza si è rimessa a scrollare il telefono come il resto dei dipendenti li (altri 3/4). Guardare il telefono tutto il giorno si, ma assistere un cliente appena fuori l’orario non è possibile! Che poi posso anche capirlo, sono regole, ma è il modo. Sono andata a cenare in un altro ristorante e mi hanno fatto subito l’omelette nonostante fosse esclusivamente per il menù della colazione, perché appunto non costa nulla cuocere due uova in padella! E lo hanno fatto con il sorriso. Questo è il posto più freddo in cui io sia stata e ho viaggiato tanto in Asia (tutt’ora sono in giro da più di un mese, quasi sempre in ostello quindi si può dire che ho buono spirito di adattamento).

• Quentin (10/5): On recommande ! - Qualité du dortoir Propreté +++ Douche chaude Draps et essui de douche propres Grands casiers pour mettre les grands sacs à dos Bonnes pizzas
• TAMARA (9/5): Bien calidad precio - El restaurante tiene muy buenas pizzas El ruido del aire acondicionado y lo frío que está por La noche , se pasa frío y solo ponen una sábana
• Mariona (10/5): -
• Mathilde (8/5): Avec un personnel plus aimable, ça vaut 10 ! - La chambre est très confortable avec la climatisation, propre et peu fréquentée. L’hôtel est à 30 minutes à pied de l’aéroport, mais vous pouvez également prendre des multicab pour 20 pesos qui vous emmène depuis la route principale. Franchement le personnel n’est pas très sympathique, ni arrangeant. Que ce soit pour les bagages (que vous ne pouvez pas laisser après checkout) ni pour le Check in ou même s’il n’y a personne dans la chambre (oui, le dorm, pas le lit), impossible d’investir les lieux avant 14h pile !

• Valentina (7/5): - Lindo lugar, limpio y con habitaciones cómodos El hostel se encontraba cerrado, fuimos las únicas huéspedes, no había servicio de restaurante ni desayuno. No fuimos informados que hostel se encontraba cerrado hasta finales de septiembre.

• Jenny (10/5): -
• Jenny (10/5): - This is a very good hostel. Everything were clean and comfortable. They provide free water and towels. And every bed has a large locker. Unfortunately the prices on the food are similar to European prices so I didn’t try it, the pizzas looks really good tho. I would stay here again. Thank you!
• Irene (10/5): -
• Louis (9/5): Great place - Great room, bathroom and locker storage Bathroom could do with a place to put your wash bag and soaps. Food prices are expensive
• Karla (9/5): - Es bueno céntrico y económico
• Hannan (10/5): Exceptional - The dorm room was cold and the beds were comfortable with full curtains. The staff were always very courteous and available. The pizza was delicious. Very good for value and 10 mins walk away from Robinsons mall The bed creaks when anybody moves. The toilet and shower cubicles have weird double doors that don't close well. The toilet cubicles aren't properly closed so if someone takes a dump, the smell spreads 🤣
• Marius (10/5): Really nice quiet place for rest and good locations for enjoy the centre of the town - The food in the hostel Nothing
• Tommaso (7/5): Good -
• Cameron (1/5): Don’t stay here - The room i booked wasn’t available so was put in a different room and they had my booking dates wrong and insisted i pay another night. Staff were rude and very unhelpful
• Franco (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is very nice and pleasant to look at. The restaurant on the ground floor adds a great touch, the food is delicious and affordable. You can’t hear the music from the rooms. Definitely worth it for the price.
• Julieta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julieta (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sebastian (9/5): Superb - So clean.. good location … best pizza ever .. great reception stuff
• Laura (9/5): Superb - Good location but away from the main city. Walking distance to the airport (25min) and very comfy beds Noisy at times from the restaurant music downstairs

• Maysam (8/5): Very good - Super great staff. Ac room. Clean. The beds make much noises when others roll in it. I reserved a shuttle through them which came with almost 2h delay.
• Nadia (8/5): Very good -
• Hanif (10/5): Nice place to stay for a good price - A very comfortable and clean place. Staff very friendly and accommodating Generally everything was fine
• Amanjot (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lukasz (9/5): Superb - The room was very clean and comfortable , and the bathroom also. Good location close to the big shopping mall and not far from the airport. The staff was very nice. I totally recommend it. It's not the best place for socialising. The common area is the same place as a restaurant.
• Pleun (8/5): Very good -
• Denise (9/5): Lovely hostel but overpriced pick up service from airport - Provided towels and had hot showers. The rooms are spacious not crowded. Comfortable beds. Curtains for privacy and clean facilities. Nice atmosphere Squeaky bed frames. If someone above or below you moves a lot it can get annoying at night. Offering an expensive pick up service from the Airport. We are all budget travellers should advise us on the cheapest option and be clear what options are out there and then someone can make an informed decision if they maybe prefer a personalised pick up from the hostel or use pick up at the airport which are less then half price.
• Melton (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melton (10/5): Exceptional -
• Georgios (10/5): Totally recommended backpacker-style accommodation - 1. nice smiling people working here 2. huge locker to fit your valuables, 1 big bagpack or 2-3 daypacks can easily fit there. 3. walking distance from the exit of Puerto Prinsesca airport, just 2.5km according to GoogleMaps. In case you want to skip some walk, just walk to "Puerto Prinsesca North Road" and take a multicab (small in-towb version of jeepney) direction San Jose for 15PHP=0.25€. Hostel is situated in Barangay (neighborhood) San Pedro. 4. Good location, just 2.8Km to the main Street Rezal Avenue (13PHP by multicab that runs until 10pm) and 800m (walkable) from "Robinsons Place Palawan" which also has a high quality 3-rooms movie multiplex for around 280PHP=4.57€ per screening. VISA extension is also there, Mon-Fri (except national holidays) 10am-4pm last application accepting. 5. comfortable bed with curtains for privacy, 2 pillows (in case you just want to read something while lying on bed), plus light+socket at each bed 6. clean everywhere: dormitory, bath, common areas 7. drinking water provided 8. possible to rent an auto motorbike here for 600PHP=9.70€ per day 9. tours to touristic highlights also provided by the hostel (in case you are not a DIY-DoItYourself person; of course, it is easier but also more expensive from the DIY-version) NOTE: Stayed totally for 7 nights (just booking day by day), so this review reflects this experience here. No negative; everything was fine.
• Valentina (8/5): Very good -
• Eliska (1/5): Just no - Nice looking and clean. Staff was nice. The beds are designed the way that if one person moves the entire construction moves. They do not have standard airco, but some kind of fan which is extremely noisy, so you feel like sleeping in walking fridge. It was directly blowing on my bed set up on 16 degrees. Without option to set it lower. I stayed only one night, but due to this I slept about half an hour shivering cold in rocking bed as people couldn’t sleep either. If you want quiet place with bed that is still, go elsewhere. Such disappointment and so far the worst place i have stayed. Yes is very clean, looks good as it is new, staff is nice, but the reality is little different. Coffee is an instant coffee with milk. If you order latte for 160, you get instant coffee with milk.
• Avichay (9/5): The crew made my day, every day. - Nice location, great restaurants - with tasty vegan options for me, amazing atmosphere, cool design and above all that - wonderful workers. Two of three showers are cold water only, and the one with the hit water is with a low pressure. Lotssss of mosquitoes out there, I was bitten every minute.
• Halliday (8/5): Very good - I liked the hostel, my 2nd stay. Vans, tours and motorbike prices seemed over inflated in my opinion.
• Elad (5/5): Passable -
