Guest Reviews

• Odeline (9/5): - Très pratique pour une nuit. Le lit était confortable nous avons bien dormi. Le personnel est très gentil et serviable. Proche de l’aéroport Il n’y a qu’une salle de bain pour la chambre et elle est assez rudimentaire je trouve.

• Joanna (10/5): great stay - Feels good there, clean, nice staff and safe nothing
• Ilaria (10/5): - The staff was really nice with us, we just booked last minute and everything was easy. They helped us every time we needed. The shared bathroom is cleaned often by the staff.

• Christian (8/5): -
• jongmun (9/5): -
• Baptiste (9/5): - Très bon rapport qualité prix! Situé sur la route principale entre l'aéroport et la ville, tout est proche ! Très propre avec suffisamment de rangement. La salle de bain manque peut-être d'un tapis de sol à la sortie
• Brenda (8/5): Muy bien! - Personal muy amable y atento, camas muy comodas y espacio para dejar las mochilas debajo de la cama. El jardín muy agradable también Los baños: pocos para la gente que se aloja y bastante viejos. Además uno olía bastante mal y daba la sensación de que no se limpiaban suficientemente a menudo. Aunque igual algo puntual, solo me alojé una noche. De todas formas para hacer noche antes de tu vuelo es fenomenal, lo recomiendo.
• Adrian (10/5): - The staff is amazing friendly and helpful, I always come back here because I feel at home! Thanks
• marco (9/5): - Molto ben posizionato, comodo al centro ma in una via tranquilla. Eccezionale il giardino con amaca e altalene. Pulito Manca un angolo bar o cucina a disposizione dei clienti. Assenza del frigorifero

• Matthew (10/5): - We were so tired from our flight and we were met with such friendly staff that made our stay feel like home in the Philippines 😂, all the facilities are new and very clean and the whole vibe of the place makes you feel so welcome and excited to carry on our travels, the beds were so comfy and was so nice we extended our stay here just to stay here another night😂, would recommend this highly to any like minded travels

• Claude (10/5): Thumbs up - Everything was perfect and the staff was great
• Jagoda (7/5): Szeleszczące materace - Lokalizacja blisko lotniska, idealnie ustawiona temperatura na klimatyzacji, szerokie łóżka, a pod nimi dostępne skrytki na bagaż zamykane na klucz Materace pokryte folią. Fatalnie to wpływało na komfort. Przy każdym najmniejszym ruchu łóżko szeleściło. Dramat, pomimo tylko jednej nocy nie chcę tam wracać. Wifi słabo działało

• Janette (10/5): - Good location for the airport Staff really nice and helpful Air con was noisy however that seems to be normal for the philippines
• VALCKE (7/5): -
• Lea (9/5): 👍 all good - The staff was very friendly. The room was nice. The bathroom was very good with warm shower. Everything was well kept and clean. Nice outside area and also places to sit inside. The room was too cold for me.

• Fabienne (8/5): Sehr freundliches Personal ! - Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich!! Die gesamte Unterkunft hatte eine sehr offene Atmosphäre Leider roch es nicht besonders gut. Der Raumduft war sehr unangenehm. Das Personal hat uns dann Raumparfum gegeben. Auch das Badezimmer bei uns hatte leider kein warmes Wasser weshalb wir in einem anderen Zimmer duschen durften.
• Sandra (10/5): Excellent clean hostel - Close to the airport (15min walk), super polite, generous and helpful personel, cleanliness of entire hostel, all premises and especially bathrooms. Guests can really feel welcome and respected. My warmth recommendation for this hostel. Additionally, guests can arrange all significant tours and transportation directly through hostel, which I found convenient. -
• Duarte Jaque (10/5): Perfecta - Las habitaciones y las camas son muy cómodas, el baño siempre se mantenía limpio y tiene un espacio común muy bueno para descansar, compartir o para los que trabajan de manera on line. Hay siempre alguien en recepción 24 horas dispuesto a ayudar, el personal y la dueña son muy amorosos y buena gente, me ayudaron en todo y tienen traslados convenientes hacia el nido. Queda cerca del aeropuerto. Nada, todo perfecto

• Hannah (8/5): - Great staff who were super helpful and fun, property was nice and clean with great AC and wifi. Good location in puerto princesa and access to all the tours/airport.
• Sandra (10/5): I loved the stay because of the owner! Shes such a friendly person, i felt like im in a family. - I came here because of a recommendation from a travel friend. At most, i liked the outdoor area with swings. The rooms are light and clean with storages under the beds, you also get towels. Infront of every room is a seperatly bathroom.
• Álvaro (9/5): - Muy limpio y el personal siempre atento El colchón es muy cómodo pero el plástico protector que tiene hace que se resbale la sábana
• Fabienne (8/5): We would come again! - The people working at the hostel are incredibly nice and we really enjoyed the common areas a lot. Inside everything is only accessible barefoot which gave it a cozy feeling. We will definetly come again!! The only thing a little annoying was the smell of the rooms. It seemed as though some strong chemical was sprayed before our stay. Luckily when asked I was given a room spray. The bathrooms are not very modern yet functional.
• Juan José (10/5): Absolutey recommend this hostel. Calm, quiet, well designed, well located and amazing staff ! -
• Gustė (10/5): a perfect stay in Puerto Princesa - it’s one of the cleanest hostels i’ve seen, it’s very chill and quiet, the staff are also lovely, truly would stay here again and again! i have nothing bad to say!
• Ludvig (10/5): The hostel was very nice, rooms where good and the staff awesome - The staff was very nice and super friendly Not the best lounge area but totally okey
• Sophie (10/5): A welcoming and comfortable stay with amazing staff - I stayed at Goofy Ants for a few days while waiting for Typhoon Tino to pass, and it was the best choice I could have made! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the owner, Faith, went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable. She even organized a wonderful meal with the staff and fellow guests to lift our spirits - it was such a memorable experience. They also provided useful updates about the storm and offered helpful travel advice, which I really appreciated. The beds were spacious and comfortable, the rooms were clean, and the location was perfect - close to restaurants and the airport. I’d definitely stay here again next time I’m in Puerto Princesa! My only comment would be bigger blankets :)
• Wai Yee (8/5): Great place and sites are all within walking distance - The hostel was super clean n the beds super comfortable. There wasn't hot water showers
• Gian Mienard (10/5): -
• Gian Mienard (10/5): The best spot in Puerto Princesa - The best place to stay in the Puerto Princesa. It’s right in the middle of everything — close to good restaurants, food shops, and a laundromat. The beds are comfy, the room’s well-maintained and clean. The staff are really nice and always happy to help. A special thanks to ED for helping me figure things out. None.
• DIANA FERNANDA (8/5): - En si es bonito, las habitaciones ya no tienen nada que ver con las fotos , pero estaba muy limpio y el personal muy amable
• Fritz Dustin (10/5): - The hosts were very accommodating. Ms. Faye actually brewed coffee for us to drink while chatting. Although I had already checked out, they let me stay and feel at home in the front desk area. The location is excellent, as it's within walking distance of Rizal Street and most of the establishments. I actually walked to the airport in only 20 minutes. Hostels should be the next trend when it comes to traveling, and Goofy Ants is a good place if you're visiting Puerto Princesa.
• Arnold (7/5): great location, very affordable,w/ contemporary ambiance. - i love the hospitality of the staff, the cozy and cleanliness of place w/ modern ambiance and impressive interior lighting, toilet is clean, love the smell of lobby and reception area, the accomodation price is so cheaper and great location. there are some things for improvement. - must be a hot shower - plastic cover in bed produce uncomfy noise. - unstable lavatory faucet
• ChaoTing (9/5): A very clean hostel. Nice staff. - Very clean. Bed is big and comfortable. Staff are very nice and willing to help. none
• Ng (10/5): - Very affordable. Very clean and very accessible to different restaurants. N/A
• Maritoni (10/5): As a first time tourist in Puerto Princesa, this accommodation helped me and my family enjoy all the good places in Puer - We love the location since it's very near the airport and it's very accessible to the most famous restaurants like Kinabuchs, Kalui, Haim Chicken, Noki Nocs and Badjao. Nothing.
• stuart (10/5): Best hostel ever? - One of the nicest vibes on earth! Trust me, this place and this crew is a gem
• Princess (10/5): Super comfy ng beds at friendly ang mga staff. Sobrang ganda pa! Recommended itong Hostel na ito - Super lapit sa mga kainan at ang dali lang hanapin dahil malapit lang sa Provincial Capitol of Palawan. Pwedeng pwede sa mga solo travelers! Nagustuhan namin lahat! Dahil sobrang ganda at malinis
• Rosanna (9/5): Good location, great staff and big beds - Really nice and friendly staff, the location was just off of the Main Street with lots of stores and restaurants! The beds were almost double sized so can have two people stay if you’re travelling with someone and want to share, but if not it’s nice to have that space to yourself - it means you can keep smaller bags/some belongings in that space too instead of having to go in to the lockers every time you want to get something! Some reviews complain about the crunchy covers on the beds, whilst they can be noisey, it does provide peace of mind that the beds are as clean as possible and free from bed bugs etc!
• Francisco (9/5): I had a great experience at this hostel. The staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The location is a -
• Filip (10/5): Exceptional - New hostel, very clean, good value for money, nice location, comfortable beds, good WiFi and a big enough shared area. Faith and Russell were very helpful
• Nahidul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kzya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sophia (8/5): Value for money! - My stay was comfortable
• Dawn (10/5): New Hostel, great location, walking distance to everything 😊 - New Venue 😊 Staff is great, safe area, & the owner is super sweet. Super cold AC, comfy beds, hot showers (use box on wall to activate) & really chill outdoor Patio. It’s in a great area, walking distance to many Restaurants/ Bars with WiFi (turn right on main road, ATM there as well 1 block down). ABC store across on main road has everything, toiletries, etc. Cute shops on Main road with clothes, shoes, plenty of shopping for Tourists. They have Motorbike Rental & can arrange all your travel 😊 Had a great experience here, Staff really makes the place! If you get cold at night ask for a top bunk, if you’re like me & like it Cool at night, bottom bunk is the Best! No complaints!
• James (9/5): The Goofy Ants hostel was a great place to stay. It has everything you need and the owners are really great and helpful - I like that it is close to the airport and close enough to downtown. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the bed set up is good with plugs, lights, and USB ports There weren’t any trip planners, local features, flags, maps, or any other hostel travel information to make it feel more hostel, but they are brand new and all this will come.
• Cvtz (10/5): Exceptional - Had a great time at Goofy Ants, from the kindness of the team to the shared time with the other backpackers. It's a place that attracts like-minded people, based on trust, good vibe and kindness like the team. Thank you so much for the time here and your help! About the rooms and amenities: fresh water available, clean bathroom and clean dorms with locker under the bed for your luggage.
• Amandine (9/5): Great Hostel - Clean, good location, very nice staff, rooms are great The only point, which is not a big deal, is the Wifi/data signal low
• Steph (10/5): Cozy and Convenient - Location is super near Provincial Capitol which made it easy for me to run the admin I needed to do. Also near interesting dining options. Front of House is super helpful in giving advice on where to eat, as well as in making arrangements (transport to Barton and massage). They maintain the place well and it feels clean. Privacy curtain is super useful, same as the underbed lockers. Love the big tree (Tropical Almond?) that provides cover for the social area in front of the hostel. Internet felt weak, but then again that may not be within the hostel's control -- yet to try remote working.
• Ramon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Babbajam (9/5): I enjoyed staying here and I like the location. It is comfortable and I will come back. - I liked that this hostel is within walking distance to the airport but also close enough to downtown. It's a brand new hostel and very clean, but it does need a few posters and trip options on the walls to give it a more hostel feel. I really like the idea that they are working on and it also has a great outdoor area. we were comfortable in the common area and even watched a movie together with the projector and good sound quality. It felt satisfying knowing that there was someone there twenty four seven so you feel secure with yourself and your belongings. The hostel is so new and they are working on the ambiance and the setup, so I think they are doing a great job.
• Steph (9/5): Great stay and exceptionally friendly staff! - Very friendly and helpful staff! Great privacy curtains and individual lights/power points. Lockers under the beds. Very clean. Pillow was so comfy! Aircon works really well. Good bathroom and shower. Walking distance from the airport. The bed had a plastic covering over it which made it a little squeaky but not a huge issue.
• Keith (10/5): Exceptional - New place, so everything is clean and well organized. Secure lockers as well. Staff is very welcoming and knowledgeable. About 10-15 minutes to the airport. 5 minute walk to restaurants and stores. Can also rent a motorbike for your adventure. Would stay there agiain. Everything was great.
