Very nice place, situated away from the city buzz but only a 10min walk to the city center. Beautifull view from the balcony. Clean and well equiped room, though maybe a bit small. Staff is very helpfull

Nothing.

Super friendly hosts that will help you with everything. You can book tours, van tickets, tuk tuk rides. Very comfortable, tasty breakfast, clean, good WiFi. The kitchen is well equipped, so you can prepare your meals. Big rooms. Very nice common area right in front of the sea. A big thanks and certainly I would return in the future.

Not easy to find the first time, but this is normal.

Out of the crowded and noisy center of the town, but easy to reach it in less than 5 mn walk. The view from the commun area is wonderful. The staff is very friendly.

Dayam roosters but it is the Philippines. Glad I was here in the off season

Genuinely cool hostel which is hard to find in el nido. One of my favourite stays here in Philippines, great views in the morning, locals everywhere, cats and kayak rentals.

Very nice place. Quiet area at a short walking distance of bars and restaurants. Beautiful views.with the beach just in front of you. The owner told us they've just made renovations. The dormitory is quiet and there's a fan on each bed, so no heat and no mosquitos at night.

A bit far

Nice staff

The staff and the location. If you're not fond with the average Starbucks loving tourists and want to feel the true Filipino spirit and want to be surrounded with the friendliest Asians on the planet, then this is the place for ya. You'll be greeted and feel absolutely safe in this warm-heartedly and lovely fishing area of El Nido.

Room was really hot and the fans didnt work properly and were not enough for everyone. But I told Gordon and he bought some for the following day. It could be a bit cleaner.

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, they can run you through any question you might ask. The location was great, it's in a filipino neighbourhood, the last part of the path is between houses, first time is a bit tricky to find, even intimidating, but once you are there you realised everyone is friendly and super safe. It's cool to be close to the town but also see how filipino people live. The vibe in the hostel was nice!

It got so hot in the room, they explained why they didn’t have AC which is more than understandable but I think if maybe the fans were placed strategically to reach the beds better that would help, it was difficult to sleep. I also got a lot of bites as the window near my bed had no mosquito net. Also it’s a bit of a walk to get to the nearest road and even further to get to the centre of el nido. The walk goes through an area with really friendly locals but a really bad smell from locals burning rubber / other rubbish, barbecuing fish etc

The owners were amazing! Helping to book tours, transport the following day, helping us carry our bags on the long walk to the room and there was also free water refills and refreshments available in the kitchen. They also upgraded us to a private room when we arrived for no extra cost which was very kind

Stayed in April 2024

Very small bathroom. We did get woken up most days as it’s very noisy and the rooms are really light and hot when the sun comes up.

Thanks for a lovely stay! The views are sooo nice and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Location is hard to find

Not for everyone but we absolutely loved our stay, felt like a more authentic el Nido stay. Lovely hosts thank you!

Stayed in March 2024

A bit hard to find the first time. Bunk beds are a bit old, doesn't have shelf, socket, etc. I would have liked more of a "comfy common area".

Big, traditional wooden building. Very roomy inside, and right on the water. The couple who run the place are nice and helpful. Big lockers. Not that far from the center but quiet. I liked that it was in an area of the town that I probably wouldn't have visited otherwise. Breakfast (banana pancakes) were great!!

Stayed in February 2024

-horrible towels -Internet didn't work that great in the room -no mosquito net in the private room (but they offered to somehow put one up, if we need it) -the boat expedition we booked through them was a bit of a mess, but they reacted very well and understanding to our feedback

Great location, if you want it a bit more quiet, but still in walkable distance to the town center. The hosts are very welcoming and will help you to organize tours or plan activities. Also: -best breakfast pancakes!!!!!!!! -free water and tea -USB plugs -balcony with great view

Stayed in February 2024

The owners are very good people with a beautiful heart and that was reflected in all the experience of staying with them. The location is the best because is not in the main center but super close, just 10 minutes walking and because of that you get to sleep so good. So calm! There is a shared place where you can eat or use the computer or just chill with beautiful views of the see and you get the nice breeze so is not that hot there😊 They also offer very tasty breakfast 😋 One of the best things are the kids they live near by, they are so friendly always excited to see you. The whole experience made me feel as home.

Would love a comfy chair. No hanging space. It’s quite a way from the centre of town, well into the ‘local living’ area, making it tricky to find and navigate through (but also helped you see the other side of life). Bathroom is challengingly tiny with a shower head soaking everything in the room.

Gordon and his wife were lovely, very informative, helpful and flexible. The property had a good view, beds were fine, nice balcony, fan and air con, huge breakfast, free tea/coffee/water, organised transport.

We stayed in a 4 bed private room with our 2 kids. Had its own bathroom and little balcony Great location at the quiet end of El Nido and only a 5 min walk to the main area You need to walk through a little fishing village to get there which is really cool (locals are very friendly) Very friendly and helpful hosts who go out of their way to make sure you have a nice stay. Try the banana pancakes for breakfast, real good Great budget accommodation!

Excellent and helpful hosts!!

The bedroom was very hot, which made it difficult to sleep, but that was as a result of the weather, and out of the owner’s control.

The hosts and the location was amazing!
