Pros:

The social area upstairs was great, liked the pool table always met lots of people there! The bathrooms were cleaned regularly but hot water ran out quick so I suggest showering before the rush. Good kitchen area and shared fridge if needed. Staff were super kind and remembered my name which was thoughtful. The hostel is next to a nice breakfast place called low tide and you can walk to other cafes/ shops, but recommend a scooter.

Cons:

My room was super cramped as I was placed in the top bunk right next to the door so my locker (underneath the bed) would open and stop people opening the main door or the main door would get opened onto me by accident, so slight problem with room logistics. Wish the bed lamp was adjustable but it just faced down onto my pillow. For the price of the stay I would expect these little things to be though about

Pros:

Pool was clean, private rooms were gorgeous.

Cons:

Dorm rooms didn’t have keys or locks on the doors. Toilets never had toilet roll every morning I had to find staff to open storage and give us some.

Would come back for sure!
Pros:

Very nice, social Hostel with a great pool and nice chilling areas. Bathroom is outside of the rooms and gets cleaned everyday. They also offer many activities and the staff, especially Listher, was so friendly and kind!

Cons:

the rooms (I was in a 10 dorm) were a bit small (especially if you have a big backpack) but it was still fine

Super fun, clean, comfortable hostel with great facilities
Pros:

Loved all the different areas around the hostel - upstairs bar and chill areas during the day, beautiful pool area, chill lobby area. Rooms were comfortable, deluxe rooms were nice and spacious (definitely recommend booking over the standard room if you can afford it!). Family dinners were really nice, good way to meet people and good value too (although there's also so many delicious places to eat in Siargao too so lots of options). SUPER nice vegan restaurant across the road. Nice balance of social activities if you're up for it but not pressured if you're not. One of the best hostels I've stayed in, I'd say!

Cons:

The drawers in the standard rooms were a bit awkwardly placed for what bed you were assigned - if you were in the top bunk, your locker was right by the one below's face! Quite awkward when getting your stuff in the morning if they're still asleep 😂 AC was also really cold and staff had the controls, but I understand it's hard accomodating temperature to lots of different people

Würde jederzeit wieder buchen
Pros:

Ich hatte ein Privatzimmer und kam sogar noch mal zurück, weil es mir sehr gut gefallen hat. Schönes Zimmer und Bad + Zimmer am Pool. Die Dusche hat einen guten Druck.

Cons:

Es ist nicht ganz zentral. Mit Tuktuk oder Roller ist man aber sehr schnell im Zentrum.
