Would recommend in a heartbeat
Pros:

The team here are lovely and the rooms are immaculate. Great air conditioning, great internet, nice pool and general atmosphere is really good. Easy to get around from and they have a generator / run on solar so they don’t lose power when the rest of the island does!

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

The swimming pool and reception staff

Cons:

Not the hostel’s fault, but hard to sleep at night due to people back from partying and being noisy in the room late at night.
Make sure you photograph every scratch on your motorbike if you’re renting one from them as they will check absolute every corner of the bike and will ask you for evidence that any damage was there before

Een plek waar je eigenlijk niet meer weg wilt. Paradijselijk en altijd iets te beleven.
Pros:

De locatie is ideaal, net wat rustiger gelegen maar nog steeds centraal. Het zwembad is prachtig en precies goed om wat baantjes te trekken en om te ontspannen in het bubbelbad. De sfeer is heel prettig, mede dankzij het vriendelijke en behulpzame personeel. Het beste hostel waar ik ooit verbleven heb.

Cons:

Ik zou het niet kunnen bedenken. Dat ik mijn boeking niet kon verlengen omdat er geen beschikbaarheid was..

Pros:

Zwembad was top!

Cons:

Er hing een erg muffige lucht in de kamer. Het water uit de douche rook ook niet lekker, maar dat is volgensmij overal in siargao.

Super Partyhostel mit etwas harten Matratzen
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und der Pool aussergewöhnlich gut. Das Personal ist unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Das Hostel organisiert täglich Aktivitäten, an welchen man teilnehmen kann.

Cons:

Das Hostel ist ziemlich auf Party ausgelegt. Das muss man mögen, da die Gäste jeweils alle erst am Morgen früh nach Hause kommen. Da man sehr viel Privatsfähre im Mehrbettzimmer Bett hat, lädt es ein, die Nacht zu zweit im Dorm zu verbringen, was störend ist für andere Gäste. Ausserdem sind die Matratzen extrem durchgelegen und unbequem.
