Good value for money
Pros:

Close to main strip, staff very kind, family dinner was amazing and good value for money

Cons:

My first night there were drunk people drinking in the common area until the early hours it was hard to sleep. The paths leading to it have huge potholes and are very wet and muddy and the tuktuk drivers at night all tried charging stupid prices saying it’s because the road is bumpy. If you walk you will get muddy. I booked an airport transfer with them it didn’t come but they arranged a tuktuk for me I made it to the airport with 2 minutes spare

The best hostel I have ever been to!
Pros:

I honestly can’t recommend Yellow Banana enough!
what started as a short stay turned into a full month, simply because it felt like home.
From the very first day, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of amazing people. The staff are truly something special, so kind and genuine that they quickly became like family to me.
The hostel itself is fantastic and has a great location in General Luna! clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The beds are super cozy, and the shared kitchen is fully equipped, making it easy to cook and feel at home.

One of the best parts is the community vibe. Twice a week there’s a family dinner where everyone eats together, plays games, and connects, all for free. Plus, there are different activities every day of the week like spearfishing, padel, and rock climbing, so there’s always something fun to do.

This place is so much more than just a hostel. it’s an experience, a community, and a home. I left with unforgettable memories and friendships for life ❤️

Pros:

After a mistake with my flight time I booked last minute an extra night. Staff was exceptionally helpful and kind, I was able to check in early, and they help arrange transport to airport when I departed.

Cons:

Bathrooms, but my frustration is with Filipino bathrooms in general. The lack of separation between shower and the rest of the space is something I don't understand haha

Really amazing hostel
Pros:

Such a lovely vibe! The people working there are so friendly and helpful. The Dorm was good, nothing special but got everything you need. They clean Everyday. The location is very central, but you need to drive/walk a little bumpy road before getting to the mainroad. The planned so much fun activities and i met lovely other solo travelers. I really enjoyed my stay here, i truly recommend!

Most petfriendly hostel of Siargao
Pros:

Even if the mix-dorm had 10 beds, I felt a lot of intimacy, silence and the bed was super comfortable.
Staff is really kind, helpful and friendly. They also care for two dogs and two puppies that luckily feel safe in this place.
They have community dinners and there is a very beautiful sharing atmosphere.

Cons:

Bathrooms and shower were not very clean by the end of the day. They clean them every day, but maybe guests may not maintain them too clean neither. Despite having only one shower, I did never had a problem to access either bathroom or shower.

Hotel súper recomendable ! Family 🫶🏼
Pros:

El personal, el lugar, los perros, la comida, el ambiente!! TODO!
El mejor hostel de Siargao! Te sientes como en una familia, literal. Las family dinners son una fantasía, organizan juegos y cada día hay planes para que los huéspedes se conozcan y pasen un tiempo inolvidable. Solo quieren que tú estés bien y que estés feliz ahí.
Atardeceres, pádel, planes para ir al norte con el mejor guía!
Mil gracias a Janice, Jhaycee, and all the team for such a beautiful days 🩷

Cons:

Está cerca del centro pero si tengo que decir algo, la única pega es que hay un tramo sin asfalto y en días de lluvia era un poco fastidio si vas andando.

If you are traveling alone you want to go here
Pros:

Had a great time here. The rooms were very comfortable, the ac was working well (not too high like in other places). They have a WhatsApp group we’re they share activities to do together, so it’s really great to meet other travelers and the staff. The common area is very nice and is speaking tochang out there and make friends

Cons:

Nothing
