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

Best hostel I’ve been so far.
Pros:

This is honestly the best hostel I have ever stayed in.
Jhaycee and Janice put so much heart and energy into everything they do, especially the activities and the family dinners. You can really feel how much they care. They will know how to take care of you.
The whole staff is absolutely adorable, kind, and welcoming.
This place is more than just a hostel: it’s a space for meeting people, connecting, sharing moments… it truly feels like a family.
When you travel, there’s nothing better than having a place that feels like home, and this hostel is exactly that. You’re always happy to come back at the end of the day.
I was supposed to stay only a week and now I just keep extending because it’s hard to leave.
Thank you Yellow Banana Family, I love you and you will be forever in my heart. 💛🍌

Cons:

Too much love and fun 🙃

Everyone should book this!
Pros:

The stuff is amazing, they make the environment very friendly, they organize family dinners and many activities. The hostel is great to meet people, and as it is not in the Main Street is quiet at night. They have filtered water to drink, they provide towel, the beds are very spacious and comfortable, they have big lockers to store the luggage. Overall very nice!

Cons:

They could have hand soap on the toilets, and the access road to the hostel is not good, but this is definitely not up to them.

Pros:

הצוות מקסים, דואגים לעזור בכל מה שצריך. יש ארוחות ערב משותפות שממש כיף. הדורמס נקיים ממש, יש את הפרטיות שלכם והמקלחת בתוך החדר. גם החדרים הפרטים נוחים, מרווחים הזרם קצת חלש אבל מים רותחים.
מלא צעירים מכל העולם והרבה ישראלים, כיף גם כקבוצה וגם למטיילי סולו

Cons:

5-10 דק הליכה מהגנרל לונה, אם אין אופנוע ההליכה לא הכי כיפית, הרבה חול ואבנים
