It’s in a good location. The bed in the 4 bed for was cozy. I liked karaoke night and the area infront of the reception to hang out and have a chat with someone. Also the receptionist was super nice and cute and made me feel very welcome.

The best Hostel for surfers in Siargao. It's active, there's a gym. Great people who work there. Mega words of appreciation for Jon , who organises time for hostel guests all the time, he probably has to earn a lot in this hostel because he is a high-class Expert

The hostel was definitely the right decision! The AC was working good and the staff is super friendly and they are planning a lot of group activities. I met a lot of nice people there and that was also the reason, why I extended my stay for another week! Surely I would come back!🫶🏼

Your home away from home

Pretty much everything. It has all you need for long term stay, kitchen, gym, hang out area, generator if there’s a power cut, social activities, good WiFi and great people.

A peaceful spot in Siargao with a gym and clean, comfort rooms. Tucked away from the main road, so after all the island parties you can come back and enjoy a quiet, restful sleep. Perfect balance of fun and relaxation!

Comfortable place to stay with a kitchen which is great for saving money on breakfast. Fairly social place, isn’t a massive hostel so you get to know people. The staff are standouts for me, always so kind and helpful. Would come back to see them. The hostel also offers tours to the north with John and that was such a cool experience. Close to surf spots and a short drive into town

(Honest review only) Bunk bed hostel first timer & never again!

The staff are friendly esp. Lani she's kind & helpful. The softness of bed and pillow is comfy, a/c is cold enough. Curtains for privacy.
