Not too bad for the rate and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The A/C stopped working in the middle of the night and the staff came in to reset it.

The water was slow to drain in the shower room and flows out to the floor by the sink.

Very clean and the owner was super friendly and helpful. In general a very good Hostel with a great view! Super clean and rooms were tidy!

The 2 guys working there were not very welcoming and a bit unfriendly on the arrival. But it changed a bit during my stay.

Place is very clean and has everything you need. You can see that the owners put a lot of effort to make you feel comfortable. Sunshine made me feel like home and helped me with every doubt I might have had

I stayed at JDL for two nights and it is highly recommended. Summer is a gracious host. Here are a few things you should know: 📍This place is top notch clean. Literally OCD standard. 📍Check In - 1.00 PM, Check Out - 11.00AM 📍Bunk bed comes with a towel, a blanket, a locker (along with dedicated key), hot/cold water filter. 📍Wi-fi is strong and covers the entire floor. 📍Within 2KM radius there is SM Mall, Bus Stand and more than 18 restaurants. 📍Within 2 minutes walking distance there is an asian restaurant, laundry shop and a grocery store. 📍Bonus: Rooftop gets a volcano view if the sky and weather is clear.

In March 2023, my aspiration of travelling to the Bicol region to see the grandeur of Mount Mayon was actualized. There were a number of hotel/hostel options to choose from when I was browsing a few websites; but the moment I saw JDL Residences Hostel, I immediately dropped all other options in mind. First, the picture of the facade attracted my attention; and when I reached the property, I wasn't disappointed. It has well-painted wide gates, a spacious front parking area, and a quiet and decent neighbourhood. Indeed, it is a very good place within a subdivision. The owners and their staff are truly good-hearted. On a scale of 1-10, the cleanliness of the whole hostel scores the highest, i.e.10. For the politeness of their hardworking staff, 10 as well; and for the facilities and overall comfort that I had experienced, I would give a score of 8.5 as it was just because the air-conditioning system was not in a state of readiness to operate. Standing electric fans are available, though. It is a score of 10 for value for money. Although the room allotted for my 7 nights/8 days of stay has 3 bunk beds for 6 pax, I was the only one who occupied it all throughout the week. However, I would have been happier if I had companions. All in all, I had a mega amazing stay in JDL Residences Hostel. Lastly, but the most wonderful blessing I had was having viewed from their rooftop _ the Mayon Volcano with its perfect cone and symmetry. To Ms. Summershine and family, to the staff Jerome and Jomar, THANK YOU very much for my enjoyable stay in your property. I pray and faithfully declare and claim for YOUR HOSTEL _ more guests, more blessings, and double portions of rewards from God.

The air-conditioning system was not in a state of readiness to operate.

Great location, great facilities and amazing hosts! This was our first stay in the Philippines and we are so glad it was! The hosts are very welcoming and will provide you with the best recommendations of places to check out during your visit! we loved it so much we extended a few more nights and there’s lots to explore in Legazpi! Also an incredible view of Mt Mayon right from the roof terrace! Thank you so much for our stay, would definitely recommend and stay would stay again!

Location is excellent it is overlooking the Mt. Mayon

Summer is the most amazing host that I ever met during my trip in Philipiness. She's so helpful and kind, she gave me a lot of suggestions of restaurants, places to visit and helped with the taxi at 4h30 am. The hostel is clean and nice, very well located less than 10 min walking to SM city - main bus terminal. You can see Mayon volcano from the rooftop.

For solo backpackers, it's missing a common chill area.

The staff is really friendly and everything is clean there. Summershine do her best and she is really helpful with everything, I felt really welcome there.

The hostel owner and all the staff were super nice and made us feel at home instantly. Definitely recommended!

1. Super clean - from reception area to rooms even bathrooms. 2. Strong water pressure - Been to many hotels/hostels in the Philippines mostly water pressure is low. 1st time we experienced showering with strong water pressure it was so satisfying. 3. The free unlimited drinking water! One of the best things for travellers like us. This place they have water dispenser for you to get water and that's hot and cold for free anytime. 4. Roofdeck! - They set up these table chairs for us in the morning enjoyed the breathtaking sight of Mt Mayon comes night time chilled with a cold beer. 5. Staff were helpful owner very friendly gave lots of help with tourists places also food and location restaurants.

Nothing to dislike. Worth every penny

I had a lovely stay in this hostel. Staff is friendly and the owner Sunshine, you can whats app her when you need information or help. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. The view on the rooftop is amazing:)

You need a tricycle or your own to get somewhere. But I think thats with every Hostel in Legazpi.

Clean ,and safe place to stay. The rooftop view of mt mayon was scenic . The place is accessible to the bus lines terminal. The staff are attentive to our needs , and gives suggestions on the tourist attractions of the city.

The doorknob is not working well, replacement needed . Water goes out of the bathroom floor . The tiles will be better if elevated in areas surrounding the shower cubicles. Food service / canteen will also help guests esp when the weather is not fine.

Incredible view of Mayon volcano from the rooftop. Very helpful and friendly staff

Great view from the rooftop of volcano. Very clean, the staff never stop cleaning

Too many signs with prohibitions and threats of charges or fines.

the rest rooms are clean. could improve each shower room by adding hooks for bags since this is a dorm type hostel. the roof top also has a great view of the volcano and it's fun to stay there early in the morning and in the evening

it's a little pricey with hidden fees.

The host is very accommodating, hospitable and approachable. The facilities, room, bed linens and towels are crisp and clean. The building/hostel itself is away from the city noise. We had a good night rest during our stay. The location is in the heart of the city, very near to banks, restaurants, a few km away from the Cagsawa Ruins and some tourist spots in the area.

Everything. From the place, staff, and service.

Nothing

very clean and Ms. Summershine is very nice and helpful..

Very accomodating.

Feel at home

all the staff were courteous. they helped me find an airport ride since my flight was at 4am. they offered a lot of assistance, from food delivery that I can use, to how I can navigate to the legazpi even though I was only there for a very short time.
