They had wide and relaxing lounge area. There’s complimentary light breakfast (bananas and bread). They had the best staff. Shoutout to Joy and Mark who made my stay amazing.
Bathroom is fine but would be better if we get a stand-up mirror

The room, bed and linen was very clean. The room had a private corner to change clothes. The common areas were well maintained. The lobby area was well decorate and with great ambience with a view of seashore. The staff, Joy, Joanna and James were extremely welcoming and helpful.
The water heaters in two of the bathrooms were not working.

Hier hat einfach alles gepasst. Man kommt als Gast und geht als Freund. Vom Personal bis zum Hotelmanager waren alle unglaublich nett. Das Hostel ist sehr zentral, im Zimmer denoch leiser als erwartet. Zudem ist es super sauber, zwei Damen halten das Happiness Hostel den ganzen Tag auf Hochglanz. Unter dem hippen Hostel befindet sich El Nidos coolste Bar in der man 25% auf das hervorragende Frühstück erhält. Auch Abends waren wir hier oft essen, da es einfach soo lecker war und die Atmosphäre gestimmt hat. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder hier her kommen (haben als Paar im Zweibett-Schlafsaal mit Stockbett geschlafen. Einziger kleiner Nachteil...) und können das Happiness Hostel uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
Achso, das Hostel bietet ständig Ausflüge, Pub crawls, etc. an, was super ist, um andere Backpacker kennenzulernen.
Es war alles super 😊

캡슐호텔 처럼 문이 있어서 좋았고, 방 안에 개인 사물함 자물쇠도 제공합니다. 티 종류랑 인스턴트 커피가 매일 제공 되고 아침에는 간단한 빵이 제공 됩니다. 위치도 해변가 근처라 아침에 눈떠서 바로 바다를 볼 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 직원들은 전부 친절하게 인사를 받아줬고 크게 불편한점 없이 지내다 왔습니다. 와이파이도 느리지 않아서 좋았습니다.
예약 당시 부터 1층 배드를 요청 했는데, 체크인 할때 1층이 비어 있었는데 2층을 배정해준점은 좀 아쉬움으로 남습니다. 2층 호스텔은 맨발로 다녀야 하는데 모래가 좀 많아서 아쉬움으로 남습니다. 밤에는 1층 레스토랑 음악소리가 크게 들리는데 귀마개 끼면 괜찮은 정도 입니다. 벽에 작은 선풍기가 달려 있는데 소리가 너무 시끄럽습니다.

Muy limpio, camas cómodas y con la privacidad de la mampara. Zona común agradable. Tienes plátanos y café gratis cada mañana.
Lo peor es la música del restaurante de abajo. Hasta las 12 de la noche no para y se escucha desde las habitaciones. Wifi solo en la zona común.

Excellent and friendly staff, so helpful and assisting in whatever you might need. Great vibe, balcony with ocean views, very chilled. Rooms and bathrooms are kept clean and beds are comfy. Nice snacks provided in the morning, but you have to hurry as stock doesn't last long.
Nothing to comment on here.

Beautiful place, very central, cool bar, good social space, good showers and toilets. good privacy due to pods. nice vibe. Staff very nice! Free coffee and water.
Doors to beds hard to open without being very loud. No Social events that would help connect. No cheap breakfast option other than a banana.

Posizione abbastanza centrale,
Posto molto accogliente, bene curato.
Buono il bar sotto
Stanza x due accogliente, comoda e con tutti i servizi
Forse ci potevamo essere più tour organizzati dall’ ostello. Ma tutto sommato vi erano diverse soluzioni anche nel desk

Little bit loud

Great location, helpful staff, quite clean especially for a hostel, always toilet paper in the bathrooms and soap for your hands, safe and chill environment
Not a big deal, but good to know that no soap is provided in the showers. Also, if you are traveling by van make sure you know that they only travel at certain times. I had to leave a day earlier due to this, but unfortunately couldn’t get a refund from my stay for that day because it was last minute. Not the hostel’s fault, but would be good to know as well.

Clean rooms with comfy beds and AC. The common space in the lobby is cozy with a great view. The location is perfect to explore El Nido. The café downstairs is a bit pricey but serves great food. Would definitely recommend this hostel.

I loved the hostel! It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. I liked there were not many people to one room and each bed had sliding doors for more privacy!
The staff were exceptional. Always willing to help and available when needed. They really make you feel like friends and create a happy environment. The location was perfect and in walking distance to everything. Shops, restaurants, banks, bars, and the beach!
The pillow was very flat! But that is personal preference.

Location, staff and privacy of bunks were great. The staff helped to book vans, tours, etc. There is bread and condiments accessible for a free breakfast, plus also 25% discount from cafe downstairs for a delicious breakfast.
Bathrooms were very humid, very noisy room late in the night due to being on the Main Street, getting down from the top bunk was an extreme sport, fans in capsule were very loud but without them it could get stuffy, tour that was booked through the hostel was so overcrowded.

Was erg fijn en mooi ingericht. Gratis water en in de ochtend ook banaantjes en broodjes. Goede locatie en goede prijs.
Je mag geen schoenen of slippers binnen dragen. Ik wil graag slippers in de douche dragen. En je hebt dus constant zand aan je voeten, zeker met natte voeten. Bah. En er sliepen alleen maar mannen op mijn kamer? Verder was het hostel niet echt sociaal.

Es super bonito, tiene una sala común con juegos, libros, y columpios mirando al mar. Las habitaciones y baños super limpios, cómodos con aire acondicionado y dentro de cada litera un ventilador. La gente super agradable y esta en la calle del puerto super céntrico.

The location is good
I was put an only woman in a room full of man. The showers walls are rocks and everything is very slimy and un clean. Problems I raised withe the stuff where not treated at all. The doors that hide the bads were noisy and keeps waking me up...

The staff were very helpful and friendly also the location is very central.
The showers looks old and the loud music in the bathroom and reception. Could not sleep well because of the loud fan in the room and in the hallway
8.0
It is located in the town proper so it is accessible to travel tours, restaurants, and all. I also like the design, it feels like it is easy to speak to other guests because you might be sharing a room with them or just casually hangout in the lounge area. Overall, it was worth it and fun. Love the swing 💗
The stairs of the bunk bed, it’s kind of hard to go up if you’re not that tall.

clean and friendly hostel. location is perfect.

9.0
The location is right in the heart of the action in El Nido and the staff were so friendly throughout my stay.
I had an issue with the room temperature and it was fixed straight away and they also organised an island tour for me which was really fun.
The rooms were spacious and the most privacy I've had in a dorm bed because of the sliding door.
As mentioned in other reviews its quite a small hang out space so sometimes there wasn't really anywhere for me to sit.
