Ruidos a todas horas

La ubicación

Extremadamente ruidoso, teníamos el bar en la planta de arriba y no pudimos dormir las dos noches, gente hablando y gritando por los pasillos a altas horas de la noche. Si solo buscas fiesta es una buena opción. Si quieres descansar, nada recomendable.

Great parties in the evening, quiet dorms at night.

Very clean, and although it is a party hostel, after 11pm it is very quiet!

Cool !

Très bel hôtel et très bon rapport qualité prix. Nous avons pris une chambre individuelle, la chambre était très bien pour le prix. L’hôtel est très bien situé.

Niveau de bruit très élevé jusqu’à 23h. Après 23h par contre, le bruit s’arrête et les gens sont respectueux. Je recommande plutôt pour un séjour entre amis qu’en couple.

Happy stay and i will comeback kudos to Frendz

Location was great when i arrive the staff was great they always greet room was great faciilities was great evrything was really nice i love the hanging strings outside the room so you can hang your wet clothes from island hopping activities i didnt use the pool on the top building coz its too crowded a lot of foreigners guest in this property its fun overall if you are stsying here isuggest you are a party people Bed was compy they make it up everyday they cleaning the room so well thumbs up for that friendly staff they have their own booking for island hopping so its hassle free if your planning for your tour.

If your planning to stay here and sleep early bring earplugs its too noisy party but they stop at 11 pm wifi only outside, in the room was too poor connectivity even my cellular data is not active something is blocking inside the room but i slept well

Buona opzione!

Posizione centralissima, ben comunicato. Ostello carino e staff gentilissimo, sempre attento alle esigenze di tutti gli ospiti. Camera spaziosa a comoda.

Peccato non ci fosse una cucina condivisa in ostello, per poterne usufruire. Il prezzo di per sé è abbastanza caro e anche i prezzi del ristorante sono alti.

Péssima!

Nada. Péssima experiencia! Não se hospedem!

Reservei um transfer de el nido para puerto princesa com o Hostel e o motorista estava alcoolizado, dirigindo rapido e com muito sono, quase dormindo. Solicitei para parar o veiculo e tomar um cafe e o mesmo se recusou a fazer. Um absurdo um hostel famoso nas Filipinas colocar a vida dos hospedes em risco de tal maneira! Não se hospedem la, caso se hospedarem de maneira alguma reservem o transfer com eles.

Be aware of VAT scam

This hostel has everything you need really and it is right where you want to be.

Be aware that if you use booking.com for this hostel, they will charge you extra, so better book directly via them. It feels kind of like a scam because they make it look like a VAT, which it isn't, they are just passing on the booking.com commission, but they don't declare it when you book.

Nice hostel but be aware of the "tax-scam"

The room had two queen size beds, towels were provided and we had a private bathroom and obviously AC. The towels were nicely arranged on the bed. But nothing that swept me off my feet.

There was some hair laying around here and there, but that wasn't too dramatic. Also if you book via booking.com they will put the booking.com commission on top of your booking and declare it as a tax, so you end up paying more and because they declare it as a tax (which it isn't) booking.com doesn't do anything about it. But you are better off booking the hostel directly via their website.

Great option

Very comfortable rooms and great facilities. Tours were fun and well organised. Great place to meet people.

Bathrooms require updating - shower head was at waist height, so needed to be held above head the entire time, and the bathrooms just look/smell a bit funky.

Estuvo bien para una noche pero pudo ser mejor

La piscina tiene una buena vista y tiene buen ambiente, habitaciones y baños limpios, en general buenas instalaciones y ubicación.

Con algunas excepciones de dos personas muy amables algunos miembros del personal eran bastante secos algo que no es comun en filipinas donde el persona suele ser amable, los lockers para guardar cosas en la habitación compartida estaban malos.

I had a lovely stay at the frendz hostel.

I liked the rooftop area. It has a beautiful view, pool and bar.

I didn’t like that it doesn’t have a fridge in the room.

Passable

Aircon was good kept the room nice and cool. Staff were friendly and helpful. Entertaining events planned for each day.

Shower didn't drain very well, kept clogging. Terrible wifi on the floor we were staying on - didn't have a connection unless we were pressed up against the bedroom door. Noisy bedroom (306) right next to communal bathroom for the dorms - kept getting woken up at like 2/3AM

Excellent choice for hotel / hostel with some room for improvement

very clean and well located. Spacious private room. New facilities. Cool decor. Good vibes, good crowd and awesome rooftop pool party. Haqqy Life organizes the best tour in El Nido. Don't hesitate to book the tour with them and book in advance before sold out.

The private room is right next to the public washroom / shower so it doesn't quite make sense. Shower is not fixed on the wall so have to hand hold it all the time when taking shower.

Great stay but be aware that can be noisy at times

Staff was very helpful with any request, as in most places in Phillipines. Very clean and comfortable beds. Very social. The rooftop is amazing and there is plenty of games and opportunities created by staff to meet other people, even if you are a little shy.

Quite noisy at night. This can be a problem if you are not in the mood. However, around midnight becomes quiet :)

It's a great hostel but a bit overrated.

Great location, you can book boat tours easily with them, the pool is great but a bit smaller than expected

The WiFi was not too great but still better than in most places around

Make Friendz 🤣 for life

The location of the Hotel is perfect if you want to stay in the heart of El Nido. Happy Life tours are perfectly located on the premises and are the best operator to book island tours through.

We understand the nature of the booking and everything was acceptable.
