The location is perfect! You can walk 3 mins to the best party and return to complete silence. The place is very clean with great decor.

Common area is clean! Perfect beach vibe which offers numerous lazy pods which is perfect for chilling and relaxing. The property is very near the beach front which is just a minute walk on the adjacent alley. Also, the presence of a night shift security personnel adds up to a more pleasant stay.

It was a nice experience staying in the hostel. Stayed here for the third time already and I must say they did a good job on developing the place. Staff are reliable. I just hope they clean the restrooms more often (inside the dorms). Also once more thing they can do is to make their kitchen available from breakfast to dinner. It will be a great help to their guest if meals are available in their convenience most especially if they do not want to go outside to eat anymore during rainy season. Over all I still like the place. I also hope nearby establishments and this hostel help each other to clean up the puddles along the alley.

This was a nice oasis of calm just off the main street one side and the bustling beach the other. It had a nice chillout area in the central courtyard/garden. The double room was basic but a good size, nice bathroom, clean sheets and TV with cable channels.

I was on solo during my first stay and Im with my niece and nephews recently. They were first timers (boracay And Hostel Virgins) and they enjoyed this place. This place will not disappoint for sure. Partly owner, Ms. Janice and staffs like Jenn, Stella and James (to name a few) were too nice and very accommodating. Location and the place itself are for good experience. Clean rooms, corridors and bathrooms. Will surely coming back and would refer this place to my friends!

The staffs are friendly and just one minute walk to the beach. The place is nice especially at night time where you can chill and enjoy the music with the other guests in their mini bar.

They charge PhP 150 per hour on a poorly-maintained Billiard table and there was no available cue chalk to use. The slippery floor on the patio and corridors are unsafe especially during rainy season. Also, our bathroom flooring is very slippery. The tiles used might not be suitable for its intended use. The breakfast meals are too expensive. There were local canteens nearby the alley which offers cheaper food and also serves more. On our 2 nights of stay, we experienced power interruption which affects the comfort of our stay. However, this is beyond the control of the hotel management. Also, they have Diesel-powered generator which can power up lights only.

Kitchen is not always open. The bathroom are cleaned upon request, I have stayed in hostels where they make sure they clean the restrooms everyday. There are puddles along the alleys going to and from the hostel.

It was off season when we came to boracay the way to the hotel was flooded but the water isnt beach water it was canal water so its dirty. Before we enter the hallway to the room they make us remove our slippers they have a specific sign saying "take off your slippers or clean the floor your choice". Also they have a dog that pees on the hallway ~Ew. The bathroom has no exhaust fan if you take a dump the smell will take hours for it to go away. Also the bathroom has no towel rack. When we first entered the room the A/C was not working they had to transfer us to another room, the other room has no tv we kept complaining so they had to transfer us back to our original room they replaced the A/C But this time the tv didnt work they called a cable man to repair it.
