Happy Monkey Hostel features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and bar in El Nido. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

You can play table tennis at the hostel, and bike hire and car hire are available. It was such a wonderful place where a lot of care has been given to the design and the facilities. The staff is extremely friendly, made us feel at home and really took care of us. We chose this place because it was close to the airport but we wished that we had booked more nights there! We had such a relaxing time at the pool and the hostel is close to Lio beach and about 10 min away from the center. We would love to come again one day.

At the hostel, every room comes with a terrace. Featuring a shared bathroom with a bidet and free toiletries, rooms at Surf House Palawan also provide guests with free WiFi. This is a brand new hostel and I loved my stay here, I kept on extending and extending :) Comfy beds, super clean, outdoor shower and great Indoor shower, nice terrace to sit and have coffee or do a little yoga session, very friendly and open-minded stuff. It's perfect for surfers the beach is 2 min walk away and the hostel has its own board rental. There is still some construction ongoing since they build more rooms, open kitchen etc but it's not noisy and also nice to have a little chat with the workers ;) we feed backed that it would be nice to have a little shelf next to the morrow and 3 hours later it was there! I really hope to be back next year, see you!

Situated within 4.3 km of Maquinit Hot Spring and less than 1 km of Coron Public Market, Kaiz Hostel features rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Coron. Attractively situated in the Coron Town Proper district, this hostel is located 1.7 km from Mount Tapyas. The property is 400 metres from the city centre and 2.6 km from Dicanituan Beach. Everything was great. Despite being 12 people in the room, it was very quiet and we had enough space for everything. There are big lockers under the bed, free coffee and water, 2 showers+2 toilets which was enough. The family was very helpful, friendly and empathetic. They kept my bag in their house for the whole day while I was gone for a day trip, and helped with booking the tour. I'd highly recommend if you want to sleep during the night.

100 metres from El Nido Beach, Frendz Hostel El Nido is located in El Nido and provides free WiFi and a tour desk. Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, this 1-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. Guests can enjoy Italian and Mexican dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the bar. Everything. Great location. Room was nice and clean. The curtained beds in the 6-share was so smart, the curtain blocks out the lights pretty well and if you want privacy, you get it! Comfortable bed and clean. The shared toilets and showers outside the rooms meant I never had to wait or queue up to use the toilet! The building itself was cool, minimal but trendy decor, comfortable seats in common areas. The rooftop pool was amazing with great views. Bar upstairs served great drinks and food at the downstairs cafe was delicious (try the adobo breakfast burrito - one of the most delicious things I ate in the Philippines but I love adobo so I may be biased!) The Frendz meet-ups and nightly events were so fun. I enjoyed the bingo and karaoke wayyyy more than I expected. But it was the staff that really brought everything together for me. This hostel has the BEST staff I have ever met at any hotel / hostel. Very friendly, very fun, extremely kind. Kaye and Mark, thanks for chatting me up while I sat by myself at the pool on my first day and introducing me to other guests. Mark the bartender, thanks for the excellent drinks and the friendly vibes. The other Mark, Nico and JD: thanks for bringing the great vibes to Frendz meet ups and nightly activities. Emcee, I didn’t meet you at the hostel until the very last day but thanks for bringing the energy to our night out. Shoutout to Jonathan (not from Frendz but part of the Frendz family) for showing me where the party is in El Nido. I had the best time dancing the night away with you, Kaye, Emcee and others. From strangers to Frendz indeed! Can’t wait to come back!
