The PEOPLE - both the staff and other travellers. Incredibly friendly and accommodating staff, they’d even remember your name and always greet you with a smile + they always make an effort to help socialise. Also met other super/likeminded travellers. Like that they have a restaurant/bar attached too

This hostel just opened up, it is really a hidden gem! The rooms are comfortable (4 beds in one room), the have a nice and big chill out area with a roof top and even a bar/restaurant where you can order meals and drinks, I only ordered one time but it was really good. What really made it a 10/10 for me was the staff! Everyone was so extremely friendly, helped me book all my tours, a scooter and took care of every question I had. I was greeted everyday with a smile and felt super welcome, I'd come back anytime! P.s. the owner (or employee?) even has two sweet, small dogs that chill in the area sometimes, they were a pleasure to meet 🤭

The host Amor was very accommodating and can make almost any arrangement for you: tours, rentals, transportation. She made my stay an unforgettable experience. It is a quiet location, there's good WiFi, AC, hot showers, free coffee. A nice affordable Filipino restaurant on the street corner, close to the hostel. I extended my stay.

Great location and clean facilities - what more could you ask for in a hostel! Had a spontaneous one night stay there since the ferry got cancelled, and was positively surprised. Price is a bit on the expensive side. But overall it’s great. Also a nice crowd that stayed there. Would recommend.

The people here are amazing, really helpful,kind and fun. The tours are amazing as well, you should definetely book with them. Nice programs also. The place was clean with lockers for our staff, they have hairdryers downstairs if youd need, they also let me stay last day until night and gave me towels to go to the beach and have a shower till I was waiting for my plane. Will definetely come back.

Loved my stay at Blau Hostel! The vibe is super chill, and the staff is super friendly. Plus, the Starlink Wi-Fi was great i could work comfortably without any issues. The small pool is perfect and they have the coldest beers I found in the Philippines. The location is very nice, close to everything but still peaceful. Definitely recommend it if you're in El Nido!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

The hostel is very clean and modern. The staff is really great and helpful. The breakfast is very good, and the restaurant in the youth hostel offers really delicious dishes for cheap. The hostel is located just a two-minute walk from the city centre. I recommend, I had a very pleasant stay there👍👌

One of the best hostel I've been to so far. Located a little outside El Nido, the place is quiet at night. Great vibe and music until 8-9pm. Good value for money. The facilities are very good, first time I see bunk beds with double sized mattresses. Everything has been well thought about. The building itself is very cool and the space invites to chill. Breakfast is amazing, with omelet station and plenty of food. Staff is super nice.

Probably the best hostel I stayed in, very private place to sleep (with the door and the shelves and private fan and light and pretty spacious). Great location, very friendly staff, water and snacks for free. It was a great experience!
