Amazing place not only for backpack travelers. We went there as a family (three kids) and had a fantastic time! So fantastic that we already booked our next stay there!

You definitely need to stay at this hostel if you are traveling in Boracay. They have the friendliest staff and really got to know everyone's name that was staying there. I was traveling alone and met so many great people because I was staying at Frendz. If (when) I come back to Boracay I will be staying here again. Thanks Reinhardt!~

This was the perfect hostel for Boracay. The management really has it together, and goes above and beyond. The location is a short walk from the best stretch of beach on Station 1... restaurants, bars, shops, massage, etc. If I ever find myself back in the Philippines I will definitely be going back here.

Very good hostel. Well situated, and run thanks to its owner, Reinhard. He's was very helpful and considerat to our needs. Somehow we had the feeling, that without him this place would definitely be at most regular. Nevertheless, with current management it's a great place to spend your vacation at. Recomended!

Thanks for your nice feedback! At different times we have different key people who are taking the lead in our daily operations. Actually, based on statistics of the last 2 years, the feedback is better if I'm not the one who is taking the lead :-) Cheers, Reinhard

The only issue with the hostel was the road leading to it. The path needs to be maintained, and a light would help travellers find their way when arriving at night.

Thanks for your feedback and overall excellent rating. We are aware that the path leading to our place is a bit a "challenge" at the moment. The good thing is that the path leading to the beach has already been improved some time ago, so once people are here, going to the beach is no problem. However, we are working on a project (together with local government and neighbours) to improve the situation also for the arrival path from the main road. Certain things are also a bit beyond our control so it may take some time until we have a significant improvement for that path.

Great place! this is by far the friendliest most sociable hostel i have ever stayed at, the open bar and lounge area is really relaxed with a pool table, and the staff are all really nice ! especially the owner Rienhart, he will go out of his way to help you with any enquiries.

Frendz can be a little hard to find but once you step through the gate, what a great experience. a lovely warm welcome and a free beer, what a better way to start. I stayed in a fan cabin, so big and spacious, timber floors, own balcony. I ended up having a friend on the floor sharing,the staff were very obliging and found a spare mattress. the cabin was more than big enough for the 2 of us. good sized bathroom and the best of all the sheets and towels are changed everyday. Great place to stay.
