We stayed here for 2 nights and, although we enjoyed our stay here and quite liked the location, it wasn't anything special. The couple running it were really nice, but the place lacks a bar area or something similar to socialise. We stayed in a 4 bed room, which was clean and decent. Not a bad place to stay overall if you want a quiet stay at reasonable price

Cold shower and you have to poor water in the toilet to flush. But otherwise than that it was wonderful. The owners and very sweet and the place has a lovely atmosphere. Only a two minute walk to white beach.

Owner Comment (Hide)
I feel that this customer forgot to mention the great service we give. We woke up at 4am to unlock the room for her because she came home drunk separately from her companions and when they transferred to another resort she forgot some personal items, so we emailed her to let her know that we were keeping them safely for her. We always warn guests when they book that we do not have any hot showers in the bathrooms; after all we are only a budget hostel.

Trafalgar Cottages is an excellent place to stay while visiting Boracay Island. The location is good, price is right and the character is one of a kind. The staff was extremely helpful with anything i needed and were always friendly. And I can't forget about the killer hammocks out front of the rooms.

Thanks for a lovely stay. Trafalgar cottages offers fantastic value for money, friendly staff and well appointed rooms. The location is great, a 5 minute walk from the beach and right next to a handful of convenience / food stores. There's a nice cafe next door for breakfast and shared cooking facilities. The rooms were very clean and we really enjoyed the hammocks. If we come back to Boracay we will definitely stay here again. Thanks again Julia.

It was a nice place. We were a bit shocked by the entrance but once we got in, we sighed in relief as we saw the nice interior courtyard. It is a good place, central location, close to the beach and the owners were very kind and helpful.

I like staying in Trafalgar. Feels like at home. The owner is very friendly and helpful as well as the staff. I definitely would like to stay there again and actually I have advised my friends to stay there when they are visiting Boracay.

Me and couple of friends stayed here for 1 week. Everything about this hostel is excellent. Very clean, close to the beach and the main area for nightlife is only a 5-10 minute walk away. This is great as you are close to a wide range of bars and restaurants, yet away from the noise that a vibrant beach brings during the hours of darkness. My favourite thing about Trafalgar is the staff. They are genuinely some of the nicest people I have met and are always willing to help. I felt very welcome.

Clean rooms, palm trees and hammocks, 5 minutes walk from the Islands main 'white beach'. There's a place right next door which serves food including a decent hot breakfast. No hot water but overall great value for money.
