I loved my stay at Papabo Backpackers Mactan!! The staff were so friendly—I’d like to give a special shoutout to Daisy for being so kind and easy to talk to for hours. The meal I had there was delicious, and the drinks are also very well made. The only con was the roach that appeared one night in my shower, but the staff were very kind and helped get rid of it! I’d definitely recommend staying here. :)
