Hostel did the most important thing well: it had comfortable beds with good air conditioning. However, the bathroom was a bit grim and it was a good 20min moped ride to Panglao where all the nice beaches snorkelling and diving are. They had a big kitchen and free light breakfast which was just coffee and toast. It wasn’t somewhere you would want to spend all day but that’s fine because you’re in such a stunning place that you wouldn’t want to.

Great staff - I forgot to get my deposit back but they still PayPal me the money which was really nice. You get free breakfast which is good and the rooms and toilets are fine. It says it’s not a party hostel so we knew it wouldn’t be very social. Location is pretty good near the port but still somewhat far from other things. Good stay though.
