On Board Panglao Beach Hostel and Resort

Don’t waste your time staying here. They put us in a different room to the one we had booked online as they didn’t have the correct one ready. Turns out it was a cheaper room without the ensuite we had paid for. Instead we had access to a disgusting shared bathroom covered in bugs and mould all over the walls. When we asked if we could be refunded the difference in price they refused. As there’s no food available nearby we ate in their restaurant. The food was expensive and terrible. Don’t go.

It was awesome other than the huge walk to get there. The maps take you the complete wrong directions. Then when your on the right road it ends and you have to walk through the bush on the beach and hope your going the right direction. But the hostel is amazing. Great beach and the reef about 100 metres out is incredible. Food needs improving, beers are expensive, but the family that is running it are amazing.

I booked a 4 bed private room, was placed in a 2-bed private (cheaper room than the one I paid for - 4 bed had double bed, 2 bed had small twins). Internet/wi-fi didn't work, sheets were dirty, shower barely had any pressure, toilet seat was broken. Quality was lower than expected, but mostly irritated that I paid for a more expensive room than the one I was given.
