    Great atmosphere and proximity to the beach made for a fun and convenient stay during the new year festivities. the hostel offered free coffee and had knowledgeable staff who gave helpful advice about our travel route. the hostel organized canyoning activities, which provided a thrilling and memorable experience.

    The room cleanliness left much to be desired, with dust and hair scattered around the bed. the mattress was also dirty and uncomfortable.

    Incredibly welcoming staff, offering a complimentary drink upon arrival. Conveniently located near the beach, shops, bars, and restaurants. Clean and comfortable rooms with a unique touch - a toilet inside. Hammocks outside the rooms for relaxation. Great place to meet fellow travelers.

    I had an amazing stay at a cute bamboo hostel with a very relaxed and adventurous vibe. The owner, Babu, was absolutely lovely and took great care of me during my stay. She helped me organize a canyoneering tour at a really affordable price which turned out to be a blast. Babu even lent her personal camera to another guest for the tour. On top of that, she organized a special boodle fight dinner for a guest's birthday, which was a unique and memorable experience. The wifi worked well, there was always coffee available, and the staff was super friendly. I highly recommend this place for its great vibes and the caring attitude of Babu. Totally worth it.

    Some guests mentioned that the shower and bathroom spaces were a bit messy with leftovers from previous guests and sometimes no toilet paper. Additionally, being located on a main road, there was some noise from passing motorbikes and nearby music.

    The location of this hostel is convenient, being just a short walk from the beach. Guests also have access to free drinking water and coffee, as well as a kitchen for those who prefer to cook their own meals. The staff here is friendly, providing assistance with various needs such as motorbike rental and finding popular snorkeling spots.

    The cleanliness of the bathrooms leaves much to be desired.

    I stayed at Babu Backpackers for a few nights and had an amazing time. The staff, especially Babu, were so friendly and helpful. The location was great, not too far from the beach. They provided free drinking water and coffee, and there was even a kitchen if you wanted to cook your own meals. The rooms were good for backpackers and there were hammocks to relax in. a really nice hostel with a great atmosphere.

    Would recommend this place.

    The rooms at Babu Backpackers Inn were great! The private bathroom had a shower and a hairdryer, which was so convenient. I loved having a pool view from my room, it added a nice touch to the atmosphere. The tile/marble flooring and the air conditioning made the room feel cozy and comfortable. Plus, the bed linen and towels were provided, which was a nice bonus. I had a fantastic stay as an adult guest.

    The shared bathrooms were not my favorite. It's just a personal preference, but I found it more convenient to have a private bathroom.

    I stayed at Babu Backpackers Inn for a few nights and it was incredible. The receptionist, Mika, gave us amazing tips on snorkeling spots where we saw millions of sardines and even some turtles. She also took us to her favorite sunset spot. The owner, Babu, was equally awesome, sharing taxi information and her backpacking stories. The hostel had a relaxed and adventurous vibe, with helpful staff, good wifi, and free coffee. I wish I could have extended my stay!

    I highly recommend this hotel.

    This place is great for those on a budget. the staff, especially Babu, are incredibly helpful and friendly. They assist with motorbike rental, buses, and even recommend places to eat and where to go snorkeling or find snorkel kits. the hostel is clean, with powerful fans and good air conditioning. the atmosphere is enjoyable and there is a cozy relaxation area with hammocks. the rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are clean and luxurious compared to other hostels. the location is perfect, within walking distance to the beach and good restaurants. It's excellent value for money.

    Felt like a true getaway, no complaints.

    The ants were a delightful surprise, adding a touch of nature to my room. And the lack of AC? It made me appreciate the warmth of the Philippines even more. Just lovely!

    Can't believe I had to endure clean sheets, friendly staff, and a range of activities to enjoy in beautiful surroundings. Oh, and did I mention the free parking?
