Loved my stay at Blau Hostel! The vibe is super chill, and the staff is super friendly. Plus, the Starlink Wi-Fi was great i could work comfortably without any issues. The small pool is perfect and they have the coldest beers I found in the Philippines. The location is very nice, close to everything but still peaceful. Definitely recommend it if you're in El Nido!

Almost every accomodation in Palawan is infested by cockroaches, this one is being desinsected by owner every day. Big plus for me. No bugs, no spiders, no animals. No technical issues in toilet&shower Perfect staff always available to help any time Cleanliness 100% Location

Lee and Maya are the absolute best hosts, super nice and accomodating. We ended up there because of a cancelled flight and were pleasantly surprised to find such a nice, friendly and chilled place which only added to our adventure. Maraming salamat!

Everything. Great location. Room was nice and clean. The curtained beds in the 6-share was so smart, the curtain blocks out the lights pretty well and if you want privacy, you get it! Comfortable bed and clean. The shared toilets and showers outside the rooms meant I never had to wait or queue up to use the toilet! The building itself was cool, minimal but trendy decor, comfortable seats in common areas. The rooftop pool was amazing with great views. Bar upstairs served great drinks and food at the downstairs cafe was delicious (try the adobo breakfast burrito - one of the most delicious things I ate in the Philippines but I love adobo so I may be biased!) The Frendz meet-ups and nightly events were so fun. I enjoyed the bingo and karaoke wayyyy more than I expected. But it was the staff that really brought everything together for me. This hostel has the BEST staff I have ever met at any hotel / hostel. Very friendly, very fun, extremely kind. Kaye and Mark, thanks for chatting me up while I sat by myself at the pool on my first day and introducing me to other guests. Mark the bartender, thanks for the excellent drinks and the friendly vibes. The other Mark, Nico and JD: thanks for bringing the great vibes to Frendz meet ups and nightly activities. Emcee, I didn’t meet you at the hostel until the very last day but thanks for bringing the energy to our night out. Shoutout to Jonathan (not from Frendz but part of the Frendz family) for showing me where the party is in El Nido. I had the best time dancing the night away with you, Kaye, Emcee and others. From strangers to Frendz indeed! Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing atmosphere and beautiful view! Everything is organised, clean and with a positive vibe. Unfortunately I cant remember the receptionist names but they are lovely. They welcomed very well… they called me for my name, they gave recommendations and a beautiful smile when I walked in. I’ve been travelling all Phillipines and so far it was the best place that I stayed. I booked a night and I ended up staying there 3 nights. $50pesos tuk tuk from town… 24hrs available. I had a very yum eggs Benedict and cappuccino. They play nice tunes and games at dinner time. The place is good to meet travellers. Perfect wifi connection. Fresh towel and sheets. Air co works perfectly. I stayed during the wet season and even I wasn’t able to go the beach I had so much fun. I highly recommend if you stay there… please tell them Fern miss them.

The Hostel is very welcoming, providing free breakfast to those staying. The staff and managers were all especially kind and treated you with respect & were able to help with trips and tours. It was my first experience in a hostel & I met loads of new people and had an unforgettable experience. The place had a perfect balance of fun & relaxing moments with the different activities they did every night which was also nice. An overall great place to stay for those on a budget and especially solo travellers

The hostel is very clean and modern. The staff is really great and helpful. The breakfast is very good, and the restaurant in the youth hostel offers really delicious dishes for cheap. The hostel is located just a two-minute walk from the city centre. I recommend, I had a very pleasant stay there👍👌

One of the best hostel I've been to so far. Located a little outside El Nido, the place is quiet at night. Great vibe and music until 8-9pm. Good value for money. The facilities are very good, first time I see bunk beds with double sized mattresses. Everything has been well thought about. The building itself is very cool and the space invites to chill. Breakfast is amazing, with omelet station and plenty of food. Staff is super nice.
