The hostel is very clean with staff swiping the floors and cleaning the common areas pretty much all the time. All staff members are super nice, professional and helpful. The beds are very comfy and spacious, and the sliding doors to the beds make it seem very private, although you are in a dorm. I enjoyed also the free coffee and simple breakfast. Air con worked well.

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!

Super spacious and homey. Quite area yet close enough from downtown by foot (5 min). Nash always makes the point to check in to make sure everything is in order or if I need anything. Supplied bowls and plates to cater to my needs when I make meals (breakfast & supper). Free coffee tea & drinking water. Super clean. Hot water with good pressure. Air cond is excellent, super quiet. Big lockers and indoor slippers provided along with towels. Dorms beds are very well laid out, have all a backpacker would need. They even provided 2 hangers if you want to hang anything. Wet clothes can hang at the courtyard. When Nash is away, he had his assistance to look after the property, and I felt super secure. Extended one night. Probably one of the best dorms out there in Coron or even in the Philippines. Don’t think so much and just book. You won’t regret it.

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!

For me the best hostel in Coron. We booked last minute and were not expecting much, famous backpackers hostels were fully booked. We loved the rooms, big mirors to get ready & warm water in the shower. Location is absolutely perfect in town. The hostel is also in a sort of food court building where it‘s soooo nice to chill, and we ended up eating there everyday. The cocktails from bam bar are reallyyyy good!

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👍👌

It's near the beach. I really love going out early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Even if you stay out late they will not mind because the hostel does not close early. The palce is well maintained and clean. It's cheap bunk bed yet comfortable to sleep.

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.

Very clean and comfortable hostel, small dorms, good privacy curtains, each bed has a power point and light. Clean showers, good AC. Very friendly staff and good breakfast. Location down some dark back roads, didn't feel safe walking on my own but very cheap for a tuk tuk and when I was with someone felt ok.

Probably the best hostel I stayed in, very private place to sleep (with the door and the shelves and private fan and light and pretty spacious). Great location, very friendly staff, water and snacks for free. It was a great experience!
