Best social hostel in El Nido. Amazing rooftop vibes and incredible people. The staff organized an amazing island hopping tour for us!
Perfect atmosphere for meeting people and exploring El Nido together. The rooftop sunset views are absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend!
The rooftop sunsets and social atmosphere made this one of the highlights of my entire trip through Southeast Asia. Will definitely return!
Stayed for a week and it felt like home. Daily activities and social events create an amazing community. Best decision I made on my trip.
The female dorm felt safe and super clean. Staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Perfect spot for solo female travelers exploring Palawan.
Couldn't have asked for a better base to explore El Nido. The location in Corong Corong is perfect — close to everything. Lifelong memories made here.
