Ideal hostel for someone on the go!
Lovely hostel close to all amenities and the beach. Our room was basic room with 4 bunk beds and our private bathroom and shower. Towels are to rent, very cheap though. During our stay, there was an acoustic night, music was good, and the small bar was open for drinks. They also provide coffee and food during the day. This hostel is ideal of anyone who's always on the go: very close walk to the beach and D'Mall.

We stayed there on a rainy season. The street right outside this establishment was flooding which is inconvenient but the establishment itself is okay for budget backpacking.

Near white beach
My experience lacked, but I don’t think my experience is the norm, as most people who stay book a room. I stayed in a bamboo hut in the courtyard. Do not do that! Any who wish to reserve one of the bamboo huts in the courtyard should be warned that the courtyard bar blasts loud, annoying, electronic dance music until midnight from speakers that are just 5 yards/meters from your bed. Additionally, as the walls of the thin, bamboo huts are woven mats of leaves, you will hear all other night noise: pool/billiards from just a few meters/yards away, conversations, patron shenanigans, every conversation, people in the “room” next to you, roosters at 4-5am, dogs barking, as well as cigarette smoke and burning rubbish smoke all permeating your hut walls. Then, about 6am the open air kitchen, that is again, just feet from your porous bamboo hut walls will start buzzing with kitchen noise of about a dozen chatty people and their kids cooking, eating and cavorting away (and I was told there was no food available). So, if you want sleep and rest book a real room, not a bamboo hut in their courtyard. After all, the treatment and looks you get when asking questions or trying to get them to do something, like turn down the music volume will be unpleasant, as well. Additionally, the lone shower stall smelled strongly of urine and was littered with debris - and copious amounts of sand. No hot water. Of the two toilets neither have paper.

Get what you pay for
The place was fine. You get what you pay for. For example, the airconditioning was not great at all, there was no window in the room (this was a first for me) and the shower was over the toilet. However it was completely functional and safe and also in quite a good location.

Nice Backpacker Resort in Boracay
Hotel is situated in between station 1 and 2. This information is important as we originally thought that the hotel is situated in the middle of station 2. Our motorcab (tuktuk) driver dropped us off at the wrong location due to this confusion. Once we got to the hotel, the staff was really nice. The "lobby" was so refreshing. The rooms were kind of small but that is to be expected for a backpacker hotel. The restrooms both inside the room and in the common area were clean but lacked an exhaust system. On the other hand, the addition of a bidet is much-appreciated. Lest I forget, the bunk bed was kind of creaky. I sleep like a rolling pin and had to lie still the whole night at the upper bunk so that I won't disturb the slumber of the person in the lower bunk. Maybe they could make the bunk bed less creakier, if possible. Hotel is very close to the beach area but not that close that you would hear the loud music from the bars situated alongside the beach.

Budget friendly stay
I recommend this hostel for travelers who are in a budget. For 400-500 pax, you get a room for 4 with AC, a suprisingly massive and clean restroom, and a light breakfast. The hostel staff are friendly. I just don't like the attitude of the 1 foreign owner, where he just crash in to our room (without knocking) to check in another guest. Location is convenient, 5 min walk to dmall, 1 min walk to white beach.

Simple but nice and comfortable
It's a nice hotel if you are those who didn't never plan to stay long in hotel but instead of hanging around the island. Hotel placed in the middle of the island is the first choice for us to choose this because it just few minute walk to Dmall and our activities point.

They let us use the wrong room because they said it was overbooking. We paid for a standard room but they let us use a quad sharing room with 2 double deck beds. It was awful.
