4 day solo stay
Reviewed By ThatTravllerGuyStayed in the 6 bed hostel room for a period of 3 days. Picturesque little rooms with breathtaking roof top views! Cleanliness: 5/5 Privacy: 5/5 The hostel rooms have attached CRs which is a huge + in comparison to other hostels Location: 5/5 Very convenient location lots of small stores near by, market, beach, party locations etc very close by Safety: 5/5 My stay was made even more comfortable because my room had a solid cupboard-locker in which I could leave my belongings without having to worry about their safety.

Dirty and claustrophobic
Reviewed By zedavimThe room I was given (room 106) doesn't reflect AT ALL the pictures or the description on the booking page. For starters, the ceiling is 1,85m meters high and it feels very claustrophobic. I've never in my life seen something like this, and I've been staying in different accommodations in the Philippines for one month. You'll see it on the pictures how I'm not exaggerating (keep in mind I'm 1,83m tall - 6 foot). Secondly, the room is full of stains, mold and dead bugs smashed against the ceiling (again, the ceiling is very low) that look disgusting. I asked the management to deep clean the room two days in a row, which made no difference because their cleaning standards are very low (or maybe they didn't even tried to clean it). Then I asked the admin employee (Jolly) to follow me to the room so I could show him the cleaning issues that the room had, so they could properly clean it. When I started pointing out the problems, he only repeated over and over "that is our standard room". Later he said that room was 4 years old and needed to be renovated, and there was nothing that could be done now. When he said that, I asked him how they could be renting the room if they knew it was not in good conditions, to which he suggested we should go back to the reception and talk to the manager. Back in the reception, Jolly went to an adjacent room to talk to the manager; I saw the manager was looking at him with a uninterested attitude and she didn't leave her chair or said not them 5 words to him. So Jolly came back to talk to me and said I could move to a triple or quadruple room if I paid the full difference. Basically his answer was give us more money. In the end, I moved to the other available standard room (room 101), which was in a better condition than the original one, but still has a 1,85m meters high ceiling and is literally 3 meters away from the restaurant, which serves breakfast at 6h30 (that means it's noisy early in the morning). By the way, both rooms have windows facing the corridors, so you'll never open the curtains, which makes everything even more claustrophobic. I proceeded to complain to Booking.com about the room condition, and a few hours later I was told by the front desk that the property offered to refund one night of my stay because of my complaint, to which I accepted. The following day, at 11h30 AM, Jolly sent an email via Booking.com saying that to get the refund I should leave the room immediately. In other words, they were not refunding me one night, they wanted to expel me from the hotel with 30 minutes notice. Save yourself some trouble and go to another of the numerous hotels in El Nido.

Pleasant and Wonderful Stay
Reviewed By heyraheyraJust checkout this morning and we already miss the hospitality of your staff. Rooms are clean especially the bathroom. With free tea and coffee outside the room. Pros: Staff are all nice especially the guard. Cons: No signal for Globe subscribers. No internet connection.Wifi is not working inside the room. I think the issue is more on the location and they don't have control about it.

Average stay at an average hostel
Reviewed By Eloise WWe stayed at Laule’a hostel for one night on our way to our final location. The hostel was functional, clean and basic. It was a shame that the rooms did not have windows and although the hostel had been recently renovated, there was still building work going on. Also it’s important to note that rooms are up steep steps. Luckily enough, one of the Tuk Tuk drivers helped us with our bags, but it would have been difficult without him. We found the attitude of the staff at the hostel to be less hospitable than the service that we experienced in the rest of the Philippines. Overall was hostel was in a good location and we got what we paid for.

Never stay here!
Reviewed By erivancpmTHE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! More than not recommended I discourage you to stay here! first we agreed on the price of 2 nights and 3 days package at 5.200₱, we transferred half before going to El Nido, after we arrived they said that we should pay additional 200 for something about the package and the government, next day morning they said that it was a mistake, instead of 200 we should now pay 400₱ for the same reason. But the worst thing was that night when they told us to pay additional 2800₱ because they made a mistake computing the whole package. If thats not stealing I don't know how to call it. We had to pay almost double of what we agreed initially for a mistake they made. Very disorganized, even they served us a mistaken breakfast (hot dog isbtead of omelette). On top of that the water in the toilet has no power so we had to take showers very near it so the water can reach, wifi doesn't work properly and they don't provide toiletries, only half of a roll of toilet paper, so for that amount for sure we could have had a better accommodation, we chose them for the price and it felt as a scam. Hope this experience serve you all to avoid this place.

Best value for money
Reviewed By SairaMargaritaWe got the highest tier beachfront access villas with AC. We were pleasantly surprised to find that dormitels was connected to eco hotels, a bigger and higher end hotel, and the staff was more than helpful. Every time before we left the hotel we inquired how much a trike would cost from that location. The given price by the drivers was always higher and we chewed them down to the price given by them. Location is great as even tho it is really not in front of the beach as advertised, it’s part of a little cluster with some of the best food we found on the island! Altrove for pizza and the Israeli falafels were to die for!

Déçu
Reviewed By allant cL’accueil est top aucun problème pour ça mais ce qui est des wc et douches une horreur !!! Très sale, chasse d’eau ne fonctionne pas ou ne sont même pas tirés !!! Les chambres sont basic mais font très bien l’affaire pour 1 nuit. La Wifi fonctionne bien.
