EL Nido Homestays

The best hostel around. Amazing activities, from the daily island hopping tours to the evening games. Great kitchen with delicious food and good drinks. Comfortable and clean rooms with a great location and incredible sunset view. But the best thing about outpost is the staff. Always on hand to make your stay better, forever happy and engaging. Really the best group of people that I will never forget. Thank you Outpost.

The hostel staff is great, very accommodating, helpful, smiling and always greets us. This is the best hostel I have experienced so far. We stayed for 3 nights and the room is very clean. They always clean it every day and when we were gone doing a tour outside, our room was already clean with new towels. I love the nice design of the hotel as well as the breakfast, which is good. I enjoyed their unlimited pasta for dinner. Lastly, it's very near the town proper, within walking distance. We only have issues with the door lock, but the staff was very fast to fix it, which is excellent. Highly recommended!

Amazing location spent the whole day on the beach relaxing! Exactly what we needed. Delicious food, great-priced drinks, and super awesome staff members. Some minor points, the loft we chose was great however the fan was WAY TOO LOUD. Probably needs replacing with a new one. The bathroom/showers were cleaned well though could do with a face-lift, the soap dispensers were also always empty. Overall, we'd stay again but would be better prepared!

Buenavista Mansion is a recently renovated teak building with pretty much all the facilities we could expect. The owner, Nouk, was great and clearly enthusiastic about his guesthouse. Throughout our stay, he helped with tours, tickets, and more. The main negative is that it's very close to the main road , so it's a bit noisy in the rooms.

Nice place to stay, just 5 mins to the beach and there service is the best. Wish can go back very soon...

The superior apartment is perfect for a family. It is right by the ferry port and close to all the restaurants and shops, but is at the quiet end. The WiFi isn't the best but that was good because it meant the kids weren't on their phones all the time! The shower was either super hot or cold, but again not really a problem because who wants a hot shower in 30⁰C+ heat?? Lovely local people living near by too. We loved our stay here.

Casa Yolanda offers top-notch services and amenities, ensuring guests experience utmost comfort. Maintain seamless communication using the complimentary Wi-Fi at apartment.

​I have a feeling that the worst room might have been allocated to me. ＞_＜ There is no hot water shower (This should be applicable to all rooms) Pull switch of fun doesn’t work The lamp of a bedside table was dead Mosquito nets are equipped to the windows and the door but there is a gap between the net and door frame etc. The door doesn’t shut properly. Toilet flush is broken. Pail of bucket is provided. Although the cottage is old, I like the concept. It is really located right next to the cliff. There is public space in the center. This property looks like a really cute cottage. There is a big table and a coffee table in front of your room, which is all yours. You can have to-go food there and drink coffee. Boiled water is provided every morning in thermos​ to each room​ but bring your own coffee as there is no amenity except small soap bars. The wall is very thin and it might be too noisy for some of you. The first night I stayed there was really noisy as there was a Karaoke party ​behind​ the cottage. It lasted till 2200. Also you will have to hear the conversation in the next room. Luckily a solo traveller stayed in the next room for some nights out of my entire stay so I didn’t need to hear anything from the next room. The sound of the toilet flush and shower might bother you. There is no TV and AC in the room but there are 3 AC rooms that cost more than 1,000 pesos per night. They have wifi but the signal is very weak. My iPhone picked it up but my laptop wouldn’t connect to the internet. There is a kiosk onsite. It is only 50 pesos away from the bus station (I arrived from Puerto Princesa by Cherry Bus)​ and walkable to the beach. I believe that every hotel in El Nido would have brown water, so just be ready for brown water. After I booked some nights from AGODA, I sent queries to the property but I got a very unfriendly and not-useful response after several chases. Service/hospitality isn't good. Don't expect it.​ When I had some issues about S-Pass, no one would help me. I heard that management changed at some point but I don't know when exactly.

Floresitas impresses with a quiet location right by the sea. If you want to switch off for a few days and focus on the essentials, this is the right place for you (if there isn't construction going on next door or the generator is running - both of which were completely bearable). In one of the log cabins (without AC) or (in our case) rooms with air conditioning, the most necessary things are available: a comfortable bed and a small bathroom with shower and toilet. Our room was relatively clean, I don't understand why the mirrors in the Philippines never seem to be cleaned. In addition, the water from the tap is rather brownish and is not recommended for washing. Right in front of the room door: white, fine sand that stretches from the sea over the entire complex. Many hammocks and seating areas invite you to linger. The WiFi throughout the property was the best we've had since arriving in the Philippines. The food was also really, really tasty - Gemma goes out of her way to fulfill her guests' wishes. Speaking of guests: here too you have more peace and quiet - we were apparently the only ones in the complex on two out of three nights (over the weekend). But there are a few things you can do: rent a kayak cheaply at the resort and explore the area yourself, go snorkeling, firefly watching from another resort a few 100 meters away, or book a private boat trip through Ursulas Resort (neighboring resort). The hosts also try to help as best they can, but sometimes there was a lack of mutual communication. But in the end, with their help, we were able to be picked up in the van right from our front door. All in all, we felt the price was a bit too high for the simple conditions and the remote location (outside of all the hustle and bustle of tourism). But we still really liked it and would come back at any time.

The staff were welcoming and extremely friendly. The location of the hostel was great! A super short walk to the beach to catch the sunset and not too far out from town either.
