What an amazing stay at Happiness Hostel! We loved everything about this place ❤️ Firstly the location is perfect, right along the beach and main street with lots of restaurants to choose from. The common area provided a great place to chill both inside on the wicker chairs or bean bags and out on the balcony with the swings (my favourite looking out onto the beach!). Free water and tea/coffee was available all day as well as complimentary rolls and bananas from 7am each morning, which is a lovely touch. The bedrooms are super clean and cosy. The layout of the bunks is the best we've seen during our 5 months travelling SEA as there's lots of storage inside the bunk for your belongings and also under the bed. The sliding doors also provide privacy but because of the way they are built they still allow for ventilation from the AC to keep you cool. The beds were comfortable and surprisingly large for a single bed. The bathrooms were always spotlessly clean. The showers were hot and had a place for you to hang your towel/clothes/toiletries to ensure they did not get wet. Last but not least, the staff are incredible. They really do make you feel so welcome and at home. We received lots of advice and help from them between retrieving a SIM card that had fallen on the roof, booking tours and printing tickets for the ferry. We especially want to mention Ann, who was a massive help to us and was an absolute superstar! 🌟 She always offered a friendly hello and a chat and remembered small details about each guest which really added to that sense of feeling at home. We cannot recommend staying in Happiness Hostel enough, it really was a home away from home and we're so sad we could not stay longer!

It was such a wonderful place where a lot of care has been given to the design and the facilities. The staff is extremely friendly, made us feel at home and really took care of us. We chose this place because it was close to the airport but we wished that we had booked more nights there! We had such a relaxing time at the pool and the hostel is close to Lio beach and about 10 min away from the center. We would love to come again one day.

Great location and clean facilities - what more could you ask for in a hostel! Had a spontaneous one night stay there since the ferry got cancelled, and was positively surprised. Price is a bit on the expensive side. But overall it’s great. Also a nice crowd that stayed there. Would recommend.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

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

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.
