My stay here was great. Though this hostel is freshly opened it has everything you need. The beds are great and are of decent size. The bathrooms are all clean and modern. Additionally Pugad hostel has a great location, everything is in walking distance. The staff was also super friendly and gave me advice on what to do and how to book it. I had overall a great stay.

The host Amor was very accommodating and can make almost any arrangement for you: tours, rentals, transportation. She made my stay an unforgettable experience. It is a quiet location, there's good WiFi, AC, hot showers, free coffee. A nice affordable Filipino restaurant on the street corner, close to the hostel. I extended my stay.

Lee and Maya are the absolute best hosts, super nice and accomodating. We ended up there because of a cancelled flight and were pleasantly surprised to find such a nice, friendly and chilled place which only added to our adventure. Maraming salamat!

Absolutely loved OIA—I even extended my stay just to slow down, relax, and soak it all in. The volunteers were super friendly and kept arranging fun hostel outings and activities that made it effortless to meet other travelers and feel at home right away. The hammocks look straight out over the water, and being steps from the beach meant an easy, peaceful swim any time of day. Kayaks are available to paddle to nearby islands, which was a memorable little adventure between chill sessions. The music—played by the local volunteers and on most of the time—set a calm, laid‑back vibe that made the whole place feel incredibly soothing. The food was tasty and fairly priced, so eating in never felt expensive and the portions hit the spot. Overall, OIA is that rare mix of community, comfort, and breathtaking views that makes leaving hard—highly recommend.

What can I say… if you want an unforgettable hostel experience then you should choose Outpost. I only stayed for 2 nights, but my stay was so lovely. Rooms are decent and spacious, beds are comfy, you got lockers and privacy curtains, a clean bathroom. The location is alright, you would have to take a tuktuk if you wanted to head to El Nido town, however the hostel is right at the beach, so no complaints there. The staff - you feel right at home because of all of the staff. It’s a pretty social hostel, with events like karaoke/bbqs/beerpong every night! The atmosphere feels really cosy, the staff will sit and chat with you about life and whatnot, making you feel welcome. They remember your name and always greet you with a big smile. Big recommend staying here!!!

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.
