Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Owners are helpfull and nice, good place for low budget and backpackers 20-30peso from the port with a regular bike one way! If your diving (you should its a nice place and prices aint bad!) they set you up also and good staff, enjoy!

Had a great extended stay with Paddy and Spud (the owners). Treated us like family, took us on some awesome dives, showed us the town. No complaints there. Rooms were perfectly acceptable for the awesome prices they charge. There is a short order restaurant across the road so you can eat at their pub, the beer is good and cheap. I miss the place already! Bathroom could use a little work I guess, maybe a new waste bin. One thing is that every recommendation we had in ways to improve the place always seemed to be taken seriously and implemented same day. Great service!

Friendly staff,clean rooms. Diving shop, excellent dive instructor. Family style food. Converse and play billiards with folks from around the world in the open and relaxed bar with fresh breezes and water views. Small but inviting pool.

We got there by chance, looking for another backpacker, the owner seemed nice so we stayed. The room was really tiny, but it was our choice to stay I that room. But the toilet was disgusting, it was clogged for 2 days until my friend cleaned it b coz the people working there were too busy drinking.
On top of everything else we did our loundry there (there's a lady from outside that does it) and they loose 1 short.

well as soon as you notified us of the toilet it was fixed we keep asking our back packer not to throw foreign objects into the toilets and keep in mind u pay 400 peso a night it is a backpackers not a 5 star resort and yes u r right the owners do like to mingle with the customers at night not just give u a key and tell u where your room is you are our first complaint in 3 years maybe some people just dont know how to have fun on holidays cheers paddyi and by the way we r not responsible for out side laundry services as that was your choice

Paddies Bar has recently expanded and added a pool table. This make for lots of fun with all who show up for a few drinks. Catering to the Backpackers, this has got to be the most reasonable place to stay in Sabang. When you want to explore the nightlife in Sabang 20p on a bike gets you there. Pat and Spud can get you diving, boating or around the different local sights. Always a breeze from the ocean which is @ 5 min walk away.

At first the owner seems nice, but that is if he has a good drunk. Him and his pals are mostly drinking in the bar. If you are just as them drunk all the time probably there won't be a problem. That is if you don't mind the broken toilet all the time, or not having water to shower. Also you have to share the one toilet and shower with about 5 other rooms.
The rooms are what you paid for so don't expect to much. Or expect them to be cleaned at all. But be aware as he tries to overcharge you for a old airco which we didn't order. When we confronted the owner with the airco charges he started to get loud and violent in front of the whole bar. No talking to him.
So only stay here as a last resort, or when you plan to be drunk all the time and actually don't care.

please if you are reading this be careful! The owner is a totally inadequate guy, he screamed and yelled at me when I said that "he does not have a five star hotel", sorry mister, but your rooms are in such a terrible state that this is my WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! I will never go back there, and I will tell everyone not to go. I hope you will someday encounter the same "hotelier" as you

Paddy and the staff could not have been more accommodating to me and my travelling buddy. Just read some reviews and shocked to hear some bad ones. We got stuck on the island (due to the typhoon) and the boys offered to take us to Calapan as the boats were more likely to be running. So hospitable. Gav is also a wonderful chef and the food is a great price- you would not get this anywhere else! Sad to leave, but not cos of the island - more the friendly and wonderful company from ALL THE STAFF. Great job you lot xx

My friend and I stayed at this place for 5 days and they were pretty good. Rooms were very cheap, had the option for aircon or fan. Not very spacious but you get for what you pay for. Wifi and reception is reachable from the bar and pool area. Had great laughs with the owner and amazing food. Would reccommend this place for sure!
