Great energy. I've been here 3x in the last 10 years. Some potential issues are the bathrooms have not been remodeled and needs deep cleaning due to molds. Paper thin walls you can here slightest noise from your bed and thirdly, i came home with bites from bed bugs. But i'd still come out here when going to the island solo. I like the convenience of the place and is truly a hostel. The place comes alive with their resident dj and they can plan trips with the the rest.

You can hear everything. I heard every movement of the bed next to me, loud noises, outside, random banging on the wall. Didn't get to sleep. There's only one bathroom for 10 people in a room but good thing there's another toilet and bath outside. This resort has internalized racism and they prioritize white people. Just because I'm Filipina, I wasn't given a welcome drink and hand towel when I arrived. But when I checked out I saw two white girls get those. Staff will also just look at you when you pass by and not greet you good morning. It's the small things.

An unbelievable stay at Frendz! The team were so welcoming, particularly Jimmy, and made sure everyone was socialising and involved. Very fun boat trip and ATV tour. Good wifi and food. Pasta night is a great night! Everyone staying at the same time as me has made friends for life, and memories we'll never forget. I'll be back for sure.

We went here last October to celebrate our 5th anniversary. The location is really great. I love that it's only a few minutes from the beach and dmall. The place is very cozy. The staff are very friendly and reliable. The only thing I don't like about our stay is that the bathroom in our room smells cigar and we are non smokers.

Very good hostel, very friendly and useful staff, in particular Jimmy! Great if you are keen for a couple of lively nights. Drinks are well priced. Shared dorm we stayed in was very nice (think it was newly built in December). Didn’t eat here but was told food was good. Short walk to the beach and good location in Boracay town. Only issue was, too humid outside to dry swim gear over night on the drying rails.

Room Tip:If with a big group, get a shared dorm together. If not, probably better to have a private room.

No it is not 5/5. This is 100/5!! Always booking my stay for a week or so and I must say I appreciated everything during my most recent stay. The staff were so warm and friendly. They would accommodate you all day all night. Thanks to Zaldy and Marlou for helping me out during my night shift (coz I work at night time). To Robin who has always been friendly! To the other staff (Christian, Rebecca, Steve), thank you so so much! The food was also great!!! All the food that I ordered were good and priced fairly. 🧡 Lastly, if you're a freelancer and needs a really good place to work with strong wifi connection, you need to stay at this hostel. See you again soon!!

Walking in the place seemed awesome, great location, ok dorms, great staff seemed fine for the price… until I saw the bathroom. It looks like it’s never been cleaned with the corners black with old dust and gunk, cobwebs and spiders covering all the walls. Dirt and rust and lime scale covering everything from the shower head to the taps, plus the fact it’s one bathroom between about 6 rooms of 5-8 people each. If you book here get a private room or don’t bother tbf.

They have delicious and within the budget pasta. Even if I stayed in another accomodation, I make it a way to buy food from them. I think I ate 3 Creamy Seafood Pasta consecutively for dinner .. yum..

Felt like a second home with quick access to both main and back (Bulabog) beaches as well as the convenience of DMall. Stayed in an airconditioned dorm that is kept clean. Your space includes a comfortable bed with a lamp and outlets (inclu USB ports). You can also use a locker that can fit a 50L backpack. Restaurant is a common area where it's nice to just hang out (or even work!) in the morning. It seems like a social hostel pre-COVID but nights when I stayed there tend to be relatively quiet (although there's a pool table which guests can enjoy). Staff are there to willingly help always while giving you privacy or space.
