Chic hostel with comfort, not as close to center

It's a chic hostel that's located within a few minutes tricycle ride from port and boulevard. Not as centrally located as other places across the boulevard but close to places for food and drinks. Stayed in a shared room. Place kept clean, bed spacious and has extra room for all your other stuff. Has comfortable common areas where you can rest / hang-out and even take Instagrammable photos. Other extras they provide is free water from a dispenser and a place for hanging your wet clothes Only downside is there was temporarily no water during my stay there.

Pleasant stay

The whole place, with its rustic design, is really nice. I find it also really good that some of the materials used in the building and in the furniture were from old houses. The whole surrounding is clean too. The hostel is not far from the airport but it is not so near to the center. The coast is walking distance though. The street is not so busy hence you hardly hear any vehicles. The walls and windows are too thin though. We had a private room just behind the dining area and you can hear the people outside (as if they are in front of the room) even if they are just talking normally. There was a live acoustic performance one night and it was quite loud. I think it was just until 10 pm though. The room is basic and not that big but it is good enough. It can be too hot though due to the roof. Good thing there is an air conditioner. The bathroom is small and the whole room gets wet so take care not to slip. I did not see the shared rooms. There are shared toilets, showers and sinks on the ground floor and upper floor. They look clean but I would be conscious using the toilet for my business as it is just in a cubicle. In the common area, there is a water dispenser, seats and lockers . It is also a nice place to chill. Their restaurant got a limited opening hours though. The staff are nice but somehow they seem to lack some training. I am not sure if they are just new, young or shy. Would be nice it this can be improved. Nevertheless, it is a nice option when in Dumaguete.…

False Advertising, Bad Management and Customer Service

We booked this hostel last minute (day of). We show up and they tried to put us in a different room than what we booked. We booked a 6-bed and they put us in an 8-bed. We complained to reception and they said the 6-beds were unavailable. The hostel was EMPTY btw so I wasn't buying it. I personally think it was because they didn't want to get the room dirty for 2 people. So I asked for a refund. The reception asked us to cancel online and she would issue a refund after speaking with management. I canceled the booking, she comes back and says she cannot issue a refund. I ask to speak to the manager. She explains that she cannot rebook the room same day. I said it doesn't matter you're not giving us what we paid for. After a bit of back and forth they agreed to refund via Booking. We left and just went to a hotel. I never received the refund. I would not recommend this place. You're better off spending a little bit more and getting a hotel.…

Clean, affordable and convenient location

I stayed the night here with family. We chose this hostel because of its proximity to the airport and the downtown area, as well as the positive reviews from other guests. We came in a bit early to check-in, but the staff did their best to get our room ready before noon. They made sure we were comfortable while waiting. The rooms have a rustic feel, clean and comfortable for its price range. The restaurant serves good breakfast. Only issue is the noise of passing cars outside. It can be heard through the jalousie windows. I recommend staying at this hostel.

Till sunrise

Stayed with friends, very convenient for us. The place has a cool design and you get your own under the bed make shift locker. The common bathroom just needs time to get used to. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay and the staff at reception is very accomodating.

Clean rustic room

My Apo island snorkeling tour was booked courtesy of this hostel. The staff were very accommodating and immediately responds to queries and messages. I stayed for a night at this hotel. I arrived early morning and was fetched by their resident trike driver- sir Guyz. (Btw, there is an adfitiinal fee if you wished to be picked-up from the airport for php200). Sir Guyz also do tours for those wanted to vist Valencia. He is a good man and very dependable. He can take you around Dumaguete if you want to. When I arrived around 530am, there were still no staff to accomodate me so I just spent my time in their clean and homey open restaurant. Around 8am, I was told by the front-desk staff that there is no available room yet till lunch time and i can just leave my bag at the corner near the front desk. They assured me that my bag won't get lost. Hesistant at first, but because of their assurance, I left my bag at the corner and just took with me, the important stuff. As I returned from the Apo island tour, a room was now ready. The room is clean, rustic, no paint, and very simple with a room type aircon and a clean toilet and toiletries. The bed is comfortable too. The wireless network is strong. I ate an early dinner at their in-house restaurant and ordered their sweet and spicy soy chicken and the taste did not disappoint me. The restaurant's menu won't let you down. There is a wide variety of meals from vegetables to desserts. There are also different flavored hand crafted beer for diners to try. The also have acoustic niggts every friday. I have a good night sleep at this hostel. Everything in this hotel is good except for the unavailability of lockers for early check-ins so that they can leave their things safely when on an early tour and not on any corner of the place. …

Definitely be back! 😄

Two things: budget-friendly and cozy. It was a short stay in Dumaguete, but Flying Fish made me feel at home. Staff is friendly and accommodating. At the same time, you get a good deal for your stay: a comfortable place to doze off to, a resto of varied menu (their buko series is to try for), and a place where you can chill (read books, have a chat with new found friends, listen to music to during accoustic nights, and breath in fresh air as you swing in their hammock area). I'd definitely be back 😉

Good rooms

I had a great stay. A company of thr7ew were accommodated in a dorm type room for 8. It was worth the stay. We had a good rest and i had a great breakfast at the cafe. The receptionist is very accommodating. I love their hot and cold shower, it feels like home. I hope to stay here in my next business trip.

Clean, comfortable and affordable

Great little hostel right on the edge of the main centre. Not too busy, the live music they had on Saturday was brilliant and the vibe was really nice. The food at the restaurant is a little on the pricey side but it is really high quality. Showers and toilets are clean and the rooms are Really spacious. I mean really spacious, it looks like they build the bunk beds for giants it's amazing. They also have they're own lights for each bunk, but they could use some curtains so that if you want to use the light at night you don't disturb anyone. Mattress and pillows are perfect Free locker hire for guests, fresh towels, the staff are super friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

great value for money nice contemporary place

I have stayed for two nights here,booked my stay at one of their shared dorms.I had a excellent stay. (+) love the architecture very instagramable everywhere, near the airport,has a in house tricycle service(which u can also use to book a tour around the area).The Facility also provide tours.Near downtown.Great Beds.Great staffs.Great Music during weekends. (-) 10pm-8am as stated a quiet hours, however it was Friday night,my neighboring rooms having drunk teenagers in it are so noisy,you can hear footsteps,laughing etc.Hope they could monitor this as well for there are plenty of guest staying at the hostel. Water is running out sometime in the afternoon,maybe it was because of the number of guest staying at the hostel at that time.
