Good vibe but not a party house. Nice dorms. Accommodating staff. Free bread&jam and coffee/tea in the morning, which was nice.

I absolutely love the vibes at this hostel! The staff, volunteers, and local rasta crew are all so friendly and welcoming it really feels like everyone is part of one big family. The location by the beach is so peaceful, and the rooms are very clean and quiet, perfect for resting. The whole place is well-maintained, which makes it even more relaxing. The bar has such a chill atmosphere you can feel the sea breeze while lounging in the cargo net, or enjoy a game of skateboard, ping pong, pool, and of course my favorite… beer pong! There’s always something fun to do, but also plenty of space to just unwind. Overall, the hostel has such a homely paradise vibe. I only wish I had more time to stay longer, but I’ll definitely be coming back and next time I’m bringing friends!

My stay at Frida Ka was very nice. The hostel is located right along the main pathway to the beach, though I didn’t spend much time there. More importantly, it’s in the heart of the main strip, making it super easy to walk to all the nearby restaurants and shops. Although it’s a hostel, it’s not a social one, which made for a quiet and relaxing stay. I stayed in a mixed dorm and had no issues with the other occupants. The breakfast was great—not included, but reasonably priced for the area. The staff was friendly and always remembered me whenever I passed by, which added a nice personal touch. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

The hostel is nice and great price value. Perfect for couples, friends, backpackers, really good vibe people!!! Not for fussy ones. My beautiful partner and I had a cute private bedroom, queen size bed, with private bathroom which was convenient and comfortable for us. AC worked really well yayy! and one night it got too cold haha. We liked our room, has the basic things we needed and it was nice :) The staff: LOVED them all!! They were like a family vibe. They always smile and willing to help their guests - very helpful in helping us book transportation, and really provided amazing hospitality! They were sweet, funny, personable and just super nice people. Thank you everyone who worked there for your kindness and care. They made us feel home. Amazing location!!! - in Corong Corong beach. You’ll see big El Nido mountain view with the calm water and Filipino boats around. Really beautiful!!! Then there were other restaurants and small beach bars along the beach, walking distance from the hostel. We also loved the Sip Sunset Lounge by the beach, which is part of the hostel. Always had good breakfast and then cocktail hours with great music. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely rebook again and we encourage travellers to stay here and enjoy Filipino hospitality and gorgeous nature. We can’t wait to come back again!! :)

All hostels in El Nido

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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

The hostel is very clean and modern. The staff is really great and helpful. The breakfast is very good, and the restaurant in the youth hostel offers really delicious dishes for cheap. The hostel is located just a two-minute walk from the city centre. I recommend, I had a very pleasant stay there👍👌

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.

Probably the best hostel I stayed in, very private place to sleep (with the door and the shelves and private fan and light and pretty spacious). Great location, very friendly staff, water and snacks for free. It was a great experience!
