Boracay Island

The beds are so relaxing which can make you feel comfortable while sleeping even when you're too tired. 
The location is not too far from the front beach. 
The common toilets/shower were clean. 

Suggestion - add more lights on the rooftop native fan rooms, it is kinda scary at night. 😅

Perfect ambiance 

There are other hostels exceptionally better on being a hostel in the island. If you are a bacpacker or an experienced traveler, you'll find the facility a dismay with poor policies. I've been going to the island countless in the last 20 years, this is rather a mediocre even on hostel level. Stay away 

No Good

The Staffs are great! They are all kind and approachable. The room was kind of smelling like a new cement but overall it is clean. They also clean our room everyday. The aircon is fully functional and cold. They allowed my request to turn it on before we arrive since we had a late checkin. It is a walking distance to the beach which is great. it is also near the main road. im happy to go back the 3rd time when i visit bora again.

Great Staff! it is my 2nd time here.

Boracay Backpackers is situated in a nice location, just at Station 1, which is nearby everything, stores, beach, and more. It's very affordable, so it's recommended for budget-friendly trips, but not so much for comfort. The room is not that clean, and the floor is always wet, and seems not getting dry. There are no windows for air to get in, as we are located in the middle room, and the door is somewhat challenging to open. Also, cleanliness is not well maintained. You get what you paid for the cheap price. By the way, the lady at the reception is nice. 😂 Boracay Backpackers is situated in a nice location, just at Station 1, which is nearby everything, stores, beach, and more.

Budget friendly and for not maarte

I give it 5 stars for its price. The room is clean and comfy. Very good location as it is just a few meters away from the white beach and a few meters from the highway. The place is ideal for those who are on a tight budget and need a safe and comfortable accomodation. 

Bang for buck accomodation!

You get what you pay for (and a little bit more). The room itself and the bathroom were bigger than expected, though the water pressure is sometimes iffy.  The air-conditioning is good. However, I wish the curtains were thicker since my room was situated on the first floor and my window was directly beside a social area. Wish there were cabinets, too. There's a TV too but I didn't use it because the remote wasn't working lol.

Location-wise, it's just a few seconds walk to the beach, but just a little bit far from what I believe are the most exciting parts of the island (it's okay though since I got my steps in). 

Overall, it was a good experience and definitely worth the money.

Value for money

I don't like about the place is the water shortage. I was once at the shower room then suddenly the water been cut off. However, this place was really a budget friendly. Even the toilet have got clogged.

Bad experience

Photos are misleading. You don't get what you see. Worst experience. Water shortage every time even late night or dawn. Rooms were full of mosquitoes. Staff were not helpful and accommodating. Amenities not working like the television and lights. Cr's door is broken. Inquired about  hair blower prior to arrival, was told that it will be provided upon request at the reception however there was no hair blower at all. 

Never again with Boracay Backpackers

The room was spacious and the place is good for those solo travelers. Budget friendly hotel. The staff is friendly and hospitable. They have an inhouse bar and they karaoke night every night. Worth the money

Good place to stay for solo travelers

Decent room. Good location since its not that from from the beach and very friendly staff. You can play billiards as well if you just wanna chill at the hotel. There’s restaurant and booze available so its very convenient.
