    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Boracay. the value for money was unbeatable - the prices were reasonable, especially considering the location in the center of Boracay. Secondly, the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. From the friendly owner, Ms. Janice, to the attentive staff like Jenn, Stella, and James, everyone was accommodating and nice. Lastly, the basic amenities in the clean rooms were perfect for my needs. The comfortable beds and proper sound insulation ensured a good night's sleep. this hotel provided great value, excellent service, and comfortable rooms.

    All in all, everything was satisfactory.

    The location was mind-blowing - close enough to all the action but still peaceful in the evenings. The accommodation was super comfy and spacious, with clean sheets and a nice bathroom. The staff were jaw-droppingly friendly and helpful, making my stay absolutely unforgettable. The bar area was a great place to meet new people and have a laugh. The central courtyard/garden was a nice oasis of calm. the staff and atmosphere were simply amazing!

    The outside area was nice and chilled, with a decent-sized room. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the free breakfast with eggs and coffee was enjoyable. The location was amazing.

    Nothing, everything was great.

    This hostel is just steps from the beautiful white sands of the beach. The room is clean and comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a great stay, with fantastic service and a delicious breakfast served every morning.

    The hostel could benefit from some additional hooks or hangers in the bathrooms to make it more convenient for guests.

    The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic! It's right in the center of Boracay, so you can easily access all the main areas and attractions. You'll be just a short walk away from the beautiful beach and the vibrant nightlife. Plus, the prices here are very reasonable, especially considering how popular this area is. You'll get great value for your money!

    All was well!

    The hotel is located in the center of Boracay, making it convenient for exploring the island and accessing the popular White Beach. The rooms are equipped with comfortable beds, ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of exploring. The hotel offers a basic but satisfactory breakfast, providing a convenient start to the day.

    No major issues to highlight, everything was satisfactory.

    The location is top-notch, just a stone's throw away from the beach. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The hotel facilities are adequate, and the bar area is great for socializing and meeting new people.

    No issues.

    The room at Boracay Backpackers was perfect for my friend and me. The private bathroom with a shower was a huge plus, and the air conditioning kept us cool in the tropical heat. The tile/marble floor gave the room a sleek, modern feel.

    Personally, I found the showers in the bathrooms a little cramped. But hey, that's just me!

    We had a great time staying at Boracay Backpackers. The hostel has a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for both solo travelers and groups on a budget. The location is close to the beach and all the popular spots on Boracay. The rooms were cleaned daily and the dorms had their own bathrooms. The staff was super friendly and always accommodating. One of the highlights was the owner, a cool British guy, who personally served drinks at the bar and had friendly chats with guests. I highly recommend this hostel for a fantastic Boracay experience.

    The hotel was in a prime location within walking distance to all the famous landmarks and attractions, making it easy to explore and enjoy the city. The free breakfast was a nice perk and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing a much-needed place to rest after a long day of exploring.

    During my stay over Easter weekend, it was filled with large groups of rowdy and noisy guests, most of whom were not considerate of others. The Wi-Fi signal was weak in my room, making it difficult to stay connected, and the bathrooms were not as clean as I would have liked.

    our stay at Balabag exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and other attractions. Highly recommend staying here.

    Room lacked decoration.

    Mind-blowing location just steps away from the stunning white beach and vibrant Dmall. Super clean rooms with a relaxing patio. The staff is incredibly reliable, friendly, and accommodating. The hostel has a relaxed atmosphere and is peacefully quiet at night. The receptionist even let me crash on the lobby couch until my check-in time. The property's waterfront location adds to its jaw-dropping ambiance. Although not easily accessible, it's worth the short 1-2 minute walk to the beach. Just make sure to inform the tricycle driver of the drop-off location. The hostel provides essential amenities such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning, laundry, a bar/lounge area, a restaurant. No pets are allowed, and non-smoking rooms are available. a fantastic experience!

    We appreciated the affordable rates and the convenient location near the beach. the staff was friendly and accommodating during our stay.

    The hostel was not up to par with basic standards of hygiene and maintenance. The facilities were poorly maintained with dirty common areas and unclean restrooms.

    The bar is designed with a jaw-dropping traditional hut, creating a strong bond between guests. Meeting people from all over the world was mind-blowing. The activities, like island hopping and snorkeling, made my stay super memorable. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The location, though not easily accessible, is still worth it, as it is just a minute away from the beach. everything was great - comfy beds, working aircon, big bathroom with a water heater, and delicious breakfast cooked upon request.

    Convenient central location, just a short walk to the beach. Relaxing and comfortable chillout areas with an in-house bar. Delicious food prepared by a talented chef. Friendly and helpful staff always ready to assist. Clean and modern rooms and bathrooms. Free fresh water available 24 hours a day. Great ambience and friendly atmosphere of the hostel. New and accommodating staff members. Overall great experience with Boracay Backpackers, with repeat visits

    Felt exceptional, no reason to complain
