Reviews of Island Vibes Hostel

I really like that it was one of the few options that offered a complete kitchen, good location and friendly staff

All good

lovely staff they even have puppies! can organise canyoneering tours from there ( highly recommend) ( avoid oslob whale shark tour!!!) good air conditioning, facilities were fine although only two bathrooms for everyone to share - great location though - good for solo travelling

eh it was fine and good price- may need to wait for bathroom use but great overall

Always a good stay here. My second time at this hostel. Good location, comfortable and quiet area, comfortable beds and with A/C. Free use of kitchen area and fridge. Free drinking water and unlimited coffee! And good wifi! 💯

When other guests don't know how to clean after themselves. lol. But nothing against this property.

Very good location. Room was clean, spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Sharing bathroom was very clean and everything was functional. Owners were very friendly and spoke good english.

No complaints whatsoever 😊

Very nice vibe, great location and such nice people. Also a bonus with the kitchen.

The bed felt a bit unstable and the bathrooms were often wet due to showering/bidet and had a few spiders.

Great hostel, very clean. Very small which led to it being very homely and quiet! Very comfortable beds and would highly recommend

The room is a little on the smaller size but not a major issue

This is my new fave hostel in Moalboal. It's close to Panagsama center but the area is quiet. I was working on my first night here (1AM-10AM) and they have very fast and stable internet connection and comfortable chairs and tables at their balcony. Their beds are spacious and comfortable and dorm rooms are not so crowded (4 pax each dorm). Common areas are clean and tidy as well as comfort rooms.

Only downside is there are mosquitoes in open areas and sometimes inside the rooms (only a few) but it is understandable tho. This is a common this for most hostels in Moalboal.

Staff was very nice and friendly. Excellent WiFi connection. There's even a well equipped kitchen, a rare sight in southeast Asia.

A tad far from the beach, but still only a few minutes walk (and besides, all the positives more than make up for it).

Amazing location (close to the main street, beach, and restaurants). Spacious dorms and really nice and tidy common spaces. The bathrooms were kept clean.

The beds are quite wobbly and it was a bit noisy during the night with music, but that’s the case for most of the accommodations near the main street.

quiet place even it's near the main road. accessible. Clean . Fast internet. all basic needs is there. Staffs are approachable and very friendly.

Nice hostel in walking distance to everything in Moalboal. Nice that there was a fridge. The canyoneering tour organized through the hostel was so good!

Great staff, always willing to help. They respond very quickly either on booking or WhatsApp. Not a big hostel, but still very easy to socialize if you travel solo. Great location, very close to the beach where you can watch sardines and turtles. Cozy atmosphere which makes you feel like at home. We also had a free dinner on Thursday which was amazing! The owners cooked it themselves for us so we could eat it with the whole family and then spend some time together. Really recommend, if I ever go to Moalboal again, I’ll definitely stay there

Lovely staff, a "new friends" vibe in the Hostel Location is really nice, quiet but 5 minutes from the beach and a few meters from main road Free coffee and water is always a plus, space to park a scooter if you rent one

The room is cozy. Ate staff is friendly. Complete kitchen utensils for dining and cooking. Bathroom is clean.

Island girl bed and breakfast has already free breakfast at the same price.

Good Wi-Fi and great location for tourist area and main strip of moalboal. There was a beer pong table outside so looked like a fun hostel during high season when full.

There are 2 dorm rooms and 1 private room. We booked the private room and at check in we were shown to one of the dorms. When we questioned this it became apparent that the staff had given our private room to another guest. Turns out this wasn’t a guest of island vibes hostel and they had booked to stay in the hostel next door. The host apologiesed for the confusion and After a quick turnaround we were then given the keys to our private room. This was funny more than anything else! Ants everywhere in the room and even on the bed. Room was grubby There are 2 shared bathrooms which are also grubby and one bathroom didn’t have a toilet seat during our stay. There are pets (birds) that are kept in the communal space which leads to all rooms. The birds do not shut up all night which kept waking us up.

I loved the staff. Very helpful and good conversation.

Very good hostel. They have 2 dorms and 1 private room. The private room even has a desk and an office chair, good to work. Everything was clean. The staff was very kind. The wifi is very good. 5 minutes walking from the beach.

Nothing bad to say.

I had a fantastic stay in this hostel for five days. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like home. The entire place was exceptionally clean, and the beds were super comfortable. Also there is aircon in the rooms. Thanks to April and Christine, they were friendly and helpful. The hostel also has a kitchen which is a big plus for backpackers, and the free drinkable water and coffee were much appreciated. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone who wants to stay in Moalboal.
