Rooms are very small. The neighborhood is a remote. The gentleman who we interacted was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean. I would recomend it as a low budget no frills place to stay.

I don't even know where to begin, as a Retiree & US Navy Veteran having traveled to some of the poorest places in Mexico the past 25yrs which has tons of loud roosters btw, the Mactan Hostel takes the Gold Medal of a totally disgusting DUMP! After our Grab taxi from the airport takes us down this pathetic back road off the main highway to where the Mactan Hostel was located down a narrow filthy alleyway, my girlfriend & I walked down towards where the entrance of the "Hostel" yet a very deceptive set of well-appointed private room pictures was located. Inundated with what can only be described as a "Rooster Farm" with crowing from dozens of hyped up roosters going nuts in the middle afternoon, we found the nearly unidentifiable entrance sign & gate to a 2 story apartment building. After a local Filipino gentleman appeared from around the corner identifying himself as "Brian" brother of the "Mactan Hostel" owner, I walked inside the gate & looked down the ground floor set of doors and started walking up the side stairs to the 2nd floor of the building, there was a 3/4 full quart bottle of beer sitting at the top of the steps and another series of doors, I immediately turned around went downstairs, told my girlfriend & Brian "there's ABSOLUTELY NO WAY we are staying here!" Brian said "NO problem my brother will give you a Full Refund", he lied or misspoke I was offered only a 1/2 refund - total BS Especially these other joke "Excellent Reviews" AVOID OR REGRET IT!

Our host Brian was the best, if your wanting to stay at a place like in the USA this is not for you, if your looking to stay in a true Philippines setting this is your place. I loved it and will be going back in November for another two weeks. Remember this is not the Hilton, Brian you made our vaca a true vaca, THANK YOU

Ich hatte einen fantastischen Aufenthalt im Mactan Hostel, vor allem angesichts des erschwinglichen Preises! Das Hostel bietet ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - saubere Zimmer, hilfsbereites Personal , close to the Mactan International Airport and Mactan Shrine. Für den Preis, den ich bezahlt habe, habe ich keinen 5-Sterne-Luxus erwartet, aber ich habe alles gefunden, was ich für einen komfortablen Aufenthalt brauchte. Mir ist aufgefallen, dass einige Bewertungen mehr erwarten, aber für ein Budget-Hostel, denke ich, dass es genau das liefert, was man sich erhoffen würde. Wenn Sie nach einem Ort suchen, an dem Sie sich ausruhen, andere Reisende treffen und die Gegend erkunden können, ohne die Bank zu sprengen, ist dies eine großartige Option!"
