The hotel is located down a rather mysterious, tucked-away alley, but the atmosphere inside is lively and fun. It features a plunge pool, a pool table, an on-site restaurant, and karaoke activities. However, the bedroom and the bathroom are on different floors, which can be a bit inconvenient.

What guests say
What a small world! I met a Frendz friend Emilia in Jaipur India literally less than a month after staying here. This place is a hidden gem! The back road entry way is being rebuilt when I was there in June '26 its a bit difficult to get to the beach when it rains. Facilities were top notch. I stayed in private room 1 as I expected noise, but it was a very quiet time of year.
I’ve been returning to this hostel ever since my first time in Boracay! Love the staff (K, Camille, Ivan, you have my heart!!) Great food, great vibe, whichever season I visit. Rooms and restrooms are always clean. Definitely unlike any other hostel I’ve booked before. 💖
Very good location. 5 kembot lang nasa beach na. Community is top tier! As a solo traveller, it feels like home with them, especially with the DJ, DJ Quennie! Will definitely book my stays in Frendz El Nido!
The staff at Frendz is amazing, the hospitality and friendliness was outstanding. We were a group of 11 and stayed for 6 days, enjoyed every bit! The nightly get together, activities and vibe of the hostel alone was so welcoming and fun. Would highly recommend if you are travelling with a group or open to meeting other travellers!
Frendz Hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. The social activities are well planned and I had a really great time doing the island hopping tour. They also enforce a strict quiet time so if you’re done for the night you dont have to worry about the noise. The rooms and washrooms are clean and well maintained. Will definitely come back.
The hostel was so welcoming. As a solo traveler, I immediately met people and had an awesome time. It is not just a place to stay, it is a wonderful community of nice people providing high quality meals, entertainment, and much more!
