I had an amazing time staying at MBI Hostel. The bed and pillows (two!) were the most comfortable I’ve had so far while backpacking across Asia. The dorm and the showers/toilets were cleaned multiple times every day, so everything was always super tidy. A big plus: they have a shower heater 🙂 After diving all day, I really appreciated a warm shower. Even though it’s a 14-bed dorm, it was very quiet at night, so I ha…

Amazing place. It's very fairly priced, the bathroom and rooms are clean and hygienic. The dorm is very comfortable. You have one row facing the wall with two level-bunk beds, so, you have some privacy with curtains. The mattress is comfortable and the AC great. You have a hanging area for your clothes and there is a common area to chill (coffee & tea for free). The staff and the owner are lovely 😊. Also, you are ab…
Hostel is in a great location right in the middle of the southern side of the island, a short walk from pretty much anything other than the northern beaches.

It’s probably a bit overpriced compared to most areas of the Philippines but for mala…
Had a private room. It was okay, but lighting was limited and the bathroom smelled damp. The sink tap didn't work. The shower pressure was a trickle. Very few places to hang stuff up.

Located near most restaurants. We had a private room. It was small 6sqm. We fit really well. The room needs improvement like the toilet door. It is on the main road so its gets noisy at night when vehicles are passing buy. Can't complain since malapuasca is a small island. If youre looking for a budget place and private room, i would recommend this place plus free coffee 🫢♥️ Overall, we liked this place.
Prior to arriving - i messaged asking about the diving and they were abrupt and rude back to me and then ignored. Arrived and waited at reception for about 20 minutes before a staff member (who was sat on the sofa) decided to check us in. So unwelcoming and rude! Gave me no information. Such bad vibes from this hostel. The room was fine, but really small. The bathroom was not good, constantly flooded & was just dirt…
