Fantastic hosts : Anna and her partner Maxime made me feel like part of the family, they are absolute gems! Always available with a big smile on their face. They go the extra mile to answer any needs, they are very friendly and welcoming. I will miss them dearly. The property : the hostel is small which makes you feel like home (the name of the hostel is definitely adequate). The dorm offers single and double bunk beds with shared bathroom or a private room. Good mattress and pillow, privacy curtains all around your bed, AC woks well. Great value for money! Location: ideal! You can walk to the beach (sardines run) and to town where you'll find plenty of restaurants & bars. Food : Free drinkable water and coffee available all day long. The host Anna cooks and offers a free "bundle fight" meal every Friday night to gather the guests together and make you discover a very Filipino traditional meal. You definitely dont want to miss it! The breakfast is very affordable and super yummy, vegetarian option available. Service : many tours available for the best price (cheaper than other places l've seen), Anna will help you get a scooter to rent or will call you a tricycle if needed (once again, best prices since she is Filipina and has good contacts) The free Wifi connection is great, didn't have any issue. Free card games / board games available to use for rainy days. Laundry service available. Cleanliness: you share a bathroom with your fellow travellers and the shower & toilets are aside so obviously it can get messy with sand and water (just like everywhere else in the Philippines). Just kindly let Anna know and she will take care of it right away! The room was clean and the bedsheets smelled amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you guys, you made my stay...
Read moreHad an amazing stay at Home Sweetie Homestay & Bunkbeds! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The bunk beds are decent for the price, though keep in mind you’ll be sharing the room with other travelers. If you prefer privacy, I highly recommend booking one of their private rooms — still very affordable and more comfortable.
The only downside is the parking situation. If you’re bringing a car, you’ll have to park around 20 meters away in an open lot that’s quite rough and overgrown — not ideal but manageable if you don’t mind a short walk.
The beach isn't directly accessible from the homestay; you'll need to hike up to another nearby resort to get to the shoreline. Same goes for stores and restaurants — not too far, about a 10-minute walk — but something to consider if you prefer staying close to amenities.
Overall, if you're okay with a bit of walking and rustic parking, the place is a solid and budget-friendly choice. Recommended for backpackers and...
