MAAYONG HOSTEL

MAAYONG hostel was very relaxing. As soon as we walked in we felt at home.

The road walking into this hotel was a little rough. Large potholes with constant water holes everywhere. Hard to walk and ride a scooter in.

Great place, connivence location that near the sea. Friendly staffs and good food here as well!

All good

The staff were wonderful, accommodating and hospitable. I was never afraid to ask.

Shower needs fixing to ensure proper pressure and possibly make a sign for the bathroom door and remind guests to close door when the ac is on.

The room was aesthetically pleasing and nice with a lovely ensuite. Really comfortable bed. We got our laundry done and dried for an additional price which was good. Location is excellent, it’s walking distance to everything! The common area was quiet and relaxing and they had lots of tourist info and tour packages info. They had board games in the common area.

We paid around $399aud for 3 nights which is considered expensive in the Philippines but we didn’t feel it was value for money in comparison to other places. It didn’t have the facilities of a hostel such as a general cooking area for guests. I was charged on 3 occasions to get 40mls of milk each time to add to my tea in our room. There was a kettle and teabags in the room. On the 3rd night out of curiosity, I asked her “are guests allowed to keep food and drink in their reception area fridge here?” She replied “yes but we close this kitchen at 10pm.” If we were informed on arrival we could use the fridge, I would have bought my own milk/supplies. There was no fridge in the private rooms also. I didn’t feel my valuables were safe in the room because their safe was not electronic, it was simply a small door with a tiny padlock that anyone could open easily and we had our passports and expensive jewellery and camera in there. I expected better when we book a private ensuite room. For the price we paid for the room, I expected better facilities in the room. Other places we stayed were cheaper with so much more facilities in their rooms.
