Fable Hostel

Amazing rooms - so massive that you were never disturbed by other guests despite being 8 people in each room. Loved the organised activities daily.

Could have more bathrooms as the whole hostel share only a few

Nicest hostel of our whole trip. Lovely staff and family dinner every night. Very easy to meet people. Huge rooms, lots of toilets and showers. Free breakfast & coffee/tea!

The social space wasn’t massive

The hostel is very clean, the dorms are super spacious, the staff is very friendly and there is sweet breakfast and coffee almost all day long. The hostel is even better than some hotels near

There was a beach walking distance but did have to drive to the main part of town. The facilities were great and there were plenty of showers and toilets - never had to wait!

I felt the staff that worked there were very cliquey and they were all friends with each other - got the vibe they had stayed there a while together. I got in a bike accident and didn’t feel welcomed by them they were just giving me judgey looks and talking about it when I was sat across from them.

Super comfortable and chill hostel. Everyone was so nice and easy to get along with

Heel leuk hostel!! De family dinners iedere avond zijn super gezellig en het personeel is heel aardig en behulpzaam. Ook zijn de kamers heel ruim, super fijn!

AMAZING hostel! The facilities are so beautiful, spacious, comfortable and with great attention to detail. It really has everything you’ll need, even free (filtered) coffee and breakfast. Renting a scooter was super easy and convenient (you’ll need a scooter or someone driving you though). SUPER social, there are events like family dinner, trivia or getting drinks together almost every night so it is really easy to connect with people and explore the island again. Would definitely stay here again if I’m ever in siquijor!

So cool!!! Staff are so nice, bathroom is good, room also! Diner with the other people is a very good idea for met people.

The stuff were so kind and informative, the energy and atmosphere were great and I actually felt home. They always have great activities that create creates a social atmosphere, but also in a chill way.

The only thing I would improve a little bit the free breakfast because it’s pretty minimalistic.

I really enjoyed staying there! The family dinner almost evry night (expect ln mondays) was great and I found a lotnof very nice people there. The cinnamons rolls were nice too ;)

I think the showers could improve a jit but still very fine, thats like high level critic.

Lovely staff, organize family dinners, big rooms

Mattress that is too hard and too thin

Staff were friendly and very helpful, the hostel creates opportunities to meet other travelers (Whatsapp group chat, group dinners, large communal spaces), bathrooms were plentiful and clean, great AC and fans in the dorm rooms (they turn off AC during the daytime to save power), very large dorm rooms, individual lockers for secure storage. I also liked how they had an all male dorm room, which is very uncommon with modern hostels. This place is very popular and for good reason. Book early to avoid disappointment!

If I had to nit pick the location is a bit removed from the main town, you'll need to taxi or have a moped/scooter. You need a moped/scooter anyway (especially if you're a solo traveler) to properly explore the island.

Lovely social hostel...great staff and volunteers..good basic breakfast and fantastic coffee!! Thank you

Beds could be improved for comfort and better curtains...bathroom was ok but a walk outside needed to access them.

Best hostel I’ve stayed in!!

amazing staff, the rooms are big and lockers are provided. The perf location and they even help with motorbikes.

I stayed there for too little

everything was perfect!!

I loved this hostel and would highly recommend to everyone! This place makes you feel part of a group, organizes family dinner (almost) everyday, has a lovely breakfast and has all the good vibes! Also the rooms are sooo spacious and beds are comfortable!

You have to walk outside to the toilet, so if you have to pie in the night and it rains you might get wet ;)

Excellent place. Very clean. Very spacious. Nice social vibe but no pressure to be social either. Staff/volunteers are amazing people.

Nothing.

Great dorms were very spacious & comfortable beds. Bathrooms were also spacious & clean. Great location next to Paliton Beach. Small breakfast option included (toast). Supportive staff to help you organizing your trip on the island but also offering tips on weather, organizing group trips or dinner.

This was my first time traveling solo, and at this hostel I was lucky enough to meet such kind and welcoming people. The entire staff and volunteers are incredibly helpful, attentive, flexible, and friendly, which made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. The hostel is very well organized and consistently clean, and I would even say the puppies are an essential part of the experience. Both the rooms and bathrooms were kept spotless, as well as the common areas. It’s clear that a lot of care and attention goes into making each guest’s stay memorable. I especially appreciated the little details, like the “family dinners,” the great recommendations for places to visit, the option to rent a motorbike, and the assistance with transport to the ferry. It offers the perfect balance between a relaxing atmosphere inside the hostel and a fun social/party vibe outside. I also felt that the guests were very respectful when it came to noise and cleanliness, which made the environment even more enjoyable. Overall, I loved everything. Thank you for such a wonderful stay and experience!

Location, cleanliness, the beds, the vibe

Great hostel, would definitely recommend. Especially for the price, hostels like this tend to be more expensive but not Fable

Sehr nettes Personal, Betten bequem, Steckdose, Vorhang und Licht bei jedem Bett. Sehr viel Platz im Schlafraum. Schliessfächer für Tagesrucksack. Nahe zum Strand (eintritt 30p). Sie organisieren jeden Abend 'familydinner' wo man sich anmelden kann und mit anderen vom Hostel essen (und trinke) geht, es wird über Wapp Gruppe informiert. Duschen&WC gross und sauber.

Es liegt etwas ausserhalb des Dorfs, war froh hatte ich schon am Hafen einen Scooter gemietet (auch mit Auto Führerschein möglich) um alles zu sehen und zu erreichen.

Molt tranquil, llits còmodes i molt ben situat

Res

They really managed to create a nice social vibe and attract the right kind of people. Kept going to the social dinners after I moved to a hotel room when my girlfriend arrived.

De kamers waren ruim, de locatie was perfect en het personeel was heel vriendelijk. De family dinners waren een goede manier om nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten!

Het bed was een beetje hard. Je moest je schoenen uit in de gezamenlijke ruimte maar als je dan naar je eigen kamer moest en had geregend werden je voeten alsnog vies omdat je aan een kant je schoenen uitdeed

Amazing travelers that came through. Clean, well thought out, has everything you need.

Would recommend including body wash and shampoo. Maybe consider an electric egg steamer :)

The best hostel I stayed at during my time in the Philippines and potentially one of the best ones I've stayed at in the region - and I've stayed in quite a few. As soon as you arrive all of the staff members learn your name and make sure to help you out with pretty much anything you need help with - renting scooters, doing laundry, giving their recommendations on activities as well as restaurants, you name it! The whole crew running the place are absolutely hilarious and always up for a friendly chat or some banter. The family dinners they organize are a great way to connect with other travellers and they usually head out to one of the local bars afterwards. Make sure to join the karaoke night with the staff - it's one of my fondest memories from my time in the Philippines. There's also a very open and social environment overall since the dorms all are situated around the "hang out area" in the middle of the hostel grounds. The staff will also add you to the hostel-group chat were they send out updates on what's going on everyday and where you can organize activities with other people staying here. I could come back to Siquijor simply because of the good vibes this place had.

Keep in mind that this place is not located in the center of San Juan - so you'll have to rent a scooter or go by tricycle in order to get into town. It's not a negative in any way - but it's worth keeping in mind when planning your trip.

The staff were so helpful and kind, the room was very spacious. Brilliant amenities and the free breakfast, teas and coffees all day was a nice touch. We also felt very safe here there was security around or someone to ask if we needed help. Would 100% reccomend the stay

Really great hostel, very friendly helpful staff. I particularly liked the "family dinner" a great opportunity to meet other people in the hostel

Nothing

I enjoyed my stay in the hostel.

Unfortunately i discovered first during the last evening about the group chat in the hostel where they agree for dinner place, so i missed all of it. It also needs more space for hanging wet clothes inside and outside in the garden.

The highlight of our stay in siquijor, shoutout to the amazing and super friendly staff, probably the best hostel I've ever been to and I'll definitely be back.

Very spacious! 🥰

Staff are really lovely and take the time to learn your name and greet you. They also have scooters for hire, and the family dinners are a great way to meet people.

No shower gel or shampoo in the showers and the pillow was quite lumpy

Family dinner and staff are creating a very social vibes, highly recommend

Nothing

Personalte var meget imødekommende og man kunne se at de havde det godt, man blev venner med dem. De var en rart sted at være, både faciliteterne, men også de ander gæster og personalet. Også vagten på stedet var meget meget hjælpsom, han løb ud i byen for at finde transport til os, da væres oprindelige transport ikke dukkede op, og kørte selv ud på motorcykel for at hente en der kunne køre os. De havde en lækker og gratis morgenmad til når man vågnede. Stedet kan klart anbefales :)

Accogliente, social, camere spaziose

Le camere puzzano di chiuso

Ze zorgde voor koffie en een klein ontbijtje wat erg fijn was. Het was ook een erg sociaal hostel dat voor veel activiteiten zorgde.

De bedden waren aan de korte kant.

By far the best hostel in Siquijor! Family minded, very clean, amazing staff. You will want to stay for longer than planned!

Friendly staff who learn your name immediately! Great social atmosphere, with family dinners and day trips. Really close to Paliton Beach

El personal era genial, muy amables y atentos. Las habitaciones eran amplias y limpias. El desayuno estaba bastante bien. además el ambiente del hostel era muy chill.

Que solo hubiese 4 duchas para todas las habitaciones.

Very friendly and always helpful stuff, clean and big room, very clean bathrooms, family dinners..One of the best hostels I have been to. Can recommend it to 100%. Very nice Christmas dinner :-)

So perfect I’m rebooking everything else to stay here again ;)

Fabel Hostel somehow manages to feel social, relaxed, and genuinely caring all at once. They organise family dinners which make it incredibly easy to connect with other travellers, and the tours they run support local community businesses rather than generic mass tourism. You feel good staying here. The rooms are massive, air conditioned, clean, and genuinely comfortable, not just “hostel comfortable”. Scooters are available for hire which makes exploring the island effortless, and there is 24 hour security so you feel safe at all times. The owners and volunteers are an easy going, friendly bunch who clearly love what they do. There are also a few resident dogs who wander around offering cuddles, perfect if you are missing a bit of affection while travelling. I made some truly epic friends here, the kind you know you will stay in touch with long after you leave. What really sets this place apart though is the heart behind it. The owner went above and beyond for me at 4 am when I was unwell, and I will always be grateful for that kindness. That level of care is rare.thank you Ervin and team! If you are coming to Siquijor and not staying at Fabel, you are honestly doing it wrong.

The hostel is the best. The social atmosphere and family dinners is what I wish for everyone solotraveling. The beds were a bit hard, but that might be my spoilt nature. I would recommend this accommodation for everyone that travels solo and wants to meet other people in Siquijor. I believe this hostel is the best in the whole island.

More showers.

I loved this hostel!! It’s super chilled but so friendly and sociable. They offer a small breakfast and tea/coffee/water available all day. I rented a bike here and the staff were so helpful and attentive with any concerns. The beds were comfy, with loads of space in the room and lockers.

Sometimes had to wait for a shower as the whole hostel shares.

Все супер чисто , приветливый персонал

Fabelhaft! Anders kann man es nicht sagen. Ich bin von der Gastfreundschaft und Aufmerksamkeit des gesamten Teams sehr beeindruckt. Das Hostel ist sehr gepflegt & sauber und die Zimmer haben Aircon, die Betten sind super bequem und haben Vorhänge, sodass man auch etwas Privatsphäre hat. Das beste & schönste Hostel in dem ich je war! Tipp: Probiert das regionale Craft-Beer, das dort angeboten wird. Sehr lecker! 😉

Staff was great, they basically help with everything you need Great vibes too

Staff was absolutely superb, going the extra mile every time. Atmosphere was amazing. Everything was very neat and detail oriented.

Snoring guests - but that’s how it is sometimes. Lol

Såå socialt. Rekommenderar så starkt! Familjemiddagarna är så mysiga och det gör att man lär känna alla så mycket lättare. Man måste köra moppe om man ska bo här vilket är bra och veta. Rummen är jätte stora och fina

I had a great stay at Fable Hostel in Siquijor. The atmosphere is super friendly, social, and perfect for meeting other travelers. The facilities are clean and comfortable, and the common areas make it easy to relax or connect with people. The staff is always helpful and welcoming, making sure you have everything you need and giving great recommendations for exploring the island.

Eins der besten Hostel seit ich auf den Philippinen bin. Die Dorms sind rießig, es gibt genug Platz und man kann die Klimaanlage selber einstellen. Social mit tollen Aktivitäten wie Family Dinner. Miqua und die restlichen Volunteers waren super lieb! Hab mich sehr wohlgefühlt und die Zeit sehr genossen. Kann das Hostel nur empfehlen!

L’ambiance est sympa, le staff très accueillant. Les chambres sont spacieuses

La chambre paraît mieux sur les photos, il n’y a pas de rideaux tout autour de ton lit. La salle de bains ouverte sur l’extérieur fais venir pas mal d’insecte et il n’y a pas ou peu d’eau chaude

Las instalaciones, el ambiente… un hostel con mucho rollito. Organizan cenas para integrar a la gente y tienen voluntarios que te ayudan a conocer sitios locales y a relacionarte. Es fantástico.

Super friendly, dormitory are super spacious, excellent place !

Bestes Hostel in welchem ich bisher war!

A very nice complimentary breakfast and multiple stations for filtered water. Very airy and spacious rooms with comfortable beds and good aircon. Lockers located outside the room to help reduce noise. Spacious showers with hot water. Quiet and peaceful location, short walk of a couple of restaurants and a nice beach. There was one very helpful and friendly hostel volunteer who started the day I was leaving (sorry, can’t recall her name)

Booked based upon good reviews with mention of hostel inclusivity for those who don’t ride a moped. Mindful of travelling solo I messaged ahead of check in to see how I could go about joining their weekly island ride and despite arriving when people were still leaving, this wasn’t facilitated…instead it was recommended I head off and pay for a private day tour of the island via tuk tuk on my own. I was hesitant at the idea of just being alone all day on a tour for one…alongside the feeing that it seemed expensive (fixed price for the day yet we were finished all sites by 12pm…). Another member of staff later that day asked where I had been and when I had detailed seemed shocked and thought this was very expensive, not realising their colleague actually recommended and arranged it! Another member of staff offered to show me how to use a moped the following day, which I said would be great but this didn’t materialise. I was intending to swerve leaving a review and hence the delay but feedback may be constructive. In retrospect, I feel it does fall short in comparison to all other hostels i’ve stayed in since, sadly.

Lovely staff & hostel ! Really loved that they do family dinners every night which is perfect for solo travelers :)). The staff is always here to help if you have any questions & the hostel is very clean ! They have doooggiiies hihi, which is a very good bonus for me ahaha

Only tiny sheets to sleep in, which is sometimes not enough when other people on the dorm want the A/C very low…
