Dam Dam Hostel

Tout c’était parfait

good location + lovely staff

limited water pressure in shower, but wasn’t too bad

Location

No water to take showers

Personnel hyper gentil. Bien situé. Tour avec l’hostel dans les îles super. De manière générale propre.

J’aurais mis plus s’il n’y avait pas eu une souris trois nuits d’affilée dans la chambre. Elle est carrément monté sur le visage d’une des personnes du dortoir. Pour le prix, je pense qu’un espace cuisine serait un plus ou le petit déjeuner compris dans le tarif.

Posizione defilata rispetto al rumore del villaggio, comunque a pochi passi da tutto. Struttura ben tenuta, organizzata, pulita. Molti i bagni e le docce. Letto comodo con prese e armadietti spaziosi, uno con chiave. Acqua potabile a disposizione degli ospiti. Personale gentile e disponibile. Cocktail omaggio di benvenuto

Non c'è l'acqua calda

I had an incredible stay at Dam Dam Hostel. The facilities are amazing — everything is well designed, comfortable, and very clean. The common areas are great, and the overall vibe of the hostel is fun, welcoming, and relaxed. The restaurant is also incredible. The food is delicious, well prepared, and the atmosphere makes it a perfect place to hang out, even if you’re not staying at the hostel. What truly makes Dam Dam Hostel special is the people. The entire staff is amazing, friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. I want to mention Jade, Vergel, Shirlyn, Roan, Aeron, Mean, Ewa, Ian, and Lorraine — and I know I’m probably forgetting some names, but honestly, every single person there is incredible, without exception. You really feel treated like family here. This is more than just a hostel; it’s an experience. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

Staff were great and good onsite restaurant. Beds were comfy.

Showers just had cold water unfortunately and issues with dogs staying in our room

great location, beds were comfy and the huts were very cute. we also had washing line which was super useful

the first night there was tons of ants on my bed which i realised in the middle of the night as they were tiny so had to stay up killing them all - easily moved to another spot in the morning, showers were always freezing cold

Por el precio esta muy bien no busques lujos pero esta por encima de la media de hostel de filipinas amplio limpio correcto y comodo

Se pusieron hacer obra con el taladro a las 7 de la mañana teniendo mil tareas que hacer que no hacian ruido y que las hicieron despues no tienen mucha consideracion pero en general

Staff disponibile e struttura tutto sommato pulita

Non fanno rispettare le regole alle persone e questo crea un caos allucinante, internet è spesso assente e le docce non hanno l’acqua calda (solo fredda)

La gente q trabaja ahí es lindísima. O

No hay sala de estar y sería muy cómodo tener lugares donde estar cuando llueve ya q se inunda el pueblo y sin lugares cómodos donde estar se hace muy incómodo. El restaurante no da descuento a hospedados, más bien, el costo del servicio q usan cada vez es más alto.

Es de los mejores hostales que he estado en Filipinas. Las habitaciones son espaciosas, hay aire acondicionado, las camas cómodas, con cortinas para tener privacidad y con un armario con llave para guardar tus cosas. Hay muchos baños y duchas. Durante mi estancia no tuvimos ningún problema con el agua de las duchas (aunque solo hay agua fría). Hay sitio para tender tus cosas. El personal es súper amable. Lo recomiendo 100%.

Good aircon

NO WATER. Stayed for 2 nights and couldn’t shower or flush the toilet the entire time. Rooms smelled mouldy.

Le personnel était incroyable, la chambre était bien avec casier personnel pour affaire, le resto était bon !

The staff is great and helpful Bed are comfy I was ok with it but no pressure in the shower so you will use a bucket

Knockdown house built into the hostel Water running very slow

Everything clear, nice and organised! The staff was super kind and nice . Thanks.

The rooms are simple but comfy. A bit dark, but I liked that the locker was inside your bed space so you can access it easily. The bathrooms could be cleaner but it was okay. The price and the location is great so ai can’t complain 😄

Wifi didn’t reach into the room

Comfy and clean

Nothing in particular

-comfortable bed with locker -enought showers and they were clean all the time -water to refill -free coffee -location (near to the center) -friendly stuff

Good location not far from the beach. Food there was cheap

There were aggressive stray dogs that run round the entire hostel and fight all night. The drains leak so there is a bad smell between all the cabins.

Nice set up in Dormitory great privacy with curtains. Great storage by the bed. Plenty of space to hang up your wet stuff. Liked it so much that I ended up staying longer. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Internet connection stable nice place to work remotely.

Prices for tour. Can book outside for cheaper and all the tourguides are legit. You end up on the same tour as everyone else who paid 300 pesos less.

Friendly staff, air con worked, and bed was comfy. Only had 1 night here after 3 nights at another place in Port Barton - this one was more basic but did the job.

The showers have hot water, but I know there are problems with water availability and electricity in Port Barton more generally.

Spacious rooms & beds, on the whole it was a nice place to be with a nice vibe :)

The bathrooms could’ve been better and weren’t overly clean. More comfortable seating in the main area would’ve been ideal. Not their fault but there were dogs that barked and chased each other pretty much all night, and it was quite disruptive

Restaurant on site. Nice staff. Good A/C and fans

Not much. Some details only, not worth mentioning

It was okay for a few nights. Clean rooms and location is good

The guys in our room woke us up every night when they came in drunk

The beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

No WiFi in the room unless you're close to the dada cafe. We, also, saw dogs drinking water from the toilets. We stayed for a month in the Philippines and it was the most expensive hostel we stayed at. There's no hot water or pressure to shower in most bathrooms.

Great restaurant area to hang out, and balconies in front of dorms. The staff were extremely helpful and gave excellent deals on transport and boats trips.

Bathrooms and showers weren't very clean, most of the showers were broken, and the bathrooms were right by a smelly swamp. There wasn't enough space for everyone to hang their towels and wet swimsuits. It's a good hostel, but very overpriced, as it's not as good as other hostels here which are half the price.

Comfy beds, nice shared areas. The bar/restaurant its pretty good. Unfortunately I spent one whole rainy day at the bar, good food, the sitting options could be more comfy. The staff is friendly, and the room and facilities were pretty clean. Lockers where the bed is with the key

No single light in the bed. Because of the rain we run out of water pressure, but still I took a shower. Bit further from the restaurants and beach area

the staff was friendly and helpful. we could met a lot of others backpackers there, and the vibe was really cool and friendly ! the room and beds really comfortable also.

only maybe that there were never hot water to shower. finally you are used to but sometimes it’s not really comfortable.

Clean bed and facilities.

A leaky aircon system.

The beds were very comfortable with curtains. The WiFi is great ( doesn’t extend to the room which is not a problem) the staff was AMAZING very kind and will help you with anything. They have multiple showers & bathrooms they are cleaned regularly. This is a 5-10 min walk from the bus station/city center. They have a good restaurant with lots of food choices. I would recommend & stay again.

Nothing

The restaurant staff and food are good. I am mostly impressed with your front desk lovely ladies. They were so helpful and friendly. Especially Samantha!! She was the highlight of this hostel. She always carried herself so well with her mannerisms, and beautiful smile throughout the day. She made my stay worthwhile!! Thank you Samantha. Love!

It would be nice to have a light around the bed.

Cockroaches around the bar Wifi didnt reach the rooms Poor water pressure Watch out when you hang your clothes outside. I've got mine stolen. Staff wasnt very helpful with that

everything super clean, amazing staff!!

Comfy beds, cozy vibes, with restaurant and good internet.

Great location and good breakfast at the restaurant

As showers pretty much outside lots of bugs

Nice people.

Small beds, expensive food for the content compared to neighbouring places. The room hadn't probably been used before me in quite sometime because it smelled a lot like closed.

There was not wifi inside the room If you can put woulbe good

For the price, the place is more than good.

Some water shortages from time to time. Normal thing in Port Barton, it's not about the hostel but the town.

Adorable budget friendly hostel with decent facilities

Gaps on the window let some mosquitoes get in the room

Will be back to Dam Dam should I go back to Port Barton again! The staffs were amazing - I got injured during my stay and one staff offered me have his ointment to help relieve the pain of my injury. I really appreciated this! They're all so friendly too and my group (3 girls) never felt unsafe during our stay here. The room is spacious enough for 8 people although it wasn't full when we stayed as it is low season. The pillows are firm and very comfortable as per my liking. Each dorm bed has also cabinets with locks provided. Linens smell fresh. Sadly, their resto was close during this time of visit but I was able to try it previously and I really liked what I had.

Hope you maintain the cleanliness of the shower areas. There were always sachets of toiletries during our stay. I know this should be the guests responsibility to throw their trash but some just don't bother so I hope the management will also monitor cleaning them.

Friendly staff, clean, privacy because of the curtains everything ok

Nothing

Clean rooms and they also cleaned the bathrooms every morning. Dorm has air conditioning and each bed has a curtain, large locker, and individual power outlet/socket. Location is good, within walking distance of everything in the town, 8 minutes walk from the bus terminal. Free cold drinking water provided. Towel and toilet paper provided. Showers worked fine when I was there. Wifi worked well in lobby/reception area only. Check out is at noon.

There is no wifi or cell signal in the dorm so you have to go outside to use the internet, but if you sit outside you get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Water in the shower was cold and water pressure was weak but this wasn't a big deal. There was a nasty looking stain on the inside of the curtain on my bed... curtain should be washed. The morning I was going to check out, I was still in bed (an hour or so before check out time) and a male staff member opened my bed curtain without warning to check if the bed was available, this was very uncomfortable, awkward, and unprofessional and made me feel like my privacy was violated and I couldn't feel relaxed in bed after that. They need to keep better track of who has checked out at reception instead of just yanking curtains open to check the beds when guests could still be there... please respect guests' privacy.

Adam the host is incredibly sweet! The rooms are so comfy with a nice bed, AC. I took several naps and I don’t generally take naps. Extremely clean. The restaurant was closed but they boiled eggs I brought every morning and helped me with anything I needed. Motorbike rental, tours, etc.

Not much to say.

Port Barton is awesome and I had so much fun staying at Dam Dam's, thank you very much for everything! <3

comfy beds and good facilities. staff are friendly and short walk to the town. lack of water pressure for the shower, but this is a problem around the whole town, so not the hostels fault. bucket wash facilities for when shower doesn’t work.

Food, AC, staff

No running water

Comfy beds in a great location. Breakfast was very nice.

All good.

Clean rooms, comfy beds with AC. Spacious too

I think it’s more a port barton issue so can’t really fault the hostel too much, but there was no running water when I was there. Also the wifi does not reach the rooms
