Seaside Hostel Malapascua

Surprisingly really great price for family room to myself. They had a refillable water station.

Bathroom was meh. No kettle available to make own coffee.

Accessible

Location is great, on the beach, walking distance to everything.

Rooms are super small and very basic. No windows even though they could have a great view on the sea. Beds very small, shared shower and bathroom. Very rudimentary and not very comfortable.

Sehr gemütlich.

nichts

the staff also arrange for my Kalangaman tour, they were communicative about the brown out and the amazing sunset .

the fact the location is in the neighbourhood , the noise

Everything

Little improvement in the bathroom

We loved everything there. No complaints, we felt at home.

This whole building is covered in black mold, this is dangerous for everybody’s health.

The best sunset view on the island

I stayed 6 nights here, I loved my room on the top floor, it was my happy place, very nice view and so relaxing place! The place is very essential, if you don’t have big expectations will be fine for you (:

I think they normally don’t provide towel Unless you ask for it, but my first night I didn’t have one. Also no bar or restaurant

Je suis déjà venue il y a 2 ans et c'était tout aussi agréable. L'eau de la douche n'est plus salée. C'est très calme le soir et proche de tout. De l'eau est disponible à l'accueil. Vue incroyable du balcon su haut sur coucher de soleil.

Cependant, la clim dans la chambre ne marchait plus (j'ai oublié de le signaler). Il n'y a plus de cuisine non plus. La prise est loin du lit...

The terrace was a great place to be, a sea view, watch the sunset and dry clothes.

I booked the last room, I don't mind small but it was so much smaller than the photos. A double bunk bed, but only enough room for one person to walk around the bed. This was not the main problem, the problem was two walls were constantly wet, running with rainwater, one that held the electrics so dangerous and sparkling! All my clothes were made damp and wouldn't dry. When I told staff they pretended not to know. Clearly walls had been painted to cover the problem and when the bed was stripped the bedding was mouldy! Serious health issues! I left early, I was told I would be refunded for the extra days but this never happened and the manager just stopped messaging. Reception was often only available if guests were checking in/ out. The advertised kitchen no longer exists and there was never any water in the dispenser. I believe the upstairs rooms were better but the terrace was the only good thing for me.

It’s situated close to the center and the port. The room was okay for the price and felt clean but basic

Sometimes hard to forget find staff and they couldn’t provide me a towel.

La terrasse

Wifi pas terrible , pas d’eau chaude le prix un peu élevé pour la prestation

Great location.

Beddings didn’t feel and smell fresh. We booked for 11 people and was charged extra for the 11th person which was a child and only allowed to pay cash for the extra person. We were only given 4 towels and charge extra for additional towels.

The surrounding areas is not desirable and smell and look dirty.

Lots of positives! Right next to the dive shop and we did our PADI and open water with them so that was perfect. Location is great, on the waterfront and near everything. Little terrace is perfect for sunset watching, chilling, etc. AC is brilliant makes the room really cold. Generally the beds were big and comfy - quite hard but nice. When the staff were around, they were super friendly.

A few negatives / areas lacking comfort. The shower doesn’t really work - only 2 strands of water coming out. Our water actually cut off a couple of times also - however they did turn it on within 2 hours every time. The terrace cushions are quite run down and coming apart. There was often no body on reception to ask for items like toilet roll. We also didn’t have our bin in the bathroom changed at all but when we tried to ask someone there was never anybody there.

De lo mejor para tener tu propia habitación si viajas solo a muy buen precio

Todo bien

Les lits sont propres et confort

La cuisine était dans un sal état, et il n'y avait pas de gaz..

L'emplacement, le calme et la gentillesse du personnel

La chambre vraiment trop petite et pas confortable malheureusement. Ils auraient pu nous conseiller une autre chambre

Personal molt acollidor i atent. Habitació a bon preu. Llits còmodes. Postes de sol davant increibles des del hostal.

L’habitació que m’han donat no tenia ni una finestra. Disposava de aire acondicionat i ventilador pero tan escandalosos que no es podia dormir. Vaig canviar d’Hostal després de passar la primera nit. Perdent els diners de la reserva

The terrace with the views... They were amazing!!!!! Also the AC worked really well. At night you could hear the sea

Location

Nothing

Clean. Location near the beach and port of entry/exit. Free drinking water.

Very compact room. Had booked the entire room, containing bunk bed for 2, so was okay. But for 2 people at same time it would be difficult I guess. No charging socket near the bed. No place /table to keep things plugged in for charging. No hot water for shower. No place to hang clothes in shower.

Location, right next to beach and port

Not the most social but can’t fault it really

The balcony fronting the beach. Close to the port. The WIFI is fast.

Water used is salt water. Towels had to be rented ₱50 each for the entire stay. Another ₱50 if you wish to get another clean towel. The sewage goes directly at the beach. Reception isn’t open early but they do provide a number which you can call for emergencies. No TV. No heater. Weak water pressure.

Pristine views

Ideal location, next to the pier and close to a couple of dive centers. The area is relaxed but still at walking distance from the main attractions of the island

I was in room n.5, which has a bathroom facing the sea. Since there's a gap between the top of the wall and the ceiling it is possible for some thieves to snuck into the room, even if it's locked (they can jump in from the common area or from the rooftop of the adjacent building). I was lucky that nothing valuable was taken, but still the owners have to either install a grid on such gap (best solution) or make possible to lock the bathroom door from within the room

Very nice hostel, clean, helpful staff

Aircon is a bit noisy

They have a Dive Shop - Dive Nation - which is highly recommended as well as the hotel.

Incredible view and location right on the beach. Small but comfortable room. Bathrooms were very clean.

Everything was good

Love the comfy bed and the AC. The kitchen facility is also good.

-

Good spot close to the beach and 15 min walk from the main restaurants and shops.

Kitchen not very clean and hard to use (not a lot of tools and no more gas when I used it )

Friendly staff

Very central location

Water and electricity not always available. One night had no power and also no water since the pump couldn't work. They're working it out with the authorities - hope it gets fixed soon. The public ferry operators are shady they try to make you pay more than the usual fare. We didn't give in and you shouldn't either - this is just for info so be aware. It is important to clarify that this is not a shortcoming of Seaside Hostel by any means - the hostel is a pleasant place and the owner and staff are nice people.

The best thing about my stay in this accommodation has certainly been Babe's kindness in any kind of consultation. She gave me very good assistance and thanks to her I'm leaving Malapascua with an amazing feeling and looking forward to coming back.

The bed was comfortable, air conditioner worked good.

Very bare plain room, The water was smelly when I took a shower

Great location. Dived with Dive Nation as well which was great. Loved sitting on the veranda and reading during my down time. Beautiful view. Be aware that the showers are not heated (I read this in a previous review so knew ahead of time). If you shower in the afternoon or evening though, the water is warm/hot! Very comfortable and would stay here again if I came back.

Fantastic location, waking up to blue water outside my window. Aircon, easy going vibe, a beautiful balcony upstairs to enjoy the sunset or coffee. Babe and Adelyn were great hosts. Value for money cannot be beaten on Malapascua. Also, I felt that my belongings and self were safe. Comfy mattress too :) originally booked 3 nights, stayed 7.

Sometimes the water refill was empty, but it’s a small imperfection really. Some may find water pressure low, but the whole island gets water from a borehole so don’t be alarmed, it’s island life!

I loved that you are literally at the beach just outside your room door

Power outings happen very often in Malapascua so it's important to book a place with power generator. This wasn't the case and we spent a couple of night with no airco

the terrace

we check out earlier than expected but after i requested to change the dates i did not receive a response from them.

Very nice location right at the beach. Loved the terrace with the best sunset view. Also loved the attached dive centre!

Bathrooms could need an update. Bunkbeds aren’t that comfy for couples..

The staff and the location was great, near everything, walk distance from the ferry, nice place for the sunset

Problem with water, no real pressure in the shower, clogged drain because of the sand, miss a bit of everything but overall great place

It was perfect. I also booked my open water certification with the hostel and Dive Nation. It was truly amazing, I can’t wait to be back.

Nothing !

You get a good stay is Malapascua for a small amount of money.

Comfort room is okay but needs improvement.

Perfect spot for sunset watching

Shared Bathroom

Clean, cheap and location.

Nothing

The location

The staff are not always around and they are not considerate

Lots of privacy, big rooms with space for backpack. Clean bathrooms, but no warm water. Excelent views from the living room, specially with high tide.

Not the closest hostel to the main area, although it is 10 min walking so not big deal. Kitchen not very clean although I did not use it.

Good location near the ferry, quiet place, helpful staff

It’s not clean at all. Everything is quite old and would need a very thorough clean, especially the bathroom. The locks are rusty and not all of them close anymore. There are inexplicable red/ brown stains on the walls. To meet someone of the staff, you have to contact them each time on Whatsapp and wait for them to arrive. The place is not on google maps and very difficult to find from the street side.

Close to the harbor, kitchen you can use

Mattress thin and uncomfortable, cockroaches in the room, neighbors super loud - music all night long, the A/c super loud, no hot water in the shower.

Superb spot to view the sunset! There is a little balcony/lounge on the first floor which was a very nice spot to relax and watch the sun go down. The single room with attached bathroom on the first floor is great value-for-money and it's really comfortable with a bunk bed, sufficient for 2 pax. It's the only single room with an attached bathroom so book it fast if it's available! Loved my stay here! ❤

The toilet of my room did not have running water suddenly but Adelyn and the team tried their best to fix it and provide alternatives, so all good :) It came back after a day or so.

Great location! Affordable! It was a beachfront. Easy access to everything. Staff were accommodating. Check in and check out process were smooth. Good view for sunset. Room was comfortable. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely will be back soon.

I can’t think of any. I really enjoyed my stay.

We had a lovely stay in this accommodation. The location is perfect. We felt very welcome since our arrival by the very nice staff. Our room was small, but clean and the terrace was beautiful and comfortable, a perfect place to watch the sunset. The wifi worked perfectly. We definitely recommend this place to stay on this island!

People are really nice, the view is stunning right on the beach. They'll open a dive shop so do not hesitate to reach out to them directly, theyre lovely
