Sobrang strategic nung place sa station 1 kasi paglabas mo Aplaya na kaagad! Malinis din yung kwarto namin and CR ❤️ Mabait din kausap sina Ate Janine, our receptionist and we understand na hndi pwede mag early check in and may additional na 200 per hour for that. We totally respect it. Nonetheless, sobrang linis ng place and very accomodating naman sila pagdating mo sa place! Will definitely go back! May hot and cold shower din plus netflix so you can watch your favorite series during the night! Will rate it 9/10! 💋🌴✨️

What a great location, lovely staff and a great vibe - I’ll be back Right near the centre of the main beach, everything is close by that you need including good, inexpensive food in the alleyway on the way to the beach if the backpackers kitchen isn’t open - enjoy

Would not recommend at all because of how dirty it was and the weird vibes at the hostel. The private room was just a hut on the roof with only one fan for two beds. It was a long walk from the hut to the restroomd and once you got there the toilets were dirty, there was no toilet paper or soap and they only got cold showers.

Yes it’s cheap, but dirty bed, sheets are old with holes in them, floor very sandy when arrived, very limited WiFi in room 2.55mb download, spiders in the room. Noisy aircon. Even for a hostel, I was expecting much better for its location. Reception are lovely people but unfortunately the actual rooms are a huge let down. I checked out an hour within check in!

The beds are so relaxing which can make you feel comfortable while sleeping even when you're too tired. The location is not too far from the front beach. The common toilets/shower were clean. Suggestion - add more lights on the rooftop native fan rooms, it is kinda scary at night. 😅

This property looks nothing like advertised. I booked a private room, when checking in I was taken upstairs to an area that looks like it was being rebuilt after a hurricane. The rooms were made of ply wood and were unfinished, Perspex window with no curtain, door didn’t lock. It was not a private room but a dorm with nobody else in it, no fan or aircon. I questioned why I didn’t have a private room with a double bed and I was told they didn’t have any. I checked out 10 minutes later as it wasn’t what I booked and was not offered any refund.

There are other hostels exceptionally better on being a hostel in the island. If you are a bacpacker or an experienced traveler, you'll find the facility a dismay with poor policies. I've been going to the island countless in the last 20 years, this is rather a mediocre even on hostel level. Stay away

The Staffs are great! They are all kind and approachable. The room was kind of smelling like a new cement but overall it is clean. They also clean our room everyday. The aircon is fully functional and cold. They allowed my request to turn it on before we arrive since we had a late checkin. It is a walking distance to the beach which is great. it is also near the main road. im happy to go back the 3rd time when i visit bora again.

Boracay Backpackers is situated in a nice location, just at Station 1, which is nearby everything, stores, beach, and more. It's very affordable, so it's recommended for budget-friendly trips, but not so much for comfort. The room is not that clean, and the floor is always wet, and seems not getting dry. There are no windows for air to get in, as we are located in the middle room, and the door is somewhat challenging to open. Also, cleanliness is not well maintained. You get what you paid for the cheap price. By the way, the lady at the reception is nice. 😂 Boracay Backpackers is situated in a nice location, just at Station 1, which is nearby everything, stores, beach, and more.

I give it 5 stars for its price. The room is clean and comfy. Very good location as it is just a few meters away from the white beach and a few meters from the highway. The place is ideal for those who are on a tight budget and need a safe and comfortable accomodation.

Worst. Waited more than 30 mins before we were able to check in to our room. We arrived at the hotel 2 hrs prior to check in time which is 2pm but it seems they did not prepare the room ahead. Water pressure is weak cannot flash the toilet and with no toilet seat cover. Have to pay 50 pesos for the towel, we were 8 pax so we need 8 towels but only 3 were available since it is still in laundry. Room and sheets were not that clean. Will never go back to this hostel.
