Great community vibe

Minutes from the beach! Their communal dining area is a great place to meet fellow travellers. The staff are friendly and engaging. The room is comfortable but had an odd smell that we can't quite place. Nothing too disenchanting. We felt safe staying there and there was a security guard at night. They have many activities throughout the week that bring people together from boat tours to pasta dinners. I highly recommend for travellers wanting to meet fellow travellers!

Diversity

If you look for a place to really have fun with mostly young crowd, this hostel is the best so far. I wouldnt suggest for families with kids, as at night it gets loud til midnight due to (live band, DJ- music) and people mostly smoke cigarette. Staff are very nice, friendly, helpful and fun.. You will get along with the other tourist that came from different country. Meeting new friends is a 100%. They have their own activities- (haqqy boat- best experience). Decent for the price of our own room, pretty close to the beach (downside- the constructions from the alley going to the beach- the pathway needs renovation due to flood- mud- the smell) but we are not that picky so its bearable somehow. It would have been nice if they have Barbeque, grilled food and street food that they can serve in their restaurant. Other than that, our stay was good! And will definetly do referrals.

괜찮네요

가격대비 전반적으로 좋아요. 다만 지도 위치 절대아닙니다... 지도 보고 찾으면 절대 못찾아요.. 한시간을 헤매고 묻고 또 물어서 간신히 찾았습니다. 헤이븐스위트 리조트 골목에 있구요 헤이븐스위트리조트 맞은편에 전통가옥처럼 생긴 곳이있는데 입구도 그렇고 잘안보이니 유의하셔야해요.. 침대는 쿠션감은 별로고 좀 휘어있어서 허리가 아프긴했지만 에어컨이랑 냉장고도 있고 온수도 나와요~ 바닥은 좀 벗겨진데가 많은 나무 바닥이라 닦으면서 썼네요. 중앙이 로비이자 바이고 룸들이 그주변을 동그랗게 싸고있는 구조인데 밤 11시정도까지 바에서 노래를 크게틀어놓다보니 조용한걸 원하시면 비추입니다. 가격이 저렴한걸 감안하면 괜찮은 곳이에용!!

Will come back

Excellently run place, friendly and helpful staff, good for partying and socializing Frendz is a 1min walk from either the beach or the main road. They offer many activities and have a bar perfect for meeting people. Even when staying in in the evening, i never experienced the music as annoying and it is always turned off at 11pm and people move on to one of the nearby beach bars Had planned to stay for 3 nights, stayed for a week. Will happily come again

great people great time

people who complain about hostels probably shouldnt stay at hostels.. there meant for the younger crowd who likes to party definitely not for your family and children. With that said place was great. great people breakfast was free the private rooms were plenty big with AC and a Refrigerator. You can also charge the drinks from the beach bars to your room which is very convenient.

A decent fun place to stay

I just booked one night at the Frendz Resort at the end of my stay in Boracay. Check-in was very friendly. I had a private room and it was a good size with a private bathroom. It's a cozy little "resort" for the backpacker on a budget.

Great Backpackers

Very fun place to stay and although it is mainly aimed at younger visitors it also caters for the older crowd. Some of the younger too cool for school hippies gave me the poo's. Sitting around trying to be a little to cool listening to Mob Marley was very cool yes! But I was doing it 25 years ago, and it is nothing new and certainly not very new or cool anymore. The staff are exceptionally polite and there to make you feel welcome and cared for.

For the budget trip

Quiet an okay place to stay. We camped at one of the "huts" with aircon and a fan. When you first enter the hut it smells a bit like wet dog, but after 5 min of AC and the fan running the smell is gone. The service and friendlyness of the people who worked there was enourmous and top quality. Beside the rather used compound then it's an okay place to stay if your travelling with a tight budget in mind.

一家还不错的酒店

这是一家家庭式的经济型酒店。他的地理位置很好步行3分钟到沙滩（S1与S2相连处）靠近星巴克。到DMall也不远。但酒店的建筑是木结构建筑比较简单只可保证基本的梳洗。对居住条件较高的同学慎定。对追求原味风貌的同学来说倒是不错的选择。

类似于长滩岛的农家院--亲切，随意，不拘束

酒店应该是属于家庭旅馆类型的，不大，但是挺温馨的。有点麻雀虽小五脏俱全的感觉。老板一家人很亲切。旅馆内绿植丰富，有热带特色。房子是木质结构的，比起大酒店另有一番特色。酒店前台有免费WIFI，我们刚一到，老板就主动告诉我们密码，很了解我们哈。房间里的WIFI信号比较弱。洗澡方面没有热水器，但是水温可以接受，不会觉得凉凉的。中国人喜欢喝茶的，房间里没有烧水的壶，但是前台有热水可以自己去打。酒店早餐是自费的，味道可以，价格也还行。从酒店走出去5分钟就能到达海滩，离DMALL也不远。很喜欢房间外面的凉棚，坐在那里吹着电扇很舒服。旁边院子的大公鸡一直很兴奋，不过我睡觉死不会受影响。房间没有空调，只能一直吹电扇，白天感觉热，晚上静下来就好了。还要搭个小毛巾被呢。本人不是很怕热，所以能接受。房间挺干净的，每天打扫，放了小费人家也没收。

长滩Frendz

酒店位置靠近DMALL，离沙滩也很近，步行大概都是三分钟，庭院似的小酒店，环境不错，服务更好，尤其是前台叫ROSE的小姑娘，笑容清纯，老板是意大利人，人很好，退房的时候每人给了一张名片，亲手写上感谢我们入住。只是门前通往mian road的小路太难走了。下次去长滩还会去Frendz

Friendly backpacker hotel

This hotel is basic. Its overall structure is a cluster of huts in native materials. At some time it must have been charming, but maintenance has been haphazard and the general impression is of an establishment in decline. It could do with a major renovation. Rooms have a bed and fan, AC which works more-or-less, and a simple bathroom. Lighting is barely enough for reading (even in broad daylight). There is a feel of mustiness and damp. Sound insulation is absent and there is little space between the clusters. If you have inconsiderate neighbors, then you are likely to be woken during the night (in our case by heated arguments and some fairly colorful language occasionally). The hotel is located about 250 m from the sea and cool sea breezes do not penetrate beyond the fringe of densely packed (and frequently unattractively constructed) resorts, restaurants and small businesses along the seashore. Hence, in Frendz Resort, the air is still and the humidity and heat sometimes overbearing. Access to the beach is via a narrow lane between buildings. Water drips into the lane from overhead roof drains and airconditioner pipes. One establishment bordering the lane hoses out its kitchen and leaves pools of dirty water on the path. In spite of my negative comments, I would like to stress the friendliness and warmth of the family running Frendz resort. They make a lot of effort to please guests, serve great meals at reasonable cost, and provide free WiFi.

Great location - Friendly Staff

This place was a great place to stay. The bamboo huts really add to the ambiance. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. There is a common area with secured wi-fi access, a pool table, a long picnic table, a bar (where you can charge drinks to your room) and food available 24/7. Frendz is in a good location - about a 5 minute walk to the beach. Staff is available 24/7, and after midnight they lock the gate. Just ring the bell and someone will let you in. The bamboo huts are a nice touch. They are difficult to maintain, but worth the "experience". Sound does travel, so if you are traveling with a girl/boy-friend, you may be able to hear your neighbors and they may be able to hear you.. Overall it's a great place to meet other travelers, a great place to stay, friendly staff and close to the beach. Side note - avoid the island hopping tours - Take the Ariel's Point cliff diving tour - It's 1200 pesos per person, and well worth it! The staff can set it up for you.

Very Friendly at Frendz

My partner and I spent 2 weeks in the Philippines starting off in Malapascua scuba diving then we made our way to Boracay where we stayed at Frendz. The wife Rebecca was extremly friendly when we checked in - our names were on a Welcome board and they gave us a complimentary beer. We booked one of the bungalow rooms and found it to be really spacious and clean - very simple accommodation but perfect. The water was luke warm but not hot but it was hot enough for us not to mind the cooler shower. The only thing that was a bit of an annoyance was the Rooster next door that never shuts up. You get used to him and eventually you don't notice him in the morning after awhile. The staff are extremly friendly and the common area is a good place to hang out and meet everyone else. It's about a 2 min walk to the beach which is really convienient and the security is pretty good so no need to worry about that. I really recommend this place!

Frendz Hostel at Boracay - good for solos/families

I travelled solo female to Boracay and had a great experience at this hostel. The shortcomings listed in the reviews are also common at much more expensive hotels in the Philippines. Clean, fairly secure, only a minute from the beach, where the hostel has reserved access to (complete with beach chairs, cafe to provide drinks/snacks) and from the road (enough if you like to sleep). .

i was expecting a decent service from the cheap price that i paid for my stay in the beautiful island, but it was much better than i expected. me and my girlfriend got there 0730 and Reinhard greeted us with a delightful cup of capuccino, as expected our room is not yet available, but Reinhard let us use a vacant room and transfered all our stuff to our designated room once we got back from Ariel's point. the cottages are nipa hut or "bahay kubo" whiich i prefer since i am in a tropical island got some problem with the room's AC and hot shower but quickly fixed. room is cozy and you get to feel like you are indeed in a tropical island. hospitable owners like Reinhard and Rose comes great staff who took care of our needs. and to add if you are kitesurfing, Reinhard will have you rent his kite and board for half the price of the cheapest kite school in bulabog beach. but i warn you, this resort is only for the cool tourists of boracay, those who enjoy chatting and drinking "redhorse" with other backpackers, those who are crazy enough to jump at ariel's point, those who wanna chill and relax with the native ambience. just like my governor's favorite line "I'll be back." hopefully soon.

Authentic tropical island experience

We received a warm welcome by Reinhard and his family and were treated like family while we were staying at this place (4 nights). the bamboo cabins with their individual porches are authentic and unfortunately they are disappearing because they are difficult to maintain. The atmosphere was very peaceful, we met many nice travelers when sitting in the resort restaurant, the property looks like a botanical garden - you will love it. We can't wait to go back. This was the first time that we were able to received a free Wifi signal even 4 star hotels charge you for that in the Philippines and we went to 3 different Starbucks that did not have Wifi
