What the reviews say
The owner actively looks out for solo women guests, and the shared bathrooms come with bidets and stay clean. Reviews are warm but light on hard specifics about the surrounding area or late-night arrangements.
- One reviewer described the hostel as feeling like staying in a friend's home, with the owner taking a genuine interest in guests' practical needs.
- Krista Montesa noted the communal bath and toilet, including a bidet, were kept clean throughout her stay and said she would return on her next trip to Dumaguete.
- The hostel is described as a quiet alternative to party hostels, where meeting other travellers happens naturally in shared kitchen and lounge areas.
- The property has a family-home character with old-world charm rather than a typical hostel setup.
- Shared bathrooms come equipped with bidets and were reported to be clean.
A read of 5 guest reviews. These reviews do not record who wrote them, so nothing here is attributed to women.
