The accommodations were very cute, and the staff was friendly. They allowed me to check in early because I explained that I hadn't slept coming from Siquior.

Family-owned hostel right by the beach where you can go swimming with whale sharks. They had someone wait by the road for us to arrive with our bus in the late-evening. The lovely staff made sure we were on the first boats out to the whale sharks the morning after, and that we could rent a GoPro for the activity. They even fixed that we could go to Sumilon Island during our stay, and arranged our ferry from Oslob onwards to Bohol. The outside hut has electronic outlets and a mosquito net, although you need to walk over to the bathroom (shower is rudimentary).

We are happy with everything. Cha-cha is very nice, and her husband is a great singer 😆 there is everything you need for life for a very low price. There is a kitchen and recreation areas. The house is very beautiful. the room was small, but we only slept there, there is a lot of space on the territory for spending time.

Okay my opinion is a biased, but this was the best place from the whole Philippines. And not just because I’ve met people there with whom I traveled almost for the rest of the Philippines. Also you won’t find hosts like Erwin that often.

Beautiful bungalows in the wood, a typical Filippino/Indonesian style, very clean, full of greenery, a real relax, but still only 6-7 min walking from the main road with bars, restaurants, mini marts and street food. The staff Is very nice, friendly, warm, so I extended my stay for another week. I work online, so I even could continue working. The toilets are clean, the kitchen too, there are all necessary amenities for cooking and eating. Recommended!

Blue House Backpackers has been one of the best hostels I have been to! As soon as you enter, you feel like you are part of a new family. The beds are comfortable, there is AC, a kitchen you can use that is well equipped, several bathrooms and a nice garden to relax. When we came we immediately made friends with one person there that was working as the manager, Steven. He helped us a lot and showed us different places on the island. Siquijor is a really nice island that offers everything, waterfall, divers marine (we saw turtles while snorkeling with Steve!), jungle, party & so much more. I would definitely recommend this hostel as a really easy way to get in contacts with locals and to feel at home

All hostels in Dumaguete

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I booked one night in the dorm and one night in a private en-suite. The dorm was very good, with lots of safe storage space under the bed, and more space at bed level to have my luggage. There was even a rack to hang a towel or fabric for some privacy. No issues with mosquitoes in the dorm, probably because it has AC and a fan. I loved the style of the hostel. Bed was very comfy. Breakfast in the cafe next door was very nice. Close to lots of nice restaurants. Staff was useful. Would love to stay there again.

    I liked the whole vibe and aesthetic of the hostel. I stayed in the bunk beds and it was okay. They put me in a 6 bed instead of the 10 bed because the AC in the room was broken. It may be better if there was a curtain for each bunk for privacy. There's a little storage, lamp and power socket for each bed. The restaurant is great! I didn't have the chance to try the food but I did try their coffee and pastry (which is 40% after 6PM) and it was really good! I highly recommend the restaurant for it.
