    Conveniently located near an ATM and restaurants. Staff go above and beyond, helping with tours, transport, and even arranging a scooter rental. They made me feel like family, inviting me to dinner and providing extra care when I had an accident. Truly a second home.

    I stayed at Privado for one night before my flight. The location was great and the beds were comfy. I really liked that there were only 4 beds in the dorm room, which gave me more space. The family who runs the hostel is incredibly kind and treated me like family. They took care of me when I had a cold and even helped me with transportation. They took me to a local market for fresh buku, which was a highlight of my stay. Definitely recommend spending time with the family!

    Do recommend this hotel.

    At Hostel Privado, we got very nice value for our money with the spacious and comfortable double room with a private bathroom. The location was great, surrounded by numerous restaurants. The staff made us feel like family, offering us tea, coffee, and local treats upon arrival, and even were pretty good by arranging an early morning tour and helping us rent a scooter for the day. They were always ready to help with directions and recommendations, making sure we had a wonderful stay.

    The breakfast experience could have been improved with a wider variety of options.

The staff at Privado treated me like family, offering assistance with tours and transportation, and even taking care of me when I was sick.

    They even walked with us to the tricycle so we wouldn't be taken advantage of. Our room was spacious and had lovely details. The location is perfect, close to the airport and surrounded by great restaurants. Despite a minor issue with the address, our overall experience at Privado was fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel.

    This hostel is conveniently located close to the airport terminal, making it a perfect choice for backpackers with early flights. It is also situated in the city center, providing easy access to restaurants, malls, and banks. the surrounding area offers a vibrant atmosphere with plenty of nice cafes to explore.

    Some guests mentioned a slight inconvenience with finding the entrance initially, and a desire for more hanging spaces.

    I had an amazing stay at a hidden gem in Puerto Princesa. The family who owns it were really good too make my experience lovely. They even arranged a free airport pickup for me. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The AC worked perfectly and the bed was so cozy. The location was perfect, right on the main road where all the bars and restaurants are. I highly recommend staying at this wonderful place.
