A+ location and staff”

We were pleasantly surprised to find that dormitels was connected to eco hotels and the staff was more than helpful. Every time before we left the hotel we inquired how much a trike would cost from that location. The given price by the drivers was always higher and we chewed them down to the price given by them. Location is great as even tho it is really not in front of the beach as advertised, it’s part of a little cluster with some of the best food we found on the island! Altrove for pizza and the Israeli falafels were to die for!

Dirty, bad smell, cockroaches ”

First dorm experience. Not very impressed. The location is good but outside of the main town (short walk), but it's in its own district with bars and restaurants. Dormitels is part of a higher end hotel, so the communal area is decent, however the dorms are located off site. The path to them is littered with garbage and cock roaches. Bad smell in the dorm.

They double booked us. ”

We arrived and they had double booked us, so we were moved to a random hotel that had vacant rooms. We were offered no compensation or choice of other hotel and there was very little apology made. We were able to move back for a two night stay where our room had multiple cockroaches both nights. Also be aware that it’s located a little far out of the main town and I would suggest staying closer to El Nido town. I wouldn’t stay here again.

3 Night Stay”

This property is in El Nido Bay about 2km from El Nido Town. When we checked in we were pleased with what we found esp with the price we paid but were expecting worse after reading reviews. Pro's - A short walk to the beach with stunning sunsets! Neg's - The water brown at first then smelly but we think it comes straight from the well... El Nido is so remote once you see how the locals live you will understand the water situation but this may change in the future as lots of development going on. Then it's WIFI - Its best not to expect any as its so slow when you have it... Not availble in rooms but you can get it in some places in El Nido at reception we got connected but couldnt load anything including our Agoda booking. Overall we would stay again if the price was the same after falling in love with El Nido!

It's important to say that almost all accomodation in El Nido faces somes problems , such as smelly water, no hot shower, cover in toilets, electricity falls, etc. But our room was clean, the bed (mattress) was good - new - with aircon. the staff was ok, helpful, and the price was really great.
