I stayed here at the end of April and had a nice stay. The staff here are really lovely, even though they were suffering from the heat too. It's very very basic and rooms can get very hot (especially when the electricity goes out!), but the staff and other guests are lovely so make up for that. Room costs are... More

If you're a rough and ready type, traveling on a budget and looking for a basic place to stay, the Backpackers Guesthouse might be for you. The walls are paper thin, but I had no problem sleeping. The shared toilet could have done with thicker walls but it was clean and the shower was great. It is located in a... More

It' not a five-star-hotel but they have everything a backpacker would need. The rooms are very basic, we only had a bed, but the common area had a TV/DVD, WiFi and kitchen. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

This is one of the best places that i have stayed in the Philippines. The hostel is really clean and has a nice relaxed atmosphere. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly... I hurt myself in a motorbike accident and they went out of their way to help me. Highly recommended.

We stayed in the backpackers recently and found it to be very clean and friendly with the added bonus of a kitchen to use (which is a luxury in the Philippines.) The staff were really friendly and helpful. One thing I would like to note is it can be rather smelly as the property is over water and at low-tide... More

I booked a room here a few days ahead of time and unfortunately I didn't make it on the date I'd said. I received an email from them asking if I was still coming. I rebooked for two days later without any problem. They were very friendly and accomodating, and I felt that the room was a good value for... More

Stayed here for a weekend with a couple of friends. Great staff --super friendly and accommodating, but the place itself was just okay. Clean and comfortable rooms, clean and working toilets and shower, decent kitchen, and nice hang out area, but don't expect to get much sleep. The pillows could be a little softer and the unsolicited wake up call... More

Tj was an excellent and welcoming host, with lots of knowledge and ideas of what to do in Coron. Stayed a total of 4 nights. Coron has brownouts everyday, and TJ was always there to ask if you're ok or to light candles. Nice accommodation, clean and comfortable beds. Only complaint was being woken up by a bird at 6am...

We stayed at Coron Backpackers for 3 nights. For 500 pesos a night you can't expect luxuries but we still feel the place falls short in certain areas. In some respects being amongst the locals is what travelling is all about, and they are really friendly. The problem is that the walls throughout the guesthouse are paper thin. The guest... More

Nice English guy runs this hostel. While coron is only ok if you are here and looking for clean budget rooms with seriously friendly staff. Go here. Nice hangout area as well. Rooms are only 380 peso. Great value
