Like others have said, definitely a party hostel with free drinks from 7-11 pm. The private room bed we had was pretty hard, so a little rough sleep. Breakfast and coffee included in your stay. There are quite a few restaurants nearby or its an easy ride into El Nido town proper. ##### Fiona Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### HIROAKI May 9, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### HIROAKI Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom Jan 13, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Tom Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Tom Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Elisabeth Mar 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Stuff ist super lieb und immer da bei jeglichen Fragen. Ins Zentrum oder zum Vanilla Beach sind es Max. 5 min mit dem trycicle. Es gibt auch noch einen anderen Strand beim Hostel zu welchen man schnell zu Fuß ist. Abends gibt es immer free rum und man kann dann gemeinsam weiter in die Stadt zum feiern. Bei den oberen Betten gibt es leider keine Vorgängen also ist die Privatsphäre etwas eingeschränkt, aber fanden es persönlich nicht schlimm. ##### Elisabeth Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Big Paul’s is the place to be in El Nido - we didn’t know what to expect and opted for a private twin room with for £15 each Free rum and coke - for 3 hours Copious free shots - made by Paul himself Loads of other amazing backpackers from around the world Free breakfast and just everyone is so nice! 5 mins in a tricycle from El Nido town centre Bike rental yards away Can’t fault it one bit - we only wish we could have stayed longer (my liver probs couldn’t take it though) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raphaël Mar 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nice hostel, for those who want to party It's definitely a party hostel, they offer free rum and coke every day from 7 to 10pm and guests are there to party! I felt a little overwhelmed when I first got there (I like to party but I also appreciate some quiet time), however it turned out fine: just ask for a dorm far from the common area. Staff is super nice (just like everywhere in the Philippines). Wifi was very spotty + Don't book your tours or travels through this hostel, as they take a commission (just go to all the nearby travel agents). ##### Raphaël Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lara Feb 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 10/10 hostel Loved it! Was a great hostel and made some great friends ##### Lara Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaryd Jan 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### highly recommended, a great stay, clean and vibey The host, Paul, has an excellent vibe and is very welcoming. There are lots of young people at the Hostel and it would be easy to meet people if you tried. The rooms are in very good condition, as well as the bathrooms (there is even hot water!). The staff will go the extra mile for you every time! My only gripe was that the staff did not offer to clean your room or empty the bins unless you specifically asked them to - the staff should take initiative to enter the rooms and clear the bins, sweep the floors and change the sheets/blankets! However, the bathrooms are cleaned regularly. A great place overall! The Wifi doesn't really work. ##### Jaryd Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hostel was very new and very clean. Everything was great! Could ask for a place that is that cheap and in that good of condition. Definitely worth the stay. The atmosphere was awesome, easy to meet people with free Rum and Coke homemade from Big Paul. This was an amazing hostel, would absolutely recommend! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Nov 13, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is my second time with Big Paul Hostel, they are improving a lot from the poor service to almost excellent service. The hostel owner Paul is very hands on and making sure everyone having a good time. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### darren Sep 6, 2018 Great friendly place to stay I would go back ##### darren Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### darren Aug 29, 2018 #### Can't go wrong Cheerfull staff great surroundings Feel very welcome Helpful girls make you like home ##### darren Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobh-Hotels-Commodore-Hotel.h2226786.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Laval](https://www.expedia.ca/Laval-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d7801-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Chester](https://www.expedia.ca/Columbus-Hotels-Hotel-Chester.h1030186.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ami - Orso Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Ami-Orso-Hotel.h119410.Hotel-Information) > > [The Capitol Hotel Tokyu](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-The-Capitol-Hotel-Tokyu.h13577.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Condo at Langosta Beach Club!](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Your-Luxury-Condo-At-Langosta-Beach-Club.h40741855.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Madrid Centro](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Centro-Madrid-Hotels.0-n553248631822337314-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in 108 Mile Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/108-Mile-Ranch-Hotels.d177748.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Paris (CDG) to Lucciana (BIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/bia/paris-to-bastia) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Lloydminster (YLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/yll/saskatoon-to-lloydminster) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ist/toronto-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Istanbul (IST) to Amman (AMM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ist/amm/istanbul-to-amman) > > [Flights from Niagara Falls (IAG) to Fort Myers (RSW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/iag/rsw/niagara-falls-to-fort-myers) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Shanghai (PVG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lax/pvg/los-angeles-to-shanghai) > > [Delta Montreal (YUL) to New York (JFK) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/delta-from-pierre-elliott-trudeau-intl-to-john-f-kennedy-intl/dl/yul/jfk) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yxx/edmonton-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Sofia (SOF) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sof/yul/sofia-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Sepang (KUL) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/kul/nrt/kuala-lumpur-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Marseille (MRS) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mrs/yul/marseille-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Sepang (KUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sgn/kul/ho-chi-minh-city-to-kuala-lumpur) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Pearson-Intl.d5921113.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Minivan Car Rentals in Italy](https://www.expedia.ca/Minivan-Car-Rentals-In-Italy.d86-tMinivan.Car-Rental-Destination-Class) ### Packages > [Canary Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Canary-Islands.d180087.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Dixville Notch](https://www.expedia.ca/Dixville-Notch.dx183561)
