Staffers are very friendly and helpful.
Rooms are very small. Even the door cannot open easily because the mattress is blocking in the way.

The rooms are quite small but have a fan and an A/C and the bed is comfortable. The bathrooms are clean. I wouldn’t say it’s a social hostel but to relax and have a it of time for yourself it’s great. The owners are…

I stayed here on my way to El-nido because my flight arrived at 9pm so I was looking for a stay. Overall the place is great. The small room I had was for the duration of my stay sufficient but if you plan on staying…

Questions about Balai Vivencio Hostel

Does Balai Vivencio Hostel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is breakfast included at Balai Vivencio Hostel?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Balai Vivencio Hostel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Balai Vivencio Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at Balai Vivencio Hostel?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book Balai Vivencio Hostel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
