This was the most wonderful hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff are some of the best people you will ever meet! Super friendly and kind. The rooms and bathroom are kept very clean. Compared to other hostels this one has a more home like vibe and is a super social place! I hope to come and visit the outpost family again one day!

This is such a friendly, sociable, clean hostel in an amazing location. Staff are all so nice and there’s events every night. Tours are well organised too. Food is very good. 100 pesos for a trike into town. Only downside is we had no Wi-Fi in the rooms.

Party hostel
This is a party hostel full of English gap year students. Don’t stay here if you are a couple or want convenient access to restaurants in town - you will have to pay 100 pesos each way for a dangerous journey on a tricycle. My advice is to stay at Friendz hostel in town.

Amazing hostel
Great crowd and the staff really made us feel at home. Make sure to get island hopping tours from them as they tailor it a bit to visit the sights when it's less crowded. Overall great experience.

Stayed a night as a solo traveler. Would recommend but be careful of the English guy behind the bar as he over charged for drinks.

Hands down the nicest hostel and location to stay at in El Nido. I checked in around sunset and the place was buzzing, with its gorgeous beachfront location and fun mix of guests (not only 20year olds). I’d give this place 5 stars if not for two reasons: - beds should have curtains, as the rooms are really small and barely give any privacy - the Filipino staff were amongst the nicest and funniest I ve come across, however, they employ some Western temp staff (your typical 20-something English lad with no life plan). These guys just bring a wrong vibe to the place, only really appealing to your 18-25 female Australians.

We stayed 2 nights in a private room Pros: Room was clean, comfy bed, friendly staff, nice view from the main seating area right on the beach Cons: Poor value - expensive for what you get, the 2nd night our Aircon didn't work at all despite adequate power for lights and fan, far from town (trike is 100php to town), most expensive beer I've seen after 1 month in the phillipines, this all took away from "cool Hostel vibes" for us

We were very warmly welcomed. It’s def a party hostel but things quiet down after 11pm. We had a private room for the three of us and it was clean and cozy. Great ac. Delicious food. Tours are pricier than what you find in town but our guides made it worth the extra money. I would def stay here again

Terrible.
Need to make sure you understand where you are going to I have been to many hostels so I'm kinda set on my expectations. This is not your cool hostel. It is a party frat house. The management feels like its students running this place. If you want a party house- that's the place. Other than that- stay away.

Outpost hostel is a pretty sweet place, and it makes you feel at home. The staff were really great and helpful. The location is not in the center of town but it doesn’t need to be, it’s right on the beach. The atmosphere is good, and easy to meet other travelers. The WiFi isn’t that great, but the only complaint! Stay here, you will love it!

One of the most well thought out hostel I ever been to! Awesome view for breakfast and sunset. The food is good! The beds are comfy with proper blankets and towels provided. Nailing the design of the toilet is a huge plus for me. Daily themed parties. The staffs are all really helpful and friendly! The island hopping tours are abit more pricey, but definitely worth it! No need to squeeze with the many other boats at the main harbors.

Great location a few minutes drive south of El Nido on the peaceful Corong-Corong beach. Outpost is very lively and has activities every evening. They offer customised boat tours away from the classic ones A,B,C,D starting from El Nido, and can arrange motorbike and kayak renting, as well as van transfer on Palawan. The food is really good and big size plates. It is a bit noisy in the evening but you can go easily by foot to great nearby restaurants if you want to have a quiet dinner, and they shut off the music at 10pm.

I was a solo traveller to the Outpost. It is a great location just outside of the town centre (100php tricycle ride). Great location for sunset scene where everyday they give out a free sunset shot. Very welcoming and friendly staff throughout my stay. Every night they have a different themed party night that really only goes until 10pm as they have neighbours to consider. You can either kick on and party in town or stay and chill in the common areas. The kitchen also cook great western and filipino dishes to satisfy your palate. The rooms were cleaned and beds made everyday. Shared bathrooms/toilets were very clean also. Overall, a great experience to have stayed here.

Great experience
I really enjoyed my time here. The hostel staff are really friendly. The food was good but a little more expensive than in El Nido town. It's a bit further out so a tuktuk is required to get places. The rooms and bathroom were well maintained and had lots of toilets and showers to accommodate everyone. The only downside for me was the aircon. Although the rooms were cold the constant aircon made everyone sick and most people I spoke to had sore throat, a cough or otherwise. For a party hostel it suits everyone as they shut off noise by 11 and everyone goes out or to bed. It was actually very quiet. I would come again but a few days is enough.

Pros: Stellar staff. They are really the best hostel staff I've ever experienced...they go out of their way to help you out, whether it's booking a tour or finding you an ATM. Cons: Common area cleanliness. A caveat is in order, however: typical of any hostel, the cleanliness of the common areas is largely dependent on the guests. The Outpost staff does their best to keep up, but that's a tall order when your clientele is largely comprised of drunken, sandy twenty-somethings.

Awesome place with a genuinely happy vibe, right on the beach, 15 min walk from Las Cabanas. Take the kayaks out for the day to Payaya Beach/7 Commandos. Only moans WiFi pretty bad and very overpriced but they can afford to because everyone wants to stay here when travelling to El Nido!!

Loved my stay at the Outpost Beach Hostel. If you’re looking for fun but not to the point where it gets gross with drunks everywhere the Outpost is the place!! Staff are helpful, super friendly and interactive with the guests to the point where they remember your name. We checked in right around 5:30pm when the party was getting started with 90s throwbacks and free sunset shots for everyone at the bar! Best first impression ever! Food here is one of the best that we had while we were in El Nido and reasonably priced. The only downfall is they don’t start serving breakfast until 8/8:30am and we were always up way earlier. There was no wifi in the rooms, you had to be in the common area to get a connection which is probably the only other con I can think of. If you’re planning on doing any tours- make sure to do them with the hostel. The staff that take you on the tours are so much fun and then you also know you’re going with a crowd that’s looking for a good time and the food was way better. The one we did with a tour company in town was a bit boring. Careful of the stairs down to the beach (how you get to the hostel) and the high tide at night. All in all if you have the opportunity to stay here and are looking for fun and to be around outgoing people- DO IT! Such a good time!

Be prepared to be blown away! Just stay here!
What a place to be! The beachfront property has amazing atmosphere especially at sundsets! The hostel is the party type so be prepared for rambunctious behaviour but not totally out of place for a hostel type accommodation. The food is also very tasty and servings are western sized if a little bit expensive from the Norm but hey you’re on holidays!

Party 24/7
This place is amazing if you want to party and get drunk every night. That's fine, but they always have pop/ hip-hip blasting on the speakers, so during the day when you want to read a book or journal, you can't because the music is overpowering everything. Besides that, the cafe is good, the wifi is HORRIBLE, and the beds aren't all the comfortable. Nightlife at the hostel is good though.

Party hostel - perfect if that's what you want
Very clean hostel which is great but focused heavily on getting drunk every night. If this is your thing then it's a perfect place for you. Location is near Corong Corong about 3km out of town.
