I've had a great stay at The Flying Fish Hostel. Accommodating and friendly staff and the location is not that far from the city proper. The hostel is really spacious so hopefully they could add a fitness area for yoga and weights - absolutely excellent if they could have them in the future. Shout out to their awesome team for being so nice around! Hope to be back again.

Hostel itself is good, the room was quite clean and spacious with lockers and air con. Breakfast very simple and expensive. Few games and books provided in common area. Not much to do around in bad weather though!

One of the best looking hostels I stayed at - here in the Philippines. I love the industrial look of the room plus the spacious garden in the front. The rooms are spread out in the open - giving you more light and breathable space. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone traveling to Dumaguete soon.

I had the best time on this place. I love that it has comfy place, friendly staff, clean bathrooms and CRs, room is cool enough, and the whole place is so instagrammable. they also offer tour packages which I think is cheaper. I booked a Valencia tour package with them and Kuya Guyz who's their contact is so friendly, and really accommodating. Price for his tour is P800 + P200 transfer fee + entrance fee for the places you're gonna visit. But you can also ask Flying Fish staff to help you book him. Also booked my Apo Island trip for P1450 and it was a nice experience. Just make sure that you book it to them a day before your trip. I also love that there's a lot of near restos from it The only problem I had is that I lost my favorite shorts there after I left it to dry overnight. Some guest might have got it but I hope there's CCTV that we can check. Another issue I think is it may be too far from Rizal Blvd so when you are there and you want to go back to the hostel, trike drivers won't accept you unless you pay double. Overall, I'll give it an 8/10. It's still a highly recommended hostel.

Considering the hostel quality in the Philippines in general, I would say that the hostel was outstanding. Service was amazing, and the rooms were clean, beautiful, and relaxing. the location is pretty far for local commute to accept rides during the evening, but the distance makes up for its tranquillity. Amazing and kudos!

Had an awesome stay here. The staff were very accommodating. Clean and spacious room. Interiors are beautiful plus wifi connections fast. There's a restaurant also wherein you can buy food and drinks when you want to though it's not 24/7. Downside is, it doesn't have a kitchen for the travelers to prepare their food, plus water supply on the 2nd floor isn't that abundant. Hopefully it'll be fix soon but I'd love to stay here again.

The place is fantastic and earthly. You'll really get to know someone from their common space as it's very cozy. Though they don't serve food (Except breakfast) yet as I think they're still building the restaurant, there drinks like beers, soft drinks and all. Crews are friendly. while they also offer cheap tours like what we availed (apo island). On the picture, originally we're solo back packers and we just met in our dormitory type room. But yea, we're a group of back packers now. (See 2nd sentence for reference on how we had this trip)

I didn't expect the hostel to be nice and well-organized. The receptionist was very accommodating and it didn't take long for me to get to my room. The room is clean, well lit and I definitely loved the sheets! It was so comfortable that I slept the moment I laid on it. Common shower and toilets are a lot and definitely well-maintained. I will definitely come back here next time and will avail their island tours.

Flying Fish keeps its rooms, facilities and premises clean. We stayed on a non-peak day and they allowed our group of 5 to keep our 8-bed dorm room to ourselves. The room was spacious but can be kept cool enough and with plenty of windows.
