Frendz Resort Boracay - Boracay

This hotel is basic. Its overall structure is a cluster of huts in native materials. At some time it must have been charming, but maintenance has been haphazard and the general impression is of an establishment in decline. It could do with a major renovation. Rooms have a bed and fan, AC which works more-or-less, and a simple bathroom. Lighting is […] barely enough for reading (even in broad daylight). There is a feel of mustiness and damp. Sound insulation is absent and there is little space between the clusters. If you have inconsiderate neighbors, then you are likely to be woken during the night (in our case by heated arguments and some fairly colorful language occasionally). The hotel is located about 250 m from the sea and cool sea breezes do not penetrate beyond the fringe of densely packed (and frequently unattractively constructed) resorts, restaurants and small businesses along the seashore. Hence, in Frendz Resort, the air is still and the humidity and heat sometimes overbearing. Access to the beach is via a narrow lane between buildings. Water drips into the lane from overhead roof drains and airconditioner pipes. One establishment bordering the lane hoses out its kitchen and leaves pools of dirty water on the path. In spite of my negative comments, I would like to stress the friendliness and warmth of the family running Frendz resort. They make a lot of effort to please guests, serve great meals at reasonable cost, and provide free WiFi. Read more

This place was a great place to stay. The bamboo huts really add to the ambiance. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. There is a common area with secured wi-fi access, a pool table, a long picnic table, a bar (where you can charge drinks to your room) and food available 24/7. Frendz is in a good location - about a 5 minute walk to the beach. […] Staff is available 24/7, and after midnight they lock the gate. Just ring the bell and someone will let you in. The bamboo huts are a nice touch. They are difficult to maintain, but worth the "experience". Sound does travel, so if you are traveling with a girl/boy-friend, you may be able to hear your neighbors and they may be able to hear you.. Overall it's a great place to meet other travelers, a great place to stay, friendly staff and close to the beach. Side note - avoid the island hopping tours - Take the Ariel's Point cliff diving tour - It's 1200 pesos per person, and well worth it! The staff can set it up for you. Read more

i was expecting a decent service from the cheap price that i paid for my stay in the beautiful island, but it was much better than i expected. me and my girlfriend got there 0730 and Reinhard greeted us with a delightful cup of capuccino, as expected our room is not yet available, but Reinhard let us use a vacant room and transfered all our stuff to […] our designated room once we got back from Ariel's point. the cottages are nipa hut or "bahay kubo" whiich i prefer since i am in a tropical island got some problem with the room's AC and hot shower but quickly fixed. room is cozy and you get to feel like you are indeed in a tropical island. hospitable owners like Reinhard and Rose comes great staff who took care of our needs. and to add if you are kitesurfing, Reinhard will have you rent his kite and board for half the price of the cheapest kite school in bulabog beach. but i warn you, this resort is only for the cool tourists of boracay, those who enjoy chatting and drinking "redhorse" with other backpackers, those who are crazy enough to jump at ariel's point, those who wanna chill and relax with the native ambience. just like my governor's favorite line "I'll be back." hopefully soon.

We received a warm welcome by Reinhard and his family and were treated like family while we were staying at this place (4 nights). the bamboo cabins with their individual porches are authentic and unfortunately they are disappearing because they are difficult to maintain. The atmosphere was very peaceful, we met many nice travelers when sitting in the […] resort restaurant, the property looks like a botanical garden - you will love it. We can't wait to go back. This was the first time that we were able to received a free Wifi signal even 4 star hotels charge you for that in the Philippines and we went to 3 different Starbucks that did not have Wifi Read more

For a 2 star property, i'm very satisfied with the amenities and serviced I received. This property is 3 minutes walk from the white sandy beach of station 1. Though the neighborhood are residential properties but still the area is safe even at night. The surrounding is quite and it provide enough time for me to rest after a long journey. If your budget […] is tight, then this place is for you. If you need anything, everyone in the property is willing to go the extra mile to assist you. I even chatted with the Austrian owner who's very humble and down to earth. Read more

Very fun place to stay and although it is mainly aimed at younger visitors it also caters for the older crowd. Some of the younger too cool for school hippies gave me the poo's. Sitting around trying to be a little to cool listening to Mob Marley was very cool yes! But I was doing it 25 years ago, and it is nothing new and certainly not very new or […] cool anymore. The staff are exceptionally polite and there to make you feel welcome and cared for. Read more

My partner and I spent 2 weeks in the Philippines starting off in Malapascua scuba diving then we made our way to Boracay where we stayed at Frendz. The wife Rebecca was extremly friendly when we checked in - our names were on a Welcome board and they gave us a complimentary beer. We booked one of the bungalow rooms and found it to be really spacious […] and clean - very simple accommodation but perfect. The water was luke warm but not hot but it was hot enough for us not to mind the cooler shower. The only thing that was a bit of an annoyance was the Rooster next door that never shuts up. You get used to him and eventually you don't notice him in the morning after awhile. The staff are extremly friendly and the common area is a good place to hang out and meet everyone else. It's about a 2 min walk to the beach which is really convienient and the security is pretty good so no need to worry about that. I really recommend this place! Read more

I travelled solo female to Boracay and had a great experience at this hostel. The shortcomings listed in the reviews are also common at much more expensive hotels in the Philippines. Clean, fairly secure, only a minute from the beach, where the hostel has reserved access to (complete with beach chairs, cafe to provide drinks/snacks) and from the road […] (enough if you like to sleep). .

Quiet an okay place to stay. We camped at one of the "huts" with aircon and a fan. When you first enter the hut it smells a bit like wet dog, but after 5 min of AC and the fan running the smell is gone. The service and friendlyness of the people who worked there was enourmous and top quality. Beside the rather used compound then it's an okay place to […] stay if your travelling with a tight budget in mind. Read more

화이트비치에서 가깝습니다. 스타벅스 등 커피숍과 가깝고 음식점도 주변에 많습니다. 방안에 에어컨이 없고 샤워기가 고정되어 있습니다. 방 안을 환하게 밝히는 조명이 아닌 작은 전등이 달려있습니다.

这是一家家庭式的经济型酒店。他的地理位置很好步行3分钟到沙滩（S1与S2相连处）靠近星巴克。到DMall也不远。但酒店的建筑是木结构建筑比较简单只可保证基本的梳洗。对居住条件较高的同学慎定。对追求原味风貌的同学来说倒是不错的选择。

酒店位置靠近DMALL，离沙滩也很近，步行大概都是三分钟，庭院似的小酒店，环境不错，服务更好，尤其是前台叫ROSE的小姑娘，笑容清纯，老板是意大利人，人很好，退房的时候每人给了一张名片，亲手写上感谢我们入住。只是门前通往mian road的小路太难走了。下次去长滩还会去Frendz
