Bugoy Bikers Hostel

I've actually stayed here from December 6th to 9th 2024. It seems like the place has seen better days. The garden was completely miss cared, the toilet is not very good, and I've got no recommendations for bike tours or anything else... The owner wasn't there during my stay.

I did not stay at the hostel, but had the pleasure of going on a bike tour up to Tops at the top of Busay mountain. Diego, my tour guide, was an incredible dude. He also gave me a ride back to the condo I was staying at after we returned. It was a tough and sweaty ride to the top, but it was so rewarding when you get up there, see the view, and know what you accomplished! I would highly recommend their bike tours. Also, Jens who was my main point of communication leading up to the tour, was an extremely helpful source of information as a first time traveler to the Philippines. Pedal power! 💪🏻

Seems perhaps it's an off season thing, yet they have signs indicating food and drink, yet they don't have most of what listed on the wall. Presently it's more of a cook on your own from the trust fridge at the moment. They have lots of signs for a bar that was here at one time. I ended up going to the supermarket as they had no beer and I was hoping for some sleepy juice due to my need to go to bed early for my next flight. The room is basic, good for a night of sleep after a flight. The staff is friendly and accommodating, they cooked me a meal after my 32 hours of flying and layovers, however, they suggested at first that I just cook for myself, I just didn't have the energy. I don't stay in hostiles much, yet this is just fine for simple accomodations. However, it's lacking the bar and most of the food that's posted on the walls at this time. Edit: Apparently the travel agency (Chase Miles) messed up my reservation, I had no idea, the hostel didn't mention it either, my apologies for the screws up. With regard to the beer I did ask, the staff told me to go to the store. I felt a bit weird asking for food, when I did they said I needed to to cook it myself, however I asked if they had any loganisa and they said no. I had no problem with that, and I said some sausage and rice, which was available, was fine and thanked them for cooking it for me. I made nothing upon my original review, perhaps just needed to explain more clearly as to my experience, so I'm not sure where that accusation came from. However, knowing the booking was not correct I can totally understand the challenge with an unexpected guest. Thanks for the stay, it worked out fine, regardless.

Room was advertised with AC, and it did not. Bed was too big for the bed frame, pieces of debruy on the bed. Some windows had see through curtain in place so felt quite open when in the room. Toilets had no bin for toilet paper, showers were cold and had a dead cockroach in it. Staff were lovely, but the place needs some TLC.

The bugoy bikers hostel is one of the best hostels we ever stayed in. We felt like home the minute we stepped in. It was three of us, and there was no problem putting an extra bed in the super spacious double bedroom. The room was very clean with the biggest and  most comfortable bed we could find in the Philippines. Service all together was on a really high level. The owner took his time for all of our questions (and there were many) and recommended us the best way to plan our trip around. He also selfinitiatively made a reservation for our next accommodation. Besides that the food was really nice. Would definitely stay there again without any doubt whatsoever.

Beautifully set up for the friendly casual traveller. Owners are a bit careless but not a big deal (lost our bookings - on two seperate occasions - and fixed us up with a poorer quality room, no refund and no apology). The rest of the staff are brilliant, though, and worth the stay just for that. Location is decent for eating, need to habal-habal to nearby touristic sites. Clean and comfy, loved the honesty fridge, food smelled great but we didn’t eat there. Dogs a bit scary, but cute bunnies and tiny turtles.

The place is very homey. Two dogs will welcome you at the gate - terifying but cute and gentle once it gets to know you. The owners are two foreigners and are very warm and hospitable. They still welcomed us even without a reservation late at night. They have an ”honest” kitchen, which I find really convenient and nice. They also serve breakfast. Their porch and garden is very unique. The room we got was huge and really homey at a very affordable price. I strongly recommend this place for travellers both locals and foreigners. You'll also meet other travellers mostly at the kitchen 😆 The place is quite far from the main road but won't be a problem if you are into walking a kilometer or two.

Relaxed & peaceful hostel in busy Cebu City with great hosts and lots of opportunities for biking in the mountain/hinterland. And we enjoyed the cooking class very much. Lots of information available for trip planning in Cebu and the surrounding islands. Bike-Tours can be arranged. Homely atmosphere. Accommodation is basic with shared bathroom, outside shower is great after a long hot day. Can recommend to stay in the bamboo hut in the garden. In the evening it’s nice sitting in the veranda and sharing experiences with other guests.
