Dayon Hostel

Dayon is one of the best hostel in coron. I’d like to give feedback about the staff: 1 . John : one of the best and kind hearted I met in coron. He has helped with details and guided how to check weather conditions in Philippines.. 2. Reception staff: as promised, booked a van for airport drop Picked on time and dropped as per schedule. Thanks to dayon whole team out there at the hostel 😊 Rooms: good and value for money Bar prices: prices are reasonable

Rooms were clean with good sizes lockers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food service was good apart from on the last day, we needed to be at Coron port for 8am and we ordered breakfast at 7 (the earliest time you're able to) and it didn't come until 0750 which made us late. Bathrooms were generally clean but there was one day it seemed that one of the showers and one of the toilets hadn't been cleaned for a whole day. Rooftop bar was nice. Location was decent. Also I had the Spanish latte which was really good, very smooth.

The WiFi doesn't work at all in the dorms or private rooms. The dorms were OK, comfortable bed but very small and cramped, also no natural light and smelt damp. We then had a private room for the last night which was okay, again smelt strong of damp, the floor is filthy. Someone using a hair dryer directly outside our room at 6am wasn't appreciated. Again absolutely no WiFi signal. Also the water coming out of the bathroom tap in private room was brown. Wouldn't recommend to be honest, although the staff are friendly.

For our Coron trip, we decided to go budget-friendly with our accommodation, especially since we were staying for 9 days! I really took my time researching and comparing different options online and I’m so happy we ended up booking Dayon Hostel! 1️⃣ The Price – An Absolute Steal! We paid only around ₱7,000+ for 9 days, that’s just about ₱700+ per night for a private room with a bunk bed! For that price, this place is honestly a gem. 2️⃣ The Room - Private Bunk Bed (Room 8) Yes, I read some reviews saying that the private room looked like a prison or didn’t match the photos on Agoda (apparently, the photos were outdated). But in our experience: - The room was clean and decent - It had sockets, a desk and chair (great for working or getting ready) - Wifi worked perfectly! I even worked remotely during our stay - It felt like a safe and quiet space and I slept well every night - AC also worked perfectlyyy There were a few noisy guests in the hallway on some nights, and some housekeeping staff were singing while cleaning (which honestly made the place feel lively, not annoying!). 3️⃣ Showers & Restrooms Some reviews mentioned dirty shared bathrooms, but I saw staff cleaning them regularly and during our stay, everything was tidy. - Water pressure and heater were both okay - Showers were shared, but we had no issues with cleanliness 4️⃣ My Favorite Spot – Rooftop! We always ended our day chilling at the rooftop, reading my book, bringing snacks or just relaxing after exploringgg. Such a cozy, laid-back vibe! 🥹 They have board games and a bar. I tried their matcha! Creamy and more on the milky side, but I liked it! 5️⃣ The Staff – Super Friendly! Special shoutout to Kuya Chris/Kris! He really went above and beyond: One night, we brought back ihaw-ihaw from outside to eat at the rooftop. He offered us plates so we could eat comfortably! Another time, we were heading out and I said it was too hot. He overheard and quickly offered us an umbrella to borrow, so thoughtful! Overall: Highly Recommended! 💯 If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, clean and decent place in Coron, Dayon Hostel is a solid choice. It might not be luxurious, but it has everything you need and the friendly vibe makes it feel like home.

Staff at the bar is helpfull.They offer free coffee and you can order food from the outside.Rooms are huge and its really good for Barkadas/Familly stacation.We stayed here for 6nights and they gave us discounts (were 6). Breakfast is very good Beds are comfy Ac is working well Huge locker with hangers And better if you have a room at the rooftop which is close to the bar and there lounge. Its just water heater inside the bath is not working.During arrival the front office seems lazy (not even standing while she is talking) i mean not really proper welcoming -only ask for ids and sign some papers not even smillling and end up to house keeper who lead to us in our room and hes the one who explain everything.But day by day she seems okay already,maybe that time shes just having a bad day.(PS-not complaining) Overall stay was great🙏😍 Salamat Dayon!

Great location. They don't provide towels for free, so if you need them you can rent it for 50 pesos. You can also book a tour or ferry through the front desk and it's super convenient. The room is nice. It has an air conditioner and a fan. The bed was big with a clean linen. If you book a 12 person room you will have a shower in a room, but the water pressure there is weak. But you can go to the 2nd floor bathroom.

Overall, my stay at Dayon Hostel was okay, but there’s room for improvement. The facade and lobby are aesthetically pleasing, and the front desk staff was accommodating. However, I was assigned an upper bunk bed even though a lower bunk was vacant. I’m not sure if guests can reserve specific spots, but the person who later occupied that bed arrived almost five hours after me. One issue I noticed was the awkward gap between the bed and the wall beside it, which makes it easy for items to fall onto the bunk below. As for the common bathroom, it’s basic and aligns with the price point. However, some stalls had issues with the heater—it was difficult to turn off—so I preferred using the last stall, which was already off. The highlight for me was the roof deck, where they offer free coffee and serve meals. It’s a nice spot to relax and unwind.

I went on a 13-day trip around Palawan and Coron was my first stop from Cebu. In Coron, I stayed in Dayon Hostel. I was alone for the duration of my three-night stay in the six-bed female dorm. You can choose to lock the door at night for security. I made sure that I turned off the AC every time I went out. The restrooms are clean especially the toilets although the shower rooms need to be upgraded as some showerheads do not function that well. It will also be nice if they do a thorough cleaning of the shower rooms and the sinks as they looked dirty and unkempt. There is a restaurant on the rooftop but the options are limited. If you exit through the back, it leads you the main road where you will find a wonderful cafe that serves good sausage meals. There are also several local options available if you want affordable options. The price I paid was worth the quality of the stay. The hostel is known by tour operators and guides and so it was not a challenge when it was time for pick-up and drop off. I loved the staff especially when I had to leave early in the morning to head to the port for my trip to El Nido. They arranged my transportation and made sure that I left the hostel on time. Will I go back? Maybe not and it's not because I don't like it. It's just that I felt that my next stay should be in a private room for another worthwhile experience in Coron. But for those solo travelers on a budget, Dayon Hostel is your best bet in Coron in as far as affordable sleeping option is concerned.
