I stayed at JDL for two nights and it is highly recommended. Summer is a gracious host. Here are a few things you should know: 📍This place is top notch clean. Literally OCD standard. 📍Check In - 1.00 PM, Check Out - 11.00AM 📍Bunk bed comes with a towel, a blanket, a locker (along with dedicated key), hot/cold water filter. 📍Wi-fi is strong and covers the entire floor. 📍Within 2KM radius there is SM Mall, Bus Stand and more than 18 restaurants. 📍Within 2 minutes walking distance there is an asian restaurant, laundry shop and a grocery store. 📍Bonus: Rooftop gets a volcano view if the sky and weather is clear.

In March 2023, my aspiration of travelling to the Bicol region to see the grandeur of Mount Mayon was actualized. There were a number of hotel/hostel options to choose from when I was browsing a few websites; but the moment I saw JDL Residences Hostel, I immediately dropped all other options in mind. First, the picture of the facade attracted my attention; and when I reached the property, I wasn't disappointed. It has well-painted wide gates, a spacious front parking area, and a quiet and decent neighbourhood. Indeed, it is a very good place within a subdivision. The owners and their staff are truly good-hearted. On a scale of 1-10, the cleanliness of the whole hostel scores the highest, i.e.10. For the politeness of their hardworking staff, 10 as well; and for the facilities and overall comfort that I had experienced, I would give a score of 8.5 as it was just because the air-conditioning system was not in a state of readiness to operate. Standing electric fans are available, though. It is a score of 10 for value for money. Although the room allotted for my 7 nights/8 days of stay has 3 bunk beds for 6 pax, I was the only one who occupied it all throughout the week. However, I would have been happier if I had companions. All in all, I had a mega amazing stay in JDL Residences Hostel. Lastly, but the most wonderful blessing I had was having viewed from their rooftop _ the Mayon Volcano with its perfect cone and symmetry. To Ms. Summershine and family, to the staff Jerome and Jomar, THANK YOU very much for my enjoyable stay in your property. I pray and faithfully declare and claim for YOUR HOSTEL _ more guests, more blessings, and double portions of rewards from God.

The air-conditioning system was not in a state of readiness to operate.

Great location, great facilities and amazing hosts! This was our first stay in the Philippines and we are so glad it was! The hosts are very welcoming and will provide you with the best recommendations of places to check out during your visit! we loved it so much we extended a few more nights and there’s lots to explore in Legazpi! Also an incredible view of Mt Mayon right from the roof terrace! Thank you so much for our stay, would definitely recommend and stay would stay again!

Summer is the most amazing host that I ever met during my trip in Philipiness. She's so helpful and kind, she gave me a lot of suggestions of restaurants, places to visit and helped with the taxi at 4h30 am. The hostel is clean and nice, very well located less than 10 min walking to SM city - main bus terminal. You can see Mayon volcano from the rooftop.

For solo backpackers, it's missing a common chill area.

1. Has great view of Mt. Mayon in the rooftop 2. Room and restrooms were clean; same with the blanket and towel provided. 3. Never had a problem with water pressure in the shower area 4. Staff were accommodating and friendly.

Not a dislike but more of a suggestion, more food options (rice meals specifically) and fan rooms should have a window for good ventilation.

The host is very accommodating, hospitable and approachable. The facilities, room, bed linens and towels are crisp and clean. The building/hostel itself is away from the city noise. We had a good night rest during our stay. The location is in the heart of the city, very near to banks, restaurants, a few km away from the Cagsawa Ruins and some tourist spots in the area.

The hosts were very accommodating, approachable, and courteous. The rooms are clean and the air-conditioning was very good. You can sleep soundly. The shower area was exceptionally clean. Shower gels and hand soap were provided as well. The trash bins were also replaced every day. There is a water dispenser where you can drink water and a refrigerator where you can store your leftover food. The roof-deck view was one of a kind. You can have a very good view of Mayon Volcano when the weather is good.

None. Everything about the property is likeable.

the rest rooms are clean. could improve each shower room by adding hooks for bags since this is a dorm type hostel. the roof top also has a great view of the volcano and it's fun to stay there early in the morning and in the evening

it's a little pricey with hidden fees.

I had a lovely stay in this hostel. Staff is friendly and the owner Sunshine, you can whats app her when you need information or help. The rooms and bathrooms are clean. The view on the rooftop is amazing:)

You need a tricycle or your own to get somewhere. But I think thats with every Hostel in Legazpi.

Very clean and the owner was super friendly and helpful. In general a very good Hostel with a great view! Super clean and rooms were tidy!

The 2 guys working there were not very welcoming and a bit unfriendly on the arrival. But it changed a bit during my stay.
