Papabo Backpackers Mactan

We are a social backpacker hostel with 72 beds, built around community, connection, and a relaxed atmosphere.
At Papabo, we offer more than just a place to stay. We have our own restaurant, sports bar, and café, where we serve both local and international food — creating a space where guests can eat, drink, and spend time together.
We take a lot of pride in the experience we create, and it shows in our reviews.
We consistently receive very strong feedback from our guests, who often highlight our atmosphere, friendly staff, and the social vibe. Many say it’s easy to meet people here and feel at home quickly.
For us, Papabo is not about luxury — it’s about people, good energy, and creating a place where travelers connect.
