Set in the Diniwid area in the region of Boracay, Chillax Boracay is located just 188 metres from Diniwid Beach. Chillax Boracay features free WiFi throughout the property.

The rooms are made using upcycled shipping containers. All units include a terrace or balcony where you can relax. Every room is fitted with a private bathroom.

The price was the lowest for the 3 nights I booked, but then the price went up on booking so I went to chill out hostel and it's way more of a real hostel with a lot of people. I'll still give it 9/10 for the lowest price to start. If chillax would have kept the price the same I would have stayed there the whole trip. Anyway, this place seems like it's an abandoned building, but once I found someone to check me in I got into the nice ac dorm room and was pleased with the bed and the comfy pillow.

    Really helpful staff. The food in the bar area is really good and cheaper than most other places (and drinks too). The hostel offers transfers to and from the airport. There is bike rental available. There is a different activity every night too. All in all we had a great time here.

    Honestly, the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The facilities are amazing, you could just stay in the hostel for a week. The staff are super friendly and spend time chatting to you, especially William! The beds are huge and comfy and 2 pillows!!! Food is lovely, only downfall is the smoothie bowls are watery but that is my only complaint. They have a WhatsApp group with activities every night including movie night. Can’t wait to come back

    All staff were fantastic - owner was very interested in getting to know the guests and always making sure they had a good time, which made you feel instantly welcome. Hostel bar was cheap and chilled, food was great and reasonably priced for the island. Beds were comfy and had everything you need to have a comfortable stay in a dorm. One of best hostels I’ve stayed in.

    The best hostel in boracay Island, I only spent 1 night there, i wish i could stay more! The staff was very friendly and helpful, There are only 4 beds in a doorm and a private shower and bathroom for every room. All the facilities and the rooms were very clean and high maintenance. As a solo female traveler, i felt very safe. The coffee shop in the hostel has the best food and coffee. Definitely will stay there again. Highly recommended!

    Such a homely hostel! Only intended on staying a few days and ended up extending to 2.5 weeks - very hard to leave! All the staff are excellent and super friendly. They even texted to check that I was safe when I told them I was meeting a guy I didn't know - I felt very looked after :) The rooms are comfy, plenty of space, a chilled bar and restaurant, great for meeting people. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Boracay!
