Shore Time Dormitel

My stay at Shore Time Dormitel was a really great experience in every way. The bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were clean, there was a fun party vibe, and the staff always had a smile on their faces. The free shuttle service was also a nice bonus. Overall, it was an excellent stay!

This place is always SO LOUD. No one is at their resto but it’s always SO LOUD.
When you ask them to lower the volume all they say is “this is the normal volume, it’s still early”
So if you stay here, expect LOUD MUSIC from 6PM-10:30PM. Horrible experience.

One of my go to places everytime I go Boracay. There's shortcut from here going to white sand beach, their room is clean, spacious and affordable. This dormitel wont dissapoint.

Very affordable and recommendable dormitel. From service to accomodation, everything was perfect. Location was far from the center of the island but it was not a problem because they offer a free shuttle. Also the transportation was accessible too and it's near in cagban port. I just want to commend the front officers, very accommodating. Kudos to all the team👍 Definitely I'll be back. Thank you shore time ❤️

Very clean. Nice big bathrooms. Spacious enough except for the rooms. Nice staff but very hotel vibe not hostel vibe.
Live music at night which is nice. Close to the quiet part of the beach. Fast internet.
Good place just not much personality. Cheap, quiet. Clean.

The front-desk and staff who assist me during my check-in at night were not friendly. Good thing in the morning she wasn’t the one on the front-desk.
I wasn’t able to take any photo due to my dismay.

My students stayed here while attending Paradise English. The location is easily accessible from a main road, it has a courtyard with live music almost every night, and a small stand that can make a lot of delicious foods and drinks. The staff is excellent and professional. The dorm rooms we stayed in were small and crowded with 8 people to a room, but as long as you are okay with your roommates, it is economical, clean, and fairly good location. Most drivers know where it is. There are two kinds of dorms, the more private ones with their own showers and toilets, and the ones we stayed in, which have 4 shared showers for boys and 4 for girls, but only one each has a water heater connected. The water heater works but is very counter-intuitive to use. Had to take off one star because of the narrowness of the rooms, and the lack of showers and toilets.

My 2nd time staying here. 1st time was on the 4th floor and now on the 2nd floor. I know it’s cheap, but they have the noisiest staffs. They kept on shouting, laughing and chitchatting loudly in the hallways. They don’t seem to remember that guests may be trying to sleep? Also went here while Boracay is using another port so not a lot of e-trikes passing by. E-trikes will easily charge you 200/one way. Food photo is from their food park.

4 stars for the room due to water interruption for 3 days. On our 4th day it was restored. Too bad we experienced this. Hoping in the future we can resolved this.
4 stars for location. Giving unsolicited feedback to please make the shuttle service evry hour. It's a 10-15mins tric away from the D'Mall Station 2.30-45mins walk away. Very far away since all are exhausted doing activities.

A budget friendly home stay in the island. It may be far away from the long beach, but they have a shuttle service. Also near the main road so you can ride a habal or e-trike anytime. It has a work space, dining, etc. Good for group travelers or even a solo traveler (you'll meet a lot of new people/backpackers)

Neat room. Dormitory type separate bathrooms and showers. They have live band during evening. Served cocktail drinks and finger foods.

Stayed here last January 2023 for almost a week when I decided to extend my stay in the island after attending a friend's wedding. Got confused at first with the Shore Time Hotel which is near the beachfront but eventually realized that the dormitel is located near the pier. They provide scheduled shuttle service from the dormitel to Andok's near D'mall so that is a big plus when you check in here. Rooms are clean and very affordable. I will definitely consider to stay here again on my next visit to Boracay.

Great value for money. Only caveat is it's far from White beach so you have to take a trike when going out or board their free shuttle. The HoHo bus stop is 12mins away by foot and it's a hilly walk.
As for the rooms, I got a 6 female dorm with own T&B. I was a solo traveler. Honestly, cleanliness of the bath and toilet will depend on your roommates so sometimes I would rather shower in the common baths. Those get cleaned daily. The private T&B will only get cleaned upon request. The beds don't have privacy curtains but they had ample storage with locks. They also have free Wi-Fi which was decent for chat and email. There were a lot of remote workers staying here so during the day, the common areas are packed. I opted to stay in the room or go to a cafe outside to work.
The staff are friendly. Downstairs, they have a restaurant. I ordered a serving of Sinigang and one nice thing they do is store the leftovers then reheat it for the next day. Which I totally appreciate as a solo traveler. It made me feel more at home. Bonus are photos of a cute cat.

If you're planning a long term stay that is within the budget, this is the place to stay. Tho a lil bit far from the white beach but its alright. You'll get to immerse yourself locally. They have a co-working space good for digital nomads.

Acoustic singer at night was horrible. He got a nice voice but he keeps on ruining it by trying to reach notes he can't reach. If you value peace and quiet, you should NOT get this accommodation.
The staff was never rude but you can feel that they couldn't care any less.
The accommodation, however, is very clean, tidy, and well-maintained. For the price point, this is EXCELLENT and a GREAT VALUE for the money.
A bit too far from the beach but I already expect that. It is the loud singing in their downstairs restaurant that made me really annoyed. The singing starts at 8 PM and ends at 11 PM. I just hope that the this accommodation made it clear that the noise is very audible in the rooms. Mind you, I am wearing noise cancelling headsets already.

Approachable front desk officers and security guard, accessible, sumptuous food and beach front.

My husband and I really love our stay in Shore Time Hotel. The staff were very accomodating and nice. Our requests were all granted which exceeded our expectations. And the food has big servings and very yummy and tasty (Obama Grill). Well recommended. We'll be back for sure. Thank you and keep it up.
