Frequently asked questions about hostels in Philippines
What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?
For budget travellers, exploring the stunning beaches of El Nido or Coron in Palawan offers incredible value. You can find affordable guesthouses and enjoy activities like island hopping and snorkelling without breaking the bank. Similarly, exploring the rice terraces of Banaue in Ifugao is a culturally rich and relatively inexpensive experience. Many hostels and homestays are available in these areas, making it easy to travel on a shoestring.
Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from the country?
Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in Manila handles the vast majority of international flights. Cebu-Mactan International Airport (CEB) in Cebu City is another major hub, serving many domestic and some international flights.
What are the best hostels with a pool in Philippines?
Showing respect for elders is paramount; use polite terms like 'po' and 'opo'. Dress modestly when visiting churches or religious sites. Remove your shoes before entering someone's home. Avoid public displays of affection. Learning a few basic Tagalog phrases will be appreciated.
What are the best hostels for families and kids in Philippines?
Which traditional festivals define the spirit of the country?
The Sinulog Festival in Cebu City, a vibrant celebration honouring the Santo Niño (Child Jesus), is a must-see. The Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City, known as the 'Season of Blooming', is a spectacular flower festival. MassKara Festival in Bacolod City showcases colourful masks and parades. These are just a few examples of the many unique and colourful festivals celebrated throughout the archipelago.
What are the best pet friendly hostels in Philippines?
What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns?
For medical emergencies, dial 911. For police assistance, dial 117. It is advisable to have the contact details of your embassy or consulate readily available.
What are the best hostels with parking in Philippines?
A week could be well spent exploring the stunning islands of Palawan (El Nido and Coron), or immersing oneself in the culture and history of Manila and surrounding areas like Tagaytay. Alternatively, you could focus on exploring the Visayas region, perhaps splitting your time between Cebu City and Bohol.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend?
For a weekend getaway, consider Tagaytay for its stunning views of Taal Volcano, or explore the beaches and nightlife of Boracay (although be aware of the crowds). Intramuros, the historic walled city of Manila, also offers a rich cultural experience that can easily fill a weekend.
Are there specific regions known for great weather?
The climate varies across the archipelago. Generally, the best weather is found during the dry season (November to May) but even then, it can vary greatly depending on the region. Areas in central and southern Luzon, and parts of the Visayas, often experience pleasant weather during this period. However, it's always best to check the specific forecast before travelling to any particular area.
