Cheap, especially considering the room. It's very spacious and it's not everyday that you see a backpacker's hostel room with a balcony (which is great for drying wet clothes)!!! I didn't appreciate all the "NO" signs though (No outside guests on bbq weekends, no outside food and drinks) - they probably could have phrased those ones better. Also, the toilet... More

I've stayed with Harold's two times and both times I am satisfied. It was referred to me by a traveler I met en route to Siquijor island. Although I only stay in Harold's just to sleep, shower and have never used their internet, joined the hostel's activities or availed their tour package. I still find the place safe and clean... More

I stayed at Harold's Mansion, a guesthouse, for a few days beginning of March 2012. I was travelling on my own and it was my first time in the Philippines. Harold, the owner has his way to make you feel like you belong to the place. The staff is really friendly and helpful! They organise BBQ on the roof every... More

Supposed to be a friendly place. Harold should have a word with his staff. Check in ; RUDE, breakfast lady RUDE...... Why has this place such good reviews when the don't even go out of their way to be nice and friendly. Not a good hostel !!!

Stayed at Harold's after being in the Philippines for a few weeks, so I was already acclimated to the living standards therefore I was very surprised at how fun and modern the place was, especially for the price!! I stayed in the dorms and I had a few concerns which the front desk staff took care of efficiently and politely.... More

During my stay in Dumaguete for 3nights, I stayed at this hotel only in my last night. I stayed at the double room. The room was neat and clean. And staffs are very friendly. We could take free water, tea, coffee, and internet was also free. And there are variety of activities !! During my stay in Dumaguete, I joined... More

Harold is a familiar hostel, where there is a good opportunity to make friends. Especially the theme nighs: Oister night and BBQ on the roof, set the mood for partying. The staff is sweet and helpful, but sometimes you have to ask twice and be patient. But thats just the Filipino way of life, I guess ? Harold, the owner,... More

I really enjoyed my stay at Harold's! It's very easy to take part in lots of activities locally, including diving, snorkelling, trekking and more, just by adding your name to a list at the front desk, and all of these activities are very reasonably priced. Harold himself is very friendly and hangs out with the guests, and I enjoyed meeting... More

Harold's is your one stop centre for everything to do/know in and around Dumaguete. The best divemasters (with local knowledge of the area), treks, social nights, best tips for places to eat, There's also a real sense of social responsibiltiy with the eco rooms and support of the local Public Market. My Husband and i have stayed at Harolds 4... More
