Full of sweaty and smelly backpackers, lol just kidding. Hostels in Siargao are mostly for short-term travelers on a surf/party vacation looking to get to know new people and spend time together. This is a great way to live cheaply (Some dorm rooms are less than $5/night) but can be challenging if you need to work during the day and maintain a good sleep.
