About

Located in the center of pristine and lush beauty of Anilao Mabini, Batangas, our hostel offers a unique and unforgettable experience for adventure seekers, nature enthusiasts, and travelers looking places with sustainability practices. Rustique Rue serves as an ideal destination for connecting with like-minded individuals – whether they are fellow divers or travelers eager to embrace fresh encounters and explore the world alongside others, all in pursuit of people, adventure, and new discoveries.

Immerse yourself in a relaxed and casual ambiance within our local bamboo huts, locally known as 'kubo'. Engage in vibrant conversations with fellow travelers while making yourself comfortable in our kubo. Delight in an atmosphere where we promote respect and equality through social interaction surrounded by music, art, local food, and refreshing beverages.

On the other hand, this hostel serves as a dive shack for new divers wanting to learn freediving or scuba diving and also a favorite place for repeat divers wanting to explore the marine sanctuary in our house reef or to simply dive and relax.

Whether you'd want to relax, explore or connect, definitely our hostel is the place to be when in Anilao Mabini!

Okay for one night's stay. The rooms are basic bed, no ACs, only fan room. It wasn't hot though because rooms are made with local materials (bamboo, etc.) and not concrete. Location is great too, it's safe and cozy there. The hostel attendants were kind enough to wait foe me because I checked in late (for an additional fee).

I loved this hostel! Only 3 minutes to the beach and the food is incredible! Bit of a mission from the Port but I loved it!
