Very nice common area, restaurant and lots of karaoke

The lady at reception wasn't the nicest person

comfortable beds,. I stayed in Dormitory and the shared bathroom would use some improvement. Size of the room was a bit small for 4 people. Room was facing to the garden with restaurant and it can get a bit noisy. Good stay fornthe value

There were a lot of mosquitos getting into the room somehow.

Atmosphere was perfect. Quiet and relaxing

facilities and lack of furnitures

friendly and helpful staff. location.

Stayed in July 2023

no swimmable beach nearby. there is a grassy area with a sea wall. about 15 minutes away from whale shark experience (not a bad thing). Not enough staff to cook and bartend during our stay. laundry is priced per piece. consider going to a laundry mat. water cooler- it has the ability to cool the water. however, they constantly turn it off. I asked for it to be on in the morning to allow the water to be cool and fresh. In the evening, it was off again and the water was warm! twice in one day. At least, it’s offered to save from using single use plastic, but then why bother having one to cool it down??

Spacious room. AC worked well. Not too loud. Bathroom was a good size and a curtain separated the open shower from the toilet. Hot water worked well. ventilation is good. nice front porch to lounge on. setting is pretty spacious and there is a small above ground pool that was relatively clean. food available but we didn’t have it. they cleaned the room and offered fresh towels which is nice since it’s quite humid.

Really friendly and helpful stuff, nice garden and location :)

Something to keep in mind: The walls are super super thin and you can hear your neighbors conversation. I wasn't bothered by it all and everyone goes to sleep early and gets up early, but just something to keep in mind. It wouldn't stop me from recommending this place to others :)

A good place to be based for Oslob Whale Shark watching. The hotel staff organized the trip down there for us (about 15-30 min on a trike) We left at 530am to be there by 6am. There was already a line, but our hotel had tickets ready for us and we were on the first group of boats out to see the whale sharks on their first feeding. (that was by far the best perk- otherwise you could end up waiting in line for hours) It was located close to town which made it easy for us to walk to dinner at one of the 3 restaurants available in "town". The place has a little gazebo and a koi fish pond. It's a perfect place for a one night stay to do the whale sharks and then move on. They had hot water. Wifi was a bit spotty, so can't be relied upon to do real "remote work" but enough to look things up, message etc.

shower not guaranteed to be warm. toilet seat was loose, not well attached to the toilet itself. sometimes hard to find staff on site to ask for things/order food/drinks.

good location. good AC. main areas clean. cleaned room upon request. comfortable bed. quiet.

Stayed in January 2023

The room was quite old and beaten up, the AC was really noisy.

Very nice and helpful personnel, very nice and cozy yard with a gazebo and stuff. Clean. The price is reasonable.

Nothing really - there were a couple of mosquitos but this can’t be helped in the Philippines. Just make sure to bring some insect repellent with you :-)

Central location and super friendly staff. They organised our boat to Bohol for us which was really helpful. They also waited up for us when we arrived late which was so kind and much appreciated. Air-con and the shower work well, and the outside seating area and garden is lovely. It is good value for money!

The drain from the shower was a little clogged. But the water pressure from the shower was okay.

We arrived late and Kuya still opened up for us. It was a tiring day for us and I really appreciate that. There was a nice garden outside, too bad we were not able to stay longer.

We had a lovely room. Had a great stay at this place. The lady from reception Ms Melissa (sorry I forgot her name) is extremely kind and helpful. I love that she is approachable. We stayed for two nights when initially we planned to only stay one night 😅

Stayed in February 2024

Staff seemed ignorant and not happy to accommodate us. Couldn’t tell if she spoke English at first. Couldn’t find our booking. In the upgraded room maggots started crawling out of the AC onto the bed. Staff apologised and changed our rooms and next one was fine except the rooms didn’t lock. Asked to book a ferry to Bohol and she was not very helpful. She told us she could let us know in the morning whether it would be the 09:30 or 15:00 so we booked online for the same price instead. When trying to check out at 08:30 no staff were at reception so we called her phone and got hung up on. She did not seem happy that we had woken her up.

We got upgraded to a 2 x double bed room Good location for the pier (quartel beach) Nice eating area and water filling station good prices for food but did not eat any.

I didn't like that I only have so little time to stay in this little piece of heaven. I will definitely come back to stay longer.

The room was clean and tidy. When we arrived, the room smelled like the rooms in some expensive resorts here in the Philippines. The lady in the reception, Jona, was so kind to help us with our inquiries with the tours. She even helped us book for the whaleshark activity the next day and the tuktuk that took us there. The tuktuk driver, Kuya Pael, guided us on the whaleshark registration process. He also guided us to the boat going to Sumilon island sandbar. The island was great. The sand was sugary white and the corals and fishes were just fantastic! They have a restaurant inside Oslob New Village and the food was like the best! I've been to some restaurants while in Manila but this one, it's to die for! And their prices are reasonably perfect! One thing that I also liked about this place was the staff. They really get out of their way to help you in every way possible. The place is so relaxing and quiet, I would love to stay longer like for a month. Too bad I had to fly back home. Well, at least next time, I already know where to stay when I'm in Cebu. Oslob New Village it is!!!

Just maybe the light in the bathroom was sometimes jumping but nothing was bothering us.

Everything ! What a wonderful place. It's a beautiful lodge with a nice chilling area. The personnel were adorable and will help you with everything (ask to book for the whale shark tour with them. It's wonderful and they are really helpful) The bedroom was clean (we even had a free upgrade) The beds were comfortable. The food at the restaurant was good. There are not too many mosquitoes. And what a nice feeling to arrive in a place with a nice deco for Halloween!! (They also decorate for Christmas and other Christian fest) What more to say? We really appreciate our stay there and the location is also more than agreeable (and the people in Oslob are just wonderful)

amazing find. amazing staff who helped us visit the whale sharks for a small fee, sorting tickets and looking after bags whilst we swam with the sharks. very good place would 100% recommend for whale sharks (much cheaper than a tour from Moalboal)
