    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in during my trip! Great facilities, showers, lovely staff and great rooms. Love the out doors kitchen and roof top chill area. Not too crowded which I loved. Great service with the shuttles as well 🤞🏼. Recommended!

    One staff member tried to convince me I needed a private car although I later found out it was easy to get the bus. Tours through the hostel were more expensive than those we found on offer in the town.

    Well priced breakfast, lots of fruit available. Very quick to order and receive the food. Hostel was incredibly clean. Shuttle service was very convenient. Staff were very helpful when I asked how to get the bus back to Cebu City. Dorms were well air-conditioned and although small were still very private and comfy. Bedside locker was massive and fit all my things although my bag went in the big locker outside. Very quiet and relaxing.

    Lots to do in the town so no one really stayed in the common areas unfortunately. Their sister dive center was just ok. Nothing special.

    One of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in! Seems to be brand new. Staff were great and could arrange everything for you including transportation and excursions. About 15-20 min walk from sardine area, or you can take their free shuttle.

    It was not a social hostel at all. It would be nice if there were events or other things to encourage guests to socialize, since it was pretty lonely as a solo traveler here. Also, as mentioned, the 6 bed dorm was pretty cramped. There wasn’t anywhere in the room to put bags, so they had to be kept in lockers outside.

    The staff were amazing! Jeleen and Carl were so kind and helpful throughout the whole stay. The property was clean and comfortable, with a nice shared kitchen and good water pressure in the showers. The room was pretty cramped, but had strong AC and there was lots of open space to chill outside. The beds had lots of space and good privacy curtains.

    Everything was incredible. Though we aren’t usually the biggest hostel people this place was so highly rated and affordable for the area that we went for it and i’m so glad we did. There were so many great perks like the free shuttle every hour to the beach, the amazing restobar with amazing breakfast and dinner and the complimentary beach towels and water. The beds were soooo comfy and soft. Above all the best part was the amazing staff who went above and beyond to make sure their guests are having a good time, You can easily message the hostel on Whatsapp for any questions and they are super quick to respond and always with a smile. Thank you so so much!

    The distance to the main town was about a 15/20 minute walk. This wasn’t an issue for us but might be for others. The regular shuttle into the town was great though. This stops at 7pm

    Staff were very attentive. Constantly cleaning all the different areas including toilets and showers which were spotless. The shuttle down to the beach and the bus stations were great. They helped arrange the tours and were all round great.

    The staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. They were so friendly and organised with the shuttle service etc. they had breakfast ready to take away on the days we had to leave early. Beach towels are free and can be changed daily which was a nice touch. Shuttle service is excellent and really helpful. We booked the canyoneering though them and had the most amazing time with the best guides. Can’t fault anything, would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

    The staff assigned a family of 5 to share a 6-bed dorm with me which included small children. They were incredibly noisy and kept me up late every night during the length of their stay. I would suggest practicing more mindfulness when assigning underage children to shared spaces. Not a huge deal and I would still recommend this hostel.

    The Hostel Nicely designed hostel with a great layout. Rooftop seating and restaurant are quite nice. Dorm rooms are small, but functional. Large lockers outside the room with a small built-in locker inside your bunk for added storage (lock and key provided). Everything is nearly new, clean and in good condition. Air conditioner works well and showers provided strong water pressure and warm water. The Stay The beds were very comfortable and the hostel is relatively quiet. Location is good and about a 10-minute walk from the beach, bars, restaurants and diving/snorkeling activities. French bakery across the street is excellent. You also have the option to book tour packages directly through the hostel. They have a few dogs on the grounds that are friendly and harmless. The Service The staff is very kind and helpful. They were always available to provide support and facilitate transfers and tours as needed. They even provide a free shuttle to the town centre multiple times a day (schedule is posted at the main entrance).

    It is a bit far from the beach, maybe a 15-20 minute walk. I personally don't mind the walk, and they have a free shuttle that leaves often to take you to the beach and back. It's also not a party hostel and was a bit quiet in the social aspect, but I was still able to make a couple friends with the people in my room. Also, the shared room I was staying in was quite small, but I didn't find this to be an issue. Our bags were kept outside in a locker, which was actually nicer because you wouldn't wake people up to get anything.

    Like other reviewers mentioned, the place truly was so clean! The bathrooms actually smelled nice, if anything. A nice little bonus was the spin dryer and clothing lines, along with the two dogs roaming the property. The staff were always so friendly and nice. I got stung by jellyfish and went up to the front desk to ask them for help, and before I could even get a word out the woman at the front desk noticed the sting and immediately came to help me! The French bakery across the street and bagel shop right next door were also definite perks. Overall, it was a nice quiet place to stay!

    In one word, excellent!!! Very clean and well maintained facilities! The staff was very welcoming and helpful at all times! Breakfast was included in our room booking and it was well prepared and adequate (if not, there is a very good french café just opposite the hostel). Drinkable water was available. It is located a 15-min walk from bustling Moalboal center, which was much preferable in our case. The hostel has a free shuttle bus to/from center, but they can also arrange a tricycle to pick you up. The security guard and the monitoring of the common areas also made us feel safer. Thank you guys! ✨🙏🏼

    It is slightly further out than central Moalboal but the shuttle makes up for it and very cheap on tuk tuk.

    This property was responsive and helpful with any queries, very smoothly organised transfers from Cebu airport and two day trips. The room was was great, probably the best private room I’ve stayed in at any hostel in Asia. The bar and mini kitchen were also great.
