    Great location. Small bur cozy hostel, clean bathrooms and showers. We met Jess the owner who was so charming and shared lots of tips and things to do. We had the double private bedroom (Cebú room) with shared bathroom which was ok. Location is fantastic, close to all the restaurants and shops. It is only a 5min walk to the beach!

    There were no hooks in the bathrooms so hopefully that could be added in the future. One of the bathrooms has stagnant water on the floor after someone showers. Quite a small common area although there's a countertop and high chairs which you could use for working. Nothing major, but just thought I'd point them out as rooms for improvement. A fridge would also be a nice addition.

    The air-conditioning in the dorm room was extravagant and I liked how the beds looked very traditional. Their lockers were convenient because it had three levels: the topmost one you could use to put your essentials such as toiletries which you'll be using all throughout your stay, the second one is where you could lock away your valuables, and the one at the bottom is where you could stash your luggage. Water is provided for free and there's a heater. Lots of scooter rentals nearby and next to the hostel is a small restaurant serving cheap food. I mostly ate there with my daily dose of instant pancit canton. Lastly, the owner, Jess, was very easy to talk to and considerate. When I told her that I needed to leave earlier than my scheduled departure because I needed to take care of something in the city, she refunded me two nights in a heartbeat and it could have even been three if someone booked my bed for the night I left.

    Staff was very nice but sometimes hard to find around.

    Everything was perfect. Nice dorm, nice working aircon, nice and clean bathroom, towel included. They also provide some tours. The location is on the main touristic street, 10min away from the sardine run spot. You can also rent snorkel from them.

    The dorm is very close to the reception where the staff like to play karaoke through a speaker. They’re good singers and seem to stop around 9pm but when it’s been 3 hours and your next door to them it becomes abit much if your trying to relax and have some peace and quiet or an early night

    The hostel room was clean and the staff were friendly. The location is very close to bars and restaurant and a few minutes walk from the beach where the sardine run is. The hostel offers snorkel rent too. The room has AC and each bed had a locker and small shelf, plug socket and lamp which was a nice touch.

    Our room did not have a window which may get a bit depressing for longer stays. Also, the room door was quite thin so any conversations in the lobby in the evening or early mornings felt very loud in the room. During our stay in Moalboal there was a scheduled blackout due to maintenance and of course, the hostel could not do anything about it so we don't blame them but providing some small amenities like dispenser of fresh water to clean hands or a torch light for the room would be helpful.

    The hostel is in an excellent location in the touristy part of Moalboal. The location right on the main road may be disturbing for some but the proximity to restaurants and the beach was great for us. The hostel is very clean and its small size gives it a homey vibe. The staff was very helpful with arranging tours, answering any questions, and renting snorkels. The room had working AC, towels were provided and the a la carte breakfast was delicious.
