Really clean and spacious room. Reception is amazing at helping out with activities and anything you need during stay. The food there is amazing also!! Aircon worked really well- walking distance to lots of places and easy to get a bike around to other stops.

Home away from home in Moalboal

Excellent location, friendly staff, amazing breakfast (with additional price), enormous room size with comfy bed, balcony space to chill out and hang wet clothes, drinking water station in the room is the best part.

The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The staff helped us a lot in organising different activities and transportation. We were very time constrained, and they immediately understood our needs. Highly recommended

Amazing stay

Our private room was stunning, even better than the photos. Very clean and stylish, we loved the balcony, and the amenities in the room were perfect. Lovely staff and a great restaurant- we can’t fault the place! We would love to stay again. We had a very bad experience booking a taxi through the hostel, as we felt unsafe with the way the driver was driving - we did report this to the hostel as we don’t want others to have the same experience we did and they were very cooperative! Just something for fellow travellers to be mindful of

Cute hostel

The hostel was super cute, the staff was very nice and called me by name from the first day, the location is perfect, just in the busy area of Moalboal and near the beach, which is great for snorkeling and sardines running. Their restaurant is also nice, with good breakfast choices, and they organize tours like the canyoneering at the Kalawasan Waterfalls which I totally recommended! I loved how the bathrooms where organized, they were never full and they cleaned them quite often.

Great location and social hostel

Great location for joining canyoning tours and the sardine run. Hostel sold good food and drinks and had activities some nights. The room was really large and nice and the showers and toilets were clean and functional. Staff were very helpful and i appreciated the filtered water provided.

Perfect, cosy and lovely!

Everything was perfect ! We had a beautiful private bedroom with balcony on the first floor and we loved it here. The vibes are very friendly, the cafe has great food and drinks and the room was great. Really clean, lovely decoration and nice bathroom. Great location, only a few steps from the water with the sardines run and conveniently on the main road with all the shops and restaurants. We also liked that there was a water fountain in the joinery to refill our bottles from the bedroom. The hostel staff is great and they can facilitate drivers anywhere around Cebu island.
