We had the best stay here! This small quiet hostel is in the perfect location if you have come to Oslob to see the whale sharks. It's right opposite the entrance to the walk in tickets but also if you want to explore it's an easy 15 mins motorcycle or TukTuk ride into Oslob town. We found Oslob so charming and authentic, all the people are so welcoming and friendly. Ken who is the main host at Way Shack is brilliant. He made our 2 nights stay in Oslob so relaxing and helped us with everything. He has good English so easy to communicate with and is very professional and personable. The room is basic but clean and comfortable with a large space for luggage.

It was the owner who made my trip to Oslob memorable. It was Ms Zeny. She’s like a mother to all of us. She made everything was easy from the whale shark tour to getting a bike for rent to where we could eat and going to ferry to Panglao or bus going to Moalboal. She made sure that we would be the first batch to see the whale shark. And it was. The amount of the tour was just 600 and it was all worth it. Cause she will make sure that you will wake up at 3AM in the morning to be the first on the line for the Whale Shark Tour. The location was just like less than a minute to be on the registration area of Whale Shark Tour. So you just have to get your seats first. Then you can ask her staff if you could back to brush your teeth. Do number two. Or you forgot something. Her staff would reserve the seat for you. It’s like really living in an island where you go back to simple life. But INTERNET was fast. Don’t expect for something colorful like any other hostels are offering where you can post on your socials. I think the place is like home away from home in an island style. And also. The value for money is something. The hostel is very cheap specially for those people who are doing backpacking and saving money. I would highly recommend this place as I am not really a hostel guy. I am more of a luxury hotels. But it was the convenience and hospitality of the owner that made me loved this hostel.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The location was prefect for the whale shark watching. The staff were very hospitable and kind. The breakfast was perfect and tasty. Our guide Dexter and his team made us feel safe and we one. He looked after everything for us, from lunch to the whale tour and getting us on our way the next day. our stay was a wonderful experience.

    Late check inn was no problem, comfortable room, very helpful and friendly staff. Nothing was a problem. Relaxing atmosphere and the property is on the edge of the sea. Magic little place for a budget conscious traveller. All night staff member and gates are shut at night, making it a secure and safe place to stay. I would have liked to stay longer 😁
