The Hat Trick Hostel

Staff, location, facilities were all exceptional. Advice on tours was really helpful and always someone at the desk if needed. 24/7 Coffee/tea was an added bonus. Really clean and best location for cafes, restaurants and the Sardine Run.

A bit pricey in comparison to others. But rooftop sunset and great facilities, location and cleanliness was worth it

The staff were really friendly, the pool was lovely and rooms clean and fresh.

The room was really light even with curtains pulled. Could do with some new darker curtains and a blind on the window above sink.

This is actually the best hostel I have ever stayed in, and I have travelled to many places. The staff is wonderful and they really made you feel welcomed. Comfy beds, good Wi-Fi, free water, coffe and tea. The pool is amazing and the design of the building is remarkable. The attention to detail is astonishing. Thank you for everything! /Josie <3

Maybe there could be a few more bean bags by the pool :D

We loved our stay here. We had a private room with an ensuite. It was simple, attractive, convenient and comfortable! Lots of good advice from the owners and lovely friendly staff who made us feel welcome.

All good!

The bathroom is accessible through the bedroom and is also airconditioned!

Not very social.

New hostel opened in late 2024, run by a Filipino and his British wife. Pool gives a nice vibe and it was social when I visited. It was easy to make friends here. Not a party Hostel, but so everyone was up for a chat or going out for dinner etc. Comfy beds. New AC units! The rooftop terrace will be great once finished (maybe in mid 2025?)

The staff is not really interested in the guests to give them a good experience - I miss a warmth and care about the wellbeing of the guests that I experienced in other hostels. This said, the owner and his wife is very caring and helpful! So as long they are around it's good. The taxi booked with the hostel was a old and not comfortable. The lady at the reception just ignored additional requests, pointing to a picture of a taxi on the wall. No shampoo in the room, but there is downstairs.

Perfect location just off the main strip and amazing pool/bar. Room was very clean.

Nothing

- the pool and pool bar - good AC - location close to the center of Moalboal - drinking water unit next to the room - friendly staff at reception - happy hour on drinks

- nothing to put any stuff on or in in the private room - no curtain in one window and a bad curtain in the other, hence a lot of light in the room early in the morning - shower and toilet in one, so hard to not make the entire room wet - attitude of the bartender at the pool. He really showed he didn’t like his job. I believe it’s better to replace him. - driver arranged by the hostel didn’t show up upon arrival at Cebu island - the canyoneering tour was 2.200 pesos in the hostel, while we bought the exact same for 1.800 pesos in the village - noise from the construction next door and a pack of barking dogs - top public/communal floor was still not ready, while I expected it be ready by now. - narrow double bed for 2 people
