Guest Reviews

• Ryzza (9/5): -
• Darío (1/5): I wish I stayed in any other place - Location is ok. Worst place I have been so far in this country. They never reply to the messages. Since I entered from their door, the owner is trying to sell me different things, and I had to tell her please I just want to check-in and go to my room three times. Every time I passed by the door, more insistent, it felt like a scam. They are located in front of the sea, and I asked if I can rent fins to go snorkelling: the owner told me to go to another town to get it as a good deal, after asked her if she knows any other place nearby. I ended up renting it in the hotel next door. The breakfast was terrible, I asked if they had someting non-animal food, they said no, and they could not be less careless, they do not even have tea. I did not have the breakfast that was included in my reservation. The toilet is broken, so the floor is always wet, and they are located between the sea and the party restaurant, so good luck sleeping in the night. I usually not coment any bad if something happened in a place, but the actitude of the owner was so bad and out of place that I had to write it here.
• VASILEIOS (3/5): -
• Marco (2/5): Terrible, no running water and dirty room. - Nothing to like, it is simply a bed to sleep. Visited on 1st May 2026. A Place to avoid: 1. All 4th floor was without running water. We called the girls at the reception who simply came to check and told us that there was low pressure. No solution, no follow up, no help. After a long day we could not even take a shower. 2. The shower was filthy, with a bunch of hair on the floor, probably from the previous stay. 3. We asked for info about the whale shark activity, barely any information was provided. Price of the room is convenient, but having running water should the bare minimum. We stayed because it was already late at night and we had no time, otherwise we would have moved immediately.

• dc083d38dbd7733358485f6a11820da1 (8/5): Will I return ? . . . YES. - Location was great. Great price. Early check-in fee.
• Crystal (4/5): I would not choose to stay there again it is not close to the main attractions - I could see the ocean It was not very clean they were ants. There was not enough soap. It felt dirty.
• Manuel (7/5): -
• Andreas (8/5): Als Ausgangspunkt empfehlenswert - Die Lage war perfekt, für uns. Als Ausgangspunkt für das Walhai Erlebnis. Das Hotel hat uns den perfekten Guide vermittelt und dieser Service war hervorragend. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hat sofort reagiert. Unser Zimmer, zugegeben die günstige Kategorie gebucht, war sehr klein und ein unangenehmer Geruch kam aus dem Bad. Klima sehr alt und extrem laut. Ohne, kann man aber gar nicht schlafen. Das Frühstück, hat den Namen nicht verdient, hat aber auch nichts extra gekostet. Wir waren dann in einem Café in der Nachbarschaft. 2 Personen 5€ mit Kaffee und Gebäck.
• suhee0523 (8/5): -
• Martin (4/5): Would not book again - A/C not strong enough and really loud, poor water pressure and water temperature either too hot or too cold, room in the 4th floor, no elevator, the beach is dirty and smelly, no way of swimming there no good restaurants in the whole town of Oslob, nothing to do there

• Kristina (5/5): Очень Маленькие номера, душ-струйка воды, вид на море-вид на крыши. - Близость к морю, красивый вид из окна если не опускать голову и близко к нему не подходить😅 в целом там вид на крыши. Все. Он очень маленький, в номере от кровати до стены по 60 см сбоку и примерно 1-1,5 м у ног. Напор воды-струйка из лейки. Помимо этого бойлер отрубился и вода была либо кипяток, либо холодная. Помыть голову мне не удалось. Имейте ввиду что номера без вида на море без окон. Мы офигели когда узнали. Меняли по итогу. Персонал к вам заходит в обуви и оставляет грязь после себя) нет лифта, на 4 этаж пешком. Мы бегали раз 10, потому что вода не работала.
• Marlisar (5/5): - The location is nice, right on the water. However, next time we would probably book closer to the whale shark area, as there isn’t much around nearby. The rooms appeared clean overall. The bathrooms were average, with low shower pressure, and there was no bedside lamp in the bedroom. We didn’t try the breakfast during our stay. The accommodation was affordable, which allowed us to book separate rooms for our two kids (15 and 18), which worked well for our family. It is 2 star accommodation- Get what you may for. It would of been really good if there was a restaurant or bar. As the view is just amazing. Would bring more people in.

• Evgenii (10/5): - Хороший небольшой отель, практически в центре города, замечательный персонал, помогли с организацией поездки на акул. Небольшой завтрак , готовят для гостей, до акул ехать 10 минут
• Joey (1/5): Onhygiënisch - -. Alles. We zijn dezelfde dag weggegaan omdat niets naar wens was. O.a. de badkamer was niet schoongemaakt en dus enorm smerig en het bed zat onder de beestjes (bed bugs).
• Kristina (6/5): -
• Boštjan (1/5): - Nothing.. it was incredible. Dirty, half air condition didnt work, key cards didnt work. Please check room before u book. I m not complicated guest att all. We reservated 4 rooms, when we came two keys didnt work and we can not enter the rooms, when we come inside, 3 rooms air condition not work. The sheets were dirty and clearly used, madame in front desk didnt help us at all. Toilets didnt work and it was dirty. Thera was no towels. When we want our money back, she stop speak english at all. We move to next resort wich is near by, it was little better. It was clean, what is most important.
• Nagy (4/5): -
• Denisov (8/5): - Разрешили заселиться ранним въездом, без доплат и вопросов. Номер был чистый, кровать мягкая. Кондиционер работал исправно. Простой номер, на 1 ночь идельно подходит.
• Łukasz (9/5): - Hotel centralnie na plaży, personel bardzo pomocny pod każdym względem (taksówki, atrakcje, bilety itp. )
• Daniel J (8/5): Enjoyed my stay and would stay again, but would opt-out breakfast unless it improved - Staff, location, comfy bed & linens & the sea-view room 2nd floor or above Breakfast was disappointing & could be so much better easily !
• bernie08 (10/5): -
• Kevin (6/5): -
• Rodrigo (1/5): - I BEG YOU PLEASE DO NOT VISIT CEBU CITY! I HAVE BEEN TO 34 COUNTRIES! ITS BY FAR ONE OF THE WORST CITIES! AVOID AVOID AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Rodrigo (1/5): - PLEASE JUST GO TO THAILAND OR SOMETHING! I BEG YOU PLEASE DO NOT VISIT CEBU CITY! I HAVE BEEN TO 34 COUNTRIES! ITS BY FAR ONE OF THE WORST CITIES! AVOID AVOID AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• DIEM (10/5): Everything is great, the staff is always friendly and the owner was so kind, they offered us food since we came right th - The property is near the beach, I love the morning vibe here. get out of the bed, downstairs and then your foot can touch the beach:))
• Kinga (3/5): Kinga from Hungary - Nothing good ! Is verry poor, durty, place with old, used echipements. Windows old, not fitting. Everywhere dusty,and rubish, poor breakfast, just eggs and sousage. Nothing any choice. Werry poor, durty place.
• Camila (1/5): The worst place that I’ve ever stayed - Nothing. It was the worse place that I’ve ever stayed. I don’t even know where to start. If you’re thinking of staying here, please don’t make the same mistake I did. RUN and find a better place, preferably anywhere that’s not Oslob. If you can stay in Moalboal, I highly recommend it instead. This place calls itself a “hotel” but it doesn’t even meet the standard of a hostel. First, when we arrived, the staff had a terrible attitude. We never felt welcome. When we entered the room, we noticed a large yellow stain, about 30 cm in diameter, clearly visible on the bed sheets (right next to the pillows). We told the staff, and although they didn’t apologize, they did replace them. Later, while we were lying on the bed resting from the trip, I saw a spider crawling on my chest. I killed it, but it was a very unpleasant moment. There were cobwebs everywhere. Clearly, cleanliness is completely neglected in this place. Now for the worst part: my boyfriend and I had ordered a pizza and were eating in the room while planning the next days of our trip in the Philippines. Shortly after, I noticed a HUGE COCKROACH walking on the bed, heading toward the empty pizza box. My boyfriend moved the box to the desk, and while trying to find a way to kill the cockroach, it crawled into the box by itself. He took the box with the cockroach inside to the receptionist, told her what had happened, and with the worst attitude, she didn’t even apologize and just said she didn’t know what we expected her to do. After arguing for a while, my boyfriend asked if she at least had some insect spray in case more appeared, and she handed him one (they had many on the kitchen counter, take from that what you will). Then my boyfriend started spraying the edges of the room and discovered a hole near the desk: it was a nest. As soon as he sprayed inside, cockroaches started coming out. He went back to reception to complain again. She came to the room, NEVER apologized, and with a disgusted face still gave us no solution.
• Jordan (8/5): Amazing staff and comfortable stay - Comfy bed, great location and nice staff
• Palmer (3/5): Poor - The view of the ocean from the patio The Staff... Very rude towards me a foreigner, spoke very if any English... Also tried to increased prices on anything I wanted... Had to pay extra for a oceanfront room which I requested when I made the reservation.... I will Never go back there Again to stay...
• Simon (5/5): Good value for money - A nice terrace (for breakfast) at the back of the hotel with steps leading down into the sea. Egg , hot dog and toast for breakfast Comfy bed. Clean room. Sea view was minimal! You could just about glimpse the sea over a roof! Small room. Good value for money. Shower was very poor flow and could hardly even get wet! Air con was struggling and only just making the room cool enough. Motorbikes hired at the hotel for 500PHP were not in good condition (seat did not shut properly, poor brakes) and only a bike helmet available. Be aware that there is not much in the area for tourists. Le Bistrot was a good place to eat.
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, comfy beds and very helpful staff. I will go bac next time i am in Oslob! Nothing
• Jayson (8/5): Very good -
• Will (3/5): Only stay if you need to catch the ferry - Convenient location Damp room, broken glass window, very small window not much natural light
• Andrew (9/5): Staff were awesome. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again pending on water pressure in the bathroom - Breakfast was great. Staff were great and helpful. Location was good for the activities we had arranged. Had an early check in as well which was quite convenient. Needs a bit more water pressure in the bathroom.
• Leah (3/5): its not good to stay - its near at my place to go with -not clean -have a lot of small ant coach roch and they dont clean the room -cr is difficult to flush
• Covrigeanu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Saul (8/5): Very good -
• Graciano (2/5): Very poor -
• Julien (7/5): Good - Good location No Wifi, no Tv
• Julien (7/5): Good - Clean and comfortable No Wifi and Tv not working
• Neill (8/5): Very good - Room was very clean and very comfortable beds. Breakfast staff needs to be more attentive with the customers.
• Alex (8/5): Very good -
• Jose (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sarmiento (7/5): Good -
• Redwan (5/5): There are better choices - Power was out when we arrived. Water pressure was extremely low the first day, and there was no water coming out at all next morning. Staff wanted to charge 2k for an old missing towel, but we ended up finding it. Power was out when we arrived.

• Yukio (5/5): Passable - Water pressure is very weak.
• Jaroslaw (8/5): Very good - Good location. Staff helped with booking in the whale shark watching so we didn't have to wait in the queue. Very nice view from terrace. Good breakfasts. Not so nice view from room window.
• Mina (1/5): Bad - Very dirty Unhygienic
• Michel (7/5): Decent stay - The location was conveniently close to my spouses venue (I was not present). Good for a few nights stay. They really need more variety for breakfast (especially for those who will stay for a few nights).
• Niel (7/5): Good -
• Costel (8/5): Very good - Good location if u planning to see the Whale Shark .
• Marilyn (9/5): Comfortable stay - Location central. Within walking distance to shops and market. Staff allowed us to use their kitchen to cook for new year celebration ourselves.
• Regine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicharat (6/5): Pleasant - Bed Shower (water so slow)
• Jessica (3/5): Poor - Allowed later checkout 1pm due to activities. The hotel felt dirty. Was not able to shower in my room because the hot water service and shower head were not working. Dinner comes in takeaway containers from a restaurant in town and took well over an hour to arrive. When it got there, they told us that unfortunately part of the meal was not ready and would be another 40-minute wait. Transport organised for my elderly parents was tricycle rather than car and very expensive. Overall, it was a very disappointing stay. Would definitely not recommend or return.
• Mariane_13 (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (8/5): this was my second stay on Cebu, I found here in Oslob what I looking for - Scubadiving and divemast - TIpical asia breakfast egg, rise, ham Closed drains along the seafront at hotels, after rain all the smelly drains flow into the sea
• Mislav (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matthias (9/5): Very friendly and helpful - Room was good and the staff were extremely helpful. Reservations for whaleshark watching and scooter hire were very helpful.
• Tyler (1/5): Avoid this place - Location as represented. Confrontational manager. Awful experience. Dirty rooms, stains and dirt on the sheets, ants and somebody else’s hair in the bed. The dirty conditions are one thing but the demeanour of the manager was very off putting and made us very uncomfortable. We decided to leave within 2 hours of arriving and she decided to keep the full booking cost for the 2 nights. The rest of the hotel is basic and dirty at best but we knew this going into it based on other pictures and reviews. Avoid this one.
• Zhang (6/5): Fine - good price and view Delicious breakfast Air conditioner was too old and noisy
• Garry (6/5): Pleasant -
• Sheila (9/5): Superb - Bed
• Dayne (10/5): Exceptional - Rose is extremely helpful and friendly in organising our trips and transport! Thank you!
• Sarawana (5/5): Passable -
• Regimantas (9/5): Stay in Oslob Babylon - Friendly and very helpful staff.Good location. The shower tap was leaking (noisy drops in the night).My laundry was not done (pre agreed additional service).
• Ethan (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Oslob Nothing to mention
• Jacobs (8/5): Very good - The room and bedsheets were clean and there is a small refridgerator in the room. The staff is friendly and helpful. We rented a scooter from them and they also arrange for whale shark diving without adding any fees, which we appreciate. Well done guys! We did not enjoy the breakfast as it was too oily with no taste. Very unhealthy. The bathroom needs a proper clean, including taps, mirror and the shower glass.
• Rexalen (5/5): Passable - City center, near to all. The non daily cleaning and the broken fixtures in the room.
• Napoleon (8/5): Very good -
• Guest (1/5): Bad -
• Lorrie (8/5): Very good - We were in number 208! It had pretty decent internet as the router was close to our room. We loved having our coffee, we brought our own, the common area ocean front deck, and meeting other guests there. It is on a quiet street that has an ATM, printer/ scanner/internet room, and other eateries. It is within walking distance to a mall various other shops. Our hotel front desk booked our 🐋 whalesharks for 500 Philippines peso each and 400 tricycle ride there & back. We used tricycles many times to get around. You can rent the scooters as well. We think we had a fridge! It is not fancy, yet it was comfortable for us. We walked all around to a church built by coral in the 1800s. Highly recommend this place. They also have snacks and cold drinks, including beer and souvenir! There are lots of great places to eat. We went to another hotel and had a fun, delicious meal.
• Terinka (8/5): Great cheap stay for night - Really amazing staff. We had lot of fun on karaoke and give me taste their food. Lady on receptionist manage for us ferry and tuktuk for ride. She is very helpful and nice. Great location. We had dirty blanket and breakfast was little chaotic(no menu etc), but its just small thing.
• Alan (6/5): Pleasant - Helpful staff Kind of a dingy room
• Jaster (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice hotel, clean and easy to find
• Marcus (7/5): Good - Nice staff , decent room No water
• Matthew (1/5): Bad -
• Alianna (2/5): toilet didnt have a flush, the light near the door kept stuttering as soon as we turn the lights off. aircon was hot, no - cheap very far from the main oslob area. beds smelt like body odor.
• Ethan (5/5): Passable -

• Velio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ryzza (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gerald (10/5): Exceptional - Rosalia is the heart of this hotel! She can everything check for you! Taxi, diving, tours and a good cold beer!
• Arlene (8/5): A dag in solo - The resort is on a good location when your coming from Panglao to Oslob, buts still a bit fac from the whale shark, if that's your reason why you visit Oslob. The room have a nicenocean view, is very comfortable. Its nice to be on the higher fllor but you have to go up and sown in the stairs, it's a 4 storey building, musg have ag least a small elevator for more convenient.
• Paul (9/5): Superb - Lovely staff and host. Had everything we needed. Close to restaurants. Nothing.
