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.

The bathroom is clean but the shower is temperamental. Had to get the temperature and the flow right but not really an issue with just a 2 night stay.

We stayed there because of the proximity to the whale shark dive site and it couldn't be any closer.

Spacious room, modern, friendly staff, very convenient location to the whale shark

The drainage couldn’t cope after two consecutive showers, went down after a while

basic room but great value for money. nice quirky 1 night stay for the whale sharks. whale shark place is a 1 minute walk away from the hostel. Ken who works at the Hostel is so good. so friendly and so happy to help you get to and from places.

It was right across the street from whale shark assembly point , so it was very convenient for 3am wake up . The guy who works at reception was amazing. He was helping us to queue for whale shark watching at night and was very nice talking to him overall , made our stay there pleasant

Room in reality is worse than on the pictures (we had private room) , quite old and there is no territory around the hostel (looks like construction site) but in this village overall there is nothing to do around and it’s alive only in the morning when tourists come to see whale sharks . So if you staying purely for 1 night , it’s probably a good option because of its convenient location

The availability and friendliness of the staff were very good. We only had one night to swim with the whale sharks, the staff organized the whole tour and even offered a discount. The starting point for the whale shark visit is a minute's walk from the hostel

N/A

very good host. helped to us a lot! he helped us with tickets for swimming with sharks, found us a ferry to panglao. very close to place with shark

shower not so good.

Staffs were helpful. The room colors are cute and close to whale sharl area so if u have to go the next early morning to see whale sharks its good for one night. Pancake stand next to the hostel was very good too. Theres water cooler for guests and wifi works ok

The room on 1st floor is directly by the carpark and cars dont stop the engine while awaiting ppl from whale shark area..we cab smell the engine..lots of dust in the room due to location. Luckily we were able to move to the 2nd floor after the 1st night. Sink doesnt work and amennities like closet needs repair.

The location for whale shark swimming. We did it with a help of Ken, our host. He was so nice and helpful ❤️ he also booked us tickets for fair and made sure we make it to the port to catch it in time, as the schedule is fluid.

The bathroom was questionable. It was full of mold and there was no soap. Water pressure wasn’t a problem for us but the overall look of it wasn’t so great.

The location is 50m away from the whaleshark departing point.The place could be a much greater venue as it has great potential.

That a lot of the previous facilities on the premises has been closed and are falling in disrepair
