The air-conditioning in the dorm room was extravagant and I liked how the beds looked very traditional. Their lockers were convenient because it had three levels: the topmost one you could use to put your essentials such as toiletries which you'll be using all throughout your stay, the second one is where you could lock away your valuables, and the one at the bottom is where you could stash your luggage. Water is provided for free and there's a heater. Lots of scooter rentals nearby and next to the hostel is a small restaurant serving cheap food. I mostly ate there with my daily dose of instant pancit canton. Lastly, the owner, Jess, was very easy to talk to and considerate. When I told her that I needed to leave earlier than my scheduled departure because I needed to take care of something in the city, she refunded me two nights in a heartbeat and it could have even been three if someone booked my bed for the night I left.

There were no hooks in the bathrooms so hopefully that could be added in the future. One of the bathrooms has stagnant water on the floor after someone showers. Quite a small common area although there's a countertop and high chairs which you could use for working. Nothing major, but just thought I'd point them out as rooms for improvement. A fridge would also be a nice addition.

I had a lovely stay at Ohlala Hostel and enjoyed my time in Moalboal. The stuff is so Kind! Especially Jackey is so helpfull was available to answer all questions! Jess was also so friendly:) The bed is very comfortable, the Common area is cozy and you get free coffee and water. The place is next to Bars, Restaurants and Shops. It's Not far away from the Beach where you can Go snorkeling:) I extended my stay 4 times

Could be a bit cleaner sometimes

The location is amazing and the staff is very friendly! It is just a short walk to the sardine run and they also rent snorkel gear. Many cafes and restaurants around the hostel. The AC in the room works very well and the bed was comfortable. The toilets are good. Wifi works. Would definitely come back for the location. It is generally quieter and less social. There is only one dorm room and no activities organized by the hostel but you still connect with the people in your room, it is just a more private and calm setting which I really liked :)

The hostel area was very clean and comfortable w/ AC and basic amenities. The common areas like the lounging area and showers could do with more upkeep and organizing, though. Location is great, just a few minutes walk from restaurants and Panagsama beach.

I wish they would allow indoor slippers or provide ones for the bathroom as it didn't feel comfortable being barefoot in the shower with a floor that was sometimes not cleaned right away. Just a suggestion!

The hostel room was clean and the staff were friendly. The location is very close to bars and restaurant and a few minutes walk from the beach where the sardine run is. The hostel offers snorkel rent too. The room has AC and each bed had a locker and small shelf, plug socket and lamp which was a nice touch.

The dorm is very close to the reception where the staff like to play karaoke through a speaker. They’re good singers and seem to stop around 9pm but when it’s been 3 hours and your next door to them it becomes abit much if your trying to relax and have some peace and quiet or an early night

The staff was very helpful with organising tours to Oslob for whale sharks and Kawasan Falls for canyoneering - we booked on the spot for the day after. Location wise very close to Panagsama beach, about 150-200 peso and 10mins to get to the Moalboal bus terminal.

Motorbikes driving past the place night - however you would get that at any hotel/hostel if you stay along the same road.

Great location. Small bur cozy hostel, clean bathrooms and showers. We met Jess the owner who was so charming and shared lots of tips and things to do. We had the double private bedroom (Cebú room) with shared bathroom which was ok. Location is fantastic, close to all the restaurants and shops. It is only a 5min walk to the beach!

The hostel is in an excellent location in the touristy part of Moalboal. The location right on the main road may be disturbing for some but the proximity to restaurants and the beach was great for us. The hostel is very clean and its small size gives it a homey vibe. The staff was very helpful with arranging tours, answering any questions, and renting snorkels. The room had working AC, towels were provided and the a la carte breakfast was delicious.

Our room did not have a window which may get a bit depressing for longer stays. Also, the room door was quite thin so any conversations in the lobby in the evening or early mornings felt very loud in the room. During our stay in Moalboal there was a scheduled blackout due to maintenance and of course, the hostel could not do anything about it so we don't blame them but providing some small amenities like dispenser of fresh water to clean hands or a torch light for the room would be helpful.

Everything was perfect. Nice dorm, nice working aircon, nice and clean bathroom, towel included. They also provide some tours. The location is on the main touristic street, 10min away from the sardine run spot. You can also rent snorkel from them.

Staff was very nice but sometimes hard to find around.

All the friendly staff working on their duty. Called Jackey and Kriz were excellent enough to support my first stay in Moalboal

The other guest unexpectedly caused a noise with heavily drunk attitude in the early morning when everyone normally fell asleep.
