Cheerful staff, always smiling and greeting. Free welcome drink. Dorms are nice and clean. Bathroom inside the dorm itself rather than a communal one, is really good. It’s almost private, ofcourse shared with other people from the dorm. I booked a 6 bes female one and only 2 other girls were there, so it was perfect. Breakfast was decent. Even though party hostel which I don’t like in general, but I took a chance and it was perfect. Not so loud. Music was turned off at 11.

The room smells clean, it's really clean indeed. I also like the concept that they have plants at the center of their establishment and what I also like there is I can find peace while staying there, no vehicular noise, only the sound of trees, birds and wind.

Surprised how nice & super clean Casa Arrieta was. It’s a small hostel, but, everyone is super nice because the common areas are conducive to meeting other guests. One can cook & has laundry option for very reasonable fee!!! One of the best hostels in Philippines!!! The ceres bus stop is at the corner street - Piapi Crossing & only a 2-minute walk to the hostel!!! The Ferry Ports are just a few minutes away by Ceres bus, which is so much cheaper than tricycle! Airport, just few minutes by tricycle, thorough. Location to everything is very accessible either by foot, bus, tricycle, motorcycle. Lots of restaurants around the hostel. The best part, amazing staff - Janet & Mary Grace - very professional but friendly, accommodating and always ready to help and answer your inquiries!!! I felt like part of a family there!! Thanks a million for the amazing stay!!!

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.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    I booked one night in the dorm and one night in a private en-suite. The dorm was very good, with lots of safe storage space under the bed, and more space at bed level to have my luggage. There was even a rack to hang a towel or fabric for some privacy. No issues with mosquitoes in the dorm, probably because it has AC and a fan. I loved the style of the hostel. Bed was very comfy. Breakfast in the cafe next door was very nice. Close to lots of nice restaurants. Staff was useful. Would love to stay there again.

    I liked the whole vibe and aesthetic of the hostel. I stayed in the bunk beds and it was okay. They put me in a 6 bed instead of the 10 bed because the AC in the room was broken. It may be better if there was a curtain for each bunk for privacy. There's a little storage, lamp and power socket for each bed. The restaurant is great! I didn't have the chance to try the food but I did try their coffee and pastry (which is 40% after 6PM) and it was really good! I highly recommend the restaurant for it.
