stay here for almost a week and it was a perfect place to base our selves while diving. the bungalow is bigger then it looks in the pictures and there is plenty of space to sit on in the balcony area. hearing the waves crash in front of the unit was so great every night. the grounds are immaculately kept by the staff that really go above and beyond to make it comfortable for you. they even were rustling the plants to get the mosquitos out and zap them with a bug zapper. next level. then there was our dive guy glenn. this man is a pro with a great sense of humor, always a funny or wise story to tell from his years of experience in the industry, and of course a master spotter of all the crazy weird creatures we came to dauin to see. he planned our days based on our wishlist and the weather conditions. even though it wasn't frog fish season we still saw many and got three different octopuses (not during octo season). 💜 really the whole crew here are the best, from the tricycle driver they use for transfers from the airport, to the crew in the kitchen cooking up delicious food, the drivers out to the dive sites, and even the night watchman, ivan. all of them are kind and willing to help making this place feel super welcoming and comfortable. it's no wonder people come back again and again.

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.

As most people do while traveling in the Philippines, I extended my stay… 5 times. I’m so happy I found such a cute hostel with great accommodations and the best staff. I never woke up without a greeting and smile from them as they truly went above and beyond my expectations. They helped me with motorbike rentals, sightseeing recommendations, and general advice for my stay in Siquijor. They even helped me find a ride for my friends and I to the port when leaving. I will never forget my time spent at Lazy Lizard. Salamat!

    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.
