Hostels in Dumaguete

Awesome hostel at an awesome price. Comfortable rooms and beds. Very attentive staff. The super cool pool is an awesome place to chill during the hot afternoons. Located on a quite and safe street and there are many food options within walking distance.

Everything. It’s a beautiful hostel, with such nice modern design and facilities. Lovey courtyard and dining area. The rooms themselves are so spacious with so much room around your bed (and under it) for your possession. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

The property was very clean, and well maintained.

Our diving and care given to us by ma'am Marielle and Nico was just exceptional. We love this place and would go back. The level of diving taught here is quite high and just outside the resort. There's already a lot of activity and coral reefs in the area. I did my open water here and I was able to dive with good bouyancy in Balicasag. I was also told when we did our dives in other places that my bouyancy was good especially having had not as much experience and it's because of the training here. The staff is also extremely well trained. The food is high quality .Better than even the more expensive hotels we stayed in the past. They really took care of us and helped us plan everything smoothly so we're able to get to our ferry on time. The pricing is also very cheap and very fair. You still need to bring cash but this was the only place we visited that had an arrangement where you can do e transfer but receive cash back and this helps so much travelling in the province. We chose La Tortue because my partner is french and I wanted him to feel safe and have a good trip during the first time we brought him to the Philippines. We don't regret choosing here. Also, the costs for laundry, food, pedicab were very reasonable. So reasonable that our fare of 600 php from the port to Dauin. The pedicab who took my cousin and his partner from Manila tried to charge them 1200 PHP or double the cost. It's ridiculous. We trusted their pedicab driver so much. We asked them to take my cousin to the port even if they were staying in a different hotel. You won't regret choosing this place. It's kind of funny how their instructors were all just here on vacation and somehow. They never wanted to leave so they end up working there. Also, their staff followed them even from where the couple originally worked.

it’s like right next to the whale sharks watching spot, and you get to be a priority of all the people comes to see and swim with the sharks. the hostel is run by a very very helpful family. you’ll also get to know and make friends with amazing travelers who choose to stay their as well.

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.

It’s quite natural and rustic.

The owner is very nice, all the workers are very friendly. They make me feel like im part of the family so i stayed there more than i planned. They are very helpful and helped me with ferry tickets and recommendations for things to do i Siquijor. Thank you! I will be back!

i love the huge common space (living room,kitchen and dining) plus points the beach in the back!!

Everything was just amazing. We got recommended this place from our lovely hostel lady back in Bohol, and it turns out even better than we expected. Located next to Paliton Beach which is just a 5min walk, which is super convenient, and like a 5-10min drive to central San Juan. Mama Rita, and her staff, especially the guy whose name i never got, made the place super homey and warm. They took such good care of us during our stay and truly went the extra mile to get to know us. Breakfast was banging, I have a thing for guava jam now, and every two three days, they set-up a movie night which is super cute and lovely.
