I really loved my stay at Chief Mau. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, it was easy to meet other travelers and the canyoneering tour they organized was fabulous. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, super clean and look really new. Everything was perfect.

I like that I got a chance to be with awesome people who travel here. The staff were really nice. The place is near the beach. What I like the most is the owner being so reliable and nice. I forgot to surrender my key and so I coordinated with them from Cebu City to get my key back and the money deposit be transferred to me. They managed to do this favor for me. You'll never always see a place to stay where people are all reliable, kind, and mindful of you. Choose this place, but please, please be a great traveler also. The people who go here are really all kind, nice, and reliable. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone I know who will go to Cebu. 🙂

It was a very relaxing stay at Chief Mau, very accommodating! Prior to check-in, we were bringing a car and there was no parking area at the actual property. They coordinated with a nearby parking space on our behalf which was really neat.

love love love a good concrete hostel (2 rear dorms). Keeps the place cool & it's easy to clean. The large waterfall showers are awesome! The beds were super comfy, each with its own light & power point, plus lots of shelves to store your stuff. Full menu @ restaurant, plus full bar, lots of places to chill (chairs, tables, hammocks, bean bags), canyoneering & whale watching tours available almost daily. ATM right on property is super helpful. Super close to everything, literally.
