It’s super clean and the manager took really good care of us, he woke up at 3AM to reserve us a spot for the whale shark tour, so that we can arrive 2 hours later and be the first one to see the whale shark.

Everything is clean! The owners were accomodating, the owner, which is the wife, even offered us an upgrade to our room to get AC. And the food is very delicious. WIFI is fast. Worth it! Surely comeback there.

The owners were the friendliest staff I have ever had in my travels. I booked a whale shark tour with them for a great price and they made it an easy and wonderful experience. I was stranded with no cash as Oslobs only ATM did not accept my MasterCard debit card. They loaned me cash to get to my next destination. Truly a great staff and a place I would highly recommend.

“Cheap, you get what you pay for and won’t be returning!”

- • Stayed 2 nights

First impressions were bad- felt intimidated when we were being asked about what we were doing during our stay and the situation when it came to adding air conditioning in our room (2,000 peso a night)!!! Questioned a lot about who we had arranged a lift to see the whale sharks with insistent that we went with them instead (which did work out well in the end). Just gave us a bad feel as soon as we arrived and made us feel uncomfortable. Room and bathroom very basic as you would expect for what you pay, but it didn’t even have a toilet seat which seemed odd!
Location was good and the staff were very kind in giving us lifts into town when we needed them. They were good in organising us with seeing the whale sharks- would recommend further guests to go with the hotel as they are able to prioritise us when we got there

“Good value for money short-stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
The downside is the service they offer for the tour. My sister and I, booked a 'Swimming with Whale Sharks' tour which the Pension House offers saying it is a special rate. We took it with a Russian we met on the tour and we're disappointed with the service. The guide is not quick on his feet. We actually waited for 2 hours before we eventually secured a priority number. Furthermore, the contact no. stipulated in this page is 'Incorrect'. When we lost our guide, it was hard contacting the reception to help us locate him from the crowd. I think the guide is new; when we also took the 'Aguinid Falls' tour, we got lost. He doesn't seem to be aware of the locations. Moreover, I am disappointed with the cost of the tour. We paid 500 each for Aguinid falls which I think is not quite far from the Pension House and won't cost much for the fuel. There was another falls near Aguinid, he should have taken us there since the tour took only like more than an hour for a 500/head service. I was told by the locals, there's a 5-minute drive falls near Aguinid. And I learned from the Brgy. Counselor that there's cheaper services offered than that offered by Hotels. I learned my lesson then. So for future travelers in Oslob, when in comes to tours, might as well consider researching for cheaper services or a day tour outside of the services offered by Hotels. You might be able to haggle and score a cheaper tour with various locations on one tour.
What you see is what you get. It's cheap, clean and comfortable place to stay. I was happy learning there's a 'Seventh-day Adventist Church' near it. Have I known earlier, I should have brought a dress and extend my stay to attend congregation that Saturday. Anyway, the Hotel should mention it in the description about the church at the very least. It would have been nice if they have informed us in advance that there'll be a 'Summer Madness' event during our stay but we were clueless, as a result, we couldn't adjust our schedule anymore and was unable to join and enjoy the event.

Our room near the gate was noisy, lots of cars passing by and is right across a cock farm. Seniors are not able to get discount rate. It was also very hard to contact the management and their website is not up to date.

Location!!! This place is next to the fighting cock farm and they start making noise from 2.30am onwards, non stop. We had to wake up early for whale sharks, however it was a sleepless night. Aircon in the room was also very noisy.

Wilma who runs the place is very lovely and knows anything you may possibly need. She makes great coffee, is very nice to talk with, and really looks after you. The location is great, the Ceres bus will drop you off right outside if you tell them you’re staying at this property. Or if not it’s a quick walk (or tricycle) back up the road from Oslob. It’s a really great place, great vibe to the town of Oslob too. It didn’t seem to be swarming with tourists which is a big positive compared to staying in a town like Moalboal for example. Although I’m sure the location of the hotel slightly away from the centre helped this.

The pillows was very thin and not so comfy. The restroom smelled a pit and it seemed as somebody had smoked in the room before we visited.
The owners was very helpful! If you are going to see the whale sharks stay here because they have the same price as everyone else but they have got their **** covered so you will be one of the first in line! They will drive you and make sure you feel good! They have local tips on where to go and when to go which is very helpful. Large portions for breakfast for 100-105 p
