One of the best hostels we've stayed in, for the price you couldn't ask for more! The staff are so friendly and the facilities are kept immaculate. We loved that they offer free shuttles down to the beach, and their activities are very reasonable and really good. It's located opposite a fantastic cafe, and has a really nice rooftop area to relax on with its own little bar. The vibes are very relaxed, definitely not a party hostel which was perfect for us. If you're staying on Moalboal, I really would reccomend staying here. We wish every hostel was like this.

Nothing!

Staying at Pig Dive Hostel was an absolute delight! Their facilities are top-notch—everything was so comfy, homie, and impeccably clean. It’s rare to find a place that feels this cozy and welcoming, and they nailed it! The customer service? 100/10! The staff went above and beyond to make me feel at home, and I genuinely appreciated their warmth and attentiveness throughout my stay. I left with nothing but positive memories and can’t wait to come back. I highly recommend Pig Dive Hostel to anyone looking for a fantastic, worry-free stay. If you’re considering it, trust me—it’s worth it!

Fun design with the shipping containers! Dorms were very clean and the showers were decent. Staff were lovely and you can book a few tours through them too. Place is about a leisurely 15min+ walk to the beach but the hostel offers regular transport

While the beds are a decent size the dorms are a little cramped. Lockers are outside the dorms but you do have a little safe next to your bed. Showers are separate to the sleeping quarters. But none of these things really detract from the overall experience. I would still recommend staying here.

Well priced breakfast, lots of fruit available. Very quick to order and receive the food. Hostel was incredibly clean. Shuttle service was very convenient. Staff were very helpful when I asked how to get the bus back to Cebu City. Dorms were well air-conditioned and although small were still very private and comfy. Bedside locker was massive and fit all my things although my bag went in the big locker outside. Very quiet and relaxing.

One staff member tried to convince me I needed a private car although I later found out it was easy to get the bus. Tours through the hostel were more expensive than those we found on offer in the town.

The staff were amazing! Jeleen and Carl were so kind and helpful throughout the whole stay. The property was clean and comfortable, with a nice shared kitchen and good water pressure in the showers. The room was pretty cramped, but had strong AC and there was lots of open space to chill outside. The beds had lots of space and good privacy curtains.

It was not a social hostel at all. It would be nice if there were events or other things to encourage guests to socialize, since it was pretty lonely as a solo traveler here. Also, as mentioned, the 6 bed dorm was pretty cramped. There wasn’t anywhere in the room to put bags, so they had to be kept in lockers outside.

Everything was incredible. Though we aren’t usually the biggest hostel people this place was so highly rated and affordable for the area that we went for it and i’m so glad we did. There were so many great perks like the free shuttle every hour to the beach, the amazing restobar with amazing breakfast and dinner and the complimentary beach towels and water. The beds were soooo comfy and soft. Above all the best part was the amazing staff who went above and beyond to make sure their guests are having a good time, You can easily message the hostel on Whatsapp for any questions and they are super quick to respond and always with a smile. Thank you so so much!

Cleanest bathrooms of any hostel I have ever been to. Pretty sure they cleaned them 3x a day or more! Also they have a free shuttle every hour to and from the main part of town so it helps with the fact that the hostel is a little far from most things. There are 2 bakery shops next to the hostel (1 cheap and local 1 touristy and expensive).

Not having free coffee sucked. The distance from town wasn’t ideal but like I said, the free shuttle made up for this in a huge way!

Like other reviewers mentioned, the place truly was so clean! The bathrooms actually smelled nice, if anything. A nice little bonus was the spin dryer and clothing lines, along with the two dogs roaming the property. The staff were always so friendly and nice. I got stung by jellyfish and went up to the front desk to ask them for help, and before I could even get a word out the woman at the front desk noticed the sting and immediately came to help me! The French bakery across the street and bagel shop right next door were also definite perks. Overall, it was a nice quiet place to stay!

It is a bit far from the beach, maybe a 15-20 minute walk. I personally don't mind the walk, and they have a free shuttle that leaves often to take you to the beach and back. It's also not a party hostel and was a bit quiet in the social aspect, but I was still able to make a couple friends with the people in my room. Also, the shared room I was staying in was quite small, but I didn't find this to be an issue. Our bags were kept outside in a locker, which was actually nicer because you wouldn't wake people up to get anything.

The Hostel Nicely designed hostel with a great layout. Rooftop seating and restaurant are quite nice. Dorm rooms are small, but functional. Large lockers outside the room with a small built-in locker inside your bunk for added storage (lock and key provided). Everything is nearly new, clean and in good condition. Air conditioner works well and showers provided strong water pressure and warm water. The Stay The beds were very comfortable and the hostel is relatively quiet. Location is good and about a 10-minute walk from the beach, bars, restaurants and diving/snorkeling activities. French bakery across the street is excellent. You also have the option to book tour packages directly through the hostel. They have a few dogs on the grounds that are friendly and harmless. The Service The staff is very kind and helpful. They were always available to provide support and facilitate transfers and tours as needed. They even provide a free shuttle to the town centre multiple times a day (schedule is posted at the main entrance).

The staff assigned a family of 5 to share a 6-bed dorm with me which included small children. They were incredibly noisy and kept me up late every night during the length of their stay. I would suggest practicing more mindfulness when assigning underage children to shared spaces. Not a huge deal and I would still recommend this hostel.

In one word, excellent!!! Very clean and well maintained facilities! The staff was very welcoming and helpful at all times! Breakfast was included in our room booking and it was well prepared and adequate (if not, there is a very good french café just opposite the hostel). Drinkable water was available. It is located a 15-min walk from bustling Moalboal center, which was much preferable in our case. The hostel has a free shuttle bus to/from center, but they can also arrange a tricycle to pick you up. The security guard and the monitoring of the common areas also made us feel safer. Thank you guys! ✨🙏🏼
