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.

The bathroom is clean but the shower is temperamental. Had to get the temperature and the flow right but not really an issue with just a 2 night stay.

basic room but great value for money. nice quirky 1 night stay for the whale sharks. whale shark place is a 1 minute walk away from the hostel. Ken who works at the Hostel is so good. so friendly and so happy to help you get to and from places.

It was right across the street from whale shark assembly point , so it was very convenient for 3am wake up . The guy who works at reception was amazing. He was helping us to queue for whale shark watching at night and was very nice talking to him overall , made our stay there pleasant

Room in reality is worse than on the pictures (we had private room) , quite old and there is no territory around the hostel (looks like construction site) but in this village overall there is nothing to do around and it’s alive only in the morning when tourists come to see whale sharks . So if you staying purely for 1 night , it’s probably a good option because of its convenient location

The availability and friendliness of the staff were very good. We only had one night to swim with the whale sharks, the staff organized the whole tour and even offered a discount. The starting point for the whale shark visit is a minute's walk from the hostel

very good host. helped to us a lot! he helped us with tickets for swimming with sharks, found us a ferry to panglao. very close to place with shark

shower not so good.

The location for whale shark swimming. We did it with a help of Ken, our host. He was so nice and helpful ❤️ he also booked us tickets for fair and made sure we make it to the port to catch it in time, as the schedule is fluid.

The bathroom was questionable. It was full of mold and there was no soap. Water pressure wasn’t a problem for us but the overall look of it wasn’t so great.

The butler is very friendly and always attends to our inquiries. They also provide us with recommendations for tourist attractions. The location is only a minute away from the shark-watching spot. Btw Wi-Fi is very fast.

The water pressure is insufficient, and the room is prone to ants. The mattress is not very comfortable.

everything: smelly room, dirty bathroom, not working amenities…
