Very simple but clean place. Great location within 5 minutes walk to the swimming with whale shark point. There is also a place to have a decent breakfast nearby. The réceptionnist Ken is very friendly. He helped me a lot with a few issues I had.

The family of owners is very friendly. They took us to the sharks (the hostel is located 1 minute walk away), took us to the waterfall. The room seems to be not bad, but there is a cobweb, a lot of ants that run all over you all night 🙈 The linen and towels are stained. But for one night it's okay.

Great hostel, bright, clean. Very close to the shark swimming spot. Kent was very helpful in organizing the shark excursion. Fast, clear and well-coordinated. Didn't have to stand in line for long and then wait for your room. Everything went very easily and quickly. Also helped with transfer to the neighboring town. Good hostel, I recommend 👍🏼

Thank you very much to this hotel - the management did everything possible to make our stay in Cebu top notch. They organized a meeting at the airport, excursions to Kawasan Canyoning, swimming with sharks and transfer to Moalboal. Thank you very much.

Such a great place to stay, the staff are so nice. They are very friendly and welcoming. Although, would be nice if there was atleast soap on the soap container provided in the shower.

Way Shack Hostel is in a fantastic location for visiting the whale sharks. If you speak to Ken at the hostel, he can help arrange the whale shark excursion, it cost me 500 pesos and was super easy to organize. That said, I’d recommend only a one-night stay here. We were disturbed both nights by heavy goods vehicles passing by the hostel late at night, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, aside from the whale shark activity, there’s not much else around the hostel to keep yourself entertained. A scooter is essential to travel to the local town for food or supplies. The hostel staff can help arrange a rental if you need one. On the plus side, the room was clean and equipped with air conditioning, which made it comfortable for a short stay. Overall, Way Shack Hostel is a practical and budget-friendly option for a quick stopover if you’re visiting the whale sharks, but it’s not ideal for a longer stay.

Let's put it this way: the accommodation itself is far from luxury - a very noisy air conditioner, a smell of dampness, etc. But the service staff does everything possible to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The hostel location is extremely convenient: swimming with sharks is a 3-minute walk across the road, a wonderful restaurant La Terrasse is across the fence from the hostel. The hostel caretaker (Mr. Ken) is a very kind and responsive person who will help with any questions that arise (starting from organizing a visit to swimming with sharks and tours around the island of Cebu, ending with organizing a transfer to any neighboring island).
