Hostel and 4-bed dormitory is nice and clean and staff is very friendly. Maybe I missed something but the 4-bed dormitory is the only place without Mosquito-nets?

Excellent and budget friendly place, clean with a chill out atmosphere and Ana lu and her sister are really kind and full with humor. They even offered all the guests an absolutely stunning buffett one night.. Maybe a noise recommendation for the patio after midnight would be a sweet idea though, since most people are in Moalboal for diving which sometimes occur early in the morning.

A very friendly and laid back atmosphere, mainly thanks to the awesome job of the lovely Anna Lou! And one of the best stays, it´s been really hard to leave this place!

Turned up and they had no beds for me and my friend even though they had taken our booking. They were well over booked and even had people sleeping on the floor so they were well aware they could not honour our booking. They did not even return my deposit to me

We're very sorry that we couldn't accommodate you and your friend. Between your booking and your arrival was a time window from less than 24h. Just simple local technical problems such as 'brown-outs' makes any email checking/response just impossible. We do honestly apologize to you.

This place is really fun. There's a covered deck and hammocks upstairs. The town is so small that it doesn't really matter where you stay, but Moalboal Backpacker Lodge is right next a delicious cafe, and about two minutes walk from Cebu Divers which offered a discount because I was staying here (I would definitely recommend Cebu Divers as well as they were the cheapest option, most friendly, and I felt the safest operation in town).

very nice staff. clean and accommodating. it has a bamboo raft for a deck, double decker beds with mosquito nets for budget accommodation, coffee shop and free use of kitchen. definitely recommended if you'd want a budget accommodation and if you want to experience filipino homes.
