MoHo - Moalboal Hostel — Hotel in Cebu

This is the worst hostel we have stayed in during our 5 month + trip!||We booked our stay on hostel world and when we arrived the room looked nothing like the picture and the description was “newly renovated dorms” which the other dorm may have been but ours was definitely not!||We had ants in our beds every single night.||The shower trickled to the point where showering felt pointless but in the description it was described as “hot/cold showers with good water pressure”.||It is not described in any way as a party hostel but 3 out of 4 nights we were kept awake past midnight with music/karaoke blasting. We have no issues with party hostels but we personally avoid them and we would have never booked if it was described as one.||On our second night it was apparently the owners birthday and they kept the entire building, if you can call it that, awake until 3am singing karaoke, which at that point there was no longer paying customers it was ONLY THE STAFF DRINKING!||On the 3rd night they were again blasting music so at midnight me and my friend went out to ask if they could turn the music down as we couldn’t sleep and we were told they didn’t care!||Since mentioning this to staff when checking out, they have marked our trip as cancelled so we cannot leave a review for other travellers who may regret booking their stay there.||I’d avoid as there are plenty of nicer options...

We booked our stay on hostel world and when we arrived the room looked nothing like the picture and the description was “newly renovated dorms” which the other dorm may have been but ours was definitely not!

We had ants in our beds every single night.

The shower trickled to the point where showering felt pointless but in the description it was described as “hot/cold showers with good water pressure”.

It is not described in any way as a party hostel but 3 out of 4 nights we were kept awake past midnight with music/karaoke blasting. We have no issues with party hostels but we personally avoid them and we would have never booked if it was described as one.

On our second night it was apparently the owners birthday and they kept the entire building, if you can call it that, awake until 3am singing karaoke, which at that point there was no longer paying customers it was ONLY THE STAFF DRINKING!

On the 3rd night they were again blasting music so at midnight me and my friend went out to ask if they could turn the music down as we couldn’t sleep and we were told they didn’t care!

Since mentioning this to staff when checking out, they have marked our trip as cancelled so we cannot leave a review for other travellers who may regret booking their stay there.

I’d avoid as there are plenty of nicer options...

The hostel itself seems great and has everything you need but they HAVE to sort out their bed bug problem.

I got so many bed bugs that they were crawling on me. My friend in the bed above me found a bed bug on her headboard and we told the receptionist and he got a cleaner in who squashed it and that was it... I don’t think they really understand that when you have an infestation you need to deal with it properly.

Luckily there was an amazing laundrette up the road and I put all my possessions in the tumble dryer on a high heat and that seemed to kill them off.

They did move me to another room which had air con when I told them that their bed had given me a bad infestation of the bugs and although I only slept in the bed for one night it seemed to be ok.

There’s so much potential at this hostel, but the bed bugs issue is really bad and I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying there until that’s sorted unless you want to spend a day in a laundrette sorting...
