they gave me a hut for a person, bed was big, yeah, occupied 5/6 of the room.||the bed was well maintained but sheets was not washed from my point of view because when i rubbed my hands on the blanket/foot/bottom half of the bed, sands and rubberish-like deadskin accumulated on my fingers.||||charging point by the bedside, fan was on top of me, its cooling, since the whole hit was made out of bamboo.||could destroy it if you wanted to. they gave me a hut without a key because the last backpacker broke the key into two, so it was troublesome for me to keep going back and forth to the reception, requesting to open my hut's door. felt bad too.||||toilet is okay, shower is alright too, just like any other hostels in philippines. ||||that aside, the staff were very friendly and fun to talk to, plus point.||theres a little convenience store infront of my accommodation area.||||its the cheapest out there in oslob during that time, 610p.||theres public bus to the whale sharking area for 10p, just a straight road ahead.||wifi was weak but i guess its usable at my hut. ||||BRING EARMUFFS OR SMTH if youre a light sleeper. theres alot of cocks in that village area, and they will start their morning ritual at 3am+-, afew just outside my hut, almost...
Read moreHost is very accommodating. We never really planned staying here but based on searches this is the most budget-friendly so far. It's Php 500/24 hrs, good for 2. Check out is until 12 NN but due to the host's generosity, we're able to check out until 3 PM. Place is cozy.

Read moreStayed here one night to see whale sharks following morning. Whilst I visited the whale sharks against my best judgement and would not recommend it, I would certainly recommend using Luzmin to sort out the trip if you do choose to go. We stayed in a cottage with a fan which was basic but perfect for what we wanted.||||Picked up at 5.30am and driven to the centre. here our driver/guide went and sorted out our registration and tickets while we sat for the briefing.||||Then we were led over to get life jackets and snorkels and told our boat number. As soon as this was called our guide ushered us to our boat and away we went.||||Very slick and helpful considering the chaos going on around us. It was busy when we arrived but hellish when we...
