Accomodating staff. Clean rooms. Whale Shark watching is 3-5 mins. walk from the hostel. Convenience store, ATM, and Restaurants are within the vicinity.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect location right opposite the whale shark place and very close to Tumalog falls. It's clean, modern looking and Ken is a gem. He will help you get tickets, bring you to the waterfall and knows the public transport to continue your journey

This place is suitable for a one-day sleepover, it's very noisy to sleep, there are ants in the room
