Located in Oslob, a few steps from Tan-awan Beach, Way Shack Hostel provides accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking and a bar. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar.

At the hostel, each room has a wardrobe, a TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels.

We had the best stay here! This small quiet hostel is in the perfect location if you have come to Oslob to see the whale sharks. It's right opposite the entrance to the walk in tickets but also if you want to explore it's an easy 15 mins motorcycle or TukTuk ride into Oslob town. We found Oslob so charming and authentic, all the people are so welcoming and friendly. Ken who is the main host at Way Shack is brilliant. He made our 2 nights stay in Oslob so relaxing and helped us with everything. He has good English so easy to communicate with and is very professional and personable. The room is basic but clean and comfortable with a large space for luggage.

Excellent hotel right next to the main whale shark watching area. The staff are super friendly and took care of my bookings for whale shark watching, woke me up at 3:30 AM and put me on the queue for the first boat out (with the best visibility). They also helped me on tours to the nearby waterfalls (I vistied 3 the same day) as well as to Sumilon island. The next day they put me on a ferry to Panglao. Very firendly and helpful. The hut is super cozy and comfortable, no bugs despite being a bamboo hut in the middle of the garden. Very good to just lie around and hear the rain falling on the roof. Absolutely unbeatable experience.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    If you want to see the whale sharks the staff help you at the hotel and at the location of the sharks. They were great. You don’t need to reserve, just arrive as early as you can (we arrived at 5am) and get in the walk-in queue. The hotel have staff who help you through it and shuttle you to and from. That’s the only reason we’d recommend staying here. Cheap and easy for whale sharks but if you have a larger budget stay elsewhere.

    Late check inn was no problem, comfortable room, very helpful and friendly staff. Nothing was a problem. Relaxing atmosphere and the property is on the edge of the sea. Magic little place for a budget conscious traveller. All night staff member and gates are shut at night, making it a secure and safe place to stay. I would have liked to stay longer 😁
