Native hut is perfect for us, backpackers. Place is simple and clean. Owner was very helpful and kind. The comfort room is shared but well maintained and clean. The location is perfect for whaleshark watching. Highly recommended.

The comforting hospitality and prime location of Sharky Hostel is the perfect accommodation to book for those who want the best experience in Oslob. This budget-friendly hostel offers just what is needed in rooms, facilities, and location. It is perfect for those backpacking or enjoying a vacation.

The design of the hotel is a dormitory that consists of multiple nipa hut cottages for the guests to stay in. The rooms offer bunk beds, electric fans, and sockets for charging needs, and a bathroom. Entering the property, guests will be greeted by the very accommodating caretaker of the hostel. From immediate needs to general knowledge of the area, the staff of Sharky Hostel Oslob is willing to assist. The staff members are more than eager to let guests use their kitchen and dining area.

The location of the hostel is also the perfect one for those who wish to experience the world renowned Oslob whale shark watching. Situated only 62 meters away from the Oslob whale shark watching area, it will only take a minute to cross to the port, giving guests the advantage of beating out all the other tourists who are traveling to see the whale sharks.

Those who wish to explore the other areas of the island may do so as the staff members are more than willing to give their insight on these places. The Tumalog Falls and Sumilon Island Tour in particular are among them as the area is also conveniently just 2.67 kilometers and 3.70 kilometers away respectively.

If you want to hop on the first boat for whaleshark watching then book any room here. Cheap accommodation and very friendly Nanay Zeny will attend to your needs. You can cook here and use their utensils also. Nanay Zeny can also help you with Sumilon Island tour and habal habal for Tumalog Falls. Sharky hostel is beside the briefing area for whaleshark watching. Highly recommended.

The bungalow was really nice, i like the concept. nanay and tatay were so accommodating. For improvement - maintenance of the bathrooms and providing of basic amenities like linens/towels for guests. But overall i had a pleasant stay.

If you want to be the have the first boat out to see the whale sharks then Sharky is the best place to stay. Nanay Zeny, the caretaker, wakes up really early to fall in line for you. We rented the gazebo type which has two benches in front where you can hang out or hang dry your wet clothes. It has one outlet with 3 sockets. An electric fan is also provided. Overall a great place to stay if you're with friends and even if you're alone.

All the staff were very accommodating. The staff made the arrangements for us and we were prioritized during registration for the whale shark watching. Aside from that, they also assisted us in making arrangements in other activities such as the trip to Sumilon Island and Tumalog Falls. Two thumbs up for the crew of Sharky Hostel Oslob.
