It was in a super convenient location in the centre of Dumaguete, right opposite Victory Park. This allowed for easy access to both ports, and the Central Markets. All of the staff were incredibly kind, and the balcony, offering stunning views of the surrounding area with free drinking water and coffee was a bonus.

Sharky Hostel is perfect for the whale shark experience. It is a basic hostel, you stay in a little hut right beside the beach. The bed was very comfy and we had a mosquito net, plugs to charge our phones and a fan! The hosts were so helpful - they made sure we were the first in the queue for the whale sharks (3.15 am wake up call!) - this was great because it meant we got on the first boat and we were finished by 6 am (and avoided the exceptionally long queues in the heat - and these were the queues in low season!). The hosts were also great for showing us where to rent motos and how to move on to our next destination. Would highly recommend this hostel to stay in if you want to swim with whale sharks and continue on your journey the next day.

I had an incredible time at Love Shack Hostel! The rooms were comfortable and clean, providing a great place to relax after a day of exploring. The hostel also offers super cozy lounge areas, perfect for chilling and meeting new people. One of the highlights was the Family Dinner, which creates such a welcoming and social atmosphere—perfect for getting to know fellow travelers! The service was absolutely outstanding! The staff goes above and beyond to help with anything, always looking for solutions and making sure guests have the best experience. They’re super friendly, reachable via WhatsApp, and truly make you feel at home. The location is perfect—close to the beach and nightlife, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. I can’t recommend Love Shack Hostel enough! If you’re looking for a place with great vibes, amazing people, and top-notch service, this is the spot to be.

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.

I booked one night in the dorm and one night in a private en-suite. The dorm was very good, with lots of safe storage space under the bed, and more space at bed level to have my luggage. There was even a rack to hang a towel or fabric for some privacy. No issues with mosquitoes in the dorm, probably because it has AC and a fan. I loved the style of the hostel. Bed was very comfy. Breakfast in the cafe next door was very nice. Close to lots of nice restaurants. Staff was useful. Would love to stay there again.

I liked the whole vibe and aesthetic of the hostel. I stayed in the bunk beds and it was okay. They put me in a 6 bed instead of the 10 bed because the AC in the room was broken. It may be better if there was a curtain for each bunk for privacy. There's a little storage, lamp and power socket for each bed. The restaurant is great! I didn't have the chance to try the food but I did try their coffee and pastry (which is 40% after 6PM) and it was really good! I highly recommend the restaurant for it.
