New Village Lodge

For the price the avcomodation was satisfactory

We arrived early, told check in was 3, There was a room available. We cd have an early check in but cost was more then we oaid for a room. We returned to property at 21 minutes to 3 and reception made us wait the 21 minutes b4 we cd go to room. When the door was opened there were 5 very large cock roaches scuttling around we insisted for a room change. This room clean comfortable noisy air conditioning.

Our room was ready but they wanted us to pay to check in early which is absolutely baffling to me. It was only 1 hour before the stated check in time aswell. If the room is ready, I genuinely don’t understand why we can’t just go in?

Nothing, it was a very bad experience. I would never recommend it to my well wishers

The room was dark, stinky. The place was noisy, no privacy. The food wasn't good at all, took ages to arrive. The breakfast was below standard. The WiFi didn't work properly.

Affordable

None

Außergewöhnliche Unterstützung durch das Hotelpersonal. Für Ausflüge sehr hilfsbereit. Restaurant vor Ort Top. Würde jederzeit wieder dort Buchen

Prima uitvalsbasis richting de walvishaaien. Je kan best lekker eten bij deze locatie.

Geen koelkastje op de kamer. In dit dorp is werkelijk totaal niets te doen. Geen strand, geen zwemmogelijkheden en alleen een oude kerk uit 1500 om te bekijken.

Beautiful place!! Extremely helpful staff!! Will definitely stay again if im in the area!!

Nothing

Lovely grounds, koi pond, bars and restaurants area. Couldn't fault the food. Small terrace. Very helpful when organising trips and drivers

Bathroom could have been cleaner, broken tiles . Air con not great and quite loud. Overall a good stay . Some confusion as to what is included in happy hour but they were quick to refund. Oslob only really seems to offer the whale sharks as its main attraction in immediate location. 2 nights is enough in our opinion

I booked last minute due to a mix up with my other accommodation and I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely the place was as I arrived at the reception. The staff then made every effort to make me feel welcome and comfortable and offered a discount on my meal and drink in the very nice outdoor restaurant on site. Couldn't recommend this place enough if you are in the area the facilities have a modern aesthetic and are kept to a high standard of cleanliness.

Friendly staff. Great accommodation and facilities.

When booking I wasn’t aware a live band was playing until late. As I was working, I needed to wake at 4am. Due to loud live band, I was unable to sleep until they finished. I wish that I could have been notified on booking.com of live entertainment.

Staff

Location was really far away from everything besides the whale shark excursion. Interesting rules regarding extra fee with towels and such if they got a bit dirty. Loud music from the other side of the road, so not for the sensitive if you want to sleep early. Ended up checking out after one night instead

The location is quite, surroundings were clean and had a nice garden. The room was nice and tidy. The staff were accommodating and attended to our request.

The property experienced brown-out at dawn. There was no standby generator. It took 1 hour before the power was back. We couldn't sleep anymore, we went out of our room. The parking area is limited to approximately five(5) vehicles only. Our two vehicles were parked at the roadside. The pool is too tiny.

The rooms are set in a beautiful garden with large goldfish. Ideal location

The place was almost empty, I was a tired cyclist but they put a family of noisy guests right next to me. Staff were a bit indifferent

The location very accessible . Staff are nice and helpful. Price is affordable .Pet friendly

nothing I guess

Spacious rooms, very nice staff and comfortable rooms. It is the second time we stay in this hotel and I will come back for sure when in Oslob again

Unfortunately our bed had lots of ants, but not their fault. They moved us to another room quickly and problem solved :)

The location is great, big room and bathroom easy for a senior citizen. The bed is very comfortable . staff are nice and very helpful . It is also a pet friendly which we like. everything meet our expectation. We surely recommend the place to our family and friends.

I think just the parking space it is smaller but staff always help us to make a way in and out. The sound system is too close to our favorite room but its alright anyway the karaoke stops at the time specified by the management.

The staffs are really nice! They help us to arranged a tour for whale sharks and gave us the information about food and beaches. we had some drinks at their bar at night, it was chill and relax, good vibes. Highly recommend!

It have lócker.

The bathroom.

The room we stayed was spacious ,which we like the most and clean too. The location is great close to everything we want to go. Staff are friendly .

Clean spacious room Friendly staff

Don't eat at the restaurant, food was not great at all Wifi was weak

Extreamly accomodating, helpful and nice staff, clean rooms and very helpful in assisting me to make my trip perfect.

AC can be loud at times.

Friendly staff, helpful, good location

Hotel was ok

The owner and her attitude were not.

I like the location,close to the center,the staff was amazing,they even shared with me their food. The resort was arranged with a lot of taste.Food was good

The commons shower without a door,just curtains and in bad condition.Nobhot water there.Hot water just in private room

The staff was very friendly

I found a cup of coffee full of molds inside the cabinet

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Lots of opportunities to book trips, massages, motorbike rentals, etc.

There were a lot of little miscommunications with staff. It looked like the management was new, so I think they'll be better equipped with information and systems the next time.

Super friendly staff that was always trying to please, very welcoming and accommodating Organizes laundry, motorbike rental, excursions, massages - all for standard prices (no upcharge) Casual resort vibe, common spaces to meet other guests Good price for dorm bed I fell in love with Oslob immediately

Frequent miscommunications or difficulties communicating with staff that made admin things take longer Shared toilets are pretty rustic Karaoke was right next to my room. I was exhausted after a long day out and wanted to nap. Even with ear plugs, it was overwhelmingly loud Dorm beds aren't super sturdy, dorm would benefit from more outlets and lamps.

Raul the fixer. Cute dining area and atmosphere

Nobody at the hotel could help organise whate sharks in the morning only Raul

Cleanness and environment

It could be better if they provide blanket

Very nice common area, restaurant and lots of karaoke

comfortable beds,. I stayed in Dormitory and the shared bathroom would use some improvement. Size of the room was a bit small for 4 people. Room was facing to the garden with restaurant and it can get a bit noisy. Good stay fornthe value

The lady at reception wasn't the nicest person

We had a lovely room. Had a great stay at this place. The lady from reception Ms Melissa (sorry I forgot her name) is extremely kind and helpful. I love that she is approachable. We stayed for two nights when initially we planned to only stay one night 😅

We got upgraded to a 2 x double bed room Good location for the pier (quartel beach) Nice eating area and water filling station good prices for food but did not eat any.

Staff seemed ignorant and not happy to accommodate us. Couldn’t tell if she spoke English at first. Couldn’t find our booking. In the upgraded room maggots started crawling out of the AC onto the bed. Staff apologised and changed our rooms and next one was fine except the rooms didn’t lock. Asked to book a ferry to Bohol and she was not very helpful. She told us she could let us know in the morning whether it would be the 09:30 or 15:00 so we booked online for the same price instead. When trying to check out at 08:30 no staff were at reception so we called her phone and got hung up on. She did not seem happy that we had woken her up.

Atmosphere was perfect. Quiet and relaxing

There were a lot of mosquitos getting into the room somehow.

Pretty much everything

Nothing

The place is an Oasis in the middle of the town of Oslob. It is very relaxing to stay here that I did't want to go home anymore. This is really a breather from work. You will hear the sound of the man-made stream and the sound of the birds like you're in the middle of a forest. It's nice to meditate here and do soul searching. The Heritage park is just 2-3 min walk. I love having pictures with the Cuartel ruins. It's like being taken back in the 1700's. One more great thing about this place is they have a restaurant and bar that serves sumptuous menu at an affordable price. I don't have to go out and look for food places. But if you still want to try other food places, the public market is just a few steps away. There is 7eleven nearby too if you ever wanna buy anything and an ATM machine right across the street. Basically, it's the best place in Oslob, and I will definite come back here and I definitely recommend it to my friends and families.

Basically, I love everything in this place.

The room was clean and tidy. When we arrived, the room smelled like the rooms in some expensive resorts here in the Philippines. The lady in the reception, Jona, was so kind to help us with our inquiries with the tours. She even helped us book for the whaleshark activity the next day and the tuktuk that took us there. The tuktuk driver, Kuya Pael, guided us on the whaleshark registration process. He also guided us to the boat going to Sumilon island sandbar. The island was great. The sand was sugary white and the corals and fishes were just fantastic! They have a restaurant inside Oslob New Village and the food was like the best! I've been to some restaurants while in Manila but this one, it's to die for! And their prices are reasonably perfect! One thing that I also liked about this place was the staff. They really get out of their way to help you in every way possible. The place is so relaxing and quiet, I would love to stay longer like for a month. Too bad I had to fly back home. Well, at least next time, I already know where to stay when I'm in Cebu. Oslob New Village it is!!!

I didn't like that I only have so little time to stay in this little piece of heaven. I will definitely come back to stay longer.

The staff, manager and her husband were great, made everything to help us and organize our tours. The room was big and nice. Bar and restaurant on site..

The outside hall from the room was not that clean. There was a cockroach under the bed. Impossible to find because of the bed design.

Everything ! What a wonderful place. It's a beautiful lodge with a nice chilling area. The personnel were adorable and will help you with everything (ask to book for the whale shark tour with them. It's wonderful and they are really helpful) The bedroom was clean (we even had a free upgrade) The beds were comfortable. The food at the restaurant was good. There are not too many mosquitoes. And what a nice feeling to arrive in a place with a nice deco for Halloween!! (They also decorate for Christmas and other Christian fest) What more to say? We really appreciate our stay there and the location is also more than agreeable (and the people in Oslob are just wonderful)

Just maybe the light in the bathroom was sometimes jumping but nothing was bothering us.

We loved our stay! Hosts very helpful and friendly, we highly recommend! Thank you ☺️

The ambiance.

No wifi.The shower heater is not working.

friendly and helpful staff. location.

facilities and lack of furnitures

amazing find. amazing staff who helped us visit the whale sharks for a small fee, sorting tickets and looking after bags whilst we swam with the sharks. very good place would 100% recommend for whale sharks (much cheaper than a tour from Moalboal)

nothing

Spacious room. AC worked well. Not too loud. Bathroom was a good size and a curtain separated the open shower from the toilet. Hot water worked well. ventilation is good. nice front porch to lounge on. setting is pretty spacious and there is a small above ground pool that was relatively clean. food available but we didn’t have it. they cleaned the room and offered fresh towels which is nice since it’s quite humid.

no swimmable beach nearby. there is a grassy area with a sea wall. about 15 minutes away from whale shark experience (not a bad thing). Not enough staff to cook and bartend during our stay. laundry is priced per piece. consider going to a laundry mat. water cooler- it has the ability to cool the water. however, they constantly turn it off. I asked for it to be on in the morning to allow the water to be cool and fresh. In the evening, it was off again and the water was warm! twice in one day. At least, it’s offered to save from using single use plastic, but then why bother having one to cool it down??

Easy to locate Near restos and convenient store Comfy and clean room and bathroom Massage was superb Nice food Very helpful and accommodating staff especially Jona and the owner!

we had a great stay at new village lodge, the staff really made us feel so welcomed and they were so helpful during our stay!! overall lovely hotel, really pretty at night with all the lights! good location and facilities, rooms were nice, lovely staff! thank you!!

Really friendly and helpful stuff, nice garden and location :)

A good place to be based for Oslob Whale Shark watching. The hotel staff organized the trip down there for us (about 15-30 min on a trike) We left at 530am to be there by 6am. There was already a line, but our hotel had tickets ready for us and we were on the first group of boats out to see the whale sharks on their first feeding. (that was by far the best perk- otherwise you could end up waiting in line for hours) It was located close to town which made it easy for us to walk to dinner at one of the 3 restaurants available in "town". The place has a little gazebo and a koi fish pond. It's a perfect place for a one night stay to do the whale sharks and then move on. They had hot water. Wifi was a bit spotty, so can't be relied upon to do real "remote work" but enough to look things up, message etc.

Something to keep in mind: The walls are super super thin and you can hear your neighbors conversation. I wasn't bothered by it all and everyone goes to sleep early and gets up early, but just something to keep in mind. It wouldn't stop me from recommending this place to others :)

good location. good AC. main areas clean. cleaned room upon request. comfortable bed. quiet.

shower not guaranteed to be warm. toilet seat was loose, not well attached to the toilet itself. sometimes hard to find staff on site to ask for things/order food/drinks.

Very nice and helpful personnel, very nice and cozy yard with a gazebo and stuff. Clean. The price is reasonable.

The room was quite old and beaten up, the AC was really noisy.

Central location and super friendly staff. They organised our boat to Bohol for us which was really helpful. They also waited up for us when we arrived late which was so kind and much appreciated. Air-con and the shower work well, and the outside seating area and garden is lovely. It is good value for money!

Nothing really - there were a couple of mosquitos but this can’t be helped in the Philippines. Just make sure to bring some insect repellent with you :-)

Peaceful location
