Casa Bonita Inn Oslob

The was clean - no cockroaches or unwanted bugs. The location is perfect for whale shark watching and the hotel helps you arranging the tour. They woke us up at 3:00 AM and then we got into the line for whale shark watching. Around 4:45- 5:00 we got our waiting number and had a free time until the activity starts at 6:00. Finally, we are done around 7:30 thanks to the very attentive guide.

It is extremely noisy. We stayed in a ground floor room and the AC was super loud. We did not ever hear any noise from the very busy main road right in front of the hotel thanks to the extremely loud AC. The sink was clogged and leaking.

Excellent location if u gonna swim with whale sharks (btw experience itself didn't impress me at all, despite the fact that whale sharks themselves are amazing) - just several min walk from the place (can be easily found on ggl maps). Helpful staff, clean room and freshly-renovated bathroom (at least in my room on the 2nd floor).

Nightmare with hot water. It does exist. But you need a clue from staff to figure out how to use it. (and a bit of a creativity actually, to make the water keep flowing). Paid water from water dispenser on the reception - I have never encountered such a nonsense, sorry (actually its quite close to being free - its 1 php for ~300ml. still makes some inconviniences)

The place is just 10mins walk to whale shark viewing. The staff is very helpful by giving us tip of lining up for whale shark viewing as early as 3am. They have drinking water dispenser at a minimal cost. They have atm machine, unfortunately it was broken during our stay so we had to withdraw cash from nearby place.

They have a lady assisting you to line up, bit I honestly don't like it as I found it kinda invasive. She will line up for you which you can do on your own anyway, it is a subtle scamming for me. It is kind of awkward to tell her that we can manage on our own as she kept on insisting to line up for us. In the end, we still gave her tip for her effort and goodwill. However, this is not an honest way of earning a living. Their motor service is a bit pricey compared to others.

Perfect location, clean room with a good bed, towels and hygiene items are available for free. Also, Wi-Fi is fine. If you’re hungry, you can buy food/beer in the small shop on ground floor. Staff are friendly and helpful! Really nice place to stay during your trip to sharks!

Need to pay money for water from cooler, 5 pesos for ~150ml. It’s not too much, but a bit uncomfortable. Also there is no hot water, but it’s ok, because in the Philippines I prefer to use cold water (around 25-30C)

The staff is amazing. I was planning on lining up to watch the whale sharks at around 5am. The guy who checked me in told me to go to the Whale Shark watching tour at 4:30am. I got there around 4:40am and there was already a line. By 5am, the line has more than tripled and was spilling over into the road. I really appreciate the heads up. Also, it's a 7-minute walk away from the whale shark place.

Very good location. 3 minutes walking distance to the sharks tour. Aircone worked well. Very friendly, helpful and responsible stuff. They call me back to my local Sim when I requested them though the booking message. Later helped to get the ticket to the ferry and booked the taxi for me. Very easy to find. The hotel located opposite the Petrol ⛽️ station.

Great location for the Whale Sharks and Tumalog falls! They can help arrange tour guides who can take you to the falls or anywhere you want to go! Very friendly staff that let us keep our bags while we ventured out the next morning before our bus.

Slight damp smell in rooms

Very pretty and comfortable room, provide water and toiletries. Upon arrival they immediately offer assistance for free and provide a guide to help register for the whale shark swim.

Room faces the street so a bit loud but nothing insane.

The staff were super sweet and helpful throughout our whole stay. They were guiding us on places to go and how to get there. The location is just at a 5 min walk from the whale shark watching spot and Tumalog falls.

Around 10 mins walk to Oslob Whale Shark so quite convenient for people who are here for whale shark. Staff were really nice and helpful!

Not that much around, most restaurants would be at Oslob Town, which is around 20 mins by taxi away.
