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 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 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!!
