Friendly, welcoming, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Good electric fans and mosquito nets. Beautiful bamboo raft balcony was such a bonus!!! Kitchen was great and we can't wait to return. We felt like part of the family!

I came to Moalboal Backpackers Lodge for 2 nights and stayed for more than 1 week! The place is simple, but has everything that you need - fan, mosquito nets etc. The staff are beyond friendly and helpful, and make an effort to ensure you feel at home. Delicious dinners and drinks on the awesome bamboo raft really make me... More

Moalboal is a small town and nothing interesting here unless for those who want to go snorkeling and diving. From Moalboal city you need to take tricycle to this place. This lodge i can consider the cheapest that i can find plus the place is clean. I've stayed for 1 night and it was a good experience overall.

We stayed in the double room upstairs one night, the room had mosquito net and safety box. The room was really clean...also the bamboo terrace upstairs is an amazing spot… Other values: Staff very nice all the time, good coffee available, best price… We are living in the Philippines for the last 8 months and I have to say this...

Had booked Moalboal backpacker Lodge through hostelworld as we wanted somewhere fairly lively to spend new years eve. For people who shy away from tourist hotspots we really enjoyed our stay here. The staff and owner couldnt do more to make us feel welcome and the other travellers staying there were really lovely too.

Me and my friend stayed here over night. The place was a hidden pearl and we enjoyed ourselves immensely . We actually lost a lot of money while we were there, and the staff helped us with everything we needed, even offering to lend us money to get home. The landlord in particular and his wife were amazing people who... More

Really liked it here. Sadly I could only stay one night, but I thought hard about changing my flight! Everything is clean, staff really really nice and helpful. The bamboo social area upstairs is really small, but great to meet fellow travellers.

I recently stayed at Moalboal Backpacker Lodge whilst completing my Open Water Dive qualification. I cannot express how much myself and my partner enjoyed our stay. We had one of the private double rooms which came with mosquito net, and safety box that you locked with your own padlocks. The accommodation, showers etc are extremely clean, there is a fantastic...
