Liked everything.

Great vibe. Great staff. Has a social atmosphere. It's not crazy but you meet people. Room was solid. Pool area was great. Good location.

Staff are really great, very helpful. Location is good, close enough to the centre but far enough to not be disturbed by the noise.

Bedding was not changed for a long-ish stay, had to ask. The seating area does not have any comfortable seating options. The benches are hard wood and not at all comfy. In the rain there is nowhere covered to sit.

Great vibes! Mostly very clean with lots of amenities. Lovely staff!

A bit pricey in comparison to others. But rooftop sunset and great facilities, location and cleanliness was worth it

Staff, location, facilities were all exceptional. Advice on tours was really helpful and always someone at the desk if needed. 24/7 Coffee/tea was an added bonus. Really clean and best location for cafes, restaurants and the Sardine Run.

The room was really light even with curtains pulled. Could do with some new darker curtains and a blind on the window above sink.

The staff were really friendly, the pool was lovely and rooms clean and fresh.

Maybe there could be a few more bean bags by the pool :D

This is actually the best hostel I have ever stayed in, and I have travelled to many places. The staff is wonderful and they really made you feel welcomed. Comfy beds, good Wi-Fi, free water, coffe and tea. The pool is amazing and the design of the building is remarkable. The attention to detail is astonishing. Thank you for everything! /Josie <3

All good!

We loved our stay here. We had a private room with an ensuite. It was simple, attractive, convenient and comfortable! Lots of good advice from the owners and lovely friendly staff who made us feel welcome.

Stayed in February 2025

The staff is not really interested in the guests to give them a good experience - I miss a warmth and care about the wellbeing of the guests that I experienced in other hostels. This said, the owner and his wife is very caring and helpful! So as long they are around it's good. The taxi booked with the hostel was a old and not comfortable. The lady at the reception just ignored additional requests, pointing to a picture of a taxi on the wall. No shampoo in the room, but there is downstairs.

New hostel opened in late 2024, run by a Filipino and his British wife. Pool gives a nice vibe and it was social when I visited. It was easy to make friends here. Not a party Hostel, but so everyone was up for a chat or going out for dinner etc. Comfy beds. New AC units! The rooftop terrace will be great once finished (maybe in mid 2025?)

Perfect location just off the main strip and amazing pool/bar. Room was very clean.

- nothing to put any stuff on or in in the private room - no curtain in one window and a bad curtain in the other, hence a lot of light in the room early in the morning - shower and toilet in one, so hard to not make the entire room wet - attitude of the bartender at the pool. He really showed he didn’t like his job. I believe it’s better to replace him. - driver arranged by the hostel didn’t show up upon arrival at Cebu island - the canyoneering tour was 2.200 pesos in the hostel, while we bought the exact same for 1.800 pesos in the village - noise from the construction next door and a pack of barking dogs - top public/communal floor was still not ready, while I expected it be ready by now. - narrow double bed for 2 people

- the pool and pool bar - good AC - location close to the center of Moalboal - drinking water unit next to the room - friendly staff at reception - happy hour on drinks

Best hostel we’ve ever stayed at

Stayed in March 2025

Really great spot, great social vibe, the pool and bar are really nice to meet others and just chill out.. Rooms were nice and new! Only con was the bathroom in the dorm room had no separated shower so the toilet was almost always wet.

Stayed in March 2025

Shower drainage was poor, soundproofing of the room wasn't great. Additionally, despite not leaving food in our room at any point, we did encounter a large amount of ants in our room.

Lovely pool, good AC, friendly staff, great location - close enough to the main time but still relatively quiet at night.

Stayed in March 2025

No complaints!

Absolutely stunning property both inside and out. Incredibly helpful staff and great amenities!

Stayed in February 2025

It’s really pretty and you can tell the place is new. The dorm was comfortable and had everything we needed, enough space, and conveniently put. The vibe is great. There’s music during the day and I appreciate it stops early enough to also be able to sleep. It’s a short walk until the main street, making it conveniently placed but still quiet.

We had such a great time at the Hat Trick Hostel. We felt so good here. The staff was amazing and the Owners are very nice people! Thank you for your support and help at every time. We would stay here again! 😍

It would be nice to have hooks in the bathroom.

Games available

Brand new hostel with very friendly staff. Pool bar was awesome and had a great happy hour with delicious cocktails. 2 bathrooms in our dorm room, so you weren’t waiting for bathrooms ever. Good location as well. Liz was so nice and welcoming. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend Hat Trick for fellow backpackers! They helped us arrange day trips and prices were super reasonable.

The only thing that was a bit annoying was the noise in the morning connected to the screaming cocks in the neighborhood which started around 3 am. But if you used ear plugs it was okay.

We enjoyed our stay at The Hat Trick Hostel very much. When we entered the hostel after a long journey we felt very warmly welcomed. The staff is super friendly and very helpful.

I was a bit cold during the night and requested a blanket. Given the hostel was so new, they didn't have it. They gave me additional sheets instead. But the owner assured me they bought blankets so they would have available for future guests.

The staff and the owners are very friendly. Great pool and pool bar.
