Eia by Dawata

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Flying Fish Boutique Hostel, Cebu We’ve been coming to Flying Fish for the past 7 months, and it honestly feels more like home than a hostel. What Michael and his wife have built here is special — not just a place to stay, but a community. They’re not just great hosts, they’ve become real friends to me and Sarah. Always welcoming, always present, always improving the place. You can clearly see the passion they put into every detail, and the hostel just keeps getting better and better. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and genuine. It’s the kind of place where you arrive as a guest and leave feeling like family. Clean, comfortable, well-managed, and full of good energy. If you’re coming to Cebu and want somewhere with heart, consistency, and people who truly care, Flying Fish Boutique Hostel is the place. We wouldn’t keep coming back if it wasn’t worth it — and it absolutely is. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend! The owner and their staffs were so nice! I never felt intimidated. This is my first solo travel and I have no regrets staying here! They also conduct yoga sessions! I am so inlove that I’ll be back after 4 days. It is also convenient and accessible to supermarkets, etc.

Eia has such a welcoming, friendly vibe! The family that own it are very genuinely helpful and accomodating. The rooms and common spaces are artistically decorated, I felt like I was in a museum. The tiles on our bathroom floor were so beautiful and colourful, they made me smile every time I went in there. And a really cute french bulldog lives there!! I recommend 100%.

best location to stay if you wanna be surrounded with good restaurants, good cafes and bars in Cebu. their rooms are GOOD, they have a Pool and a common area to lounge which is very homey! staff are all nice 😊 they have a Yoga Studio which is the best bonus! really PEACEFUL and SMOKE-FREE environment 🫶🏽 its a pocket of wellness gem ✨

Eia by Dawata is such a chill, welcoming hostel. The vibes are cozy, the space is clean and beautiful, a short distance to a lot of essential places, and everyone there just feels genuinely kind. It’s the perfect place to stay when you’re in the city So grateful to Michal and Sepfry for your warm hospitality! Would 100% stay here again every time I come back to Cebu 💜

Nice place in Cebu. I went there as a solo travel. My only recommendation would be to keep clean the toilets/showers. The walls could look better. I’m not accustomed to have toilet and shower in the same area without separation but it was ok.

Room is cozy, feels like home. Staff are friendly and are so nice. Location is not so close to the main road to hear the noise of the cars but not too far to make walking inconvenient✨ and btw very affordable! Highly recommended!!!

EIA by Dawata is the perfect chill escape in Cebu. The ambiance is welcoming, the spaces are well-designed, Whether you’re staying short-term or long-term, it’s an amazing place to relax, recharge, and meet cool people along the way.
