    Shower room floor can be flooded a bit since water is draining too slow. Shower room does not have enough racks to place toiletries. Shower room and toilet room is a quite small.

    Friendly staff..good location (close to the beach and Tubod sanctuary). Recommended for budget travellers. Clean room.

    Nice place and the food is great too. But it's I had a fan room and it got quite hot at times. Still, it's oceanfront and the staff is really friendly.

    Loved the beach side garden and chilling in the hammock. Dorms pretty basic but sleep was ok. Showers and toilet very small. It's in the perfect location near to the Tubod marine sanctuary and as cheap as you can find in Siquijor.

    The reservation said we will have a terrasse and we didn't. The bathroom was just bamboo so like, no real separation with the room, I'm travelling with a friend, so for the intimacy it was not practical.

    Next to the beach, quiet, with a pool table, really nice staff and good food. You can rent scooters, the staff is really helpful if you have any question. I recommend that place!

    what we didn't like about the room is that you'll feel the vibration of the ac and its a little bit noisy.

    We originally booked two rooms. fan room (3pax) and ac room(4pax). The ac room is quite big. originally the ac room is good for 4 but it can actually accommodate 6. We also like that it has beach view which is one of our faves. it has the best sunset view.

    The dorm was a bit hot and depending on which bed you were in, you might not get much benefit of the fans. I guess the worst thing was there were no sockets in dorm and these days I have come to expect each bed to have it's own socket, light and curtain. They had none of them and maybe need to move a bit with the times and upgrade. But it is budget so you don't necessarily expect too much. The pillow was too hard and big for me which I find a lot over here and not good for my neck. But I am 66 so maybe you can deal with it!

    Staff were nice happy people as usual in Philippines! The restaurant was a big bamboo barn with really nice atmosphere. A bit set back from the road so not too noisy, nice music and at right volume, subtle lighting. I loved listening to the huge adjacent bamboo thicket creaking in the wind. Close to the sea and Tubod village with its beach. Not too far from San Juan and lots of other eateries though I ate here every night. The food was pretty good and cheap as were the drinks.

    Toilet and shower from the dorm should be cleaned every day, but it wasn't, so that was the only less positive aspect of my stay.

    Staff super friendly, good location, comfortable bed and clean, the beach is just in front and beautiful. They also have all the meals available in their restaurant or many other food options by walk. I loved it and I do recommend it :)

    Normal hostel dorm bed with fans in the room. You get ur own locker (bring own lock 🔒). Cold shower. Friendly staff. Nice common area to hang out outside the dorm in the garden or at reception/bar. They serve food all day. There is also a pool table. You can rent a scooter for 400 p per day.

    The atmosphere was a bit quiet during our stay, could have been a bit more social for our taste.

    Location with beach front was stunning, although a bit far from the restaurants and nightlife. The staff and service was excellent.

    The fan hadn't been cleaned for a long time so we didn't want to turn it on, it was soo dirty

    The restaurant had a pool table. We booked the night before which was great. Big room with lots of space.

    We stayed in the common room. There is only one bathroom and a shower for 16 people, for my taste it would have been ideal to have another bathroom. The beds have no curtains and there was no privacy. The staff does not stop going in and out of the room all day and since there were no curtains it was uncomfortable that they were coming and going from 8 a.m. Until 8 pm. sometimes for no reason.

    The food is very good in the hostel. They offer all kinds of delicious food: breakfast, sandwiches, meals, etc. The facilities allow you to meet people and do things with them. The common areas are super good. It's very cool that it has access to the beach. It is in the middle of nature

    The signal of the wifi doesnt reach our room. The signal is also not great in our room but when we go out in the reception or in the beach area, it works fine.

    I love that its location is near to most tourist spots in Siquijor. Another commendable is their staff!! Very accommodating and nice. They respond to all our needs in an instant. Super sulit since they have private access to the beach.They also have spacious parking space and spacious room. Big advantage also is that they have their own restau so we do not really have to go out most of the time.
