    Bamboo huts naturally don’t provide any sound proofing. You can hear everything from outside or the neighbors, and I assume it’s the same for them. Just something to be aware of. You kind of need a scooter to get around compfortably, they conveniently rent scooters there.

    Nice bamboo huts in a lush green garden. A bit off the main road and therefore quieter.

    Loved my stay here, within the trees and super friendly staff. Other backpackers also more laid back. Still at walkable distance to beach or close drive to waterfalls and other activities.

    We had a really great time here. The hostel itself is clean, immersed in lush greenery but very close to the beach. The common area is also great, and the facilities are good. There's free water and coffee and plenty of space to relax and socialise with other travellers. The hostel is also situated in a very convenient area to explore all Siquijor has to offer. The family who own the place were extremely kind, helpful and accommodating and made us feel at home. The dorms are very basic (no curtains or much space to store things) but clean. Overall really good value for money.

    If you are prepared to be quite tolerant of local neighbourhood noise, such as music, motorbikes and construction, you will be fine as the huts are right next to the road. Fortunately it is not too busy and nighttime is quiet. One of the shower heads needs de-scaling or replacing as barely any water comes out. But you can use the bucket instead!

    I liked my cosy hut on stilts and the seating area underneath. The bed linen and towels smelt clean and fresh. The room had a small bedside lamp which made it feel cosy and atmospheric at night. I received a very warm welcome from the lady at reception who continued to be lovely and friendly throughout my stay. The other staff members were nice too. It was good to have use of the kitchen as well as free drinking water to refill my bottle.

    To use Bisaya, sa kasagbutan ang property. It was nice and cool. It was like glamping imo. They provided a mosquito net and an anti-mosquito plug in. The staff were very friendly, suggesting places to go and eat. Internet wad down when we were there, but globe signal was alright. We had a car and it is definitely more for people on motorcycles, but we parked on the side of the road. The neighbors were friendly — and there is a sari-sari store across if you want to buy snacks and such. The bathrooms were clean. So, big plus.

    The mattresses and pillows could be better and the showers didn't have enough water pressure

    Amazing hidden gem in Siquijor. I love this hostel so much because it's very chill and peaceful since it's a little bit more into the jungle but still super near from the main road. The hostel is very cozy and makes you feel like home right away. It attracts the right type of backpackers who want to connect and meet new people in a natural way. Also the fact that they have an amazing well equipped kitchen makes the experience better. Chris was super friendly and helpful, would definitely go back if I visit Siquijor again.

    it's hard to have airflow inside the room. it's ok with only the fan but also a lot of mosquitos so we have to close the windows and doors and there is just no fresh air.

    the staff are super friendly and welcoming. everything is clean even surrounded by trees. It's very affordable because of its price.

    The hut is a bit small and during summer it is really hot. The hut has only a fan.

    The staff is so friendly and she helped us with our laundry, to rent a motorcycle and offers breakfast for a really good price. We loved our stay there!

    One important detail left out: it’s quite a walk from the main road if you don’t have a ride, and the path has barely any lighting. To make matters worse, the property isn’t fenced, so stray dogs can wander in—at one point, we were nearly attacked by a few of them.

    The cozy vibe

    It would be nice to have bigger lockers that fit packs. But! Still felty stuff was VERY safe.

    Very rustic and quiet yet close to main street. Loved early morning coffee on the porch. The host ladies were very nice.

    Honestly nothing!

    My favourite hostel during my 5 months of travelling! We were only meant to stay for 4 nights and ended up staying two weeks! The island has everything you need and is such a good place to explore. The hostel accommodated to every need. Breakfast every morning was delicious and cheap! Our treehouse room was so cute and cosy! Simple but brought you back to nature. The grounds are beautiful and full with lots of wildlife! They have the friendliest and cutest dogs also. Chriszel the lady running the hostel is so kind and helpful! She made our stay even more beautiful. Good quality bikes can be hired from the hostel and cheap laundry also! Shop across the road for cold water and small snacks was also very helpful! Was very sad to leave this place but will be sure to return! Thank you for everything again ❤️

    The dorm was very nice, each bed has a fan nearby and the bathroom are outside but right in front. Nice and comfy bed and they also provide towel. The staff are very kind and help you very much with info about the island. They also offer a scooter rental service and help you if you are not a pro. If you know how to ride a motorbike the location doesn’t matter anymore.

    I slept for two nights in the bungalow and then swapped to the dorm because it was cheapest. The bungalow is nice but at nights you hear animals all around and at 3am there were dogs barking every night. The fan was working ok.
