    No beachfront, no pool, typical backpackers. The washroom could have used a sprayer, that was disappointing. The fan was sufficient. But I found it a bit on the pricey side.

    Wasn’t overly expensive but for what you get it was pricey.

    The rooms are only with fans and still at times it would get hotter in the room than it was outside. With a power cut that happened in the middle of one night it was almost unbearable. When we asked about it in the morning the staff said it would last until 5pm later that day. Wifi is only in certain part of the property not everywhere.

    The location and the relax areas were great. Right by the beach and lots of hammocks around.

    The lock for the room needs a replacement and the fan should be changed to improve ventilation in the room.

    The room is spacious for a solo traveler with enough bathroom essentials. The lighting is good, especially in the morning.

    We did not get the room we paid for. Nowhere near the standard that our money paid for. Found us a slightly better room but said it cost more. This was incorrect as on the website it was cheaper than what we paid ! A dark room. Plumbing leaking. Management would not give a refund so we had to argue for what we got. A month in the Philippines and the worst accommodation for the amount we paid

    We loved Siquijor, but advise you to check what you are paying for at Tori’s The regular staff were great

    Toilets didnt flush properly and sadly for a backpackers place its really deserted. The restaurant and bar closed before 9pm.

    The room was really big with a nice balcony infront. The location of the property is also great - just right at the end of the main street and infront of the sea

    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 had an awful vibe… 12 beds in a small room, with one shower and one toilet. I’m pretty sure the private rooms give a better impression of the place

    Nice restaurant area with billiards. The kitchen is open for a big part of the day which is great. The location is amazing in front of the beach.

    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.

    It’s ok, but the family room smelled old and moldy and the floor was cracked. A lot of mosquitoes. Overall the place is really old, it needs a renovation and some more taking care of the place. You should lock the doors as we had unwanted visitors because the place is accesible through the beach.

    The food is ok and the pool table and common areas are a good point. Good value for money I suppose.

    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.

    Perfect place but simple

    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

    Just the room we stayed, the wifi and lte is weak. We have to go out a couple of steps from the room to get a connection between the 2.

    The property is in good location and it has a small beach front. Its near in the marine sanctuary, so we just walked by the beach going to there. The restaurant was affordable and the servings were big. Plus it taste good! The staff were so nice too.
