I like that there is a kitchen that can cook food when you’re lazy to go out. My flight was moved a day so I had to look for an accommodation and the host arranged for airport transfers

Divine Philippines

Everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. The place is clean, ill definitely recommend Ilakai hostel to my friends 👌🏼

Jherica Philippines

The beds were super comfy! The staff went above and beyond. It was so good I ended up staying an extra few days! They were super helpful, so caring and the sweetest people ever. I also loved all the hammocks and how easy it was to rent a motorbike or catch a trike. The food was delicious too. Definitely staying here again when I return to Siargao.

It was worth it chosing Ilakai Homestay :) The owner is very approachable and kind. Will definitely stay here again if we'll comeback in Siargao. It was fun playing free board and card games in there.

Christine Philippines

Beautiful and good location. Great place if you wanna chill and have some good times. Big kitchen if you wanna cook Sean and Grace (the staff )were very nice and helped us with everything we needed. Located near the beach if you wanna go surf( 10 mins walk), and to local food and restaurants.
