The place is clean. The room assigned to me is spacious and has great access to WiFi. The family is so considerate!

Magdadaro Philippines

We stayed there for three nights. The room was big enough with always available hot water, WiFi was also working fairly ( good for Philippines standards), stuff was very helpful with everything we needed like renting bike and finding tuc tuc. Breakfast was also very good. It is located a bit "far away" from San Juan, but we really liked it since it was very private and calm surroundings. On the other hand it is just 10min by bike to restaurants in San Juan. Just rent a bike (like everyone in Siquijor) and go wherever you want. If you are not riding bike, it might not be very convenient for you.

Annaln Philippines

May Philippines

Good value for the money, helped with scooter rental. Spacious room Owner very friendly, but not often there.

Lukas Germany

Good quiet location, good AC, finally place with nets on Windows so you don’t even need AC on night as it’s fresh during night, comfortable bed, free water refill. You can rent bike for 300 pesos. Extended my stay

Ivan Croatia

Staff very gentle, location between San Juan and Siquijor. Possibility for breakfast. Very good for the price

Guillaume France

The staff are helpful. They are accommodating as well

Shang06 Philippines

A wonderful place to stay with lovely people. The location is only 9 mins away from San Juan and five minutes from siquijor in a nice quiet area with no noise in the evening. The room is big with a comfortable bed and a desk and mirror with a private bathroom. Can rent a good motorbike from there too for a good price and is ready for when you arrive. Got a flat tyre on our bike one day and the host was lovely and said no problem and gave us another one to use. The people in the area are very nice too. The WiFi is good and so is the aircon and the hosts communicate well. It is also easy to find, they even booked us a tricycle to Larena port for when we left! I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again next time I come.
