to get started.

Stayed for two nights. Big rooms. AC is fine. Bathroom is clean. Def a bang for your buck. The owner and staff were very hospitable. The owner even gave us a map and instructions on how to go around Siquijor. This won't be our last! Thank you! Btw, pets are allowed :)

1.Staff were very friendly and accommodating to all our requests and always with a smile on their faces. 2. Great wifi! First time I could actually load videos without a hitch in the Philippines 3. Pretty good location close to San Juan where the bars and restaurants are

Arn, Singapore

close to the port (5 minute moped ride) unlike other inns so very convenient to check in and out, especially if you plan to catch the 6:00am ferry back to dumaguete. place is clean, newly furnished, and rooms are surprisingly spacious. owner was very kind; even offered to drop us off herself at the port since it was still early morning. you're not missing out much if you did not book near san juan as siquijor can be toured in 1 day. highly recommended!

We loved the family james's home stay a lot . All staff have been full of love and so helpfull about all questions and needs .The home stay is not in the most busy tourists area (San Juan) but it's closed by scooter to everywhere .The point be far from tourist area is amazing because we were able to find small street bistro, a prefect backery and a nice local energy .James's home stay offered rental scooters for the best price in all the island :) It's the palce to stay :)

눉- Although there's a private bathroom, it's not en suite. You have to walk past 3 other rooms to get to it. So although it's designated for personal use, it still isn't as convenient as having it in or next to the room you're sleeping in. As a lone traveller this wasn't such a big issue, but as a couple I think it might be a bit of a nuisance.

눉1. No hot water in the showers 2. There were many mosquitoes in the room when we checked in the staff helped us with some insect repellant 3. We rented a bike to travel around siquijor and although the accommodation is close to San Juan, the road down to the area is extremely rocky. It's also pitch dark at night along that road so we decided to take a long route back round the island which takes more than twice as long. I'm a beginner so similar riders may want to take note

“A choice if you are up to explore the island”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Budget Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Shower and toilet - all in one. However this seems not to be unusual in Philippines Furthermore owners are expanding their capacities and were open to suggestions from Slovene architect suggesting more convenient bathroom arrangement.
눇Welcoming extended family. We had big room with fully functioning air-con mounted well so that it did not blow directly on the bed. Property is located 5 mins ride by scooter or tricycle (50 PHP) from Siquijor port. If you are arriving / departing from Larena plan for (still not inconvenient) 20 min ride by tricycle (200 PHP).

눇We stayed for 3 nights at James homestay. We felt welcomed into their family home as soon as we arrived. Our stay was very comfortable and clean. We rented scooters from the homestay for a good price. Our host was extremely knowledgable about the island & told us the best places to go. A good breakfast can be added for a small price.
