Water interruption

Accomodating staffs and early delicious breakfast

Stayed in July 2025

I booked this property as a graduation gift for my brother, who stayed for a week and had a wonderful experience. He really enjoyed the peaceful, private setting. The house has its own garden, which made it perfect for relaxation. The breakfast food was really good with enough portions, though they could improve by offering more variety and choices. The overall atmosphere was just what he needed. He truly enjoyed his stay and definitely wants to visit again!

There weren’t any events going on like advertised on the Instagram (yoga etc), the photos did make it look a lot bigger than it was, our room was tucked away down a dark area so we didn’t get much light into the room and felt quite claustrophobic. Our door jammed one of the nights and we couldn’t get into our room. It was a very stressful experience as the security guard couldn’t speak English very well and didn’t have any data to call the owner to help us. We had medication locked inside the room too so we really needed to get in. After around 40 minutes he had to unscrew the door so we had to sleep with an unlocked door. They did sort the problem out very quickly the following day, and gave us a free airport transfer.

The property itself is beautiful and quiet for a nice wind down from the busy general Luna area. A pretty garden in the back to chill and sunbathe with nice kitchen facilities.

No problems.

Nice place with cute little rooms, clean and quiet, hot water, good wifi, a couple kilometers outside of General Luna so plan to either rent a motorbike or else you can just catch a ride from a rickshaw or tricycle out on the road into town.

The driveway needs to be leveled. Hard to ride a scooter on without falling

The staff were great!

After check out. We wanted to pay for the laundry and gave a large bill and the girl said she didn't have any change and wanted to take the entire amount of the bill. We found an exact amount and there was only three pesos(!) missing and she did not agree to accept it (which is fine) and only after she realized that she was not behaving well did she go and bring us the change. A nice stay with a bitter ending

Good shower, tasty eggplant omelette , good WiFi, the bed was comfortable and most of the time the staff was amazing untill….

The reception only works from 9am to 5pm and since we were never at the hotel during those hours we could not get in contact with anyone. One of the nights (like 7pm) we needed something and called the “assistance number” and no one replied (we keep waiting….). Also, there was a water dispenser in the reception and it was empty for 2 days. It seems the hotel is quite “abandoned” in terms of staff. One other thing: the rooms are very small and space management (even with backpacks only) is very hard.

The rooms are clean and the location is quite good (even though it is not in the centre - but you can walk). The hotel area is very calm and with no noise. The rooms are also well decorated and have air conditioning and a fan in case of power cuts.

It can be hard to take a shower the water pressure is very low at times And it can be hard to get in contact with the manager since all should go through her.

The place was outside the city - so the night was as quiet as it can be - only noises was when it was rain the hotel have some cheep earplugs for those who need it :-)

Room could be more equipped with necessities e.g water heater, clothes hanger, small fridge etc. Rooms are small too.

Nicely decorated, comfortable place. They provide tasty breakfast too. China was very helpful in coordinating our movement.

The neighbors tin roof can get very loud when it rains. The access road can be a little tricky. It's minor and we easily bought from across the street but we would have liked to have shampoo and conditioner available.

It's in a quiet area. We were happy to be away from all the noise and smoke from the busier part of General Luna. The room is very nicely designed and the bed was comfortable. The motorcycle rental and laundry service were all very convenient.

First of all: Lovely manager who helped out anytime. Had really tasty breakfasts here. Only 4 rooms so it feels quite small, which is perfect. Beuatiful designed building. Would recommend.

You must have a bike or tuk tuk to get there

Clean, quite, extremely nice stuff and value for money

I almost have no complaints. The place gave me all the freedom I can experience in a hotel. The downside is the commute. Not a lot of trikes pass by so it takes bit of waiting.

I'm thankful for the fact that after transferring from another hotel that gave me such a terrible experience, Diwa was prompt and available, no questions asked. The staff were nice and welcomed me with open arms even in such a short notice. Traveling can be stressful, but it helps ease the noise when you can stay in not only a beautiful and peaceful spot but also very comfortable place like Diwa.

Water in dispenser at common kitchen taste bad. For the price of the room it was lacking a tv, or an electric kettle. But staff were helpful.

It was clean.

Small details that didn’t bother our stay but might be worth mentioning: sheets felt polyester-y (like not soft cotton), pillows are of low quality (we had to ask to change but seems like they are almost all the same), more hangers on the clothes rack. But all in all a very nice stay.

Nicely decorated rooms and bathrooms. Nice lush garden to have breakfast in every morning. Staff is very nice and welcoming. Quiet AC. They will arrange anything you need. A special thank you to Jay Anne who really brightens up the place with her kindness and smile.

I wish there were more hooks or places to hang clothes up for storage but also to dry, especially since you often have wet clothes or towels from going to the beach. Maybe a simple wooden clothes hanging rack and some hangers would work in the space. Particularly since it rains or is damp sometimes, so you can't hang stuff outside to dry.

Diwa was great. The location is in a quiet area but still just a few minutes ride to get to the main area with restaurants, etc. The rooms and facilities are clean and well maintained. The staff are fantastic! I also really liked having a fridge and kitchen in the common area. There are only 5 rooms- just the perfect size for the homestay.

The fabric conditioner they use in sheets and other linen is too strong that I couldn't sleep properly. No visible staff so wasn't able to tell them my departure, had to just leave the key somewhere at the dining.

It was just next to the first bnb we stayed at. Bed is comfortable.

In the morning is noisy, dog barking, roasters, local speaking loud, I couldn't sleep good and properly. Room small

The staff

Stayed in March 2023

You definitely need a scooter as the location is quite remote. The beach is close but getting there is not straightforward. We ended up going through someone’s backyard. During the night and early morning, there can be a lot of noise (dogs, roosters, people) and the windows are not really soundproof. It would be nice to know the housekeeping schedule - how often is linen and towels changed or if it’s only upon request.

We loved our stay! The room was cute, I appreciated the shower gel, hand soap and sanitizer in the room. The linen and towels were changed on request. The Diwa online magazine was a nice touch. The staff was really really nice and friendly. We rented a scooter for 4 days for 400 pesos per day. There was good hot water and reception wifi was good. We could also use the shared kitchen to make breakfast. On the first day we could even use the blender, but then they decided that it was not for guests to use :D You can also order breakfast on spot. There is a nice garden, but there could be a few lounge chairs. There is also a rooftop area which is not in use, but a few plants and sun loungers would make it beautiful.

Staff was very nice. Clean and very peaceful. Room is straight-forward... comfortable bed, pretty small work area and clean restroom. Overall, budget-wise, it's okay. if you're looking for a location in Siargao that's peaceful, consider this.

the staff were nice. The restroom is clean - the beds are comfortable

Internet is slow especially inside the our room

The staff are so accomodating especially ate ji-an? Not sure if I spelled her name right.

Stayed in December 2022

Well the WiFi is not that stable and slow (globe data is much better). Our room was the cheapest room but I was expecting a cabinet but there wasn't any (I would recommend to add a hanging area just in case the guest wanted to hang their wet clothes)

I like how cleaned the place is and also it's price. The owner is so accommodating and kind.

I really appreciated the breakfast
