Staff were friendly and helpful. Marilou ( manager) helped with island hopping tour and renting a motorbike. She ensured all our needs were met during our stay.

Had an incredible stay at General's Hideout in Siargao! Great location, quiet and secure. it is cozy especially at night with the garden lights. comfortable rooms, and super friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The peaceful atmosphere was exactly what we needed after busy days exploring the island. Highly recommend, already planning our next visit!

pool would be nice in those hot days

located away from busy place, but they helped us rent scooter, which make easier for us to relocate around the island.. clean and spacious apartments

It would be great if they started offering food, especially for someone like me who doesn’t cook, but it is not a big issue

Back for my second stay here and honestly, it’s even better! Still super peaceful and quiet exactly what I needed. Rooms are clean and well-kept, and the whole place feels safe and secure. What’s new this time? They have a new shared kitchen. They’re selling drinks now - beer, sodas, fruit juices and the prices are really good! Plus they got a practice surf board you can use to practice, which is good. Love the chill vibe here. Already thinking about booking again!

Had a wonderful time at this spacious homestay with a beautiful garden setting. The property is incredibly quiet and comfortable with clean, well-maintained rooms - perfect for relaxing after busy days exploring the island. Really appreciated the affordable drinks (beer and soda at great prices) and the modern touch of having TV with Google Chromecast in every room. Great value for money and such a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil retreat in Siargao. Will definitely be back!

Room never cleaned, that’s about it.

Location ok, didn’t eat here,

Since it is not very near the center, you would need to really drive to buy some food or other necessities.

- We liked that the location was not crowded, but still not too far from the center. -Their doggies are very cute and friendly. -Customer service is really good.

what an amazing stay. spacious and clean nice rooms. Shower gets hot. Cute dogs on sight!!! Kitchen area to use, free cold water dispenser and really kind staff. Only thing is the aircon is very loud so bring earplugs, but it works very good :)

This place is just amazing! It’s quiet, cozy, and super clean – exactly what we needed to relax. The rooms are spacious, there’s hot water in the shower (which isn’t that common in the Philippines), and everything felt really comfortable and pleasant. The location is also great – not right in the center, but only a 5-minute drive away, so it’s both peaceful and conveniently close to everything. There’s also an outdoor kitchen that was super convenient – we used it a few times and it had everything we needed. It really added to the homey and relaxed vibe of the place. The manager was amazing – he looked after us the whole time and really made us feel like someone genuinely cared about our stay. The rest of the staff were also super friendly and always served with a smile. We originally came for a few days, but there was no room to stay longer – so we came back a few days later, just because we had such a great time. No doubt we’d love to stay here again. Highly recommended!

All was great :)

Ultra comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean. Super quiet. Brilliant staff (so helpful and attentive). Perfect location just out of GL - only 5 to 7 minutes to great cafes - Malinao is where it’s at. Amazing value for money - I’ve stayed a lot of places and paid more, for nowhere near the value here.

none that I can think of.

I love how the location is just right—not too far, but not right in the middle of the busy Tourism Road. A 10-minute motorbike ride is totally manageable, and there’s always a tuktuk around when I don’t feel like driving. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and get some peaceful rest whenever I need it. Plus, I feel super safe with the two adorable dogs and the awesome staff always around to take care of the place and make sure I have everything I need. I also love that I can start my mornings with a jog or walk along Malinao Beach—such a perfect way to kick off the day! And when I need to get some work done or take meetings, I have plenty of options—I can work from the gazebo, inside my room, or just chill on my patio while staying productive. To top it all off, they even offer in-room massages with a proper massage table, making it super easy to relax and recharge without leaving my space. You can also grab drinks from the reception at a very reasonable price. And the best part—they accept credit cards, which is always a huge plus especially in the island.

The room was really clean and the staff was really helpful and friendly! We extended our stay cause it was lovely here.

It was my first time on the Siargao island, and this accommodation was a big part of the beautiful stay. Staff, lead by menager Marilou, was super friendly to me. I didn't have pesos coming from the airport, so they paid for my tuktuk and also lent me money for dinner until I exchanged some. They arranged a motorbike and were there for any of my questions. I loved the lawn because I would chill in the night outside and look at the stars. It was exceptionally clean and not moldy, which is often a case in Southeast Asia. Also, there is an open kitchen and fridge as well as a water gallon. It is 6 minutes driving and about 4 km from the town of General Luna, making it peaceful and quiet during the night. They also have a cat, Luna and dogs Antonia and Edgar, that are super friendly. I would definitely come back!

They didn’t change my towels the whole time and nothing dries properly so I was using wet towels for 5 days. I think they should have changed the sheets too at least once.

A newly designed guest house, very comfortable and the staff were all so lovely. Best if you have a scooter!

Stayed in January 2025

staff were very accommodating, our arrival was early and we had 8 hours before designated check in but they gave us a room to rest in until our room was available. The room was clean, comfortable and the location was quiet beyond the bustle of the main tourist area but within easy reach with transport readily available. If you hired a scooter absolutely no problem.

General’s Hideout is in a prime location making it a great choice for relaxation. What made our stay great is the attentive staff, who go above and beyond to ensure guests feel welcomed and comfortable. Their warm hospitality created a genuinely pleasant atmosphere which is deal for travelers looking to unwind in a quiet, welcoming environment with all the essentials for a comfortable experience (they even have a generator incase the power goes out). We’ll be making sure to book this place for our next visit!

nothing maybe just the thought that I couldn't stay long 😌

This place is amazing it's easy to find the staff are very kind friendly and helpful you can cook food with their open kitchen which is good for people like me who travel with kids. Always clean and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place not just for couples but for families too

Our room smelled really bad like dog pee, we tried to locate it and resolve it ourselves but couldn’t find the source. This was particularly annoying since we had just arrived and needed to rest from the travels but couldn’t because the smell was too bad. We communicated that with the manager who cleaned the room again a few hours later. It didn’t go away so on the second night we changed rooms. Despite hostess has always remained helpful, we could sense her being annoyed by this/us which felt odd. We are paying for a service and shouldn’t made feel guilty for pointing out something that makes us feel uncomfortable. The second room was fine. The rooms are nice but very basic, totally ok for the price though.

Helpful host and friendly animals, you can rent a scooter directly from them and they arrange airport transport at a fair price

Very little water pressure in the shower( i guess that is normal in the Philippines). The other staff members did their job good but were not as friendly as we hoped for. Especially compared to marie lou. They are doing some work and it can be noisy sometimes and they are not really aware of the noise they are causing. They are sitting or lying on the tables on the balcony of unoccupied rooms. Some of the staff members seem to live there and when you use the kitchen it us like using their kitchen and not really a shared one.

Marie Lou is the Manager of the accommodation and was super friendly and very helpful. She tried to solve all our problems and helped booking motorbikes and transportation. The Rooms were clean and good. There is even a shared kitchen to use. If some of the negative points do not apply to you, you can have a pleasant stay there. But it is quite expensive for what you get, compared to other places we booked during our Philippines trip.

The room had a very bad smell coming from the toilet. On our first night there was no running water and we couldn’t use the sink or shower. The electricity and the wifi kept cutting out randomly and not working and the room was full of bugs.

The location was quiet and the host was nice
