    The bathroom was attacked by ants, which made it dirty. The neighbor stands played music very loud very early in the morning. When I complained to the staff, they discussed it with them and the next morning it was OK tough.

    The lady tried her best to accommodate me, the location was good, the bed was OK, there were hot water in the shower

    No air-con. Ants in the room, some inside the kettle so could not use the free coffee provided.

    Nice size room. Refillment for water inside the room. Toilettries provided. Quiet location but enought restaurants and cafeterias in the area. Right on solangon beach. Access to sister resort the Bruce and it's pool and infrastructure was handy, especially since with low tide cannot have a bath in the sea.

    - No hot water (I know, who needs hot water when it is 30°C outside...) - Sink has very little pressure (you can always use the faucet from the shower) - No generator: during my stay, electricity on Siquijor was scarce, only working on and off for a few hours making it challenging to charge phones and enjoy A/C

    + Lovely ladies running the place, always helpful and accommodating. + Very good value for the island : own bathroom and toilets, decent water pressure in shower, A/C (Filipino style), large bedroom, comfy bed + Close to beachfront and centrally located within San Juan area

    Nothing

    Located in the heart of San Juan, but quiet in the evenings. Close to bakery, supermarket, and good restaurants. Beach and food market two minutes away. Room was as described. Good a/c, clean and comfortable (but simple). No insects in the room apart from a few harmless ants by the big sink. Good water pressure (cold water only). Free drinking water. I had an accident with a moped and the lady who manages the guest house was super kind and helpful whilst I was recovering.

    Great little guesthouse right in the centre of San Juan, near the market. I had the room right at the back and slept very well. The caretaker is a lovely lady. Room was simple but had a/c and a little terrace with table and chairs.

    No hot water… not a problem for many people but we have a baby. The lady did give us a big bucket our baby could fit in though and we boiled the kettle to make a warm bath for him. Loads of ants in our room and on the bed but the house keep sprayed the room and they seems to be ok after. Small things I would expect in a home stay but they didn’t have is a sink to wash up, no soap in the room, no mirrors anywhere so god knows what your hair looks like ahah!

    House keeper and owner were really lovely and any problems were resolved really quickly. The owner allowed us to get in early which was a god sent to us early in the morning with a baby! There is a convenience store right opposite and a bakery next door. Lots of drivers over the road to help with trips around the island. A waterfall only a 10 min drive away.

    The door lock in the bathroom is broken, the water in the shower is leaking and you can't stop it, the air conditioner is noisy, and there is no generator set to cater to the customers, which should have been mentioned during booking since Siquijor has now been declared a state of calamity due to the power crisis.

    Nothing!

    It is so incredibly loud that you can't sleep. Roosters / cockerels (I think we counted 8 different ones) are going off since 5am & because it's just off the main road, and the windows are glass shutters, they do not keep any noise out. The road is super loud too so we were having to sleep with headphones, not able to get asleep until after 1am and awake from 5am each day. If you are a light sleeper you may want to go elsewhere. Receptionist also wasn't too helpful, we had no hot water whatsoever and asked her how it could be fixed to which she couldn't help. Overall an okay stay but wouldn't return due to the noise issues.

    relative to the hostels in San Juan, this is a much better option. Both of the bunk beds are double beds & comfortable and the location is perfect as it's right in the center of the town. Also the WiFi worked well for us (unless the island was having power cuts). Has its own kitchen area too which was a nice bonus.

    No power generator, no power during check in around 10AM until 10PM. Electricity back at 10PM and off again at 11PM until 3AM. So we had to open the door to get some air. If this is an issue atleast then have a standby chargable fan with light.
