    Would recommend to couples looking for a luxurious escape in the jungle

    The wifi was super slow :(

    The villa was just beautiful! Well designed, a mix of industrial jungle. I love the open shower! The overall decor of the hotel just beautiful, especially the bar and pool area. The food was great - they served mainly tapas, as well as the cocktails. I think it's probably one of the best in the island! The staff and the hospitality exceeded expectations as what you'd expect with Filipino hospitality. All in all, I felt so welcomed and felt so at home.

    I didn’t like that lots of people outside the hotel can come to stay all day long and the hotel and pool is really busy. You should say something before anyone book a room because it’s not good for everyone. They need to check the roofs of their rooms every night and morning we hear some animals running on the roof sounds like mouse’s or something like that. The road to the hotel from main road is horrible.

    We liked everything. Really beautiful, good food and music. Restaurant is cool and chill. Room very clean and nice. So green. Great location except the road to the hotel.

    Beautiful hotel- decor, atmosphere, secluded location Delicious food- the included breakfast is excellent Airport transfers, motorbike rental and tour bookings very easy Lovely warm pool Gorgeous rooms Excellent housekeeping Lovely staff Not many rooms so feels very quiet (most of the time!)

    Just small details: In the room, we missed a couple of wall hangers for towels or wet clothes (only 2 in the toilet). The seal between the shower and the toilet should be reviewed. As other guests reported, the access road definitely needs to be improved, but it's nothing that would prevent me from staying in the Surfing Temple again. Even with heavy rain it was easy to ride over the puddles.

    The whole hotel is a charm, lovely common areas with pool and bar/restaurant with really cold beer!! The integration of the bedrooms around it is really nice and gives it a jungle feel. The room was clean and cosy, the bed and pillows were very confortable. The A/C worked well and the bedroom was cold and dry! The outdoor shower is a nice touch. Breakfast a la carte was excellent. We went through the menu to try several dishes and all were delicious. The same with the fresh fruit juice. All the staff were nice and helpful!

    Access- bad road going to property. Needs to be paved. No parking spot. Outside parking is ok but the road is rough and had water puddles around rendering the area around not to be quite good for vehicles.

    Fresh new designs, comfortable, private, and cozy Also great food at the restaurant

    One of the best stays I had in the Philippines after 5 years living in the country.

    One of the best stays I had in the Philippines after 5 years living in the country. The food was outstanding. Professional quality, diverse and flavourful dishes at a competitive price. On top of it you have a very wide range of drinks, from beer and wine to unique cocktails! The room was very nice and stilish. I loved how the green light would come from the windows and the open shower making you feel like you are in a little retreat in the middle of the jungle. Comfort in the room is guaranteed, a big bed with good quality bedsheets and a silent AC and fan. The pool and deck area was beautiful, enjoyable and surrounded by vegetation. Perfect to take a break from the activity of the island and have some drinks and food while you sunbathe. Another highlight was deifinitely the staff. Kind, attentive and always available. They will solve any problem you have, just reach out to them to call a tricycle, rent a motorbike or any question about the island! From now on, Surfing Temple is a must for me if I go to Siargao. 100% I would recommend.

    We‘ve spent some nights at the Surfing Temple and we really recommend this hotel. It’s a small stylisch boutique hotel with 5 beautiful designed rooms with an outdoor shower. Everything was very clean and the staff was very kind and helpful for all your belongings. The breakfast is served a la carte in their restaurant and you can choose from several good dishes! The hotel is located just a few minutes by a scooter from the most popular surfing spots and you can rent the scooter directly at the hotel for some dollars a day. In total the hotel is amazing. The staff was so friendly, excellent food and a really relaxed atmosphere. If we come back to Siargao we would choose the Surfing Temple again to enjoy the magical moments of this beautiful island!

    Not much!! There property was great versus others in the area but a few details were overlooked such as providing an extra toilet roll and a drying rack outside for wet clothes. The breakfasts and food quality wasn’t for me.

    A lovely oasis off the old road yet close enough to the action. The room was private, clean and comfortable, with great air-con and hot water. The pool and restaurant/bar facilities had a lovely aesthetic, and friendly staff. Yoga on the roof was a nice addition.

    The place lacks pricavy. In the morning the music for the breakfast area is too loud and woke us up multiple times. Also at Sunday there was a DJ at the pool area playing music that didn’t match the chill vibe of the place (dark techno) at all. This continued all day and your room is pretty much next to the pool, so no place to hide. Little to no WiFi in your room. Only at the restaurant/ pool area WiFi was ok. Airconditioning was pretty bad in one room, but the staff understood the situation and let us switch rooms to a room with better airconditioning. Good job!

    The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. They give you the feeling that anything is possible and they will try to come up with a solution for anything. The rooms are very well designed. The whole place feels like walking into a magazine. The menu of the restaurant is delicious and the included breakfast is amazing and the best we had in Siargao. Scooter rental / laundry / day trips: all easily arranged via the friendly staff.

    Drinks were quite pricey. The weekly Sunday “party” turned out not to be too late or loud during our stay so not a problem - but a heads upon booking would’ve been good, and probably something to consider if you’re looking for a chilled/quiet stay. Keeping some lounger space available by the pool for residents would also be nice on busier days.

    Really high standard room and facilities, including lots of hidden storage. Loved the “outdoor” shower…which now has a screen between it and the rest of the bathroom for those worried from previous reviews. Excellent food and helpful staff. Great location, in a quieter area.

    Remember, you are showering outside, so expect some "visitors" from time to time. However, there is a great staff at the reception and they always solve everything, it is cleaned every day.

    Perfect and quiet place with restaurant, bar and pool. They have great coffee, negroni and cheese sandwich with truffle. The accommodation is beautiful, but you have to remember that access to the Surfing Temple is more difficult, especially when it rains - I'm just describing the reality.
