The property is so lovely, really modern, cool place, so beautifully green. Loved all about it.

As other guests also have mentioned…. Unfortunately the bumpy and very rocky road leading up to the hotel from the main road. When reading the other reviews about this - I thought to myself: how bad could it be haha? But I really disliked walking to the property from the main road when it got dark, as not all trikes would wanna drive you to the front of the hotel - because they didn’t want to drive on the rocky road… there is no street light, so you would have to walk with flashlight from ex. your phone. I will say that the walk from the main road to the hotel is only a couple of minutes! But some lights would already help a lot! However, some of the trike drivers is willing to drive you in front of the property - but you would have to kindly ask (and of course they would charge more). Fares would approximately be: From town (General Luna) to drop off before the rocky road - approx. 100-150 pesos From town (General Luna) to the front of the hotel - approx. 300 pesos Also, I found myself looking for a place to dry my wet swimwear - I let it out to dry on top of the chairs by the door room, but it didn’t seem to dry and it actually just left a stain from the oil on the chairs onto my swimwear.

Very friendly staff and clean cabanas! Aesthetically pleasing and really lives up to the jungle vibes! Great touches on decor here and there - and we really liked how convenient our room was furnished. The food is also great. Breakfast is from 7:30, but as one of our mornings we had a planned tour with pick up 7:30 - they were able to prepare our breakfast before!!! They even knocked on our door at 7, just to take our order, so when we came out our breakfast was ready! Reception staff were really friendly and service minded! Especially the guy (unfortunately, I don’t remember his name :( ) - he was by the reception the most of our stay! He was really accommodating and even helped us one night to get a trike by the hotel because I couldn’t walk through the bumpy road with heels on (haha.) He drove his own scooter to the main road to catch us a trike! It’s only a 8-minute drive from/to town! And approx. 2 km from Cloud 9!!

The street going to the location has lots of potholes. And the street was flooded but was not the hotel's fault. The city officials neglected the property owners in that area's plea for the road to be fixed and per the hotel owner they were willing to share in fixing the road. But nothing is being done by the city officials. I will stay in this hotel again if they fix the road.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The free breakfast from their menu was delicious. The smoothie bowl was my favorite. The chef even came in early one day so she can cook our breakfast even before the restaurant open because our tour pick up was early. I liked the tropical feel of the hotel and the outside shower was a plus. The hotel style is more like a villa.

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.

Can be busy during the day with non hotel guests No drying racks for clothes or wet stuff! An easy fix- please do it!

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!)

A peaceful and private location away from the busy main strip of General Luna. Nice pool with large area for sunbathing. Great breakfast options and friendly staff. Location is opposite a great surfing school and cafe.

The dirt path that led up to the hotel. It's very bumpy and difficult to drive on especially if you're not a confident driver on a motor bike. Also, when it rains little pools or mud form and become even more challenging to manoeuvre around even on foot.

Loved the interior design, the staff, the drinks and food were amazing, music was on point and the over all feel of the place was great. The rooms were super nice and cozy, the bathrooms were beautiful, especially the outdoor shower. Love that they give you a mosquito repellant to help with mosquitos. We have to commend Bybert, Jovel, Mark and Dee for their hospitality and making our stay super comfy.

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. 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.

we had the best time at Surfing Temple - the vibes are immaculate! The staff are all so friendly and nothing is too much, if you like chilled vibes & great food/drinks this place will not disappoint l!! We can’t wait to return (hopefully!)

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.
