Nothing everything was amazing

Cannot fault this homestay one bit. We stayed in the family room was only 2 of us so there was plenty of space, there was free water refill station and the room is spotless. Also provided with beach towels which was so handy The grounds themselves are amazing, so well kept someone was always working on something making the place even better. The views over the Sea with beach access and beds was also amazing. The family that run the hotel/homestay are the friendliest people, helped with absolutely anything we needed and organised our transport to the pier Would definitely recommend here if staying in Siquijor will definitely be staying again if we get the chance to come back

a bit improvement to add fan in the resto area

almost everything. The owner is very accomodating, we even thought that he is one of the crew, for being hospitable. Staff are good.

Unpunctual taxi driver, but this is forgiven due to the high quality service we received

We loved the beautiful beachside restobar, which has its own private beach with sun loungers that make you feel like a VIP! They had brilliant and talented live music on every night we were there, which made for a lovely sunset ambiance. We had a bit of trouble on our arrival in Siquijor as the taxi we booked with the hotel to pick us up was 40 mins late. The staff there were so apologetic and made this up to us in the most lovely ways. High quality scooters for rent at reasonable prices. Very nice food, their carbonara is creamy and delicious 😋 the cocktails were also amazing and very (very) strong.

Spacious room in a very pretty property. Great sunset view also. Good breakfast available, though selection is a bit limited.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The location, the staff and the environment was perfect. Also the food and drinks are very nice and affordable. They do live music on the eveing wich suits perfect with the sunset timing. There's also a little beach in the hotel and it's perfect for a quick deep or just for lay there, relax and enjoy a good book. I would deffinetely recommend Swakihan Guest House if you are staying in Siquijor. We regret not extending our stay. Thank you so much for having us!! If we come back to the Philippines we will deffinetely stay here again! :)

Nothing to comment

Where to begin… Location - on the beach. During the day (low tide) can walk down the beach to the main town / market very easily. At night, location ideal to venture to the restaurant/ bars. But… I ended up staying in the hotel restaurant on 2 nights as the food was great, drinks were amazing, sunset view was out of this world. And the staff… were absolutely incredible. Room - just what was needed for a guest house in Siquijor. Ticked all the boxes that i needed for my stay. Clean and modern and totally spacious. Amazing big room. With a fridge too which always is handy Facilities - asked for extra coffee / water / towels and the front desk staff organised it within seconds. Restaurant/ bar - great drinks and food all very well priced. Strongly suggest having the shakes - mango and cucumber shakes were highly recommended! As well as the squid balls or french fries as a snack through the day. Likewise the breakfasts were great too, either traditional Filipino style (I recommend this highly!) or more European options if you don’t fancy the local cuisine. Services - the management team organised a day trip at very short notice. Great day. And would recommend this, all you need to do is list the areas / location to visit and then turn up on the day. Similarly the team helped me understand the ferry schedule, as some tourist sites say that there are only 2 ferries a day. There’s a sign in reception which reads ‘leave as family’ I truly believe all staff believe in this motto. And as a solo traveller was made to feel completely at home here. When can I come back! :)

- The coffee is not included in free breakfast which was suprising. But you can order it so it is not such a problem. - Just a warning: There is a small beach but you can not really swim in the sea. Also there was a low tide so the sea was quite far from the beach. But I guess it depends on several factors (our last today was high tide).

- We really like the equipement. The room was clean and new. Also we appreciate that they are looking after the place and make some inovation. - I really like all the details and the whole ,,designe” of the place. - The stuff is super nice and friendly. We felt welcomed in here. - Wi-fi is great. - The location is also nice. There are several good restaurants around. - For breakfast you can chose from 6 options. And the breakfast was quite tasty.

Very accommodating staff! Clean place and great location, at the very heart of San Juan, Siquijor. The area at the beachfront is great for relaxing, even at night. I would stay here again.

A delightful experience. The property is right up against the ocean and having breakfast while watching the tide come in is amazing. The rooms were great, cool A/C and comfy beds, and most of all the staff and family that runs Swakihan were so welcoming. We were there during Christmas, away from home, and they truly made us feel like family.

I found the pillows to be uncomfortable and there was no fan in the room only AC. Also, you could not eat anything in the rooms which was slightly strange.

It was a nice place by the sea and a good option in Siquijor. There are not many options here so overall we were pretty happy.

The hot shower takes long time to heat up.

I love the place so relaxing and the vibe is great! The staff were very helpful. Facilities are good especially the toys as I have 2 kids.

The room was a little noisy, if the room had a fan this would drown out all the noise. Also the bed was very hard.

Room was lovely, location was great and the restaurant was so nice. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
