    The wifi is quite poor and cuts out at times.

    Spacious room with a comfortable bed and good air conditioning. They also provided unlimited drinking water in the room, which was awesome. Elaine was quick to answer any questions I had over WhatsApp.

    This place is such a gem!!! They are the sweetest people, so happy and helpful during our stay! We loved it here so much and would love to come back one day. The rooms are clean and spacious, easy shuttle to the pier! Location is around a 10/15 minute walk but we rented a bike the whole time so wasn’t an issue! Free water too which is such a bonus.

    Keep in mind that you need transportation in Siquijor. It's spread out and not a place to walk

    Very friendly and nice. Very responsive and helpful.

    Occasional electricity failure but no blame to the owner. This is the case sometimes to an island.

    The room is spacious, clean, strong water, with aircon and electric fan.

    The property is very clean and big, you have AC and warm water and a little terrace. It’s in a quiet area and you’re on the main road within a few minutes. The staff is exceptional, Elaine and her nephew Justin are the cutest hosts, always there to help, very welcoming and friendly! For the birthday of my friend they have organised a cake and balloons in the room after I told them about the birthday, it was so kind! Thank you so much again ❤️

    The shower water pressure was minimal for a few of the days however we were made aware of this when we checked in, so it was ok!

    The staff was lovely! Helped us with a bike rental as well as a tricycle back to the port. Great location, walking distance to lots of restaraunts. Spacious room

    Great location, the property was super clean and bed was really comfy. We had a great shower with hot water. One member of staff made our stay so special, I sadly didn’t get his name but he would be working during the day and always greeted us with the biggest smile and helped us with anything we needed, they really went above and beyond for it:) would 100% stay again

    A/C could do a bit better, but still okay. They could upgrade the curtains. It's very light inside even when it's dark outside (also because of the lighting outside). All in all very good if you ask me.

    The staff is really kind and helpful. There was some trouble with the water, but they solved it in a good way for us! They also didn't make a fuss about potentially cancelling the booking because of the water problem, but luckily that was not necessary :). The rooms are big and the shower is fine. They can arrange motorbikes and pickup and drop off at either of the piers

    Some pics are exaggerated, specially the yard is not as big and beautiful as shown.

    It is very near to San Juan main road and some restaurants. Very very clean roons, good shower, wifi and room facilities.

    The only downside is that I had booked another room but I was transferred to another one with an inferior AC. Other than it was a pleasant stay.

    The staff is very friendly and helpful, the location is also good. Close to the town center yet calm.

    Place was very clean. Staff is very thoughtful!! It’s from walking distance from restaurants. They have scooters for rent, can arrange pick-ups (they have a cool jeepney) and several daytours. Room is spacious and has nice extra’s like free water and handy kitchen utensils. Nice little place to sit outside at your own dek.

    Low water pressure in shower.

    Elaine and her team are very nice and friendly. Easy to chat to and will help with questions. We had a very spacious room with a small kitchenette and drinking water dispenser. The location is quiet (though up a hill if you're walking from town). Air-con was noisy but worked well. The island is prone to power outages so we couldn't always use the air-con. Wifi worked well in the room. At the back, there is an area guests can use to hand wash clothes and a drying line at the side of the building or you can hang wet clothing in your personal balcony area. No issue with ants in our room.

    Beautiful individual studio type accommodation, large bathroom with hot water, they even provide drinking water for free! The house was so pretty and so spacious, the garden is really well maintained and the bed was very comfortable. They were also really helpful when we were trying to find out the times and routes for ferries for our onward travel.
