Sehr saubere Unterkunft. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Sehr gutes Essen.

− Man muss sich bewusst sein, dass die Lage nicht sehr zentral ist. Es braucht fasst zwingend einen Roller um in die Stadt zu gelangen. Aber eigentlich ist eine rollermiete sowieso sehr sinnvoll. Und mit dem roller ist es dann auch kein Problem in die Stadt, Cloud9, usw. zu gelangen.

Lovely hostel! Amazing hosts! Restaurant waiting staff attitude needs improving.

Sir JJ and Gino were great hosts, providing recommendations on what you can do around the island and help when requested. They helped with arranging transport from and to the airport and also arranged motorbike for me to use to go around the island. Their restaurant in the location serves great food and great atmosphere. On the nights, the area was very peaceful, and I was able to get a good night sleep. Also very close to the beach, mini-shops, cafés and walkable distance.

− On few occasions, I would order food or drinks and let them know I will just drop my items in the room and come back but when I came back for my order, it wasn't passed on to the kitchen staff at all. Other than that, everything is more than satisfactory.

Recommended and quieter stay in siargao

Room with AC and a balcony all for us. There was also a mini fridge to keep water fresh. Good private bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended. Very close to Ocean9 beach which is way better and less crowded than the more famous Cloud9 beach.

− The position is 15 minutes by scooter from general Luna which is not necessarily bad because the neighbourhood is quieter but you need to drive every time you leave the place. No hot water, but manageable. Sometimes there could be electricity blackouts for a few minutes. It happened 3 times and the owner has a generator in case the cut lasts too long. It's quite normal in siargao.

Very good

I highly recommend this place! We had been looking for something a bit outside of GL and Haole was just perfect. The host was incredibly kind, gave us perfect tips in perfect english. During our stay there was a brief time without water, which the host immediately had fixed for us. The room was super clean and amazing for us, with a shared terrace with freezer, water-refill, a darts game and plenty of space to hang out. The rest of the staff was also super kind. They are handling both the hostel and a restaurant downstairs, which is also very nice! They even fried some eggs that we brought ourselves, as for vegetarians the restaurant does not have that many options. 5 min by scooter from the hostel (bumpy road) there is a beautiful beach (Oceans 9) with a beginner friendly surf spot (beach break, left wave). I have to say, you do need a scooter in this area, distances too far to walk everything.

− Nothing, it was perfect!
