400 metres from General Luna Beach, Araw Boutique is a recently renovated property located in General Luna and provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. The 4-star homestay features garden views and is 2.6 km from Malinao Beach. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. I just stayed at ARAW and honestly, I didn’t expect this room to be that good. At first glance, the photos make it seem small but once you’re inside, you get it. The room is long, clean, quiet, and super cold (thank God for the A/C). It’s about 2 meters wide and 6 meters long which sounds narrow, but the layout actually works really well. It feels private, comfortable, and somehow calming. The bed? Super comfortable, firm but soft in all the right ways. Slept like a rock every night. What really stood out though is how clean everything was. You can tell they really care. Even the house rules were clear, helpful, and made sense not like those weird “don’t breathe” lists you find in other places. The WiFi was fast, no issues I was working and streaming during my stay. Their scooter rental was also a huge plus the scooter is literally brand new, rides smooth, and cheaper than anything I found in town. And the host… wow. You don’t feel like a stranger here. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was being welcomed home. Everything was easy, warm, and respectful. No weird small talk, no pressure. Just real human energy and genuine care. Location-wise, it’s in a great spot close to everything but peaceful. If you’re coming to Siargao and want something clean, quiet, and really well-managed without spending a fortune this is it.

Located on the beachfront in Mambajao, Shey's Travellers Inn features a shared lounge. This homestay provides free private parking and a shared kitchen. The homestay has family rooms.

All units comprise a seating area, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with various cooking facilities, including a microwave, a toaster, a fridge and a stovetop. Every unit has a kettle, a shared bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms include a terrace and some have sea views. At the homestay, every unit comes with bed linen and towels. This place is a jewel! Abigail and the rest of the family are the sweetest people, so generous and working hard to make the guests feel comfortable. The common areas are located on the waterfront, it’s so relaxing. A social yet calm vibe, with guests from all ages. Great to have access to the kitchen, I cooked most of my meals. And the whole place is kept super clean at all times. A small tip: it quickly books out, but due to transport issues it happened several times during my stay that there were unoccupied beds. It could be worth inquiring on the day if you couldn’t get a spot.

At the homestay, every unit is equipped with a desk. Every unit includes a kettle and a private bathroom with a shower and a hair dryer, while selected rooms come with a fully equipped kitchen equipped with a fridge. At the homestay, every unit comes with bed linen and towels. Our stay at Mantaray really exceeded expectations. The place is a combination of a boutique hotel and an "airbnb". The room was beautiful and had everything we needed and more. The house is one of the most beautiful houses I've seen and is right on the beach. We saw the most amazing sunrises. Joseph, Elvira and Lala the hosts quickly became like family. They made sure our stay was smooth and helped so much with optimizing our planning. If you're checking this place - don't hesitate to book, no way you'll regret it.

Set within 25 km of Magpupungko Rock Pools and 31 km of Naked Island, Deja Homestay Siargao offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Del Carmen. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Guests can make use of a terrace. Spotlessly clean! The room smell very good. Comfy bed, free toiletries, free refillable water. No moldy smell in the room (which is actually common in tropical areas). Great AC. The shower had a very strong pressure, the best so far we found in the Philippines. Staff extremely welcoming and willing to help. They let us check-in early and we could also stay one hour more after check out time. I can’t recommend this place enough! Don’t hesitate to book this place.
