Higala Hostel Siargao

There is renovation going on. When we reported an issue they didn’t take it seriously. Although the staff was a friendly it was not a great experience.

Location is great

Nothing, worst experience in my life

This isnt hostel, this is joke for hospitality and great example of ignorance and scam. Do yourself a favour and find better place than this overpriced “shelter”. Photos of the hostel on airbnb or on booking were clearly taken many years ago, when the hostel could be okey. For the amount you will get very dirty rooms, holes in the ceiling and walls. On top of that there isn’t any service, starting with airport transfer, air condition or cleaning rooms etc, which they are offering in booking or Airbnb. The hostel is located in a swampy region of Siargao so you have lot of things to do with mosquitoes. Next to the hostel is also construction, so you will hear construction workers from 5 am until afternoon and on top of that you will have also great experience with the farm next to the hostel where rooters are getting crazy. On the backyard you will find all the stuff lying around, including a bin bag full of waste sitting on the kitchen counter and heavy smell of the mess in the kitchen. The hostel isn’t ready for any guest, the owner is selfish ignorant who don’t have clearly any experiences with hospitality and he isn’t able to run the business. If you are also looking forward to meet another people from different counties of the world, you won’t. You will have only a chance to get know owners parents. We had amazing experiences over our trip in Philippines but this isn’t representing the kindness and services of Philippino people. Clear robbery.

The host is very accomodating and the place is aesthetic.

It just the mosquitos on the area

Location to surf breaks and places to eat. Good facilities in the shared kitchen. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Very cozy, safe and clean. All staffs are kind and approachable specially the owner ☺️. Highly recommended. ❤️

Nothing.

We love everything!! The property has this super island vibe that we loved! Everything was clean. Everything is complete like clean sheets,tissues,towels and all kitchen utensils. The property was also very spacious,

Nothing.

I like the place its very quite and relaxing.
