Higala Hostel Siargao

cheap

the property was not well maintained, the bathroom stinks and the caretaker is always away so if you need assistance it will be hard. Misleading photos in the listing. the room doesn’t look like that in person.

Staff are friendly

None

The room had a normal size and it was quite clean. It is very basic and apart from the beds, one table and one item to hang clothes there was nothing more. The checkin was quick, we arrived and they dropped us the key as they were in the common area. The bathroom was quite simple, but at least in decent condition. Water was not flowing much from the shower, there was no pressure.

The common area was really different from what I saw in the pictures. All rotten, mold, dirty and almost nothing usable at disposal of guests. I opened the kitchen doors and I found that inside was disgusting, cockroaches, dirty items hidden there. I left one little bag with my food at night close to the microwave and the morning after was disappeared, I also asked what was the wifi to the stuff, they replied saying you can try with a password but they didn't say which wifi I was supposed to use. After that they never answered anymore.

Comfy rooms, lots of fresh air. great location next to an awesome BBQ restaurant.

Kitchen has seen better days.

Helpful host, good area & close to most things, especially with moped that can be rented from the hostel

Pretty humid in the room even if the ac was good, bright in the mornings because of light curtains

The room was clean and as spacious as advertised. AC worked nicely. Bathroom is big, clean and everything works. There is a little kitchen and a drinkung water station.

It was a difficult to get a hang of the staff, there was no reception. All the decoration from the photos were missing, therefore the atmosphere of the room was not so nice.

The location was close to restaurants and facilities

We arrived for the check in. Nobody welcomed us to explain where was our room. They had no key to lock our door. So we decided to change our hotel, staying 1 night instead of 5.
