Matam-is Cafe & Homestay

We enjoyed our stay in Matam-is. The staff, even the owners, were very accommodating. They assisted us throughout our stay and not only that, they gave us tips on places to visit and dine at. They checked in on us every now and then and they acted swiftly on requests we have provided. Lastly, we had a chance to try the food and beverage at the newly opened Matam-is Cafe - definitely worth coming back to!

Location is walking distance to Kermit (good food), Eskapo (gym) and to Tourism Road where most of the restaurants and shops are located. Owner and caretaker are also responsible and responsive. Just one call/chat with the caretaker/owner and he'll already arrive to fix the issue. Bed is comfortable and the hygiene products (including dental) are complete. Internet is also fast and they have generator when electricity fluctuates.

Electricity on the island is not really consistent (i guess current infrastructure is not yet prepared for the unexpected boom of tourism industry). This is beyond the control of the homestay so guests need to be extra patient and prepared (charged gadgets) with the sudden fluctuations that may last up to an hour. Caretaker only stays until 5pm so beyond that time, either the guest has to fix his/her issue on their own or wait for the caretaker to arrive (owner may prompt caretaker to go back when there are emergencies e.g. need to turn the generator on). Space in the room is also a bit tight. Just good for solo and couple.

Very small scale accommodation. Free drinking / hot water. Well maintained. Good shower. Solution (fan / light) for brownout situations. Friendly owner.

Even though it is not along the main road, there is still quite some noise from traffic.

It was a place where you will always remember why you visit Siargao. If you want to sleep after a long day then this place is the best

Amazing customer service. The staff were so helpful and kind. The room was comfortable and clean. Good value for money.

Very pleasant stay. Nice owner and staff. They arrange you a scooter for good price. Quiet situated but in middle of GL.
