Abejo Homestay

Rooms are spacious and clean. Solar fans work well, not hot at night even in hot season. To charge you have to give your staff to the owners. Water available for a small fee. Hot water and coffee in the morning and we got a fresh coconut. Owner is amazing, very friendly, gives local recommendations. Beach is only two streets away, as well as dive shops and restaurants. Very good value for money!

Nous avons retrouvé notre maman des Philippines! Elle était très gentille et était toujours à notre disposition quand nous avons eu besoin d’elle ! Le logement est vraiment top pour le prix qu’ils proposent. Très calme ! Merci beaucoup maman !

Very friendly and helpful host. I asked for hot water and since then every morning there was a thermosflask with hot water plus instant coffee waiting when I woke up. When I asked where to find a place to have dinner someone actually gave me a ride on a scooter to get there. I also liked being part of the Philippino life, with chickens, cats, and dogs roaming around and seeing the daily life of kids going to school, etc.

During my stay the powerplugs in the room didn't work but the host offered to recharge my batteries from their home next door using her solar panels. The 'fun of daily Philippino life" includes church bells at 6am and roosters waking up even earlier. Not complaining, but properties along the beach are likely quieter.

We had such a lovely stay at Norma’s homestay. The place itself is simple and basic, but it has everything you need, and what truly makes it special is Norma. From the moment we arrived, she made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. You can really feel that she hosts from the heart. She even let us taste the mangos she and her husband grow, which was such a sweet and personal touch. On our last morning, after a really nice conversation, she sent us off with fresh coconut water for the road. It felt so warm and thoughtful. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a simple, authentic, and heartfelt experience

Pretty basic, no hot shower.

Clean and friendly owner.

Not so near the dive shop.

Friendly host. Accommodation right in the middle of the village. Comfortable mattress. Despite some troubles with electricity in the village, due to the typhoon, fans and lights in the room were working so we had a very good sleep

Great accommodation, very centrally located in a friendly neighborhood and just a 3-minute walk from the beach. The room has everything you need, comfortable beds and it was clean. Thanks to the solar panel, there's 24-hour power for the fan etc. (it was never a problem that electricity in Sibaltan is only available from 5 pm to 10 pm). Norma, the host, is the highlight of the accommodation; she and her husband were by far the best hosts of my trip to the Philippines. Norma is very helpful; she helped me with any problems during my stay and with organizing my onward journey, and she was always there when I needed anything. I was also able to learn a lot about Filipino culture, as she was very communicative and interested, and speaks very good English.

Walking distance to the beach! A bit of noise at night and early morning, but we’re used to the roosters and dogs. Good amount of space in the room and wasn’t hot at night.
