A-rena Homestay

פעם שנייה שלי מטורף

All, was very comfortable place and very kindly owner!

Nous avons séjourné dans plusieurs logements à General Luna, et celui-ci est de loin le meilleur, tant pour son confort, la qualité du sommeil que pour son excellent rapport qualité-prix. Le studio est spacieux (chambre avec salle de bain et salon) et bien insonorisé (vous ne serez pas réveillé par le chant des coqs ou les aboiements de chiens). Le personnel est très sympathique et accueillant. Je recommande vivement !

Petite suggestion d’amélioration : ajouter du savon pour les mains et prévoir un réfrigérateur afin de pouvoir garder les gourdes au frais.

The place itself was big enough, clean, the AC worked perfectly. A Shoutout to Grace (The receptionist), she was always there for me and made my stay more than comfortable. She organized tours and even my transport to the airport to leave the place at 4 am. I would definitely come back and stay here. The breakfast was very good quality and the portion big enough.

- The room looks decent and it’s nice to have your own livingroom -the kitchen is well equipped, but need to make sure you rinse everything before use. We did find moldy kitchen ustencils and the mat to dry the glasses was full of maggots one day (ok, this could go to the cons side too) -the mattress is really comfortable -you can use the washing machine for only 50pesos if you have your own detergent

-the bathroom door just has a sign to not close it, but you cannot poop with the door open; when you want to open it you put your finger in that hole and you can get cut very easily. -the bathroom smells bad from the pipes -the shower head was already cracked when we arrived and in a few days broke for good. We went to buy a new shower head by ourselves, but the shower set was so old, we couldn’t fix it. Their solution? “Sorry? We cannot fix it!” So we showered for 2 weeks with the hose, like you would wash a car -cold shower! Yes, if the power goes out, the shower heater resets and they have to start it manually. I’ve asked 3 times to start it and waited from 11am till 2pm to get it started. I was dirty and sweaty from the gym and just had to wait for them to come home and do it. - when the electricity is out, the shower water doesn’t have any pressure as well, is not only cold. -the room was cleaned only once in 1 month, and just because of e asked. How is the room cleaned? Just a swipe of the floor, that’s it! And I could swear it looked the same as before. -if you ask to unclog the drain or change the towels, they’ll do only that, even though the rest needs cleaning or the garbage empty. -the generator schedule is not respected. So, if the electricity goes out they have a generator, but they don’t use it all the time as is mentioned on their schedule. So from 1pm-6pm they won’t start it. But today, the electricity when out since 11 and they didn’t start it till 1pm how it was mentioned. -the starlink internet is not great and it doesn’t get to all rooms. We used our own internet cable directly from the router and it was decent the speed. Room 4 gets the wifi signal but the room 5 doesn’t get it at all. -the bathroom is not properly cleaned, not even after the e asked for it (please see the picture) -there is no process regarding the cleanness and maintenance.

Nice and spacious room. Nice to hang out in on a rainy day. Super clean, close to the main road and the bed was so comfy!! I would definitely stay here ago!

There is a kettle in the room but there were no cups or glasses in the room. After asking the staff I got a cup but I would say that should be in the room standard.

Hidden gem in the best location in GL, close to everything and paceful as it is not in the main road. Roomy, clean and well equipped. The family running the place is super helpful and welcoming :)

It's really a good stay, especially for that money! Probably best value-for-money around. Really comfy bed, good, quiet split-type/inverter A/C, generally quiet location, yet pretty close from everything you need.

Cleanliness could be improved. But nothing serious to truly complain about. I enjoyed my stay pretty much! So thank you!

Everything was fine.

This homestay has been a great surprise. It's not the first time that I have gone to Siargao, and this has been by far the best place I've been staying. Good location, big room, bed extremely comfortable, and the staff very friendly and helpful.

The only small problem was the lock of the bathroom that wasn't working.
