La Ven Guesthouse

+ Lovely ladies running the place, always helpful and accommodating. + Very good value for the island : own bathroom and toilets, decent water pressure in shower, A/C (Filipino style), large bedroom, comfy bed + Close to beachfront and centrally located within San Juan area

- No hot water (I know, who needs hot water when it is 30°C outside...) - Sink has very little pressure (you can always use the faucet from the shower) - No generator: during my stay, electricity on Siquijor was scarce, only working on and off for a few hours making it challenging to charge phones and enjoy A/C

Location and staff

No power generator, no power during check in around 10AM until 10PM. Electricity back at 10PM and off again at 11PM until 3AM. So we had to open the door to get some air. If this is an issue atleast then have a standby chargable fan with light.

Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Room size was good

Loud air con, cleanliness wasn't the best, and ants everywhere...

No hot water in one of the rooms. That should have been mentioned on booking in advance. Dirty room full of ants and I found two cockroaches. Uncomfortable beds and bad lighting

Located in the heart of San Juan, but quiet in the evenings. Close to bakery, supermarket, and good restaurants. Beach and food market two minutes away. Room was as described. Good a/c, clean and comfortable (but simple). No insects in the room apart from a few harmless ants by the big sink. Good water pressure (cold water only). Free drinking water. I had an accident with a moped and the lady who manages the guest house was super kind and helpful whilst I was recovering.

Nothing

good, located at heart of siquijor lol
