Guest Reviews

• Ma Jennalyn (10/5): - The owner was so kind during my stay and I enjoyed the place so much!
• AMANDINE (1/5): - J’ai envoyé plusieurs messages, je n’ai jamais eu aucune réponse. Une première fois j’ai envoyé un msg pour décaler nos nuits d’un jour, 0 réponse. Quelques mois plus tard j’ai appris une maladie et que je ne pouvais plus voyager. J’ai donc demandé s’il était possible d’annuler avec un petit geste de leur part même s’il y avait un peu de frais, on aurait pu trouver un accord, 0 réponse. Avec mon compagnon nous avons décidé de ne pas annuler l’hôtel car il aurait encaissé l’argent et aurait relouer la chambre sûrement. Nous avons reçu tout les messages automatiques « le check out est à tel heure » « nous sommes heureux de vous avoir accueilli » Vraiment 0 en communication, 0 en humanité.

• Joona (10/5): Easy place to stay in tangbo - Nice and relax location to stay. Good kitchen, private room and owners are most helpfull persons!
• Vendela (10/5): Väldigt trevliga, allihopa. De hjälpte oss hyra moppar, hittade instruktörer till surfning och på 10 minuter var instruk - Otroligt mysigt. Det kändes som att man hade kommit hem. Väldigt välkomnade och man kände sig väldigt bekväm.
• Naoya (10/5): おすすめします！ - 親切なホストファミリーと可愛い犬 特になし
• Harold (9/5): Veel leuker dan een hotel! - Mama is fantastisch. Haar eten was heerlijk en ze had leuke verhalen en goede tips. Ga hierheen voor een unieke ervaring! Het was er heel schoon en we hebben heerlijk geslapen. De kamer was heel basic maar voor ons prima voor een nachtje in het noorden.
• Juliane (10/5): - Best homestay! Mama is an amazing cook and so friendly! I loved the family dinner. Food facilities and comfortable bed. Lovely area close to the beaches of the north. A quick ride to burgos with a nice bar and come cafes. It's a great, calm area where everyone is super friendly.
• Nick (10/5): Schönes Homestay im Norden - Sehr gute Lage im Norden der Insel. Private Zimmer, Klimaanlage, Parking für Scooter. Einen Abend gab es ein Family-Dinner von Mama gekocht. Yum!
• Jennie (10/5): Hayahay in Masayay!!! - We like Auntie's food, unlimited🥰. She is so kind and very approachable, also her son, Beboy, who guided us to nearby tourist spots and answers to all our queries in detail. When we arrived, our welcome was very Filipino, we were treated the same as other guests (foreigners). All the amenities were readily available when we needed it. It is very homey, a great & safe place to stay far from the busy streets of the central area. We highly recommend this homestay. Definitely booking again here soon with my friends or family. Nothing in particular. Everything is perfect!
• Sonntag (10/5): - Super nice family, big room and beds. Very clean. Wifi perfect. Would definitely come again
• Charlesworth (10/5): the perfect stay - we loved our stay with Masayay!! mama, papa, and Bboy all went so out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. they upgraded us to the biggest room, mama was so kind to do our laundry, and papa drove us into town to the ATM. this is a really special and authentic place—i wouldn’t stay anywhere else in the north. best wifi we’ve had all trip, really clean rooms, plus mama cooked us the most delicious dinner! support an amazing family business and stay here—you won’t regret it. oh, and they currently have the cutest and sweetest puppies ever here!!! nothing—it was everything we needed and more

• Gael R (10/5): - Nous avons passé trois jours magiques en famille à Masayay Homestay, dans le nord de Siargao. Dès notre arrivée, Mama nous a accueillis comme des membres de sa famille : ses plats maison étaient délicieux, et son hospitalité incroyablement chaleureuse. Nous nous sommes sentis chez nous dès le premier instant ! L’emplacement est parfait : à quelques centaines de mètres du spot de surf de Tangbo, et à moins d’un kilomètre des plages et restaurants d’Alegria. Mama a même organisé pour nous la location d’un scooter, livré directement à l’homestay. Les trois jours sont passés bien trop vite, et nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps. C’était sans doute l’un des plus beaux moments de notre voyage aux Philippines.
• Mari (10/5): - It was so nice to stay with mama and family! I felt very at home and it was exactly what I was looking for from a homestay with a local family. It was so nice to have a kitchen to cook in and I enjoyed the other guests staying at the homestay as well. I’ll definitely be back if I go back to siargao!
• Staikos (6/5): -
• Rivka (10/5): Echt een heel leuk (en brandschoon) verblijf bij een hele hartelijke gastvrouw! - Echt een heel leuk (en brandschoon) verblijf bij een hele hartelijke gastvrouw. Je hebt echt het idee dat je bent logeren bij iemand thuis, ze maakt haar bijnaam 'mama' helemaal waar. De andere gasten bij dit verblijf waren ook heel vriendelijk en zeiden elkaar gedag, maar er waren verder geen sociale verwachtingen. Bonus: lieve puppies! Zou hier zeker verblijven, perfecte prijs/kwaliteit verhouding! -
• Natalia (8/5): Repetiría sin duda - La disponibilidad del personal 24/7 Todo genial
• Noam (10/5): - לינה פשוטה ומקסימה ממש, נקייה ונעימה, עם בעלת בית מהממת שתעזור בכל דבר, בישלה לנו ארוחת ערב ובוקר
• Noemi (9/5): -
• Laura (10/5): Felt like we were at home for a family dinner for the night we stayed🧡 - We loved how mama made us feel like home. She cooked for us the most delicious homemade dinner and taught us next day how to cook it! The place was super clean and we felt really comfortable. Location is quite but it was what we were looking for. Ac worked perfectly too! A simple but great accomodation!
• Claire (8/5): -
• Olav (8/5): High value for low cost - We had a great time at Masayay Homestay! Super close to Tangbo Beach to surf. The staff felt more like a family than staff and was super helpful with everything. We could also order dinner at the homestay, and it was very good. I highly reccomend!
• Gregory (10/5): Great place to stay in the north of Siargao. - Nice comfortable and quiet room in a quiet area of Siargao. Not far away from beautiful beaches and good restaurants. Mama and staff were all very friendly and helpful...definitely would stay again.
• nagaraja (10/5): -
• Jamie Lee (9/5): It was so so so nice!!! - The location is fantastic and the family are so kind and accommodating :) I think maybe the bathroom could be improved a little but other than that it’s so lovely.
• Daphne (10/5): -
• Hila (9/5): -
• Boekel (8/5): - Fijn om hier weer terug te komen, lieve mensen en rustige ruime kamer. Geen wastafel in de douche
• Alena (10/5): Everything was close to the accommodation - The stay was amazing, the host’s son showed us all the great places right after our arrival. They also invited us to dinner. Everything was wonderful. The room was clean and nice. Everyone was extremely kind to us. We were very satisfied. Nothing
• Job (9/5): Perfect stay for a more authentic experience - It was a great experience to be hosted by this wonderful family in this remote location of Siargao. The area is absolutely beautiful with white sand beaches lined with coconut trees. Bathroom is a bit basic
• Jacqueline (10/5): This was the best homestay I’ve ever stayed in! The Escobals are such a kind family who welcomed is in like family. Will -
• Lorea (10/5): -
• Cécile (10/5): - La tranquilité et l'hospitalité de Bboi et sa maman 🙂
• Valentina (6/5): - Carino , ma sopravvalutato
• Aitana (10/5): Would 100% come back - Super clean, AC, mama and B-boy were so nice and helpful, amazing beaches nearby nothing
• Raymond (10/5): I had a great stay! The place was very clean and well-maintained. There were no issues with water or electricity during - Big kitchen
• Gary (10/5): Wonderful stay. Will come again. - Peaceful location, near the beach. Decent cooking facilities and a wonderful host family. Good WiFi provided. Water in room.
• James (10/5): Excellent, clean and homely stay, would recommend. - Extremely friendly family running the homestay. Very helpful arranging scooter rental and transfers. The location is very peaceful, local vibes and near some great natural beauty spots. Multiple local shops nearby for essentials. Thanks for a great stay. Barely crossed paths with other guests so felt like we had the house to ourselves, as the family have a separate house. Very useful large bucket for handwashing clothes in the bathroom. Power would trip out a few times, but this is quite common on the island.
• Mendonça (8/5): Very good -
• Verena (10/5): One of the best accommodations! - It was the best decision to book this accommodation. Everything was very clean and spacious. The family is very friendly and helpful. We even celebrated Easter together on the beach, and the mother had cooked for all! It was a wonderful experience, and I am very grateful to have been a guest here. Bboy took the time to arrange a tuk tuk for me and another traveler and explained everything clearly. It was a great experience and I would come back anytime.
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location just outside Alegeria. Family was very warm and welcoming even invited me out for Sunday lunch near the beach. Was a memorable stay. Well worth staying here. Nothing
• Leila (10/5): Excellent experience in the north - I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay with this amazing family in Northern Siargao for 4 nights. They were incredibly hospitable and welcoming, and we shared so many wonderful moments together. Fe's cooking was delicious and always made us feel at home. Bboy was the ultimate tour guide and helper - he booked our tours, arranged transportation, and was always there to lend a hand. Migs was also super chill and helpful, and the whole family, including the dad and Leah, made us feel like part of the family. The Northern part of the island is so authentic and unspoiled, and staying with this family allowed us to truly experience the local way of life. It's not a luxurious setup, but that's part of its charm. If you're looking for an immersive and authentic Siargao experience, I highly recommend staying with this family. They're a divine family who will make you feel like you're home. I loved everything but you need a scooter to move (you have 2/3 beaches within walking distance and 2 restaurants)
• Itamar (10/5): Exceptional - One of the best homestay ever The family is super nice. Ask mama to cock dinner its amazing

• Michael (10/5): Amazing family. Great vibes. Everything you could need for your surf trip or visit to the North. I will be back! - Amazing Family. Great vibes. Everything you need for your surf trip!
• Gloria (10/5): Lovely homestay! - Easy to access location, walking distance to several beautiful beaches and a short drive to nearby attractions. Friendly and kind hosts, the home-cooked dinner is not to be missed. Very clean and safe, family atmosphere. Starlink worked great, which was good because we did not get cell reception. Nice common area and kitchen to prepare your own meals or meet other travelers. I only wish we could have stayed longer! The water pressure from the shower was very weak, but a large bucket and tabo were provided and worked for bathing.
• Steurer (10/5): marvellous location and amazing service - marvellous location and a very generous and friendly service. Further the equipment of the room was overwhelming, particularly the shape and comfortability of the bed
• Niño (10/5): Nice and confortable . - The room is big and cleaned. None

• Ghibert (10/5): Amazing - Super nice staff, amazing room, very clean and lot of space for the price
• Cherubim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Culler (10/5): Clean and Welcoming - The staff was so helpful and friendly. Telling us all the best places to go and even referring us to a great surf instructor.
• Shantha (9/5): Nice place to stay - The location is quit and far away from main city area. Nice beaches around They have kitchen and can cook our own foods Owner is very helpful and not trying to cheat visitors
• Lee (10/5): Excellent place to stay to visit northern Siargao - A lovely, clean room in a great location. But what makes the homestay is the people; the hosts were friendly and helpful and cooked delicious food most nights, which they were more than happy to share with guests. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Masayay.
• Graeme (10/5): Unbelievable - Everything. The family are the best and for this reason I have extended my stay for a extra 69 days. The food that Mama makes is incredible. ❤️ Nothing
• Jason (10/5): Exceptional - Great homestay. Great hosts. Best meal I ate in the Philippines. It was lovely to sit around the family table. It's worth the visit. Nothing
• Mira (10/5): Lovely family - Everything was great, the family were SO lovely and friendly. You can pay a tiny bit extra to have dinner together with them. They have a few rooms so there was other travellers there too and a nice big spaces outside to hang out. The bed was comfy, they have free water, you can use they kitchen and then can arrange everything there like surf lessons and scooter etc for a good price. Everything was great!
• Sophie (10/5): Just perfect! - Everything. I just felt so welcomed right away! The stuff is outstanding friendly & awesome! Best homestay I ever stayed! ❤️ Nothing
• Krisca (10/5): Protect this Family at all cost - Wow, this booking was the best we have ever made ever! From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome and were treated like family, we never felt like strangers. They even took us to a local fiesta to experience the neighborhood tradition, to eat in different houses. The internet was strong, and Mama Fe always cooked delicious meals for us, as we ate as a family. The location was perfect, with beaches and cafes within walking distance. If you're looking for a peaceful stay away from the crowded areas, this is the place to be! We not only met friends but also felt like we became part of a new family. Originally planning to stay for only 5 nights, we ended up extending our stay just to be with them. The entire Escobal family, including Leemark, Migs, Mama and Papa, are truly gems of Siargao. They are incredibly kind-hearted people who made us feel at home away from home. Leaving. ☹️ We all felt, we left our family.
• Kalle (10/5): Exceptional - Best homestay i've stayed in, in SE asia. People say Filipino people are the kindest, most hospitable people and the family running Masayay are the epitome of that. Highly recommend. Good wifi, clean. Zero issues and lovely people
• James (10/5): Pure wholesome joy - Amazing. There are so many great points about this place. Location wise, it's walking to the beach, super close to sunset and surf spots. Great cafes nearby. The family are the most lovely people. Mumma is the greatest cook! They are happy to involve you and show you around. Nothing is too much. I was very sad the day I left here..... I will be back! Not a thing I didn't like.
• Sam (10/5): Coming home - What an amazing place this is! The place feels like home. By far my best experience in a homestay ever. Thank you for the hospitality ❤️
• Eve (10/5): Such a wholesome stay - The family that you stay with is so helpful and friendly, you will feel right at home! The location is perfect, very quiet and close to two surf spots and beautiful beaches. Dinner with the family was amazing and this was an experience I will cherish forever!
