- Lora Lei (8/5): We had fun and enjoyed our stay. - Near at the port and accommodating owner. The towels are a bit short.
- Kane (7/5): -
- Dounia (10/5): Top - Très bon séjour dans cet hôtel ! Le personnel est vraiment très sympathique et accueillant, ce qui rend l’ambiance particulièrement agréable. On s’y sent presque comme en famille grâce à la convivialité des échanges. La chambre était tout à fait convenable, propre et confortable. Une belle expérience globale, l’emplacement est très bien, je recommande.
- Tiphanie (8/5): Très bon séjour - Excellent rapport qualité/prix, bon emplacement central entre Siquijor et San Juan. Les hôtes sont adorables La salle de bain pas super propre et le bruit des chiens et coqs à toute heure du jour ou de la nuit

- christine (9/5): - Bien placé entre san juan et siquijor,lits confortables, grande chambre, petit déjeuner copieux proposés.location de scooter.
- Ivan (6/5): Враження що тебе замкнули та треба перечикати - Приємний персонал та розташування недалеко від міста В туалеті проблема з дверима якщо їх зачинити то потрібно відкривати ключем з зовні. Світло у кімнаті не недостатньо, немає зручностей куди покласти речі (але є попільничка та стіл на вулиці), кімната стара (добре що не було мурах). Атмосфера не сприяє відпочинку.
- Anastassia (7/5): Simple et efficace - Possibilité de louer un scooter, personnel agréable et nous a aidé à réserver un Tuktuk, chambre propre et il y a de l’eau chaude !
Possibilité de faire la laundry (210 pesos pour 1 à 3kg) Très bruyant (coqs, chiens, AC, etc)
Un petit coup de rafraîchissement ne ferait pas de mal
- darko (8/5): -
- Agustin (8/5): Bien - Amabilidad de los caseros.
Calidad precio bastante bien Entraba mucha claridad en la habitación por la mañana, wifi no llegaba bien
- Mark (6/5): - Location is easy to find, close to downtown and just 5-minute drive to San Juan. Host/staff is accomodating and helpful. Water dispenser is a plus and the parking. Aside from AC unit there is also fan. Good value for money. Wifi is working well during our stay which is essential. Definitely booking this place again next time. Room is dusty, toilet needs futher cleaning. They might consider updating the AC with a split-type so it is quiet. They might also consider replacing their window with sliding glass panel instead of jalousy to maintain better room temperature when the AC is on.

- Nicolas (8/5): - Chambre spacieuse et bien équipée, personnel sympathique La chambre n’était pas très propre à notre arrivée
- Maksym (8/5): - Неплохой номер и низкая цена Плохой WiFi
И не удобное расположение

- Alyssa Micaela (8/5): Extremely Satisfied - It was affordable and the hosts were very accommodating. They also have solar power so you won’t feel that there’s power interruption. WiFi is also reliable and there’s free water. It’s near the port but quite far from San Juan which is our fault because we didn’t double-check ahead of time. But given the price it’s worth it.
- Nuno (9/5): -
- Anthony (7/5): Good value for money and close to the port. - We had a big room booked that was meant for 8 people but only had 2 of us. The price was great and booked on the day. Location is quite good as its within 15 mins from the port via motorcycle. The owner was very nice and accommodating. Toilet could be better. No hang points for towel and toiletries. Should be a matt inside.

- Kristine (7/5): Very basic room, good if you need to only sleep there - Good value for money A lot of noise outside because of the chickens and dogs. Wake up every night.
- Logan (9/5): Superb - I really like how this place is close to San Juan. Since it was my first time in Siquijor I really didnt know where to to stay but this is really an answered prayer as it was just a perfect location for my 4 day stay. The host is also exceptional. I was able to rent their car for days with a reasonable price, there are times I had even requested my food to be prepared since I had no time going out. It was a hassle free experience staying here!

- Benjamin (9/5): Superb - Great place. Rooms situated in a nice garden. Very quiet and peaceful. Clean, proper wifi connection, friendly and helpfull host No real food options in walking distance
- Quentin (2/5): Bad stay - Bed & pillows were okay
Wifi good We didn’t have a great stay at James.
We have been 4 weeks in Philippines, used to guesthouse filipino Style. But usually as we book , we know the state of the place , thanks to the picture and information from the owner ; so even if simple, not an issue.
Here the problem : it looked nothing alike the picture. The owner took care of taking old « okay » picture ; no picture of the bathroom
In the end :
- Really bad smell of humidity/urine ( they should know since all windows were open when we arrive )
- Room is in a really bad shapes : painting clogging everywhere ; curtains broken , holes in the wall.
- Bathroom : Not cleaned and basically full of dirts - hairs & sand, tiny , 1sqmeter, not hot water and not mentioned
- Not friendly staff. They propose to clean the bathroom when they come back a 10pm but not even a sorry, an apologize , a smile.
- AC old school and super noisy
- Window gives on old trashes behind the house ( old toilets for instance )
And the worst quality/price we had in all Philippines.
We stayed one night while booking for two , and left before the end of the stay.
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent staff with all the information needed 👌
- Jeannie (8/5): Very good -
- Emilie (8/5): Very good -
- Maryjo (10/5): Exceptional - Place is near port and the owner, Cherry is really nice with our travel arrangments. She was so kind to assist us with planning our trip. Thank you so much for the warm welcome.
- Kyra (10/5): Lovely family, we really enjoyed our stay - The family were so lovely, always happy to have a chat and advised us on the best things to do in the area and also recommended us some cafes. The room was clean and had everything we needed for a very good price. No complaints, we really enjoyed our stay.
- Christine (7/5): Good -
- Sergio (5/5): Passable -
- Joedine (8/5): Very good -
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - like home from home relax
- Cybil (10/5): Exceptional - If you’re looking for an affordable yet comfortable place to stay, this is the one for you. The room is clean and well-maintained, and the owner and her assistant are incredibly accommodating and friendly. Most importantly, the place is safe and quiet, ensuring a peaceful stay.
- Lief (8/5): Very good -
- Ellie (8/5): Good value for money - would reccomend - WiFi worked well
Can rent motorbikes
Big room
We had a fan room and they gave us 2 fans
Fan room also has own bathroom but have to walk to it
Family are lovely
Little dogs were great Fan room was really stuffy - because we used the fans to cool us down we did catch a flu so would recommend the aircon rooms
Fan room is right next to kitchen and lounge
People were cooking from 5:30/6am everyday we stayed - we would suggest not allowing cooking so early
No food or restaurants nearby so rent a bike or get a tuk tuk - breakfast is available at a fee
- Geo (5/5): Passable -
- Matt (8/5): Budget room - Staff were very nice and welcoming and were happy to hold our luggage after checkout as we had a late ferry to catch. Budget room was basic but certainly can't complain with the price. Budget room a/c struggled to cool the room during the day and the bathroom had quite a few ants in it.
- Miller (7/5): Good - Nice owner Little old, beat . Seems expensive for what you get.
- Felicity (10/5): Loved travelling round Siquijor island from here. Very easy with motor bikes tricycles or tuk tuks - Room very clean. Hosts were so kind and helpful organising motorbikes for us. We could make hot drinks from a dispensing machine which was great. Garden round accomodation was so pretty with lots of flowers. All good
- Lawrence (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marielle (7/5): Friendly staff, simple but what you need and close to the port - The staff is very friendly and interested in you. That is nice!
and it’s very close to the port yo catch the ferry. Haha we ended up having a room without AC, that was terrible. We were unlucky to get the room with AC, otherwise our stay would be way better. But due to holy week, there weren’t any options left.
- Merlina (8/5): It was good. Gerry and Cherry with their staff Sheila were very friendly and accommodating - Very convenient for our purpose One of the rooms I reserved had a bad smell and drainage in the bathroom was sluggish
- Mariana (8/5): Very good - Place was very nice and clean and location was good. Really good value for money. Didn’t have AC in the room.
- Teresa (10/5): Exceptional - The owners were very accommodating. They made our stay much more comfortable than we expected.
- Antonio (9/5): Superb -
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - The host is a very nice person both cherry and her husband are really 😎 cool Nothing really all good
- Diana (10/5): Nice and comfy place to stay - Staff is so kind and helpful. Beds are comfortable and the place is not noisy. Perfect place for resting. Puppies are so sweet and don't disturb your staying. We stayed there 5 days and we had to ask for toilet paper and a broom for cleaning the room, because they didn't do it. It would be nice if they were pending on these things.
- Luis (4/5): Disappointing - Staff is cool. People were welcoming. Unfortunately we had bed bugs and the bathroom was not clean. Room is very hot and in the middle of the house.
- Kelsey (7/5): Good -
- Sj511 (9/5): Superb -
- Tiago (10/5): Exceptional -
- Timothy (9/5): Superb - Close enough to the ferry but also secluded and off the main road so quite peaceful. Bed was very nice, bathroom was adequate and A/C worked fine. Check-in and check-out was extremely simple and quick, friendly staff running the show.
- Ingeborg (5/5): If all else is booked out... - It had a bed, a roof, a bathroom and a door Everything else
- Garrett (9/5): Superb -
- Edgar (10/5): Exceptional - What I liked about it was the location was easy access from port or tourist spots. Other things was that the staffs are very kind. I was there with my whole family and they find the place very relaxing and comfortable. And also you can rent scooter which they gave discounts if you stay there which is a good thing if your on budget. Nothing at all. Our stay there was awesome
- Lindy (9/5): Superb - Very affordable and the host was very accommodating
- Gador (6/5): Pleasant - The place is close to the town center. Internet Service is good.
- Charlene (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff, nice and quiet area, clean modern room with aircon, highly recommend !
- Carys (9/5): Superb - Good clean room, good a/c, comfy beds and good facilities (including water dispenser)
- Marion (10/5): Exceptional -
- Timothy (9/5): Only stayed one night but hosts treated us like we would be there much longer :) - Very pretty grounds. Air conditioning and hot shower. air con a little loud but not a dealbreaker!
- Kate (5/5): Passable - Owners are kinda sensitive to kids.They should have informed us ahead of that rule.But still good value for money..Although 20min drive from attractions,but motorcycle is very convenient as mode of transportation
- Cristie (10/5): Exceptional - Amenities are complete and clean; and most of all the owners are very welcoming and kind. They made sure to pick us up as we arrive and we are free to use their dining. Thank you so much!
- Mary (10/5): We enjoy our stay and trip in Siquijor and highly recommend. Looking forward to visit and stay again - Our Siquijor trip is a blast and part of it is having a lovely accommodation (feels like home). The staff and owner are very helpful and show real hospitality to us. If you're a dog person, you'll have a chance to meet their furbaby Hersey <3. They even accommodate our request for another stay due to the boat trip cancellation (Going back to DGT). We'll be going back to Siquijor since we haven't done exploring it and will not hesitate to stay again with James Homestay. The location is very near to the port area which makes it easy to move around. The location was a signal dead zone but they have strong internet connections to compensate, we just have a minor issue encountered when we try doing transactions that need mobile signals like receiving OTP which can be done when you go to the area w/ signal.
- Ronald (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gemma (7/5): Good - lovely staff and really helpful really hot if you didn’t get the air con
- Pyry (8/5): Very good - Hosts were great, cheap motorbike rental, quite good location in terms of the whole island and easy to get to from the port, free drinking water The usual in cheap stays; ants, towel was not great, only cold and cool water in the shower
