Callachuchi Homestay

It was a nice and comfortable room with amenities needed for a comfortable stay. They also made available a scooter rental at a very affordable rate.

Everything was great other than it is a walk down to the property from the main road. It was not a problem but I did have large suitcases I would have left in Dumaguete if I had known.

We liked the hosts, they were kind

Bedbugs in the rooms, got bitten a lot. There were also cockroaches. The bed was a bit uncomfortable and we were waking up several times during the night because of some very noisy bird and also around 5 am it was getting too hot in the room, I think the air conditioning is automated to switch off at 5 am ( you can't control the air conditioning). No hot water during the evening and you can't control temperature of water at all. Location is a bit far from beaches and waterfalls.

Michelle and her sister were awesome hosts. They really cared about me and were helpful in any way. The room is very spacious and has a roof top terrace with a splendid view on the ocean. The place uses solar energy for everything so there was no risk if the electricity brakes down what happens on Siquor Island quite often. So I always had internet :-) The place is very quite. Perfect to relax and chill. They only rent out this one bungalow so you are there on your own with Michelle's family.

Mechelle and her family are super nice and friendly, they helped us with transportation to Siquijor port and to rent a motorbike (that is a must given the remote location). In front of the property there is a beach full of marine life perfect for a private snorkeling session at sunset (amazing experience), but bring proper shoes as there are plenty of urchins. The pets are very cute and special: the cats, the rabbits and the lovely new entry dog (04/2025) The facilities are also very good: The swimming pool is perfect to relax, the balcony has a great view on the sunset and the detached room with bathroom (perfect for privacy) was spacious and clean. Airco and WiFi worked very well, and there was a water dispenser with filtered water and a fridge.

I’m not sure I have enough words to describe how much we loved this place and this family ❤️ This place is a little slice of heaven outside the busyness of San Juan, filled with a beautiful garden, views, animals, private villa style room, and most importantly, a beautiful family. I second everything that all of the glowing reviews previous to this one have said. I cannot recommend this place enough, we would have stayed so much longer if we could, and would return in a heartbeat. This place and spending time with this family has been the highlight of our 5 month trip around south east Asia. Thank you Mechelle, Paul, Mary Cris, Aunty Edna, Molly and Leonard for the most magical, warm and beautiful experience staying with you. We will truly miss you all ❤️

Those were magical days! You really feel like you’re part of Paul and Mechelle’s family. We had a lot of privacy because you stay in a little house (Rock House!) that has a little fish lake and a big terrace on top to watch the stars at night. 🌌 At the same time, if you want you can spend time with the family playing with the kids!! It was my birthday and the family improvised a pizza-karaoke party with cake and everything, can you believe it? 🍕🎤 They are always available to help out, when my boyfriend got sick, Mechelle and the family took care of us as their own. He was back on his feet in no time. On the property you can see the bunnies jumping around 🐇 and the house cats are cute and cuddly. Oh! The pool is perfect! 🏊‍♀️There’s also a direct access to the sea and we were able to snorkel at sunset 🌅 They also arranged our tricycle from and to the port and the motorbike rental for the days we were at the island. 🏍️ We connected so much that I cried when I left, missing them so much. 🫂

Secluded location, a little difficult to find at first but well worth the find. Set back from the main road, you get your own private little villa-type room, with sun terrace and access to the shared pool. I can’t speak highly enough of the family that run it, they are simply lovely and so friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Outstanding stay - would highly recommend

This place is an absolute gem on the island of Siquijor. The detached room is spacious and private and just steps away from a little rocky beach. Totally solar-powered, which we loved, and truly idyllic. You can sit on the roof and watch the sunset in the evenings. Most importantly, Mechelle is an incredible host. She is gracious and kind, and went out of her way to help us on several occasions when we had unexpected things come up. Anyone would be honored to be her guest. So happy we booked!

I love this place. The family were super lovely and welcoming. You have your own private bungalow with a huge rooftop with an amazing view of the sea. It's very quiet so I could work. The garden is beautiful and there's about 6 or 7 fluffy rabbits - I kid you not - some hens (not roosters, thank goodness) and cats. There's even a small pond with quite a few fish in it on your private porch and a clean swimming pool ten metres away. And the WiFi is good there in the outdoor lounge area, perfect for working. I highly recommend this place. Thank you!!
