Guest Reviews
- Filip (10/5): Very pleasant stay - Pleasant natural surroundings. Clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and accommodating 😊
- Philipp (10/5): -
- Cohen (8/5): - Everybody was so nice. The gym&yoga was perfect. The food really good. Far away from the centre, driving in the dark at night. The smell in the doorms was pretty stuffy.
- Claire (7/5): - Gorgeous, spacious, peaceful Unhelpful receptionist
- Sanz Espinosa (6/5): Buen lugar, mal personal - El hotel es muy bonito, las instalaciones están bien. La piscina agradable, zona para guardar tablas de surf. El yoga incluido es de mucha calidad y sin duda es un puntazo, me volvería a alojar solo por esto. La habitación es cómoda y agradable. Principalmente el personal, tanto de recepción como del restaurante. Tienen una falsa simpatía muy desagradable, sonríen pero se nota que son estúpidas. Te ponen una sonrisa mientras te dicen alguna bordería. Todo está preparado para que contrates cosas en el hotel o consumas a precios altos para ser filipinas (desayuno 7,50 euros/ persona).
En las habitaciones privadas no hay frigorífico, ni caja fuerte, ni un cepillo de dientes de cortesía… todo lo que tiene de calidad por el ambiente lo pierde no cuidando estos detalles.
Un perro de los empleados del alojamiento ladra por las noches y la música del gimnasio a veces bastante alta.
Aun así es un lugar muy agradable y principalmente debería cambiar el personal de recepción y cafetería. (los de limpieza y cocina me dieron la impresión de ser más agradables).
En definitiva, el concepto de “wellness sanctuary” que si han conseguido con el lugar y el yoga, lo pierden con la actitud del personal de recepción y cafetería, no te inspiran ninguna buena vibra. Hablan entre ellas como si fueran las reinas del lugar y te estuvieran haciendo un favor.
- Cohen (10/5): - Everyone so nice. The breakfast amazing!! Gym & yoga are perfect. Good laundry service. I had no complaints 💗 Far away from the centre
- Irati (9/5): Hotel ideal para relajarse - El lugar es ideal y la decoración muy bonita. Lo mejor es que ofrecen clases de yoga por la mañana y por la tarde, gratis para quienes duermen aquí. También hay gimnasio y una pequeña piscina. Las habitaciones están genial y súper cómodas. Está a las afueras de General Luna. Genial para la tranquilidad, pero necesitas una moto sí o sí.
- Alejandro (8/5): I really enjoyed my stay at Anantha and would come back. I loved the two daily yoga sessions and the activities, and the - Yoga sessions, calm place to relax, activities organised during the day. Lack of hot water, room doors noisy and no food after 4pm.
- Stephan (10/5): -
- samuel (9/5): The place had great facilities, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere among the people in the dorm. - Nice facilities very clean friendly staff and people
- Ralph Stephen (10/5): - I was only planning to stay in Santa Fe for my first 3 days in Siargao and then go into General Luna, but I fell in love with Anantha and stayed there for a full month. This is by far the best hostel experience I have ever had. The facilities are accommodations are stunning, a brand new place with free swimming pool, yoga studio (twice a day), and fully-equipped gym (nicest gym I've seen in the Philippines). The hostel is social in the sense that there is always something going on. In addition to the amenities, there are hostel volunteers that plan several activities each day. That makes it very easy to meet new people and do all the bucketlist activities on the island without doing it completely alone.
It's the perfect balance of chill and social. I stayed there for a month because I could work or read a book in the common area -- something that's not really possible at other hostels. There are plenty of plugs in the common area too. People go to bed relatively early, around 10 PM. It's quiet hours after that and people are respectful.
The rooms themselves are so spacious and comfortable and have AC. The showers have hot water and good pressure. The staff work really hard to clean everything and will even change your bedding if you've stayed there for a long time. They take the time to listen to any problems you may have and do their best to provide a resolution.
Santa Fe seems a little out of the way of General Luna, but it's well set-up for going to the best surf spots in Siargao like Salvacion. It's only 20 minutes into town, which is always a nice bike ride. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in Santa Fe too.
I would 100% stay in Anantha again and I would recommend all my friends and family to stay here. Nothing!
- Katarzyna (9/5): Energetic vibe fun oasis - I really enjoyed my stay and my friend even prolonged her stay in Anantha. Hotel is new and it shows. Everything is clean and nicely planned. Dorm rooms are spacious, there is nice common area and AMAZING gym. Restaurant serves food until 4pm (data as of April 2026) and later on you can still get drinks. I loved that there is WhatsApp group and animators who organize various group activities (surfing, bouldering, wakeboard, eating out), it is very easy to socialize and integrate. Nice staff and yoga classes twice a day also a big plus :) More like a heads-up: It is not zen and too spiritual type of crowd of atmosphere, more like backpackers' & surfers' vibrant and energetic crowd who can swing by yoga classes sometimes. Mostly young people and little to no "retreat" vibe.
What I found a bit peculiar is that hot water is available only until 6pm and AC is switched off in the afternoon until 8pm. There is also no AC in washrooms so it get very humid there. But place is sustainable with their solar panels.
Location is a bit remote (as in far from shops and restaurants), but not in a tranquil way (located nearby street). Better if you have a bike.
- 38bd20e29dd870a882600193272ba7d2 (8/5): All in all very good, just a bit of an annoying dog. - It looks so nice and has everything. Gym, yoga, pool! We were in the private and every morning from 6.15am on, the dog in the staff house next door on the property barked in an interval of 15 mins. If you want to sleep in, there is no chance! If you wanted to wake up early anyways and didnt want to set the alarm, then the dog is perfect! I was in the dorms before and never heard the dog.
- 7485be48155273661f29564b6819388a (9/5): I definitely enjoyed staying at Anantha. I met a few travelers as well who became my new friends. - the vibe of the hotel is amazing!!. love the yoga classes..although, I didn't use the gym, it was pretty clean and plenty of space and complete equipments. pool was pretty nice also..location is a bit far but I like the quiet and peaceful area. I guess I would say maybe a proper dinner menu option at the property. Although, the healthy breakfast in the morning is pretty good and a few options to choose from.

- ad27e81559f17017a09109f146d36573 (6/5): Plus une auberge de jeunesse qu’un hôtel - La chambre était belle et confortable. L’hôtel est joli. Cours de yoga et salle de sport très bien. C’est plus une auberge de jeunesse qu’un hôtel calme et reposant. Musique assez forte toute la journée. La piscine n’est pas très grande et pas de transat à disposition… Le soir les cocktails proposés au bar étaient tous indisponibles… Les chambres ne sont pas faites tous les jours et le seul jour où ça a été fait (sur 4 nuits), ils n’ont pas changé les serviettes de bain. L’hôtel a un beau potentiel mais j’ai été déçue de la prestation.
- 0d73962516f572af62d3ecfeb0b2f6c5 (8/5): - war nur ein wenig laut in der Nacht, da es auch ein Hostel ist
- Ignacio (10/5): -
- Lena (9/5): - A very warm and welcoming place – I truly enjoyed my stay :)
- Taylor (10/5): Super lovely. Will be back! - The hotel and private room was new, beautiful. The yoga, gym, and surf sessions were super convenient. The yoga sessions could use a bit more organization.
- Pascal (8/5): Great place! would recommend - great design and vibe. Also the volunteers make it so much fun for solo travelers. highly recommend food offering at the hostel is a bit short and closes at 16:00
- Nadine (10/5): - Super schönes ruhiges und modernes Hostel! Yoga, Gym und Surf Angebot.
- Emmanuel (10/5): top - - la salle de sport très bien équipée
- les cours de yoga
- l’ambiance - le fait qu’il prenne une grosse commission sur les trajets depuis et vers l’aéroport, c’est vraiment décevant
- quelques mauvaises odeurs a cause à la salle de bain
- la piscine
- Clara (10/5): Buen descanso - Muy tranquilo y acogedor , clases de yoga, piscina, gimnasio y relax.
- Marta (9/5): Piękne wnętrza, bardzo miła i przyjemna atmosfera - Przemiły personel, bardzo ładne wnętrza, duże przestrzenie, pokoje wieloosobowe były naprawdę duże. Było wygodnie, ale też bardzo ładnie i przyjemnie, ludzie nie wchodzili sobie w drogę. Duże, wygodę łóżka. Bardzo ciekawa oferta aktywności, która pozwala na integrację, co jest at szczególnie ważne gdy podróżuje się samemu. Podobało mi się użycie whatsapp group chat do kontaktowania się z gośćmi. Wszystko było super, przepiękne miejsce, jeśli nie przeszkadza Ci, że musisz kawałek dojechać do miasta to jest to idealne miejsce.
- Amelie (9/5): -
- AKRAM (10/5): An unforgettable, social, and high-quality hostel experience that’s absolutely worth it! - I had an absolutely incredible stay here easily one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had, I stayed in total almost 2 weeks switching from private room to dorms. The facilities are outstanding for a hostel, truly going above and beyond what you would normally expect. The social areas are modern, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, making it so easy to relax and connect with other travelers.
One of the highlights was the yoga sessions held twice a day, led by fantastic teachers who created such a welcoming and energizing environment. The gym is also amazing honestly, it would be impressive even as a standalone facility.
What really made this place special, though, was the people. The community here is something else everyone was friendly, open, and always up for doing something together. Whether it was group dinners, activities, or surfing, there was always something happening, and it made it so easy to meet people. I genuinely feel like I’ve made friends for life here.
I would absolutely recommend staying here. It’s definitely worth spending a bit extra compared to a standard hostel because of the overall experience you get it’s not just accommodation, it’s a community.
I’ll 100% be coming back next year. The menu and kitchen could probably offer a few more options, but there are currently extensions being built that will expand it into a proper restaurant. That said, I actually enjoyed the current setup because it encourages you to go out, socialize, and explore the many great restaurants and local food spots nearby.
- David (10/5): - Ein wunderbarer Ort zum Runterkommen und genießen!! Das Yoga ist toll, aber man muss sich frei machen von dem Lärm der Straße, die genau vor dem Hotel entlang geht
- Linda (10/5): Loved every minute! Great vibes ! - Loved my stay here! Bunkbeds were so comfy and all the different areas were really beautiful. Friendly staff and fell in love with the little kitten! Will definetly come back!! Great vibes The bathrooms in both private room and shared room could use some better lighting for doing your makeup.
The aircon in the common area was a bit chilly for my taste (but I also never said anything so that might be an easy problem to fix)
The bunkbeds were so comfy! And then I changed to private room - which was lovely - but the ned here was a bit more on the firm side.

- alina (10/5): - genuinely loved everything about this hostel. you’re able to create a mini retreat for yourself. the yoga shala is beyond words & the teachers are very good!! the vibe and decor of this hostel is truly similar to a resort but with backpacker prices. the staff is extremely friendly and helpful & i made some beautiful genuine friendships at Anantha. Salamat🤍 the curtains are a bit sheer but they give u two pillows and a real blanket i had the best sleep here
- Markus (10/5): -
- Naomi (8/5): Mooi hostel, goede gym en yoga! - De gym is top en de yoga lessen (2x per dag) zijn goed en divers. Wij hadden een privé kamer en die is erg mooi en heeft een goed bed. Het is kleinschalig maar wel weer groot genoeg om connecties te leggen als je daar interesse in hebt. Er worden ook veel leuke activiteiten georganiseerd vanuit het hostel. Het was een beetje ongemakkelijk toen we de kamer binnen kwamen en er 2 personeelsleden op ons bed lagen te kletsen. Verder fijn dat je meerdere keren schone handdoeken etc kreeg
- ישראלי (10/5): מדהים - המקום מדהים! חזרנו אליו שוב ושוב. בין השקט למרכז. לישראלים קרוב לבית חב״ד מרחק הליכה. הצוות מדהים, אווירה צעירה, יוגה. ממש נהיננו החדרים ברמה, והארוחות במקום ממש טובות. יש שם מנהלת מהממת שעוזרת בכל דבר.
- Elizaveta (10/5): - Amazing place to stay! Free gym, yoga, pool
Very friendly personal, nice people here
Would definitely go back
- Elizaveta (10/5): -
- Patrick (8/5): - High class facilities!! Small pool area
- Marco (5/5): Preis-Leistungsverhältnis im Bezug auf privat Room stimmt nicht. - Schöne großzügige Zimmer mit guter Klimaanlage!
Ruhezeiten ab 22 Uhr werde eingehalten. Sehr süße Hostel-Katze, unbedingt weiterhin gut versorgen! Das Restaurant ist eher enttäuschend, gerade im Vergleich zu den vielen guten Restaurants in General Luna.
Auch die Mitarbeiter scheinen eher desinteressiert. Wir haben einen Roller woanders gemietet da der uns angebotene in einem wirklich schlechten Zustand war und der Zeitrahmen viel zu strikt. Auch haben wir uns aufgrund der Koordination eine andere Surfschule gesucht. Im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften haben wir dann auch noch erfahren, dass der Flughafentransport fast doppelt so teuer ist.
Von vorne sieht das Hostel wirklich schön aus! Aber hinter den Gebäuden liegt sehr viel Müll im Wasser.

Cours de yoga variés et de qualité
Hostel très sociable Personnel de l’accueil un peu désagréable
Fourniture de savon et shampoing serait cool

- bejan (9/5): I would highly recommend it ( without the dog) - It was a beautiful hotel. We really enjoyed our stay with the yoga sessions in the morning and the evening. They also have an amazing gym! The only thing we did not like about the property was the dog that lives there. It barked and woke us up every night between 1:00 am and 6:00 am it’s also not very friendly.
