Loved this stay. Everyone is super nice, in particular Kenny. We also loved the small kittens they had during the stay and the lovely dog. Even came back after visiting another Island. And will come back for sure again:)

The room was spacious and clean, with good AC. They have just nicely renovated the common area, and it overlooks a small private beach, from which you can watch the sunset. It is beautiful! The staff is very polite and helpful. We rented a motorcycle directly from the hotel for a good price.
The only issue was that the rooms are poorly isolated. The area is pretty quiet so it is not too much of an issue, but you can hear your neighbours !

We absolutely loved our stay here. The location, the staff and the environment was perfect. Also the food and drinks are very nice and affordable. They do live music on the eveing wich suits perfect with the sunset timing. There's also a little beach in the hotel and it's perfect for a quick deep or just for lay there, relax and enjoy a good book. I would deffinetely recommend Swakihan Guest House if you are staying in Siquijor. We regret not extending our stay. Thank you so much for having us!! If we come back to the Philippines we will deffinetely stay here again! :)

Where to begin… Location - on the beach. During the day (low tide) can walk down the beach to the main town / market very easily. At night, location ideal to venture to the restaurant/ bars. But… I ended up staying in the hotel restaurant on 2 nights as the food was great, drinks were amazing, sunset view was out of this world. And the staff… were absolutely incredible. Room - just what was needed for a guest house in Siquijor. Ticked all the boxes that i needed for my stay. Clean and modern and totally spacious. Amazing big room. With a fridge too which always is handy Facilities - asked for extra coffee / water / towels and the front desk staff organised it within seconds. Restaurant/ bar - great drinks and food all very well priced. Strongly suggest having the shakes - mango and cucumber shakes were highly recommended! As well as the squid balls or french fries as a snack through the day. Likewise the breakfasts were great too, either traditional Filipino style (I recommend this highly!) or more European options if you don’t fancy the local cuisine. Services - the management team organised a day trip at very short notice. Great day. And would recommend this, all you need to do is list the areas / location to visit and then turn up on the day. Similarly the team helped me understand the ferry schedule, as some tourist sites say that there are only 2 ferries a day. There’s a sign in reception which reads ‘leave as family’ I truly believe all staff believe in this motto. And as a solo traveller was made to feel completely at home here. When can I come back! :)

Our family had a wonderful stay at Swakihan. The room was spotless and spacious, perfect for our family of three. The staff was always accommodating and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. The manager was very hands-on and had an amazing imagination, especially when it comes to the decoration. Every detail was thoughtfully put together, creating a chill and beautiful vibe throughout the place. The outdoor amenities were stunning, with a beachfront view that was incredible from every spot, whether at a regular table, on a sunbed, or up in the treehouse. My favorite part was watching the sunset while listening to live band music, such a perfect way to end the day.

they were very accomodating with our requests. i asked for more pilllows and they willingly provided us with more. i asked if we can still use the motorbike that we rented the next day to buy boat tickets in siquijor and they let us use it for free. most importantly, my 1 year old had fever and cough and was having an asthma attack and he needed to be nebulized, and they had a nebulizer which they had us use for free! overall, staff were great, friendly, and accomodating. the ambience was nice, and gold was great too! big servings!

Cannot fault this homestay one bit. We stayed in the family room was only 2 of us so there was plenty of space, there was free water refill station and the room is spotless. Also provided with beach towels which was so handy The grounds themselves are amazing, so well kept someone was always working on something making the place even better. The views over the Sea with beach access and beds was also amazing. The family that run the hotel/homestay are the friendliest people, helped with absolutely anything we needed and organised our transport to the pier Would definitely recommend here if staying in Siquijor will definitely be staying again if we get the chance to come back
Nothing everything was amazing

- We really like the equipement. The room was clean and new. Also we appreciate that they are looking after the place and make some inovation. - I really like all the details and the whole ,,designe” of the place. - The stuff is super nice and friendly. We felt welcomed in here. - Wi-fi is great. - The location is also nice. There are several good restaurants around. - For breakfast you can chose from 6 options. And the breakfast was quite tasty.
- The coffee is not included in free breakfast which was suprising. But you can order it so it is not such a problem. - Just a warning: There is a small beach but you can not really swim in the sea. Also there was a low tide so the sea was quite far from the beach. But I guess it depends on several factors (our last today was high tide).

We loved the beautiful beachside restobar, which has its own private beach with sun loungers that make you feel like a VIP! They had brilliant and talented live music on every night we were there, which made for a lovely sunset ambiance. We had a bit of trouble on our arrival in Siquijor as the taxi we booked with the hotel to pick us up was 40 mins late. The staff there were so apologetic and made this up to us in the most lovely ways. High quality scooters for rent at reasonable prices. Very nice food, their carbonara is creamy and delicious 😋 the cocktails were also amazing and very (very) strong.
Unpunctual taxi driver, but this is forgiven due to the high quality service we received

Great location near the beach, restaurants, and easy to reach by tricycle. Clean room with fresh bed sheets. Friendly and helpful staff.
The guesthouse has a restaurant, Salawaki, with live music in the evenings, which can be a bit loud until 10:00 PM. The walls between rooms are a little thin, so you might hear noise from neighboring rooms, and sometimes the shower water pressure is weak. However, this didn’t impact my overall stay. 👍🏻
