Haole Surf Hostel

Sir JJ and Gino were great hosts, providing recommendations on what you can do around the island and help when requested. They helped with arranging transport from and to the airport and also arranged motorbike for me to use to go around the island. Their restaurant in the location serves great food and great atmosphere. On the nights, the area was very peaceful, and I was able to get a good night sleep. Also very close to the beach, mini-shops, cafés and walkable distance.

On few occasions, I would order food or drinks and let them know I will just drop my items in the room and come back but when I came back for my order, it wasn't passed on to the kitchen staff at all. Other than that, everything is more than satisfactory.

Room with AC and a balcony all for us. There was also a mini fridge to keep water fresh. Good private bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended. Very close to Ocean9 beach which is way better and less crowded than the more famous Cloud9 beach.

The position is 15 minutes by scooter from general Luna which is not necessarily bad because the neighbourhood is quieter but you need to drive every time you leave the place. No hot water, but manageable. Sometimes there could be electricity blackouts for a few minutes. It happened 3 times and the owner has a generator in case the cut lasts too long. It's quite normal in siargao.
