About

🏝️ Hello! Thanks for showing interest in staying with us. Our hostel was brought to life by the idea of having a very special retreat for the intrepid travellers of Siquijor Island.
We can’t wait to show you our beautiful island! 🏝️

✨ Please carefully note the type of room you are booking. We offer female-only dorms, male-only dorms and mixed dorms. We will not be able to issue any refunds on late cancellations for incorrect bookings. ✨

What you get when you stay with us:
FREE to join our famous family dinners every day (except Monday's - when the staff go out to scout new places for our next food adventure). We take you out to some of our favourite curated spots in San Juan with other hostel guests. We might also join you out for some drinks after. Please note that the family dinners are held outside of the hostel and require either a scooter ride or a tricycle ride. You are welcome to self-drive or split the cost of a tricycle to our dinner spot.
FREE morning snacks every day. This includes toast with a selection of jams, peanut butter and a special local pastry.
FREE coffee and tea. We source our coffee beans from the Mountain Province of the Philippines - up north! We offer free flowing brewed coffee throughout the day.
FREE towel. First one is on us!
FREE lessons with scooters, whether you need a refresher or are a first-time rider. We will teach you the basics so you can decide if this is the right form of transportation for you.
FREE luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. You are welcome to leave your belongings with us if you arrive early or have a late ferry to catch.

Highlights:
LOCATION - We are about a 5 minute walk to the famous Paliton Beach. While there are a few cafes, restaurants and convenient stalls within walking distance please note that we are NOT in the centre of San Juan. The walk to central San Juan is about 2 km or a short 5-minute scooter ride.
Heard of the infamous power outages of Siquijor? Worry not, our property is now equipped with a generator set to keep our power as uninterrupted as possible.
Our property is connected to the PLDT Fiber line for internet. By October 2024, we will also have Starlink as a backup source.
For cellular networks, Smart & TNT are the best sim cards for the district of Paliton.
Our staff are experts of Siquijor and we pride ourselves in knowing the ins and outs of the island. We will help you plan your visit and ensure you have a great time!
For your safety, we are staffed 24/7 with a night security.
Special Notes :
We do not accept guests younger than 18 years old, no exception.
For groups of 4 or more, a one-night deposit is required. The hostel will contact you at least 7 days prior to your reservation date to inform you of the process. Fail to make a one-night deposit payment may result in booking cancellation.

Really enjoyed the social area (was very social!!) and the family dinner was lovely! Location is far from the main area if you don’t ride a scooter but can be solved by trikes etc.
