Homestays in Caraga, Philippines

You get what you pay for. If you want a budget accommodation with privacy and don't want to stay with a hostel, this is an option. Okay naman location since it is along Tourism Road. The downside is walang masyadong kainan na malapit kapag lumabas ka kaya need mo magtricycle palagi everytime gusto mo kumain. Kaya they also offer free breakfast kasi wala ka nga naman makakainan sa labas na malapit. 6:40am start ng breakfast nila tas yung babaeng assistant wala man lang urgency na ihanda agad at 7am pa magsisimula magluto. Lol. The worst part is yung pinapatay nila yung breaker ng electricty kapag tanghali (kasi inaassume nila na walang tao sa room) kaya minsan sobrang init kapag nagstay ka sa don. So need mo pa sila tanungin kung brownout ba or pinatay lang nila breaker tas tsaka nila bubuksan ulit. Then sa gabi sinasarado nila yung main valve ng tubig kesyo nakakalimutan daw ng guest na nakabukas daw yung gripo. E pano makakalimutan eh pinapatay nga nila yung main valve. So dapat lagi may ipon ng tubig para incase na patayin nila yung tubig eh makaligo ka pa rin. Lol. I suggest wag na kayo magstay dito and mas better kung makahanap kayo ng accom along Town Hall para malapit sa kaninan. Note that they collect a key deposit of 100pesos which wag ka na umasa na mababalik. Since all departure flights sa Siargao ay umaga and tulog pa sila around 5am then yung main house is nakalock so I guess yung 100pesos na kinolect is parang payment na rin sa key duplication so if ever na matapat din kayo sa ganung situation eh wag niyo ng iwan sa room yung susi at itapon niyo nalang.

Very good value for money! We stayed in a very tidy room with an ensuite bathroom that has a hot shower and very good water pressure. Wifi is strong, too, and there's a shared kitchen for all the guests to use. Another thing we loved is that they're eco-conscious, so they practice and promote recycling. The owner, Raymund, was also a gem, very warm, welcoming, and helpful. Would love to stay here again if we're ever back in Siargao! 💖

Travelling in a group of 5, we had a lovely 4 nights here. It makes a good base to do all the Siargou tours. You can rent a motorbike or car locally and travel off-piste. Lots of restaurants nearby, both Filippino and American. For the price paid for a huge air-conditioned room (3 beds) an ensuite bathroom and a large balcony, it's great value for money.

Kalipay was in the best location ever, yet also like a sanctuary of peace! It helped that there weren’t too many guests when we were there too (as we were just at the beginning of the season). The staff were absolutely lovely and helped us book all of our motorbikes, transfers & surf lessons. We had the reception number on WhatsApp so if our plans changed we could easily contact them to help us - honestly, it took all the faff out of the holiday and meant we could really enjoy ourselves. The room was gorgeous and so big for 2 people! Great shower, air con or a ceiling fan, super comfy bed (if you prefer a slightly harder memory foam feel) & complimentary drinking water and tea. There was also a mini fridge of snacks which you did need to pay extra for but we enjoyed this to have a sweet treat post dinner! There are great drink / dinner options within a 2 minute walk, or 5 minute motorbike ride. We would recommend CEV for amazing ceviche (we went twice) & Goodies did a great cocktail. We also ate breakfast and lunch at Kalipay once and enjoyed both meals. Thank you so much to the Kalipay team - we’d come back in a heartbeat! Emma & Ed

The Ferra Resort Siargao is a small complex of Villette, very seafront, really suggestive. Very nice and available staff, when not present (the reception is not open 24/24), they are still very fast to answer you via WhatsApp. Excellent location, being seafront, 200 metres from a RistoBar, reachable walking. Not near the city centre General Luna, you need to move with TulTuk (about 150 pesos). As the structure is rich in vegetation, it is absolutely necessary to take account of a lot of insects, whether they want or not... they forcefully enter the room, just open the door a second! But this is the beautiful nature... To have insect repellent so that you can be ready. The front beach does not offer much space, but it is not used by anyone, so for anyone who wants to be in a quiet place, it is the right place. There are many free dogs around the island: I had almost adopted one :) There is no interior restaurant, but every room is equipped with a drop of water, also present in the “dining area”, Where you can also use a American coffee shop and microwave. They also offer sea and land excursions directly at the reception. I really found myself very well, despite the first day of rain, I enjoyed my front-sea villa. I strongly advise you, for those who want to spend a few healthy days of relaxation at sea.

Great place about halfway between the airport and the main city. There are some good restaurants nearby and some beautiful beaches & surf spots, very peaceful and friendly hosts much cheaper than the main tourist area as well.

Located in a quiet place, not far from the 9 cloud spot. The hotel employees are very responsive and kind! The shower pressure is good, the air conditioner works great. And a wonderful well-kept garden!

The only downside is that it is not close to the surfing beach and needs to ride a motorcycle. The service was good and the room was great.
