2-Star hotele w: 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.

Amazing staff! Very helpful and friendly. Perfect location with cottage and bar on the beach. Great local and international food and drinks

Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5) The room was spacious, affordable, and came with free breakfast, which was a nice bonus. The location and price make this hotel seem like a good option for budget travelers. However, there were several issues that affected our stay. The room was not properly cleaned and had a lot of dust. The complimentary toiletries were not provided upon check-in, and the shower drain was clogged, causing water to accumulate in the bathroom. The water supply appeared to come from a deep well and had an unpleasant smell. I also found it unusual that the pillows were covered with bed sheets instead of proper pillowcases. The most disappointing experience happened at 1:30 AM, when the receptionist called our room and woke us up to ask if they could borrow our air conditioner remote. We were told that three other guests had complained because they didn’t have air conditioner remotes, and the staff said they only had one remote available. Waking sleeping guests in the middle of the night to solve an internal hotel issue is highly unprofessional and significantly disrupted our rest. Overall, while the room size, affordability, and free breakfast were positives, the cleanliness, maintenance, and service need major improvement. I hope the management addresses these issues to provide a better experience for future guests.

Cozy sort of homely hotel. Unfortunately in need of a bit of renovation, mainly the bathroom, ants and mosquitoes came in to the room. It’s located a short bike ride from where everything happens which is good. And they have a free water and coffee station. No cleaning of the room for the 5 nights we stayed there but got clean towels when we asked for it.

It's cost is cheap but indeed satisfying.. I love to go back again...

It was difficult because there was no toilet cover, but it was okay because the generator was turned on at a certain time even though the entire island was out of power.

We enjoyed playing with sweet Hasmine (their Dog) very adorable. But when it comes to the room, it is spacious but needed some pest control since it is starting to have termites. Also the smell of it starting to get stronger. Staff are nice, the area is good. The CR is great. It's big. The only problem is the hot shower. It doesn't have the option to lessen the degree of the water it automatically go up until 50°c.

The location is gorgeous, and the huts face the sunrise! The staff are so helpful and friendly. They helped me organise travel back to the airport at the end of my stay, and they have a really talented surfing instructor on-site. The huts are really clean and well maintained. All I would say is, as it's a hut, you can't be squeamish about things like ants or geckos, and the internet connection in my hut was a bit weak. But overall, I would highly recommend this accommodation. Very good price as well. I loved it there!

The room was very nice. Pool and beach were advertised for the property. The pool as no more than 2x3m. The beach was maybe 1m wide to the shore, then all rocks - really not useable. Staff was very kind. When we told them the beer was warm they told us it was because the refrigerator wasn’t working properly. Many of the food items were out on the menu and we had to wait about 40 minutes for tacos and nachos. The property itself was ok, but will probably choose somewhere else to stay if I go back to Siargao.

I had a pleasant stay at IAO Boutique Hotel, thanks to its convenient location in the middle of the city. The road nearby is lined with restaurants, making it easy to explore local food, culture, and even enjoy a festival during my stay. It was a lovely experience overall. However, my room was located near the reception, and it was quite noisy. I could hear the sounds of people coming and going as well as conversations, which disrupted the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. Despite this, the stay was enjoyable.
