PEPAYEN Homestay

I booked this place last minute because the original accomodation I had booked turned out to be terrible. Pepayen was a huge upgrade in quality despite it being about the same price. Clean facilities with everything I needed. I always appreciate it when shampoo and soap are provided. Loads of towels. Hot water worked great. Water and coffee was also provided. Wifi worked great. The best wifi in Siargao I experienced so far. Also probably the only accomodation in Siargao where I didn't see a single cockroach. In terms of facilities this place was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and I liked that you are given the option to check in earlier or check out later (for a price).

I just wish they had a board rack and place to wash your feet when you come back from surfing. It was a hassle to take a longboard in and out of the room but it might not be an issue if you have a short board.

The staff's kindness and hospitality are incredible; they make everything available to you right away. Excellent location, just a few steps from the center. I recommend it to everyone.

Location and shower

Ants was biting me, I woke up with a lot of pain in all of my body because something was biting me

L’établissement est en plein milieu de général Luna donc vous avez pleins de commerces, cafés, restaurants, boutiques a proximité

Sobre todo lo que mas me gusto es lo pendientes que estan de todo. La dueña y la mujer que trabaja ahi son muy muy buena gente, sin duda un acierto

It's very close to the port. Other establishments were accessible from the the Inn.

So cozy inside the room, within the property. Felt safe. Hazel is so generous with her time and effort to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The best value for money, indeed.

Una estancia maravillosa. La habitación estaba impecable, la cama era increíblemente cómoda y la presión del agua perfecta. La zona es muy tranquila, ideal para descansar y dormir sin ningún ruido. Además, la casera fue encantadora y muy amable en todo momento. Me sentí como en casa y sin duda volvería a quedarme allí.

Very clean, bed so comfy. Family who live at the homestay are so friendly, will stay here again if returning to Siargao! Such good value for money

Nothing

La habitación es grande, las camas también y muy cómodas, todo en general con limpieza correcta. La localización es buena, muy cerca de todo, y el personal es muy agradable. El alquiler de motos que ofrecen tiene muy buen precio.

Hay algo que empañó por completo nuestra estancia aquí, y es la presencia de cucarachas en la habitación. Estuvimos tres noches, y las tres noches encontramos una. Una de ellas incluso correteando por encima de nuestras cosas en el lavabo. Se lo hicimos saber al personal tras la primera noche y nos dijeron que iban a echar algún producto para ello, pero volvieron a aparecer. El día que nos fuimos volvimos a decirlo y la respuesta fue que estábamos en una isla tropical, y que aparecieran insectos era habitual. Le compramos la respuesta y nos fuimos con sensación agridulce porque de verdad el alojamiento estaba muy bien. Sin embargo fue nuestra primera parada en Filipinas, después de ahí estuvimos en alojamientos similares tipo guest houses en Bohol (literalmente en medio del campo), Port Barton y El Nido, y por supuesto que tuvimos algún bichito o insecto en las habitaciones, porque es un país tropical, pero ninguna cucaracha más en toda nuestra estancia.

Everything

Nothing

Spacious room

Arrived after 4 so there was no check in and we weren’t spoken to until check out. Airco is a hole in the wall and makes more noise than a Boeing 747. The hole for the airco is stuffed op with socks. Mold in the bathroom because there is zero ventilation. Ants that crawl on your bed day and night, even without any food in the room. The shower is full of limescale so it barely works. Neighbourhood doesn’t feel safe specially at night, the gate to the property doesn’t even close properly. How this accommodation has a 9.2 is a miracle, maybe if you have zero standards.

I love it! 🥰 I like all in the property, from the place,staff,comfy and safe place. The owner also is super humble and polite no wonder why all the staff in pepayen is just like her. Will be back again here!

Just the wifi no connection due to internet interruption. but its okay because the place is nearby at tower so if your using globe the data there is excellent! 🤗

Mukava majotuspaikka, hyvä sijainti. Hintaan kuuluu myös huonesiivous, mukava työntekijä. Ei tosin kovin homestay-tyyppinen, koska oma huone, ja oma sisäänkäynti, enkä tainnut parin viikon oleskelun aikana kuin kerran törmätä pihalla perheeseen. Sopii siis hyvin myös yksityisyyttä kaipaville. Huone oli tosi hyvä ja siisti, samoin kuin kylpyhuone. Kirjoituspöytä sopi opiskelua tai työskentelyä varten.

The homestay was clean and close to General Luna, with less noise at night compared to other places in General Luna (according to other people's opinions). You also have access to cold, filtered water downstairs. They also allowed me to have a late check-out so the driver could pick me up from the airport.

It's not like your typical homestay where you meet the family, share stories, enjoy a family dinner, or do other activities. It's more like an Airbnb. The showerhead has less pressure, and they don't offer proper blankets; you either turn off the AC or shiver, which makes it less cosy at night. Also, book travel trips directly through the agents nearby, as many are closer and ask for less money compared to the hotel arranging for you, which shouldn't be the case.

The loaction is so nice. The personnel is so friendly.

I have bitten by bed bugs. I initially have doubts but when I did my check up i found out that all those itchy and round bites came from bed bugs. The internet is stable. I suggest to us starlink instead of relying on the provider they have.

Clean and located in a quiet side road, yet very close to almost everything by walk. Cloud9 is also close by by bike or tricycle. Hosts are very kind and helpful with anything.

Preis, Sauberkeit, Gemütlichkeit der Zimmer, top Küche, Trinkwasser & Kaffee, Absolut ruhig! Ich glaube einer der besten Unterkünfte, die ich in den Philippinen hatte.

Ich habe mehrere Nächte in verschiedenen Zimmer hier verbracht. Ich kann alle empfehlen außer das Zimmer für 4 Personen. Das war leider von Schimmel im Bad befallen, das hat man auch direkt beim Hineingehen am Geruch bemerkt. Hier sollte man definitiv etwas machen!

There is so much to love! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the rooms were comfortable and clean. It’s also walking distance to the happening part of the city and some nice breakfast spots.

Établissement tres propre. Tres bien équiper, chambres spacieuses. L’établissement est tres bien situé, proche du centre et toutes les accommodations tout en etant assez a l’écart pour ne pas avoir constamment du bruit. Rapport qualité prix parfait. Je recommande a 100%

It was perfect, good value for money!

The water flow in the shower was weak

מיקום טוב, נקי ולא יקר.

Le confort etais réellement top la propreté nous avons apprécié passer nos nuit dans cette chambre

Il y avais un coin pour prendre notre thé ou cafe au lait et nous avons eut la mauvaise surprise d y apercevoir des fourmis dans le sucre et le lait en poudre ce fus la seul petite chose un peu dommage à déplorer

Excelente localização

Poderia ter ferro de passar

כלום

Large room with very comfortable beds. Good shower pressure. The homestay had a really good location. There was a flood in the bathroom overnight from the bidet, and the toilet stopped flushing. Luckily we had spare towels to mop up overnight! The staff were super responsive and fixed the issue the next morning whilst we were out.

Super Lage und ein gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis, Rollerverleih und Wäscheservice hat super funktioniert

Die Unterkunft ist leider sehr hellhörig

Todo, el mejor hotel de Filipinas sin dudas

Nada

Dobra lokalizacja w pobliżu miejsc do wynajmu skutery oraz fajnego jedzenia. W pokoju było czysto i przestronnie, a klimatyzacja dobrze działała. WiFi chodziło dobrze.

das Personal war extrem freundlich und man konnte sehr lecker frühstücken. Es gibt nur drei Zimmer was es sehr familiär macht und ruhig. Mir hat es sehr gefallen

Das Zimmer war extrem klein

It’s a nice place, clean, you can use the kitchen, the hostess is very friendly, I was alone - but I had four towels for the room, two large and two small, and a chair and table on the terrace

Nothing

This is the second time i have stayed here. It's very comfortable.

אחלה מקום במיקום טוב ממש שווה את המחיר

החדר קצת לח אבל זה לא נורא

The hotel is clean, quiet and comfortable. The terrace is a nice highlight for enjoying a drink during sunrise or sunset. The location is perfect; everything is just a couple of minutes of walking. Moreover, the service/managment is smart and caring with clear communication. I can absolutely recommend it.

Tudo. Quarto muito espaçoso, confortável, com atenção ao detalhe.

Nada

Muy buena ubicación, la atención del personal excelente. Todo perfecto

Mucho ruido a la mañana muy temprano, pero es lo único,

The cleaning, the owners, the accommodation itself, the facilities.

All was perfect.

La ubicación es muy buena porque tienes el centro al lado, te alquilan motos muy económicas, tienen agua caliente y las camas son cómodas tambien te preparan el transporte de vuelta al aeropuerto.

Había mucha humedad en la habitación, el aire suena muchísimo, las habitaciones las limpiaron porque lo pedimos y apenas vimos al personal, siempre teníamos que estar buscándolos

Super the best homestay!

Clean unit and had decent wifi.

It’s clean and comfortable. I recommend.

Cannot be better, especially when I compare to other accodation with similar price. I extended my stay here. Very clean! Wifi good. AC good! They always offer us cold drinking water.

Cosy room, same as at the pictures. Clean, comfy bed, free water and coffee, and a fridge in a common area. Great location close to the main streets and not noisy

Staff to be available in case of emergency

Convenient location - close to the places I needed to go to. Spacious room. Hot shower in the bathroom. Clean and fragrant sheets. Tita Yen, Hazel and the rest of the team are very nice and helpful. Free drinking water and coffee. A fridge, and a kitchen. Quiet environment.

Nothing.

Very clean, free coffee. Accommodating staff/owners

Very clean and so organized. The owner and the staff are amazing. Thank you Ma’am Yen and Ma’am Hazel. You guys are awesome! I would definitely stay here again

Nothing!

The staff are very accommodating and super friendly. The place even though it's near the side of the road is quiet. We had to check in early and was charged PHP500 for it which what I was expecting.

Few things but I'm not entirely sure if it will be different had we have a different place to stay but here: (1) The air conditioning is too loud and outdated. We had a hard time trying to relax during the day when we need the comfort of the place the most because of too much heat; (2) The lighting in the room is awful. Who has yellow lights in this age; (3) The bed is super stiff, again had a hard time relaxing during our stay.

Me gusto todo, el hotel estaba muy limpio y hay calidad precio, nos ayudaron en todo tanto para tours como en transporte,el personal muy amable. Las habitaciones estaban muy limpias. Muy buena ubicación. Recomendadisimo a todos.

.

The place is great! Good location. The room is comfortable. The shower is big enough. The place is clean. The staff is amazing, anything you need they will help you.

Está un poco alejado de General Luna (10 min andando nada loco), la habitación fue la mejor en la que estuvimos en Filipinas. Las camas muy cómodas, la limpiaban cada 2/3 días. La chica del alojamiento es un encanto, tiene una cocina para cocina si quieres aunque es pequeñita. Y una sala para rellenar el agua y tomarte un café si quieres. Hablamos con la propietaria y un día nos facilitó el transporte para ir al norte.

Por poner alguna pega en otros sitios de filipinas pudimos reservar los tours en el propio alojamiento y aquí sin embargo no nos dio mucha opción.

They helped us with everything — renting the motorbike, airport transfers, quick responses, and more. The location is fantastic, very close to the port and the main street of General Luna. We had heard that in other hotels around the area, some Spanish friends experienced a lot of humidity, but that wasn’t the case at Pepayen — the air conditioning and the fan was excellent. I also want to thank Hazel and Mel, who were very friendly and helpful.

The only point to be improved maybe is the shower which barely has pressure, but this is not a problem at all.

We had a very nice stay for one week. All the room appliances worked well and we even managed to cook in the kitchen. Free water, coffee and tea are provided and we liked the small table on the terrace which allowed us to eat and have coffee looking at the nature nearby. Supermarket such as Tag are nearby as well as other restaurants and eateries. The public market and harbor are also in walking distance so most of what you will need for a stay in general luna is within reach. The accommodation helped us with a day tour so they can also help in this regard. Salamat po for the great stay and we wish you all the best 🙏 Kind regards, Florin & Carly.

Very nice stay for 9 days. Comfy, clean. Friendly staff

The only bad point is the wifi. It was very bad in my room. Nothing else

The most professional and gentle Homestay in Siargao 🤍 Thanks Mel
