Nida's Place

Die Lage

Die Dusche, weil das Wasser gestunken hat und die Küche, weil sie nicht sehr sauber war

El personal super agradable, la habitación amplia y limpia.

Room was large and clean! It was also in a great location. Staff was very friendly. I will be coming back.

Heerlijke plek veel rust mooi gras en leuke mensen!:)

Convenient

L’emplacement, le jardin et les chambres sont plutôt spacieuses.

La climatisation trop bruyante et juste au dessus du lit. La salle de bain était un peu sale. La cuisine est à rafraîchir et les ustensiles à remplacer certains sont rouillés. C’est l’établissement qui nous a coûté le plus cher à la nuit et qui était le moins confortable. Siargao est en plein développement mais s’ils veulent augmenter les prix pour les logements il faut qu’ils soient de meilleure qualité.

Tudo ok

Barulho durante a noite do hostel em frente ao nosso quarto mas nada que uns tampões para os ouvidos não resolvam

Great location, good room overall, and friendly staff. Nida and Martha were welcoming and helpful

My room was double booked for the first night. Initially, I was being asked repeatedly to change to a smaller room in the family house, which I declined. After much discussing, they organised another room nearby for that first night (a nicer room, so an upgrade). Due to that hiccup, they also offered free transport to the airport or the ferry terminal, which I appreciated. The shower filter needs some cleaning, as not much water is coming through. I took it off, which worked much better. The warm water disappeared at times. The sink has a press-button tap, which is tedious in a guesthouse. The water pressure is too high. The water that comes out is brownish.

We stayed at Nidas place for 1 week. Everything was great, Nida and her family were so lovely and welcoming. 10/10 , we will definitely come back if we come to siargao!

We had a great time staying at Nidas Place. It’s close to Cloud 9, a Scooter rental and you have some nice cafés close by. Nida and Geoff are very friendly and helpful and organized a Driver for us to go north at the end of our trip.

It is a very nice place with a nice owner.

t is a good place, but the owner was in Australia, and the mannager did not do good job. We ask to get 2 more days for a nice price, then she come in person to say yeas. Next day she make us have much less good rom and the stress of moving in messages in the booking.com app. I SAID NO corse we already have a deal, then she ask us to check out..... we got some discounts and got cheap room. So when she make mistakes the guest do the suffer. Very disappointing

Très bien placé Chambre assez grande Bien pour backpacker

La chambre est vraiment bien pour des backpackers, mais le prix n’est pas du tout adapté. beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est. Les murs sont très fins, aucune insonorisation Équipement très sommaire

The hosts are really nice and helpful. We just stayed for one night as we had to escape busy hostel life and we found exactly what we needed. A simple and lovely place to rest with a beautiful garden. The location is great - laundry, cafes... everything within 2 min walking distance. They have hot water showers.

Geoff was a really great guy,the garden was really nice to spend time in and just relax abit.badminton was also good fun.close proximity to cheap and mid range restaurant’s and a walking distance to cloud 9.most definitely would recommend

Nida's place is a great little spot close to cloud nine and good little eateries, perfect for traveler's looking for a nothing fancy place to crash at a reasonable price and caters for your basic needs. Nida and Geoff are great hosts

Everything was as expected

Amazing stay at Nidas place, Nida and Geoff are super friendly and they were awesome company (Specially during Typhoon 😅) we enjoyed our time here every day, 10/10 stay from me.

Best place in siargoa! The owners were great and it really felt like a family, the helped us get to know around, find surf spots and also when my friend got injured escorted us to a doctor For sure will come again!

Good bed kind owner

I liked the peaceful environment, the spacious and clean room, and the owner's warm and considerate hospitality.

Nida and Geoff were the best hosts!! They were were attentive to whatever need we had, even inviting us to share a drink with them and gave us really good tips on what to do. Made us feel really at home there. Also the location was really good, far enough to be a quiet area but close enough to be in cloud nine in a few minutes by motorbike.

Facilities amazing and great location will always be staying there when in siargao

The yard is nice, the bed was pretty comfy, the host was helpful. There is free drinking water, parking for scooters. There are some cafes, laundry shops near by. All in one the vibe was good.

The room, the kitchen is very basic, and a bit outdated for the price. There is a construction right next door so it was a bit noisy, also you could hear people having party in the evening/night. The walls are thin so you also hear the neighbors if they are loud. The front door has a lot of space through which insects can get inside.

The confort, the cleanliness, the location everything

The location was near the bridge.

The room was very small compares to how it looks in the photos. There were cockroaches in the room. Nida was very rude to my wife and I. We were shocked as she must not care about her reviews. Would never go back. They also didn’t clean the room as promised.

Literally everything :-) The owners are very helpful, the place is clean and spacious, the location is also very good, it’s quiet and relaxing.

Wonderful stay with a lovely host. Location is perfect, close to everything but quiet, Nida is incredibly welcoming and helpful. Would stay again in a heartbeat

The place was incredible! I loved having a little porch outside the room. The bed was super comfortable, and I really appreciated that the toilet was separate from the shower. The WiFi was incredibly good and super fast. The location is perfect—Cloud 9 is a great area, not as chaotic as General Luna, but you can still find everything you need. Plus, it’s just a 10-minute ride to General Luna.

The room was a bit dark, and the AC was a little loud, but overall, it was a great stay!

Nida's place us in a quiet area north of General Luna but is close to several cafes shops and restaurants all within walking distance. A 5 to 10 minute walk and you reach the beach. It is also well placed for Cloud 9 ( surfing mecca) which you can easily walk to in about 15 minutes. A 15 / 20 minut tuk tuk / trike ride away is General Luna Centre. Numerous friendly bars and cafes are dotted along the way as well as small stores and massage businesses ( handy for unknotting the muscles after surfing) We stayed in a bungalow with shower and kitchen equipped with a 2 ring gas hob, kettle , fridge freezer and microwave. Our daughter stayed in an apartment with en suite shower and access to a communal kitchen. Both were equipped with air con in the bedroom and also electric fans. The bungalow interior was looking a little tired in places but was perfectly comfortable and functional. The shower itself is more up to date and worked well providing a nice hot shower - very welcome after a days sightseeing/ surfing. They are set in a beautiful garden which is well tended by the staff and is home to frogs, millipedes , caterpillars, a friendly cat and numerous colourful visiting birds. Nida's staff are very friendly and helpful but allow you space to relax and do your own thing. They also organised pick up and transfer back to the airport for us - all in all a lovely group of people.

Nothing major - a bit of repair work is needed to the sink in the bathroom.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Nidas Place on Siargao! From the moment we arrived, the hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. One of the highlights was when we all got together for a barbecue—it was such a fun and memorable experience that really added a special touch to our trip. The location is perfect: peaceful and quiet, yet just a short ride away from the lively center of General Luna. There are also plenty of great restaurants and cozy cafés nearby, so we were never short of options. We can’t recommend Nidas Place enough—fantastic hospitality, a relaxing vibe, and an ideal spot to enjoy Siargao. We’d come back in a heartbeat! – Valerie and Timur

Very nice place and nice location ! We had an issue with our aircondition and they replaced a new one the next day ! Very kind staff and owners

Good location. Nice garden with parking.

I arrived when there was a power outage on the whole island and after a few hiccups got settled in. Waking up to a gorgeous little patio overlooking gardens made my day. Brewed fresh coffee in the kitchen and Nida was available when I needed her. Great central location between GL and Cloud 9 Would stay here again!

Nice garden place on the main street but quiet at night! Clean room, kitchen on the side with refilling drinking water.

The only negative thing is that rooms are dark. Even with window not much light is going in, it's ok if you just sleep there but if it's raining all day and you have to stay in the room all day it's not enjoyable.

The owner, Geoff, is a friendly Aussie surfer. The property has a nice, big garden space. It’s in close to many restaurants but not in a loud, busy area. The room was very large with hot water, good WiFi, and aircon. We enjoyed our stay for sure!

We took a shared van to and from the airport (which costs 300 per person). When we returned to the airport the van driver was requesting 200 for our surfboard, which we never payed on the way there. It felt like a scam. The hotel owners wife wasn’t very helpful in speaking to the driver on our behalf, to work out a fair price.

Nice quite place and owners were amazing

We really liked the location with the proximity to our plans for our visit. Super peaceful and quiet. The hosts Nida and Geoff are really gracious and welcoming. Their property is well maintained. They made our first visit to Siargao memorable.

Second time in Siargao and it was easy choice - second time to this place also. I value the privacy I have there, its really quiet there compared to other places. And Nida and Jeff are sooo friendly and helpful, greetings again, thank you! Perfect stay! Plus!!! They have WIFI now🤙

Nida’s place was fantastic. Geoff and Nida were both so accommodating, helpful, and nice. We had a great stay here, some things we liked about the property were the beautiful garden, nice rooms with everything you need , convenient location close to General Luna, and ultimately great hosts!!

Geoff, Nida and George were absolutely amazing, so friendly and great hosts. They made our time in Siargao really special. Really spacious and clean room with a beautiful garden to chill out in. We had no power cuts here compared to other parts of the island where they were frequent. We will definitely be returning!

Nothing

From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Jeff and Nida. They are so helpful and had great recommendations. Large spacious room with AC and a communal kitchen. The property is so beautiful and well maintained. Location is great, short drive to the main area. Scooter rental right across the street.

Jeff and Nida are excellent hosts. I had a very good time both regarding my overall stay (very nice cottage!) and chatting with them occasionnaly. Despite having visited Siargao already, I still learnt about a couple of new places thanks to them.

( nothing. everything was fine for me)

Apartment near to cloud9 Jeff and nida were super friendly and give us some recommendation Perfect place to stay

Good position. Nice trees and garden. Nice vibe. Helpful staff.

Very basic. Don't expect too much. It has the bare minimum.

Very good value compared some of the other places in Siargao. Well equipped kitchen and spacious stay. Friendly hosts

If there was WiFi, this would've been even more perfect.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Nida's place. Jeff and Nida are warm and welcoming and immediately helped me with everything. The garden cottage was clean and spacious, a 5 litre water bottle was provided. I absolutely loved the garden, which is very well maintained. The location is super convenient, with easy access to local attractions, yet quiet. The breakfast restaurant next to the homestay, served really delicious and affordable meals. There are motorbike rentals next door and surf schools down the road. I highly recommend this place.

This was our best stay in the Philippines. Jeff and Nida were awesome. Loved being able to grill with beers in the evenings.

Great location as I'm the rooms are tucked away at the back of the property away from the main road. Close enough to walk to restaurants & only 1 minute ride to sunset bridge. Good location to stay if you surf as close both to the boat that heads to Stimpys & Rock Island but also Cloud 9! It's also less than 10 mins scooter ride to the hussle & bustle of General Luna. Lovely garden to relax in & have your morning coffee. Room is large with a big comfy bed, AC & an added bonus in my opinion a decent ceiling fan above the bed, seperate shower & toilet is also attached to each room. Both Nida & Jim are easy to talk to & can give you guidance on the area & arrange scooter rental, airport transfers. Super easy going & laid back, if you need your room.cleaned, fresh sheets or towels just ask & it will be done that day!

The only one minor thing that let's Nidas down is when we stayed there was no WIFI & unfortunately the mobile signal in the rooms isn't the best. In my opinion that is a very minor issue but I would definatley recommend & I would happily stay again at Nidas 🤙🏻

Good location, not noisy, really relax place. Will visit again, 100%. Jeff is so cool dude, surf🤙

It's a perfect location, I would recommend it. I arrived there early and the host was very flexible in allowing me to check in early. Perfect place if you're staying for more than a week. And very reasonable price.

Did not have a Wife but you not going to need one, a sim card is all you need. And the majority of the time you will be out exploring. The power will go out for like a few seconds sometimes when it rains, which is something no one can't control. But other than that I would still definitely recommend it. great place.

Very peaceful and quiet location, close to cloud 9, restos and bars beautiful green garden and sweet, helpful hosts

There are cups and glasses missing in the kitchen There is no chill spot (except for laying in the grass on a towel)

Bfast is N/A. Location is pk

Theres a room for improvement like: coffee mugs, glasses, hot water pot, table in the room, TV not working, no wifi. If the items mentioned above can be done, this place can be great.

The place is really near where you go out for surf which is really convenient and its super quiet so you get really good sleep!

The kitchen is not as clean and as well equipped as it looks in the pictures

Jeff e Nida are really funny and chilled hosts! We loved our stay at their place. The place is close to Cloud9 and a few minutes ride to the main restaurants and bars.

There is no wi-fi but it's a common thing in Siargao, so just chill out!

The place is very homie and very clean

Nothing.

Staying at Nida’s Place was the best decision for our time in General Luna. The accommodation is just around the corner of Cloud 9, so you can basically even walk there within a few minutes and go surfing or chill by the beach every day. The private room is really spacious and equipped with a comfy bed and nicely working fan and aircon as well as a small terrace. Everything was clean. The price is really fair, you will probably not find a better deal in the area. The kitchen is perfect to prepare breakfast or some meals and free drinking water supply is available. The garden and outdoor area in front of the rooms are really beautiful and taken care of really well. Nida (the host) will help you with anything, she is a lovely person and really communicative. We enjoyed staying at her beautiful home and can recommend her place to anyone. All the best, Paul.

Beautiful setting, lovely garden. Lots of nature frogs jumping round at night, 2 bunnies in a cage. Property was OK for us but it is basic and not luxury. We loved that there was a big kitchen fridge and little gas cooker so we could buy groceries and cook a few meals to save eating out. 10 minute walk from cloud 9 but plenty of restaurants on the way. Nida was available if we needed.

Some parts need some TLC. Kitchen pans need a good clean before use as lots of mould in cupboards.

great location for everywhere you want to go.

nothing

Feels like home - very welcoming hosts. Good quite location but also close to General Luna and Sunset bridge and Cloud 9 surfing are. You can easily rent a motorbike here and find some local restaurants. I was supposed to stay 11 nights but extended 2 times because I loved it. Thanks a lot guys for making my stay here an amazing memory to remember!! 🙏❤️

Everything was great

We had a great time at Nida’s. The owners are super friendly, the location is close to Cloud 9, the rooms are spacious and the shared kitchen was a great addition.

N/A

Jeff and Nida are amazing host. They are so friendly and helped us with everything we needed. The Room was quite big and the location is very good to. There is a covered Parking space for the motorbike and a big garden, where you can hang your wet clothes for drying. We also loved george the dog …

The aircon was a bit noisy and the bathroom is small and has no space to leave the toilet bag (but luckily there is enough spce in the room to place it there)

Clean and comfortable rooms which were a good size. The location is good if you want to go surfing at jacking horse or cloud 9. It is a walk or a short drive to the restaurants and bars. Jeff and Nida were really friendly and helpful, we would definitely stay here again.

The kitchen could do with some TLC but it was functional.

privacy respected quite comfy but with errant mosquitoes getting into the room

kitchen should have kept clean and organized. although this is a commonly used room and organization defends on how the quests use and keep it, intervention by a full or regular staff could have made it cleaner nd hygienic - floors ought to be regularly mopped and counter dusted & wiped.

Comfortable bed and powerful hot shower. Shower is separated from the toilet. Generally clean room which was cleaned upon request. There is a communal kitchen with a stove, fridge and a few utensils. Some eateries/small shops nearby but quite far from General Luna center area (40mins by foot) if you don’t have a (motor)bike. Nice lush garden.

Make sure to contact the host shortly before your arrival since she forgot about my booking so I had to wait >1 hour before I could check in and another hour for the room to be prepared. Owner should work on her attitude and service towards guests. Room is definitely much more basic than what is shown in the pictures. Furniture is dated. AC works well but has to be turned on/off awkwardly by standing on the bed and reaching for the AC itself (high), no remote available. Loose power outlets causing plugs to disconnect frequently. Bathroom is built without ventilation so had an awful and unhealthy smell. Good to stress again there is no wifi available. Many crooks allowing mosquitoes and other bugs to enter the room while there is no bed net. Toilet seat is loose and does not fit properly so it forms a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Nida and her entire family were super welcoming and friendly. We always felt well looked after and really enjoyed the stay there. The location is fantastic, as it is close enough to town to be able to reach everywhere within 10 minutes whilst also in a rather quiet area with less traffic. Beautiful garden and the water heater in the shower worked really well which was great for those post-rainy-surf showers.

Extremely nice people, very helpful. Very good location and quiet with beautiful garden. Motorbike rental possible, cleaning whenever you wanted. Thanks for evrrything :)

Sometimes not enough fresh air in room, kitchen not so clean.

large living area, bathroom is separate from bedroom. hot water. ac worked well

No wifi, some bugs and a lizard in the house. difficult to find because no signage (iron gets across from Gilda’s store if you’re looking for it).

Nida is super friendly and welcoming. Whenever you run into her she tries to have a chat with you and is always giving you tips about the island or asks if you need anything. The property is really nice with a cute garden and she even has 2 bunnies. The location is fantastic right next to the cloud nine. The room is really spacious and the toilet is seperate from the shower. It has a kitchen outside for you to use with a free drinking water.

Unfortunately, while we were visiting it was raining everyday and the room took on a musky smell because nothing was able to completely dry at any time.

Perfect place to stay if you want to be near the GL area and only a 2min scooter ride to Cloud 9! the room was spacious and clean, nice garden and terrace. The owner, Nida, was so friendly and helpful with everything!! 10/10 would recommend!

Friendly host who welcomed us to her home. The place is located near Cloud 9. We liked the homey feeling of this homestay and how it was located away from the hustle and bustle of General Luna.

It would be helpful to have signage out the front of the property as we weren’t sure if we were in the right place.

Ate Nida, the host was very nice to us during our stay at the property. Some of the things she did for us, which we are very grateful for and did not expect, include the following: she allowed us to leave our stuff early, since we arrived in the morning; provided motorcycle rental; offered surfing lessons; even offered us a drink!; she also contacted airport transfer for us. In addition, she is easy to talk to and contact when needed. Thank you Ate Nida for your kindness and friendly smiles. We look forward to staying with you and visiting Siargao again in the future.

the property is clean and the owner is nice overall our stay in this place is great!

- the owner Nida and her husband was so helpful! they always bring a water to our room and help us for everything. -location is perfect, very near cloud 9. - very good kitchen - clean and nice place!

I really liked the property because it was very clean and it had basically everything. There are sari-sari store right in front which was super convenient. It is located in Catangnan area - walking distance to known food establishment such as Catangan Bbq, CFC etc. It's also near the Catangnan Bridge. You definetely need to rent a motorcycle to get along the island if you truly want to experience everything plus it's also handy to rent for easier transportation because tricycles were very rare in this area. As per the neighborhood, it was very quiet which i liked, neighbors and owners were very friendly too. If there are any concerns, I'm sure they can be easily contacted. I'd definitely go back again here whenever I'm back in Siargao. Thank you!

Nida and her partner Jeff where so nice all the time making our stay very home like. we used their barbecue place and had an amazing barbecue with our friends ! it’s a big place spacious and super comfortable

everything was perfect !

Its a home away from home.
