Le restaurant avec la vue sur l océan. La literie. Le lieu. La location de scooter...
Les murs très fins. On entend éternuer dans la chambre d à côté.
Établissement très propre, et très bien entretenu, le room service est impeccable. L'accès a la plage se fait par le restaurant, indépendant de l'hôtel. Proche de très belles plages et bien situé pour les visites.
L'établissement est regroupée avec le restaurant, mais la gestion des deux est indépendante. Prix des petits déjeuners un peu élevés. Les chambres sont un peu petites pour 4 personnes.
The location is excellent, right on the island’s main street. The room is clean and comfortable — simple, but with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The staff were incredibly attentive and kind throughout our stay. The restaurant offers good food for a fair price, and the beachfront view is absolutely stunning. The sunset, in particular, is breathtaking — truly, truly beautiful. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to stay and we really enjoyed our experience.

Excellent location, right by a nice beach and in the middle of Paliton and Tubod, clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff. The on site restaurant is great for breakfast and has live music at dinner. They also organise tours at reasonable rates.
The shower door in room 2 is difficult to open and close
无敌海景
Everything!
Toujours un plaisir de séjourner dans cet hotel. Il s'agit de mon troisième séjour. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable et le restaurant de l'hotel offre une vue incroyable et une plage paradisiaque avec des prix plus que raisonnables. Sans compter la très bonne localisation.

The room was huge and had almost everything we needed, we rented mopeds there and the entrance to the hotel is fantastic. Loads of great restaurants nearby too. Really comfortable.
Ants in the bathroom 😞 they were there when we got there and were still going strong when we left. I also felt the staff could’ve give more of an outline on what there is to do in siquijor on arrival.
Property is located in the center near many establishments perfect if you want to explore the town. Staffs are very helpful and nice people.
Not a big deal but the bidet hose is very strong that it’s kinda difficult to use however we managed.
La gentillesse du personnel, la vue du restaurant, la chambre propre, grande et calme.

I loved that it was central to most of the entertainment hub in San Juan. The location itself is picturesque.
Very poor to non existent wifi connection.
The location was fab, everything you needed. Room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant great. Overlooking beach and sunsets !
Slight roadside noise in our room, but nothing too bad.
The staff is really kind!!! World class service they offered. We were treated special.
There are ants on the table.
The local staff was incredibly accommodating and generous, the accommodations were clean, and the cuisine was delicious! Special thanks to Philip and Kuya Joseph.
We are a travelling group and availed two rooms and their tour package. From the time booking was made, the response time was fast. Every query is answered. Upon arrival, the staff will welcome you with a smile. They are very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are spacious, clean, and equipped with complete amenities, including toiletries, a blower, a fridge, duvets, hot and cold showers, towels, and complimentary coffee. You can say it’s well thought out. The bar and restaurant food are great, paired with music from live band at night. Love the vibes, the view, and the aesthetic of the place both morning and night. Moreover, the place has its generator. Power interruption is not an issue! We also suggest booking their tours. Kuya Albert, our driver and guide, is very friendly and has lots of suggestions, which was very helpful. We've been availing group tours offered by our accommodations in the past, but this is the first time the tour has provided us with beach towels. It’s very thoughtful of them, given that we will get wet with all the water-related activities. I was excited for the beach, but we arrived right at high tide, so no sand in sight! Guess it's a perfect excuse to come back and see it at low tide. 😉 Lastly, if you want to explore restaurants, the location is very walkable or near other food options too! Highly recommended place! -------------------------------- P.S. Their post-stay customer service deserves a shoutout too! I was pleasantly surprised when they messaged me with a photo of something we left behind in the room. Such a thoughtful gesture!
The bathroom door needs repair, it is made of wood and has cracks. Other than that it's all good. Although this is not related to the accommodation, be aware that phone signals may be unavailable during a power interruption.
Overall the beddings, etc are comfortable. The room smells fresh. They have a restaurant on site.
It's not soundproof and the group of young adults in the room next to us were very noisy at night and there was no staff I could find to raise our complaint.
Location
Restaurant was closed and no daily cleaning of the room included
L emplacement de l'hôtel, au bord de la plage (magnifique coucher de soleil). Une superbe décoration. Un bon restaurant à un prix raisonnable (musique live le week end), bon petit déjeuner. Personnel agréable. La bonne surprise de notre séjour à Siquijor.
La salle de bain, pas moderne.
Perfect location. The host Ms. Cyril and Mr. JetWin were very friendly and took care of our needs. Check in and checkout was very smooth. The restaurant in Swakihan is very good with beachside view. Beach is easily accessible. Staffs are friendly and always with a smile. It is near dive centers and tricycles are easy to find. It is only 10 to 15 minutes from Port area. Family room is large enough. Room is equipped with Smart Tv which is great for Youtube. We went to Tubod Santuary and Tulapos. I must say Tubod has better marine life.
Brownouts in Siquijor
A lot! Its strategic location in the island and how it's situated at the beach front. The ambience which is very calming and relaxing. The staff including the owner themselves are very helpful and made our stay a little bit more special with how they connect with their guests. These on top of what the island can offer. 🙂
Not with the property but how transport to the island can be a bit of pain. Otherwise, our stay was lovely despite it being cut short due to unforeseen circumstances.
La habitación estaba muy limpia, la cama cómoda. El restaurante con vistas al mar es espectacular.
Excellent hôtel Un personnel au petit soin, tous les soirs il y a un groupe qui vient chanter Les repas sont très bons et cette vue à couper le souffle Nous reviendrons ici pour notre prochain passage Encore merci
Le cadre, le personnel, la vue, l’emplacement La chambre est très bien
Good servings for breakfast. All of it.
Low tide. But it's a natural thing, can't do justice to it.
Wifi is to slow The property is in good place
It's in San Juan near lots of bars and restaurants. It's also a beachfront property with an excellent view of the sunset. Good value for what you pay for in that area. The staff are nice and friendly. The beach isn't exactly swimmable but it is a very pretty view.
close to everything, good food, nice room, good service
The owner is so accomodating and extended extra effort to make our stay hassle free.
Love the location, the restaurant, and the staff! - Location is close to a lot of restaurants, spas, and convenience stores. - The restaurant serves really great food and the view is superb, which was further emphasized by how they designed their seating areas. - What we love most about Swakihan are their amazing staff. We rented a car for two days to get around Siquijor and kuya Joseph was helpful, friendly, and super chill. The concierge staff also helped us go to other locations via tuktuk and took us back to the port. We’re also really grateful that they accommodated us for late dinner after we got our massages from a spa which they also recommended. Thank you so much for accommodating us with our requests ♥️
None really
romantische Lage wenn man auf Sonnenuntergänge steht,
naja ist halt eine einfache Ausstattung der Zimmer (zB. TV ohne Fb.).
the ambiance is good… the room is clean; the staff were courteous and very helpful; the owner is welcoming and kind
some food in the menu were not available at the tome of visit and stay….
Su ubicacion. La habitacion 7 triple era amplia y espaciosa. Los atardeceres desde aqui son espectaculares. Puedes entrar facilmente desde el hotel a la playa.
El A/A es antiguo y hace mucho ruido. Tuve 2 problemas con el hotel. El primero es que teniamos el desayuno incluido en nuestra reserva y 3 dias antes nos escribieron que nos lo quitaban y teniamos que pagarlo. A 3 dias de la reserva no la puedes anular en Siquijor porque te arriesgas a ir a un sitio peor y mas caro. NO me parece justo y en cuanto llegue a Espsña me pondre en contacto con Booking para poner una queja. Ppr otro lado es un hotel al que van muchos jovenes filipinos y no paran de poner la musica alta a todas horas, gritan mucho y no te dejan dormir ni por la noche ni por la mañana temprano. Tuve que bajar 2 veces a recepcion para que les obligaran a quitar la musica.
Clean and updated property and rooms. Nice outside atmosphere. Nice dining area to view sunset. Good area on San Juan. Good place for adults / couples.
Not the best place for a family to stay. Really wish we had access to a pool. None of us were a fan of the restaurant food or drinks. We only ate there once and wouldn’t eat there again. Our motorbikes were poor condition with VERY high km. We barely made it back with one because it sounded like the engine was going to fall out. They were good about it and didn’t charge us for that one that day and found us a new one.
Location is right on the beach and the restaurant area is very pretty
The restaurant service is slow. We left before 7am and were told no to a coffee because we had to wait for the Barman to arrive. Food at the restaurant isn’t great at all u are better off going to the restaurants down the st.
The best! Clean, nice view and instagramable place.

Excellent over-all stay. Staff service is above and beyond, super friendly and accommodating. Ambiance is zen, clean and relaxing with beautiful decors. They have knowledgable guides for your island tour needs. You can also rent motorbikes. 100% Highly-recommended.
None.
Le logement est spacieux et très propre. Le personnel est génialissime, très agréable et très serviable. Je recommande à 100% !
Sehr gutes Hotel für paar Tage auf Siquior zu verbringen. Personal sehr freundlich. Wir sind als Gäste gekommen und als Freunde gegangen.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A beautiful, nicely decorated small hotel right on the beach. Live music every night. Good food. Staff try helpful and friendly. We'd love to come back! Thank you, Swakihan, for a wonderful stay!
Nothing!
Fantastisk mysig restaurang och fantastisk personal Vi kommer tillbaka! Varma hälsningar Marie

Great location near the beach, restaurants, and easy to reach by tricycle. Clean room with fresh bed sheets. Friendly and helpful staff.
The guesthouse has a restaurant, Salawaki, with live music in the evenings, which can be a bit loud until 10:00 PM. The walls between rooms are a little thin, so you might hear noise from neighboring rooms, and sometimes the shower water pressure is weak. However, this didn’t impact my overall stay. 👍🏻
The owner of the property will do whatever he can to help. We enjoyed the downstairs shared area and library swap. Rooms are small but well designed with safety boxes, multiple mirrors, hangers, mini fridge and comfortable beds. Location is great- within walking distance to everything… though this was also a downfall in terms of noise.
There’s a hostel directly across the road and the music is LOUD. The music stops anywhere between 10:30pm-12am in the hostel so make sure to bring earplugs if you plan to sleep earlier.
The property is much more then the photos.Excelent location,seaside,good restaurant and bar.
Wir wurden so herzlich umsorgt und hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit. Das gesamte Team ist so herzlich. Die Unterkunft ist modern, sauber und komfortabel. Das Restaurant bietet leckere Speisen und das Meer direkt vor dem Restaurant ist einfach traumhaft. Durch die Gezeiten hatten unsere Kinder eine riesige Badelandschaft zum Spielen. Wer schwimmen möchte, kann sich zum nahegelegenen Strand fahren lassen oder selbst fahren.
Schönes Restaurant
Zimmer nicht gemäss Beschreibung. Wir hatten anfänglich kein Fenster und kein Balkon. Das Zimmer konnten wir dann wechseln mit einem, welches ein Fenster hatte und direkt zur Hauptstrasse lag. Balkon hatten wir nach wie vor keinen. Die erste Nacht war ok. Die zweite Nacht (Freitagnacht) war jedoch sehr laut von der Strasse her, dass wir kein Auge zugemacht hatten. Beide Zimmer hatten Kakerlaken. Zu unserem Erstaunen wurde auch das Zimmer am Morgen nicht gemacht. Man hätte den Schlüssel bei der Reception hinterlegen sollen. Dies hat uns niemand gesagt. Was auch gefehlt hat, waren Nachttischlampen. Es hatte nur eine Deckenbeleuchtung. Für uns war die gute Bewertung dieses Hotels nicht nachvollziehbar.
Zimmer super ausgestattet, anliegendes Restaurant mit toller Aussicht über das Meer und gutem Essen und Live-Musik.
they were very accomodating with our requests. i asked for more pilllows and they willingly provided us with more. i asked if we can still use the motorbike that we rented the next day to buy boat tickets in siquijor and they let us use it for free. most importantly, my 1 year old had fever and cough and was having an asthma attack and he needed to be nebulized, and they had a nebulizer which they had us use for free! overall, staff were great, friendly, and accomodating. the ambience was nice, and gold was great too! big servings!
Wonderful location Very helpful and friendly staff The hotel provides port transfer and island tour services with their own very-clean tuktuk and the price is the same as other tuktuk on the street. Strongly recommend
Staff remember my girlfriend and me From before very friendly we request and receive the same room as before live music was very good food excellent Staff courteous we will return again soon many thanks for our great stay

Clean room, The food in the restaurant was excellent, friendly staff.
Wir waren 4 Nächte hier und fühlten uns wie zuhause. Das lag insbesondere an den äußerst herzlichen und freundlichen Besitzern. Wir fühlten uns sehr gut aufgenommen und sie halfen uns bei allen Fragen weiter. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet und geräumig, die Klimaanlage war relativ modern und leise. Das Frühstück ist lecker und wir haben die tolle Lage am Meer genossen.
staff were all friendly and helpful. it was accessible. you should try their swakihan spaghetti with a side dish of mantis shrimp, very delicious.
i would appreciated if they have water heater for coffee
