CoombsGuestHouse

Easy to find

Location, it's far from the spot everything is happening.

The location and shop downstairs

The tv did not work, the bathroom had lots of roaches

This is a perfectly decent cheap option if you are not picky about a high level of aesthetics and tranquility. Located near to the port it is ideal for an overnight stay to rest.

Quite loud on a main road, but not easy to avoid. Not sufficient kitchen tools to even boil some eggs or enable self catering.

Excellent place, very convenient since it’s close to the port where you arrive on the island. You can walk here from the port (a 7- to 8-minute walk). You don’t need to rent a motorcycle at the port—you can rent one from the owner of the place. Everything is very clean, cozy, and spacious. If you like animals, you’ll really enjoy your stay because there are lots of cute kittens and puppies living on the property. Maria is a great host—very kind and helpful. Fast internet 🛜. 100% recommended.

Everything’s good 👍🏻

L’emplacement de l’établissement est très pratique pour une nuit de transit proche du port. La chambre est spacieuse équipée d’une kitchenette et d’un balcon. Le personnel est serviable, et propose la location de scooter.

L’isolation du bâtiment n’est pas très récente et il est situé sur l’axe principal ce qui est extrêmement bruyant. La pression de la douche est faible voir inexistante, difficile de se faire un shampoing. Les prises électriques ne sont pas internationales et il est difficile de charger des équipements même avec un adaptateur.

Very helpful and accommodating staff

Toilet was not working properly

De grote nieuwe kamer met 2 aparte bedden.

Niets

L’appartement était grand et propre

Trop bruyant, donnait sur une route principale, face à une station service. Des 5 h 30 du matin, le va et vient des voitures et motos. Pas de double vitrages

Spacious, great wifi and a nice terrace. Host was very accommodating.

No drinking water.

The lady owner is very friendly and helpful. Always willing to bring or grab you with her nice Hilux. The hotel is just a short walk into town to have a coffee or breakfast. Very spacious room, quite new. And if there’s anything that needs attention the landlord directly comes to fix it.

You need to be aware that the hotel is situated at a busy road, so at night you still hear the noise of the traffic. The price/quality therefore is very good

Maria the owner was very nice and helpful. Large room and bathroom. Nice hot water in the shower. Comfy bed.

Very noisy location. You need a scooter to go everywhere.

Das Zimmer war groß, das Wasser war nach einiger Zeit auch zur Verfügung bei der Dusche, es gab einen Kühlschrank, und einen kleinen Balkon zu Lautenstraße. Die Besitzerin war durch unsere Last Minute Buchung etwas überrascht, kam aber sofort in das Gästehaus, um den Checkin vorzubereiten. Wir haben dort übernachtet, um die Früh Fähre nach Buchholz zu bekommen.

Das guest House liegt an der Durchfahrtstraße, und es ist auch nachts relativ laut, obwohl bei geschlossener Tür der Lärm ganz gut zu ertragen ist. Ansonsten gab es keinerlei Beanstandungen, man kann das Gästehaus auf jeden Fall empfehlen, wenn man eine Fähre am frühen Morgen nimmt oder eher spät abend in Siquijor ankommt..

Großes Zimmer und sehr sauber. Insgesamt angenehmer Aufenthalt.

Die Dusche hatte einmal ein Problem mit dem Wasser, wurde aber schnell behoben – danach alles gut.

La gentilezza e la simpatia della proprietaria e della sua collaboratrice. Letto fatto al momento quindi lenzola e fodere dei cuscini pulite cosi pure quelle da decorazione. La distanza dal porto era perfetta. Camera spaziosa e dotata del necessario.

L'unico lato negativo é l'affaccio sulla strada principale che durante il giorno é trafficata ma di notte é accettabile. La proprietaria é stata anche gentile a dirlo e che se volevamo aveva un'altra struttura fuori dal traffico. Abbiamo detto che per una notte andava bene cosi. In bagno c'erano delle perdite di acqua dal soffitto siccome aveva piovuto.

Die Nähe zum Fährenterminal

Es war laut, da gleich an der Hauptstraße und auch sehr laute Musik die ganze Nacht.

L’hôte est adorable le lieux est situé à environ 15 / 20 min de tout.

Il n’y a pas d’isolation nous étions réveillé tout les jours à 5h on entends tout on dirait qu’il n’y a même pas de fenêtre vraiment c’est le gros points négatifs parce que sinon tout est nickel

La gentillesse de l’hôte la chambre était très spacieuse et très propre

Malheureusement il y a beaucoup de circulation dans la rue donc prévoyez des bouchons d’oreille pour dormir

Very big room, fantastic value for money

Good sized room and comfortable

Thr refrigerator didn't work

DIDN'T HAVE BREAKFAST THERE

WIFI THAT ACTUALLY WORKED AND WATER THAT DIDNT RUN OUT

Seulement à 10min à pied du port, ce logement est parfait ! La chambre est vraiment très grande et spacieuse. Les propriétaires sont aux petits soins ! C’était parfait merci à vous !

Big room, lot of space.

Die Gastgeberin ist ausgesprochen freundlich, serviceorientiert und herzlich. Wir haben uns bei ihr sehr wohl gefühlt und die fuhr uns sogar morgens zum Hafen. Wir verbrachten die zwei Nächte in einem anderen Gebäude als gebucht, weil es wohl Probleme mit dem ursprünglichen Zimmer gab. Wir waren positiv überrascht: es war sehr ruhig, sauber und scheinbar vollkommen neu. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wasserdruck vor allem in der Dusche sehr niedrig.

Grande chambre, spacieuse confortable avec cuisine, frigo et canapé dans la chambre. Le lit était très confortable et la clim était très bien.

L'isolation sonore des fenêtres laisse à désirer, on entendait comme si il n'y avait pas de fenêtre. C'est dommage car c'est placé devant la route principale donc très très bruyante!

Clean comfortable large room

Unfortunately one of the rooms (room C) had bed bugs, cockroaches, ants and smelt very strongly of mould. One of guests left and booked elsewhere because they felt uncomfortable staying in that room. I contacted the property, to no avail. They were not compensating or helpful by any means. Room A was okay. The shower water smelt of sewage, so we showered at the other guests’ new accommodation. We stayed for 3 of the 4 nights in room A, and it was okay but I would never come again.

Convenience to various businesses.

The noise.

•    Friendly Hosts: The hosts were exceptionally welcoming. They were always available to assist with any queries.     •    Clean Room: The room was spotlessly clean upon arrival. However was not maintained during our stay.     •    Good Value for Money: Considering the price point, the accommodation offered good value. Basic amenities were provided, and the overall experience met expectations for the cost.

Areas for Improvement:     •    Non-Functional Bathroom Fan: Unfortunately, the bathroom fan was not working during our stay. This resulted in poor ventilation and a lingering unpleasant smell in the room, which impacted our comfort.     •    Ongoing Construction: The property appeared to still be under construction in certain areas. The presence of a building site detracted from the overall atmosphere and caused some disruption from 8am onwards.     •    Mismatched Property Images: The photos provided during booking did not accurately represent the specific property we were assigned. We were under the impression we would be staying in the main hotel shown online, but instead were placed in a newer, separate building. This was unexpected and confusing upon arrival.     •    Weak WiFi Signal: The WiFi connection did not reach our room, which was inconvenient, especially for planning activities and staying connected during our trip.     •    No Mirror Above the Sink: The absence of a mirror above the bathroom sink was inconvenient for daily routines such as shaving or applying makeup. It’s a basic feature that would have improved the practicality of the bathroom.     •    Uncomfortable Mattress: The mattress was quite hard and not particularly comfortable, making it difficult to get a restful night’s sleep. A softer or higher-quality mattress would greatly enhance the stay.

The room was very big and clean, only issue we had was the water pressure being nearly existent! Around 15 minutes drive from the main shops and restaurants! It was a nice stay

We had a great, big, clean room with ac and balcony. We also had a fridge, kettle and sink. Everything was very clean. wifi was good.

The accomodation is located directly next to a main street so it was very noisy during the night.

Brand new room in new building, seemed to be insulated and the a/c was very silent. Owner was very welcoming and helpful.

Water pressure was very low. No water or other drinks were available need to bring everything ourself from shops.

Amazing place !! And the lady who runs the place is the funniest ! Thanks

Great location, close to the ferry port. Lovely room and very comfy bed. 2 shops below which were very convenient. Staff very helpful when arranging scooter for hire and taxi to port. Would recommend

Firstly we arrived at the guesthouse late at night, once we arrived the staff were so friendly they welcomed us to our room. To our surprise they had decorated the room so beautifully with fresh flowers and a little teddy for our anniversary the best personal touch. The location is great only 10 mins drive from the port, also 15-20 mins drive from the beach. The location was safe and below the guesthouse was a small local shop to pick up water and a couple snacks The room was very clean including towels and bed linen, it was very spacious and perfect for a couple traveling. the need was comfortable, no issues with the WiFi and good air con The staff were really friendly and provided us with a pleasant surprise for our anniversary and always got back to us via whats app instantly. We stayed there for 3 nights and it was great value for money would recommend this accommodation. I would happily stay here again.

No issues at all, we didn't ask about the wifi sooner - would just suggest to leave the login details for the wifi in the room.

Very nice room with everything working well. Hot shower. Comfortable bed. Very helpful staff.

Just could have done with a water dispenser

Huge room, super clean, early check in no problem. Did our laundry really well. Fridge and kettle and sink a bonus and a table to eat at. Quiet air con. Bed was huge and really comfy with super linen. We slept so well. Little shops underneath for emergency snacks! Bathroom is biggest we have seen and everything was so sparkling clean. They really care about the guest experience and know how to deliver it. Best value place we stayed for what you get here. Little terrace in the sun was perfect for drying our wet swimmers.

Couldn’t get hot water to work but didn’t bother us as a Luke warm / cool shower was everything in the heat! We prefer it. Probably just needed switching on somewhere.

Really big rooms! Comfy bed, good ventilation, little kitchen… super friendly staff!

Street is loud

Large room, newly refurbished. Excellent AC. Pictures were accurate. Super convenient to catch the early speed boat to bohol.

The guesthouse is next to a main road and facing a petrol station. Gets a little loud.

The biggest room and bathroom I've stayed in yet on my travels around the Philippines. Great location, not far from the pier. Spotlessly clean and super comfortable bed. I would most certainly stay here again.

Nothing

The room is very large and well equipped with wardrobe fridge kitchen appliances and super clean

If you are a light sleeper, keep in mind the Property front the main road but it is walking distance to the ferry so it’s great

The room was spacious.

We booked a room based of the pictures and descriptions listed on booking. However, when we arrived we were informed that these rooms were full and we’d have to stay in a separate outhouse. This room was very different from what we were advertised, the wifi did not reach at all and the water cut out for several hours. We tried messaging and waiting at reception at around 3pm we couldn’t find any staff to fix the issue. We only heard back from staff the next day after we have already left the property.

spacious

It was like having my own apartment. I had to remote work during my stay and it was a great place to do that. There were also plates and cutlery in case you wanted to eat there. The room was very big and confortable and the lady that assisted me really nice. She also helped me renting a motorbike. Very close to the port.

Amazing spacious room with little kitchenette, balcony , sofa , table and bed. Hot water .. first place we have come across in the Philippines so far with hot water! The staff are so lovely and helpful. Perfect location 10 minute walk away from the pier. We moved here from the south coast of the island the night before our ferry so make it easier in the morning and it was perfect! Wish we could have stayed longer it was so comfortable!!

Good WiFi

Ants everywhere, head shower falling always. Noisy from the road

convenience and accessibility

none

The room was really big, there was a little kitchen included, AC, couch, balcony,… The bathroom was big too and had hot water. The location was close to the pier and very central. I liked my stay there, people around help you with everything.

Very great room, really large with great facilities such as a fridge and kettle. The lady who checked us in was very friendly and gave us bottles of water and coffee and milo. She also works in the shop below if you want any snacks or drinks for a reasonable price. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Great for the price. It’s close to the Siquijor port if that is where you’re going from.

The location is not great for restaurants and bars, these are in a separate place in Siquijor.

The staffs are friendly and clean rooms 💕

Great accommodation, owner was alway on hand for any help that was needed, large clean rooms

The brown outs, although that is nothing to do with the accommodation, just a feature of the island

nice big room with sink and kettle and a fridge!! not many places we’ve been in philippines have had fridges so that was great. 10 min walk to the port. bed super comfy. staff were lovely and the owners really nice too.

just a few ants but that’s like everywhere in south east asia, you can’t help it.

It was clean, comfortable, quiet and Maria was absolutely amazing! She was so friendly and helpful that it felt like coming home!

I really like it. It’s super spacious and clean. Maria was so kind and attentive to my requests. I’ll give her 5 stars ❤️

The water pressure in the shower is not that good

Pretty nice experience overall. Thank you!

We ended up staying at Coombs' place for 10 nights to explore Siquijor. It offers great value, with a very clean and spacious room. Having a little kitchenette area with a small fridge made it convenient for making tea or instant coffee in the morning. The AC worked well and was really quiet, and the WiFi was reliable for our remote work. There were also hot water showers and a spacious bathroom, while the room darkening curtains were really helpful. Housekeeping was available regularly upon request. Maria, our host, was super helpful, attentive, and responsive throughout our stay. The location is just a 10-15 minute walk to the pier and less than 10 minutes to the nearest recommended restaurant. It's best to hire a scooter to get around, as it's still a distance from the main attractions and from any bars and a wider selection of places to eat and drink. There is a petrol station conveniently situated across the road. Maria recommended a great rental company nearby, not far from the house and pier. Additionally, there are a couple of small convenience shops downstairs selling basics like drinking water and beer. The balcony overlooks the main road, across from the petrol station. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay, and Maria was super lovely and accommodating, providing helpful recommendations on places to visit in Siquijor!

We had a very comfortable stay and Maria was a delightful host. This sad, it’s probably important to be aware There is a lot of street noise from the busy main road in front of the house. We are from large urban cities and have gotten used to it, but it's something to be aware of. Perhaps in the future, double glazing could be installed.

Very comfy, AC worked well, toilet was clean and the shower was hot (or cold if you like). It's located just above a shop so you can get essentials there, and it's walking distance from a few places to eat. There was a motorbike rental downstairs too, so I rented a bike for 450 pesos a day, and used that. If you can't ride it might be a little less convenient as it's not super close to the islands attractions. But there are plenty of trikes and taxis to take you wherever.

The only thing I can point out is that the TV channels didn't seem to work, and one plug socket was dodgy (for the fridge and kettle) but that was fixed the next day so no issues.

Interesting location, above some local stores easy access to town of Siquijor

On major road across from gas station

One of the best accommodations during our south east Asia trip. The room was spacious and clean, there were several options nearby to eat breakfast, and we were also able to rent a motorbike with the guest house. Linda, our host, was super kind and helpful!

Nothing to stay it’s perfect I regret booking something else for the rest of my stay in siquijor

Very friendly staff and the room was huge and very nice.

Nothing

We liked everything about the place. We liked it so much we extended our stay.

A little street noise during the day, but after sunset no problem, definitely not a big deal.

Large room, exceptionally clean, fast wifi, fridge,Satellite TV. Friendly and efficient staff. Definitely our go to place when visiting Siquijor.

The room was spacious, comfortable and clean.

It’s located on the main road, so it can be loud, but we were out during the daytime, so we weren’t bothered.

The room and the stuff. Actually everything!

Nope

Everything

Nope

Great room. Very spacious and comfortable. The shower had good water pressure and was very nice.

Unfortunately there was a bit of road noise.

It was extremely clean and comfortable and I was surprised at how spacious the room was.

The location was away from the beach but if you just rent a scooter, the island is so small you can get pretty much anyway.
