Provider-sourced guest reviews.
El personal era super atento. El hotel era muy completo, tenia muchas cosas entre cositas para comprar, billar, dardos. El desayuno es puro filipino y muy bueno
Quien vaya que se prepare porque los gallos no callan ni un segundo del dia, asi que si eres de sueño ligero lleva tapones. La manguera de la ducha tenia lo que parecia ser moho
They opened the gate for me to park my rental car.
Sin duda, el mejor lugar en el que me he alojado en Filipinas. La limpieza es impecable, ni una sola gota de polvo en ninguna parte. Tampoco había ningún tipo de bichos ni animales (ni perros ni gatos), lo cual se agradece muchísimo. El personal es extremadamente amable, atento y servicial en todo momento. Además, la relación calidad-precio es sencillamente excepcional. ¡Lo recomiendo al 100%!
Todo fabuloso.
Muy buena relación calidad-precio. La zona exterior es muy agradable, la azotea también. Alquilan motos a buen precio. Disponen de traslado al aeropuerto.
La ducha huele a azufre y tiene poca presión.

The location of the property
The bathroom
NOGS homestay is truly a beautiful building and property in the small town of Pilaring. It’s about 2/3 of the way from General Luna to Pacifico. 45 min to GL, 18 to Pacifico and 45 to Alegria way in the north. Nogs, Mark, Renz and the rest of the team do a wonderful job keeping the property spotless and comfortable for guests. The breakfast every morning is cooked to order, coffee is unlimited, and there are even kayaks for free use at high tide. We loved this about NOGS homestay. We also enjoyed the covered working/dining area with beautiful mangrove wood tables and benches that allowed us to work outside even in the rain.
The only downside of NOGS is the location being slightly off the beaten path and the lack of nearby restaurants, although Pacifico has plenty of great options (we LOVED Chévere). Also, the power went out quite frequently in the little town of Pilaring which caused the WiFi to be spotty, and we went one night without air conditioning until the wee hours of the morning when it kicked back on.
The nicest staff I’ve ever experienced. Amazing facilities
A bit noisy at night (not much noise cancellation) WiFi wasn’t too strong (understandable considering the area)
Vriendelijk personeel Propere kamer Mooi uitzicht dakterras Rustig Gratis kajak
Ligt ver van alles af (activiteiten, luchthaven, stranden, horeca,… Je moet echt een scooter huren om hier te blijven overnachten en het er dan nog voor over hebben om in de donker terug te rijden. Communicatie voor aankomst is niet mogelijk. Als je vragen hebt voor aankomst wordt er niet gereageerd hierop.
Tout est très bien !
This place was the perfect introduction to Siargao, a quiet glimpse into the local way of living. The room is spacious, and the internet is reliable enough for work. I highly recommend it.

Gute Lage und schöne Zimmer. Das Personal ist nett und hilfsbereit.
The quiet surroundings, the proximity to Magpupungko Pools and Pacifico Beach, the warm and welcoming staff, the privacy and space within the NOGS Homestay. I love the view of the mangroves. I love the little salon/living room where there are snacks and drinks available for guests through an honesty pay system. There are also water coolers in various parts of the property to refill your water bottles. You must try the Turon prepared by Jolly! Thank you to Renz and Marites for taking care of my family during our stay! The rooms are basic but we had what we needed for a good night's sleep. It rained for a couple of days when we were in Siargao. It felt great we were in a comfortable place during this rainy spell. The place is perfect to for digital nomads to set up for a longer stay.
The water coming out of the shower smells like sulfur. I needed to let the water run a bit to just reduce the smell. Hopefully not a health concern. Hope NOGS Homestay will check this.
Very friendly staff, nice included breakfast and free water and coffee. You get a lot for the price
La localización, que apesar de estar alejado de la zona turística (GL), y al principio puede no gustar, acabas valorando la paz y la tranquilidad de este lugar. El personal es amable, aunque a mi llegada no recibí ninguna información simplemente me dieron mi habitación. Hay dispensadores de agua por todos lados, y cafes tambien. Ofrecen comidas a la carta.
Wifi es lento. Podrían facilitar champú y jabon de manos. Las gallinas te pueden despertar a cualquier hora, podrian insonorizar mejor las habitaciones. Desayuno esta bien aunque podria haber opciones para los turistas. La cama la encontré bastante dura.
Die Unterkunft, besonders der Außenbereich und der Gemeinschaftsraum, sind sehr schön. Das Frühstück ist lecker und Wasser sowie Kaffee/Tee stehen rund um die Uhr zur Verfügung. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett. Man kann Roller direkt vor Ort ausleihen. Die Lage ist super für Ausflüge an die nord-östliche Seite der Insel, z.B. Pacifico Beach etc :) Würden wieder kommen!
Wegen Bauarbeiten war es schon früh morgens laut im Zimmer, aber das ist ja nur temporär. Ansonsten alles gut :)
Netjes en schoon

The room is big and have a beautiful ambiance. The staff are all nice.

The staff is absolutely amazing! and the breakfast too!:)
They were playing loud music and talking very loud until 2 am, and the construction work started exrremely early and also very loud. I had to wait because the staff was occupaing the room I booked. Its too expensive for the experience i had.
紅樹林kayak,免費,超級棒。謝謝staff幫我叫車,都是很熱心和善的人。冷氣足、熱水量也可以。乾淨。有大陽台看水上人家和日出。早餐不錯。免費的沖泡式咖啡,飲用水。曬衣場。
浴室太小。房型不對。
We stayed at this lovely homestay in Siargao and I honestly couldn’t be more satisfied. The staff were incredibly kind — always greeting us with a smile, never missing our breakfast schedule, and fulfilling our requests almost instantly. What I really appreciated was how they managed to be attentive without being intrusive. No frills, no fuss — just quietly present when you need them, which allowed us to enjoy the space fully. Special thanks to Renz and Joli, who went the extra mile to accommodate us. They even let us check in early, so we were able to rest after the long trip to the island. That kind of hospitality says a lot. The place itself is tucked in a quiet neighborhood with equally friendly locals. And the view? Just beautiful. From the marsh, we had an open view of both the sunrise and sunset — all from the same room. That alone is reason enough to stay. On our last night, we even got a home-service massage — Joli helped us arrange it without hesitation. That extra care made our trip even more relaxing. Oh, and I have to mention the Bangsilog. I ended up ordering it for 3 out of our 4 mornings there. Simple, flavorful, and done just right. This homestay is right at the heart of the island, so it’s easy to access any point from here. Quiet when you need rest, but close enough to everything when you're ready to explore. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be coming back.
It's not that I didn't like the homestay, per se. But a disclaimer to the location, Siargao Island doesn't put street lights all over their circumferential road, so going home late is gonna be dark.
Breakfast Location is right in mangroves ( interesting viewpoint) Close to tidal pools so get there early to avoid crowds
Jesus the noise. To expensive for that! Water leaking like hell out of faucet Extremely weak AC Toilet has strong odor
Staff are excellent clean close to where our point of interest, planning to come back September or October this year.
All good
Accommodations were beautiful
Construction noise
Very nice hostel with nice views. Breakfast was simple but good
Nice sharing places, and view on the river and mangrove,
Breakfast at 8am and i’m pretty sure there is no Bangus (milkfish) my fav, the aircon is noisy hopefully there is a fan too to don’t get too warm during the night, in front of the room there is a new building still in construction
The place, very quiet
Few furniture in the bedrooms…
Nothing
The staff, there was an outage of power they ignored and lied for 2 days. When I demand an explanation they threaten me with police like I was dangerous and I had already left the location and booked another place. Not even a toilet we had not even for a shower! Horrible. Not prepared and zero HOSPITALITY and pro activities for the guest. Breakfast with not a glass or a jar of water… the owner doesn’t care. Customer support the worst I’ve ever seen. I felt bad with headaches of the heat and lack assistance!
They were so attentive and kind. We didn't get to spend the whole day here but we would love to be back! Thank you so much, Sir Mark and staff!
The room was clean and had good AC with a nice view out the balcony. There was a smart TV with access to streamings services. The traditional breakfasts were nice and filling. They have a canoe you can borrow for free to explore the mangroves.
The bathroom had an odour which wafted into the room and the shower was over the toilet. Roosters crowed at all times of day and started up again at 4am making it hard to sleep. We had some trouble finding the staff to order food and drinks at times. Kitchen closed at 7pm not 8pm as stated on the menus.
They keep the place very clean, the rooms have a lot of natural light, they serve good filipino breakfast, theres sodas and beer in the ref and the staff are friendly.
Very good staff and atmosphere at the resort. Answered all the questions we had and were very accommodating. The food was delicious and the rooms were very comfortable.
I liked the warmth extended by Ate Jolly, Renz and Mark. Ate Jolly was very fun and accommodating. They were very helpful with our concerns throughout our stay. Keep it up guys! P.S: We had a free boating experience at the mangroves in Nogs Homestay.
None actually
The room and bathroom was clean. The staff is friendly and helpful even invited us for lunch. We felt at home.
The aircon is not effective without a fan. Be aware that the toilet is a bidet system. It is located a bit far from many attractions. It is good for a stay over.
peaceful area extrem friendly and helpful hosts tasty and big breakfast modern accommodation motorbike rental available
not a lot of tourists infrastructure (e.g restaurants, TukTuks... ) it's hard to get there (drivers from General Luna are charging 1.000-2.000peso)
