Dalakit House Hidden Gem, Tranquility Nearby town

Best place I have ever stayed

Everything

A beautiful place surrounded by nature that really leaves you speechless. It’s probably not the right place for someone who doesn’t like being around a few bugs, as you’re right in the middle of nature, but that’s part of the experience. The staff were very attentive, and the cleanliness, quality, and design of the space were excellent. Everything was very well taken care of. It’s a shame we could only stay for three nights — we would have happily stayed longer!

Le cadre et le service

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Dalakit House Hidden Gem. Le logement est niché en plein cœur de la jungle : on n’entend que les sons de la nature, ce qui en fait un lieu extrêmement paisible. Un véritable coin de paradis. La maison est très agréable, parfaitement fonctionnelle et d’une propreté irréprochable. Elle dispose de tout le nécessaire pour un séjour confortable : cuisine équipée, espace détente, coin feu de camp, baignoire extérieure, ainsi qu’une grande chambre avec salle de bain. Le personnel est adorable et très attentionné. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis dès notre arrivée au port (transfert gratuit depuis le port de Siquijor), et un scooter est également mis à disposition gratuitement, il suffit simplement de refaire le plein avant le départ. La maison, conçue par un architecte local, s’intègre parfaitement dans son environnement naturel, ce qui renforce encore davantage le charme et l’authenticité du lieu. C’est l’endroit idéal pour déconnecter et profiter d’un moment hors du temps. Le logement est situé à environ 10 minutes en scooter du port de Siquijor et à 15 minutes de San Juan, le principal spot animé de l’île pour dîner, boire un verre ou admirer le coucher du soleil. Je recommande sans hésitation et je reviendrai avec grand plaisir.

The staff were exceptional in their service, helping us with bags to and from the entrance to the property. They even got our car free from a ditch near the entrance and built a fence to stop it from happening again! The building was kept in great condition and gave wonderful jungle views with great attention to privacy.

You do have to be quite diligent with watching out for ants as they can get everywhere! This is the reality of the jungle location so we were more than happy to accept this though

Nous avons adoré le lieu et la maison est magnifique. Il y a une vraie magie de séjourner au milieu de la jungle, la musique des animaux et insectes tout autour. C’était une nuit de pluie et tout était incroyable. Et puis au lever du soleil, les oiseaux se mettent à chanter à nouveau. Merveilleux. Je suggère à toutes personnes venant à cet endroit d’y respecter la tranquillité et la demande de ne plus faire de bruit à partir de 9pm. Nous avons été dérangé par la 2eme maison en contre bas tard le soir. Ce n’est pas la faute de Dalakit mais bien du manque d’éducation de certaines personnes. Nous espérons pouvoir y revenir et pouvoir rester plus longtemps.

What a special place! In every detail - from the colour of the bathroom walls to the books on the coffee table - you see the love and attention of the architect. We loved spending time on the porch overlooking the beautiful, almost mystical Dalakin tree, beautifully lit at night. Amazing service from the hosts too - picking us up from the ferry port, where we arrived late because of a delayed ferry - and reacting swiftly when a return ferry cancellation meant that we had to suddenly check out and be brought to the ferry port very abruptly. If you get the rare chance that this accommodation is available - book it without hesitation.

That we could only stay four nights.

The house is simply amazing, in the middle of the jungle surrounded by nature. The forniture is curated in every detail. The stuff is very kind and efficient

Nothing. Note: the road to get there is bumpy

To miejsce jest niesamowite! Pięknie urządzony domek pośrodku przepięknej dżungli. Domek i jego wnętrze zaprojektowane przez osobę która ma doskonałe poczucie smaku i gustu. Wszystko do siebie pasuje i dosłownie wszystkim można się zachwycać. Miejsce wyposażone jest we wszystkie udogodnienia - w pełni wyposażona kuchnia, łazienka z ciepłą wodą, bardzo wygodne łóżko z moskiteria, przestronny taras z bardzo wygodną kanapą i fotelem. Domek dosłownie wtopiony jest w przepiękną dżunglę - jednej strony sypialnianej widok na zieloną ścianę roślinności a z drugiej wypoczynkowej widok na oszałamiające kilkuset letnie drzewo które w nocy jest przepięknie oświetlone. Cisza, odgłosy dżungli - owady, ptaki dosłownie setki różnych odgłosów w których można się kompletnie zatracić. Wystarczy się położyć spoglądając na cudowne drzewo i zatracić się w tych wszystkich dźwiękach które są niczym przepiękny koncert skomponowany przez samą naturę. To miejsce żyje przez cały czas i nie daje o tym zapomnieć ani przez chwilę. Dosłownie niezapomniane przeżycie. Obsługa jest niezwykle miła i pomocna. Zorganizują wszystko o co ich poprosicie. Warto dodać że będąc gościem tego miejsca dostali zniżkę w restauracji La Canoppe Bar&Restaurant oddalonej około 7 minut skuterem od Dalakit House. Wystarczy przy kasie powiedzieć że jest się z Dalakit House i rachunek pomniejszany jest o 15%. Do tego goście mogą bezpłatnie skorzystać z basenu który znajduje się w La Canoppe. A sama restauracja jest przepięknie położna z przecudownych widokiem i bardzo dobrym jedzeniem. To najlepsze miejsce na całej wyspie!

Nic.

Staff were friendly and accommodating. They supply a motorbike for your time there. The house is so peaceful and beautifully designed. We 100% want to go back there i can’t recommend it enough!!

Casa SPETTACOLARE, dovete andarci. Proprietario carinissimo, ci ha accolto nella sua casa per chiacchierare

Doccia fredda

The cottage is beautiful in every detail. It's clear it was designed by someone who understands art, music, and travel, and respects nature. The materials and furnishings are high-quality, attractive, and inviting. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked to heat up a meal or make coffee. There's free water, tea, a few spices, and olive oil. The cottage is small but comfortable enough for two people, even for a few days. The cottage's greatest asset is the terrace overlooking a beautiful, sacred tree. It's wonderful to sit there at any time of day, unless the mosquitoes prevent it. We were able to do so after lighting numerous repellent incense sticks. The cottage is great, but only for people who enjoy living in harmony with nature. Everything is exposed. You have to be prepared for the possibility of various bugs and ants inside. Of course, not to mention the easy access of larger animals like spiders and lizards. We have no fear of such animals and insects, so we felt comfortable and at home. The house is completely glass-walled and beautifully lit, so it looks magical at any time of day. The forest setting is incredible. It's close enough to the road that you can hear motorbikes and cars, so you don't feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. During the day, you can also hear people working around the property, so you don't feel like you're alone deep in the forest. The owner was waiting for us with the keys and showed us around the house. He's very friendly.

The open bathroom can create awkward situations if you're traveling with a couple. The rain shower head in the bathroom is very stylish but not very practical. It's difficult to wash with it. It would be better if it had a regular shower head. Furthermore, the water from the rain shower head spills onto the toilet bowl. The bathtub on the terrace is a beautiful design, typically for Instagram photos, but not for bathing. It's very uncomfortable. The sink is located behind the bed. Where the mirror should be, there's a picture. Therefore, you can't brush your teeth, apply cosmetics, or do your hair at the sink; you have to use the bathroom, which is constantly wet and doesn't have a sink. I don't recommend driving to the cottage or, if you don't have your own scooter.

The house is beautiful. Nice design touches. A lot of light. I can highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have romantic escape from city. There were some mosquitoes, bugs, ants, birds, etc. If you're sensitive for these - don't go here. The house is literally in a jungle. We loved it, but some people might come unprepared.

We stayed there 3 days. Two of them so construction was ongoing (first day some electrical works, second - water pumping). We do understand, that this house needs a lot of attention from maintenance people, but host could give a heads up and agree on the most convenient time. We wanted more tranquility, but workers created too much noise. House is far away from everything. Every trip to the restaurant, shop, etc. - an expedition. Get prepared. There was no matches, only 1 knife, but host solved those issue quickly.

El lugar es de ensueño y la atención increíble. Nos solucionaron todos los inconvenientes súper rápido. No creo q sea para todo el mundo, si no te gustan los insectos no es tu lugar, porque son una parte mas de dentro de la casa.

La mosquitera que había no era la de las fotos, era pequeña e incómoda, y eso hizo que la última noche fuese movida, nos encontramos en la cama todo tipo de compañeros jeje

El entorno es espectacular y la cabaña con cristaleras es muy bonita, espaciosa y práctica. Tiene muchísimo encanto.

El acceso a la cabaña es muy complicado si no es en moto y con el equipaje se dificulta bastante. La mosquitera de la cama faltaba porque se había roto y… estás en medio del bosque, con lo que ello conlleva, pero entendemos que fue algo puntual.

it was absolutely stunning. It was everything and more from the beautiful nature views and sounds to the outside bath looking out onto the jungle. This hidden gem was a once in a lifetime experience! We loved the seating area out the back where we had our coffee ( that was provided ) and some breakfast. We miss it already!!!

it’s not that we didn’t like this but I think it’s worth noting that you are around a 20 minute moped ride away from all the restaurants and to get to the property a moped is kinda essential - which the host kindly arranged for us! Also another thing to note is that a gecko leaves a poop at the end of your bed around 3 times a day ( again, can’t be helped - you’re in the jungle!! )

The mother tree. The architecture and books. The isolation and sounds of nature, breeze, birds, bats, insects and dense jungle foliage. Night is best.

If anything, lack of a bird book. Tuktuk travel seems a bit high to and from as it doesn’t take long to get up hill. Scooter helps greatly if wanting to explore or get Elma’s traditional massage.

Wonderful setting in the forest and it’s a beautifully designed house.

The front door lock was very temperamental and could be very difficult to open and close. We could have done with a frying pan - only one pot for cooking.

Beautiful location and unique experience! Communication with the host was good!

Bathroom was not really clean (lot of bugs and poop of ?) and the shower was not working properly. Important information was missing in the advertisement in my opinion: electricity could be off for a long time which ment absolutely no connection since there is no connection and the wifi goes through electricity and no working fan during the night since), there is noting except water available (like no coffee, tea, etc.), it is not bug free inside (off course, it is a house in the middle of the jungle but there were big spiders, gekko’s and a lot of ants in the house even when everything was closed all night. And lastly, check-in and check-out were weirdly organized and the rental scooter was nearly out of gas.

Place is just amazing. The best jungle house on the island. You will not want to leave it when it will be time to check out guaranteed. Thanks for having me

A spectacular house. Beautiful architecture that both blends and stands out in an already impressive decor. The landscape, sound of nature, the peace and beauty both in and out. Just a gem. Great value for price. Ideal for a little getaway or work (yes there is wifi connection in the forest thanks to starlink) makes this place a perfect spot. Truly amazing architects home. The host… kind and warm. Takes great care and brings great attention to guests comfort. Belle rencontre ! I also recommend watching a little sunset, drinking a cold beer (or two), perhaps a little meal at the Canopée Restaurant not too far away. The view and sunset are both breathtaking.
