Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Very pretty and peaceful property, a little apart from the center, ideal if you want to relax. The room and bathroom were impeccably clean. The host does everything possible to make you feel comfortable ; she even moved a fridge from the common area into our room to make it more convenient for us. We truly enjoyed our stay.
Location is strategic to almost all spots in Siquijor. The beds are also medium firm which all of us prefer. The attendant assisting us is accommodating and gave us complimentary hot water and mugs for our instant coffees.
The shower and toilet rooms within our dorm room felt like they were just placed there as an after-thought. They are too small and have no hooks to hang our towel with. Towels provided are also slightly small. I wish they could be slightly larger. Water supply is also inconsistent. Even the extra shower rooms downstairs have no hooks and have inconsistent water supply. Some parts of the room tends to be warmer. The owner should consider replacing the wall fans with ceiling fans instead.
Gentillesse de la dame qui parler très peu anglais Mais était super
L’eau chaude mais c’est un problème partout
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
Cr and bathroom is quite small,tho there is an extra bathroom downstairs from where we stayed. Water supply is also a problem. The towel bar is very high for a 5ft person.
It’s away from the crowded San Juan but still close. The room and bathroom were very clean. AC, fan and hot water are available. The staff and owner were super nice and helpful.
Would be nice to have a vegetarian option for breakfast :)
Tres belle établissement avec accueil chaleureux, service appliqué, nouvelles serviettes de bain tous les jours, changement des draps régulier!
The landlady was amazing and helpful with everything we needed. The room was excellent and clean with very large and comfortable beds
The current in the shower is very weak (there is a huge bucket in the shower that can be filled) Are there 2 more showers outside
Very clean, 55"inch tv, King size bed.
A little far from the main restaurants and bars, but not a problem if you have a motorcycle. Had a few brownouts in the morning.
La guest house est situé juste à côté de la plage de Tubod, la où on peut faire d’un snorkeling et voir des centaines de poissons. Le personnel est très accueillant.
Le réseau wifi est très mauvais et fonctionne pas depuis la chambre. La salle de bain est spacieuse mais il est difficile de régler la température de l’eau de la douche. Durant mon séjour, il y a eu plusieurs coupures de courant.
We had a great stay at Mariellas Guest House. Was a very convenient location close to key attractions, quiet and very comfortable. Certainly recommend!
Clean and affordable
Limited water
조용하고 친절한 게스트하우스 입니다. 투보드 비치랑 조금 떨어져 있어서 오토바이가 필요해요. Mariella는 저희의 모든 질문에 친절하게 대답해주고 웃으며 해결해주었어요. 덕분에 편하게 지냈어요. 감사드려요. 매일 청소도 해주셨고, 와이파이도 아주 잘 터졌어요. (숙소랑 가장 가까운 레스토랑이 맛있어서 정말 좋았어요.)
숙소 마당과 숙소 앞 도로가 공사 중이에요. 마당이 엉망이라 기대했던 테라스 생활은 하지 못했어요. 도로 공사는 괜 찮는데, 마당이 공사 중이었다는 걸 알았다면 숙박을 고려해봤을 거예요 ㅠㅠ조금 아쉬웠어요.
ruhige Lage
keine Uni- Steckdosen
Very welcoming stuff, helping with our needs. Location close to the central area, hotel offering scooters for rent at a good price.
Good value for money, but showers are old and water pressure not so good Also quality of bed sheets was a little struggle for me, polyester… But again, for couple nights it’s a good place to stay
El personal y la ubicación
El baño
Un hotel normal. Café para desayunar Limpio , habitación bien
La.cocina que teníamos al lado de la habitación donde se pasan el día cocinando todo el mundo sin pensar en la privacidad o descanso de los que estamos alojados
Veldig reint å pent. Veldig hygelig personalia. Veldig service venlige Driver også med utleie av mc
Området var som en bygge plass. Veldig veldig dårlig trykk på dusjen Og internettet virket på noen rom men ikke alle.
De vriendelijke host en zeer behulpzame co host Mercy
Enkele keren van kamer moeten wisselen prima plek .. maar in opbouw.. er wordt nog overal aan gewerkt.
The staff and the owner are friendly. The place is quaint and nice. There is a great restaurant nearby.
The water is the washroom shower is too slow
The staff was very kind. They lend us adapter and very accomodating. Highly recommended
The wifi didn't reach our room. And the lock in the bathroom is broken. But overall good.
Staffs are very friendly and accommodating, learned their culture and how people of Siquijor used to live before so really great history and stories to tell.
A little bit far from other locations like food/resto but very great place if you want to go to Runik, Pitogo, and Kawayan Holiday Resort coz very accessible. Just be mindful of the power outages. Also, for those working from home better to bring your own back up data, signal is not so good in some of the resorts area.
The structure is newly constructed. The room is clean. The beds are big. Our group of 15 fitted in the family room.There is a small kitchen were all can cook with just 100 pesos fee. The staff are accomodating. And very affordable.
The water supply. Though water supply and electricity are major concerns in the whole island, Mariella's could have had a water tank to supply guests when water supply problems occur. I hope Siquijor Island can solve this problem.
I like that the staff are very accomodating. There's free coffee every morning. Free water and you can cook. Good location.
Our room has a dead spot for cell service and Wi-Fi; we have to go outside to connect.
None
Everything
The room was cleaned everyday and towel was exchanged! The kitchen was also great and easy to use. There was even hot water and a working aircon! Staff was AMAZINGGG
A bit farther out but it’s fine if you have a scooter.
The bed was comfortable, the distance was great from everywhere we wanted to go to. Most especially, I really loved how the staff was extremely helpful and made sure that all our needs were met.
There were no toiletries provided eventhough the description said there were some.
The location is right to the main road, and free coffee in the morning
The wifi isn’r reachable from the room they gave me, so I need to be outside most of the time for it.
Amazing location just outside San Juan, we were able to rent a motorbike for the full 4 days of our stay. Extremely friendly staff, rooms were made up every day and they were able to organise a trike to the port for us on our day of departure!
Wi-Fi didn’t work very well in the budget room and there were a few lizards that were able to get in through the door, but all in all extremely good value for money and don’t let it deter you!
Kindness of the owner and staff
They dont have a genset
Place is secure and not too far from tourists spots
Location
Power shortages
Mariella was so lovely, we rented a bike here and our room got cleaned every day. She even changed our sheets after a few nights. Lovely stay
Safety , location
Improve the restroom
Nice location and friendly stuff Clean room - every day
Water pressure was low Outside the room its looks like they are under construction so the look of the place isnt apealing
breakfast was good but not free.
the blanket was very thin
Very friendly staff and clean rooms :)
The girls that work at reception, the big yellow room w the amazing balcony and the pink kettle🤣
Everything was perfect
We stayed for a week at Mariellas and it was a great base to explore Siquijor. Motorcycle to rent, walking distance to Tubod beach, very kind owners and staff, kitchen/fridge available, clean etc
Mariella's Guest House was a nice place to stay. It serves its purpose which is mainly a place to stay for a couple of days and keep your belongings safe while you tour around Siquijor. The lone staff was so nice and accomodating and ensured that we are guided and we have everything we needed from check in down to the moment we checked out. She even helped us book a ride going to the port the morning we left Siquijor. The property was clean and well-maintained.
The only downside I saw while staying here was it's distance from the center of San Juan where most of the nice restaurants, cafes, and bars are located (this is clearly not the management's fault thought). Although this place is only a walking distance from Runik.
Fantastic location in San Juan with super sweet staff. You can rent scooters on-site, which is really convenient. Our son had a great time playing with the local kids. Plus, Tambayanan restaurant, just 100m away, was amazing—definitely go there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Nothing
Good location, clean, friendly staff
Room felt a bit like a box, shower over toilet and tiny bedroom, but for that price its still good. Felt clean although very old. Lock of the door was hard go close, but my Experience in most philippino homes
New towels everyday, friendly staff and right by the best beach
They were able to accommodate my whole family. The villa we stayed at was big, had more than enough beds for all of us.
There was just one bathroom and one shower in the room which was encased in glass. Its just me but sharing a room with my whole family of 10, I was kind of iffy taking a shower with everyone in the room. They made available the ones from the ground floor though so that's okay.
Melce is the big bonus of the stay in this super clean guest house. She will go OUT OF HER WAY to please her guests. You can feel that she's not just putting on a show to be pleasant because it's her business, she really has a kind heart. Also, you can't beat the price, real value for money. It was convenient to rent their motorcycles, too.
I would have loved curtains that block out the light and sun (but everybody isn't light sensitive like me). The shower wets the toilet area, which couldn't be helped (this is good to know in advance, to know what to expect). But it's a minor inconvenience when you know you're in a very safe property, and the owner and even her helper, Mercy, are impeccable.
Pleasant place set back from road about 40 minute walk into town. Bed and pillows comfortable.
Room is small but despite this the air con struggled to cool the room. No hot water.
Quiet, lovely staff
Everything was fantastic! Great setup, spacious room, very clean and kept as such every day, cozy garden, quiet location, possibilty to rent a scooter on site to move around the island freely and also get laundry done. A special mention to Melce who was so attentive throughout the stay, so nice and helpful all the time. Highly recommending Mariella's place.
Everything was perfect!
Calm, clean, idyllic, all in all charming
Nothing
Very clean and comfortable
Staff were lovely, room was clean and comfortable. Location was good and close to everything
Ita right un front of the sea sanctuary. Great location.
The room was so small that our bags didn’t even have a place on the floor. It is an individual room with a double bed, so don’t expect to be able to stand on the room.
Perfect for big crowds. We rented the entire place for 29 people. Kitchen very useful as no restaurants or shops nearby.
Locations not very central. No shops and restaurant within walking distance. If you have children make sure to bring snacks before checking in.
I found Mariellas great for the price, it was comfortable close to Tubod beach, and away from the more louder area. I loved how roomy my cabin was.
Yes there were some power outages, but it’s an island wide issue. Most of the time it came back between 20min to 1 hour. The shower is weird, but I extended my stay in the island and had to go to another hotel and their shower was the same situation. ( so idk if this is a setback to this particular place)
Silent. Clean. Friendly staff.
Cellular network signal is poor.
The location is closed the tubod beach, the famous cliff and waterfalls. The staff and the ower are very nice and helpful.
From the very start of my booking process, the owner was really kind and accommodating until we arrived to this place. The staff, Ate Mercy helped us to book our transportation and also recommended good spots around San Juan. In general, our stay at Mariella's house was so great that I want to go back there again.
I recently stayed at Mariella's Guest House for three nights, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! For a budget hotel, it met my expectations in so many ways. First, the staff and the owner were incredibly friendly and accommodating. She gave a free room upgrade because the a/c in the room that I originally booked had issues. The bed was surprisingly cozy, and I had no trouble getting a good night’s sleep. Plus, my room had very a big LED TV with cable and strong WiFi signal. Overall, Mariella's Guest House is a fantastic choice for anyone on a budget. I would definitely recommend it
Probably the lack of generator, especially that there's island-wide power outage for 3-4 hours almost everyday but not a deal-breaker for me though.
The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They accommodated all our requests with all smiles and without hesitation. Place is very quiet and serene. We got our rooms at a very low price. Great value for money!
The location might not be ideal if you're expecting for stores and restaurants nearby. We also experienced water shortage on a Sunday morning which might be due to the place being fully booked and all the guests we're taking their showers simultaneously. Overall, it was still a good experience.
It was a large room that met all of our needs. The staff were super nice and they had free water. There were also lots of yummy restaurants around.

Clean and spacious
It was clean and decent. We only stayed for two night. The staff was friendly and accommodating. It was a little far from the San Juan center but only a few minutes by motorbike. Peaceful.
No phone signal but they have wifi.
Rooms were nicely sized and comfortable. A/C, hot water and a fridge.
