Little Nomads eco-guesthouse

Une superbe expérience, nous avons adoré notre séjour ! L’hébergement est charmant, parfaitement propre et très agréable, entouré d’une magnifique végétation qui donne vraiment l’impression d’être au cœur de la nature. Les matelas sont confortables et nous avons très bien dormi. Les moustiquaires étaient en parfait état et, malgré l’environnement tropical, nous n’avons pas été dérangés par les moustiques. Aucun problème non plus avec des animaux ou insectes dans la chambre. La cuisine mise à disposition est très bien équipée et vraiment pratique. Mais le gros point fort reste l’accueil : les deux femmes qui s’occupent des lieux sont exceptionnellement gentilles, attentionnées et disponibles. Elles font vraiment tout pour que l’on se sente bien. Un endroit plein de charme, paisible et authentique, avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Nous y retournerions avec grand plaisir et le recommandons les yeux fermés !

Rien

C’è una cucina a disposizione molto comoda, utilissima perché la struttura si trova si trova lontano dalla città e quando tutti i ristoranti vicini chiudono, alle 9 di sera, è comoda per prepararsi qualcosa. La due donne filippine che la gestiscono carinissime e gentilissime, una ci ha portato in giro a vedere alcune attrazioni.

La struttura è molto spartana, materassi per terra e zanzariere rotte che in un posto pieno di zanzare non è il massimo. È immersa nella vegetazione e quindi preparatevi a trovare qualche animalino in camera. I polli inoltre avevano spostato i teli di protezione sul tetto e pioveva in camera.

Excellent hosts, the ladies who clean and prepare breakfast are so friendly. I didn't meet the owner but he has a designed a basic, homely, comfortable accommodation at a super cheap price. Wifi ok, decent kitchen area, free water, good showers, traffic can't be heard at night. A few animals nearby but they don't interfere! I'd stay again.

All good.

free wifi

not enough parking space for motorcycle

Very cool hostel, oliver the owner and all the staff and guests are great I kept extending and really enjoyed my stay

I enjoyed my stay at Little Nomads a lot. Olivier was very welcoming and passionate about what he is doing in the hostel. I liked the eco-friendly and sustainable management of the place. It's great to be among the trees, near the beach and San Juan. Great place to stay in South Siquijor!

Interesting owner simpleness of the accommodations good shower toilet bed

Lack of signage and building works going on but it’s progress happening!! Good luck

Very simple but really chill

Nothing

Camp de base très chouette pour les backpackers à la recherche de simplicité et de nature. Situé au bord de la route qui longe la côte sud de l’île, pratique pour partir à l’aventure 🎒!

Its perfectly made. Like a little tree house

Aircon would be appreciated

Sehr freundliche Leute

There is a kitchen to cook yourself.

It's super noisy at night, the room has nothing, just mattresses on the floor. Full of mosquitoes and very dark on the day. Dar from everything.

Der Gastgeber + Mitarbeitenden sind sehr freundlich, geben auch gute Tipps für Ausflüge etc. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und darf mitbenutzt werden.

Die Unterkunft bietet allgemein wenig komfort (kein klopapier, Seife, sehr dünne matratzen) alles ist sehr offen, wer also angst vor Spinnen, geckos etc hat ist hier sicher fehl am platz. Die Lage ist auch eher abgelegen, es wird schon ein Roller benötigt. Für den Preis ok, aber sicher mehr für outdoor liebhaber*innen.

comfortable mattress, great breakfast crepes with homemade apple jam! best homemade jam I've had. a little out of the way but nice for a few days stay. lovely staff!

cold shower water location but if you have a motorbike you're fine

Schön gelegen abseits vom Trubel. Super netter Besitzer der auch immer gute Tips auf Lager hat.

The whole place

nothing

Great folks, long term travelers look no further.

Der günstige Preis.

Leider war der Aufenthalt bei Little Nomads mehr ein Abenteuer als Komfortabel. Wer Geld sparen möchte ist hier genau richtig. Trotz des günstigen Angebots fehlt es uns an etwas an Zuwendung für die Unterkunft. Wir verbrachten fünf Nächte dort und die Tür zum Badezimmer war von Anfang an kaputt und die Spülung ging immer öfter nicht. Es gab nur kaltes Wasser, das war nicht sonderlich schlimm, nur sollte man dies offen auf der Seite der Unterkunft kommunizieren. Als wir frühstücken wollten gab es von drei Angeboten nur eins, weil die Zutaten nicht da waren. Es gibt aber reichlich Angebote in der Nähe, die wir genutzt haben. Die Tür zu unserem Bungalow ließ sich nicht richtig öffnen und schließen. Wir hatten extrem viele Geckos im Bungalow, die diesen auch als Toilette nutzen, weshalb wir mehrmals am Tag sauber machen mussten, weil es sonst zu unangenehm war. Es gab leider auch keinen Stuhl oder ähnliches im oder vor dem Bungalow, nur eine Matratze am Boden. Eine Sitzgelegenheit wäre nett.

Encantadora la familia que nos hospedó, un lugar apartado pero a la vez cerca de todo, con mucho encanto y todo muy acogedor

Molt net i còmode, pots cuinar i fer servir la nevera, molt a prop de tot si tens moto, la gent que he conegut han sigut tots molt bona gent i Olivier t’acollirà i t’ajudarà en tot el que necessitis.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr simple aber ma hat alles was man brauch! Im Dorm hat man schnell neue Leute kennen gelernt. Die Toiletten waren sehr sauber, dafür das alles im Freien stattgefunden hat!

Very Peacefull and welcome place !

It's very serene and calm. The staff and the owner are very friendly and hospitable. It was overall very clean and comfortable. Simple beds and mosquito nets in the dorm. I like the nipa hut style and the simple bathroom.

There were rare possibilities to store/hang your things in the dorm.

Nice and quiet place, simple bungalows surrounded by nature and very friendly and helpful owners. They will give you heaps of suggestions for things to do, restaurants and attractions nearby. Located at approx 10 minutes motorbike ride from S. Juan’s town.

Great stay, owners go way out of their way to be helpful. Excellent environment. Look no further if you are traveling long term.

Long term travelers look no further - this is the place to stay. Owners are kind, helpful, and former long term travelers themselves. Thanks so much.

Thank you.

Одно из лучших мест где мне доводилось ночевать. Оливеру и супруге за уют

Хозяева были нереально учтивы и контактны. Рассказали об острове исчерпывающую информацию с местными фишечками. В бунгало очень уютно и свежо даже без кондиционера. Вообще одно из лучших мест где мне давалось ночевать. Засыпать под крики геконов, ну где ещё такое найдешь ?

Superbe accueil ! On se sent en sécurité

Lits au sol mais confortable

Cozy and quiet

Nothing

Personal super amable. El lugar es tal cual se ve en las fotos y lo mantienen limpio. Hay espacio para cocinar y mantener cosas. Es bueno contar con movilidad para moverse.

Todo es muy agradable, quizas en el dormitorio compartido estaria bien algun espacio para tener las mochilas o apoyar algunas cosas.

Super schöne, einfache Unterkunft. Wir hatten den privaten Bungalow. Sehr schön! Oliver nimmt sich für jeden viel Zeit und gibt viele Tipps für die Insel. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl!

Wer keinen tiefen Schlaf hat sollte Ohropax mitnehmen, da die Hühner schon sehr früh anfangen zu krähen,)

Really good vibes, reckon it's because of balanced "Feng Shui" around the compound, very recommended for travellers that also like to feel local life in their trips. Great location, 10 min to San Juan and 20min to Lazi with many convenience stores around. One thing worth to highlight was I got no mosquito bites here, never happened in other places in this 4 weeks trip in the Philippines. A little hideaway for great nomads ☺️

Literally none.

Amazing guesthouse! Immediately you feel like you are at home. Owners are so nice and welcoming, it makes you to want to stay the forever! Honestly one of the best guesthouses I have ever stayed at. Recommend 10/10!

Olivier was lovely and super helpful. Very low key accommodation with little mattresses on the floors and an outdoor shower. Further away from the main area in San Juan. Overall it was a peaceful and nice spot

Lo que más me gustó fue la atención y el trato cercano por parte del dueño Oliver, muy atento y amable desde el principio hasta el final, me habló sobre los mejores lugares de la zona y recomendaciones variadas sobre buceo y ocio en general

No me gustó irme 😜 realmente estuvo perfecta mi estancia aqui

The place was so Cozy

None

Le calme du lieu, le côté naturel, l’accueil chaleureux

Schlicht, alles was es braucht in einem nomad guesthouse.

Sehr kleiner allgemeiner Bereich um mit anderen zu connecten.

Muy pocas veces doy 10, pero la relación calidad precio se supera. Precioso enclave y el personal es simplemente increíble .Madel, I already miss youuu

Me gustó todo. Duermes con el sonido de la naturaleza

Good location. Quiet place. Peaceful and good wifi. Clean. :)

Really nice small guesthouse with one shared room and some private separate small houses. Simple room - just beds with mosquito nets and fans in the room. Some beds had power socket quite far. Possibility to use kitchen (just no in the time of preparing breakfast). Owner is really kind and helpfull, loved the lady in the kitchen (I am sorry I forgot your name, should be writing the reviews sooner than almost 2 months after the stay), always so happy and helpful.

Quite difficult to find the place, especially if you are arriving in the dark (even later some days I just passed by and didnt realise, it was already behind me). It is outside in the middle of nowhere. Really need scooter to get anywhere.

Needed a motorbike to go around but such a peacefully location. Back to basic but I really liked that!

I had a very good time there. All the staff were friendly and helpfull. The place itself is very beutufull and natural, plus u have a good kitchen where y can cook. Also all the place is very clean.

This hostel is fantastic! Is in the nature and little bit far from the main area, need to rent a scooter for move around. The staff is very helpful and kind. The toilet is outside the room and always clean. Very chill and relax, I love to stay there, I will come again! Thank you

very homey and laid back, i love ate josephine 🤍 and really good value for money despite it being far from the main area

The host is very friendly and helped me even with booking tours ! The rooms were very cozy and I stayed in a 6 bed dorm. Very comfy the whole stay.

Ants all over the floor + mosquitos

Quiet environment, comfortable beds, open-air lifestyle, great breakfasts and advice and company from the staff. A peaceful experience that will suit those looking to evade the crowds. For scooters, check out the info on Lucy’s scooters: good price, profesionnal agency and the money goes to helping stray dogs and cats. Thanks so much again Josephine and Olivier for the nice welcome! :)

- breakfast - location - price - staff

- nothing

Peaceful

No grocery/ convenience store nearby

The beds were literally next to each other and It was small and hot as hell. I don’t think anybody would want to sleep in there even for free. Dead place, nothing is going on. To my shock I wanted to cancel before check-in time. The owner first agreed to get rid of me then refused to refund me online although I wanted to cancel in advance. Greedy rude direspectful owner was able to open the bed for another person but still did not want to refund me. Cringe !

The staff were super friendly and you chat and meet lots of awesome people! Very pretty location too, good if you have a scooter. Dorm is as clean as possible! Also went to a fiesta and had a really enriching experience courtesy of the staff here- they are great.

I wish there was another brighter light near to the street for when you’re driving your scooter in! I almost had a bad crash when coming back one evening because I couldn’t see exactly where the log to hop the kerb is. Also a decent ramp to get in would be nice 🙏🏼 but it’s ok for now

I really like the home vibe atmosphere. You can use the kitchen to cook your own food (from 2pm). As in the dorms there are just mattresses with mosquito nets everyone is socialising in the common area which is really nice. Josephine who works there is smiling and kind and the owner Oliver can give you a lot of useful advices about the island. Thank you!

I couldn't extend my staying because was fully booked! 😂

Vibe of the place. It was cozy, na amazing place to chill and rest, and also owners and stuff are amazing people. When I get back I will definitely be back here as well :)

Nothing

Very homely feel! Little Nomads attracts great people & the staff and owners are great people too. I had the private room which was spacious and I liked the added touch of the lamp and the incense holder. Josephine’s breakfasts were yummy as well!

I think the bathrooms could do with a little more love more often, no majors

Gorgeous big property, with lots of lush greenery everywhere. The common area was really cozy, the bathrooms were always cleaned and toilet paper replaced, the sleeping area was also clean and comfortable. Fantastic property and maintenance my owners and staff. It’s clear they put lots of effort and care into making each guests stay comfortable and feel like a home away from home. The owners are some of the kindest people, quick to help with any recommendations, advice or anything else you may need. I kept extending my stay, didn’t want to leave!

Its a eco hostel next to the circumferential of siquijor , good place to stay, quiet and affordable, the stuff was very friendly and helpful!

Little Nomads is the best choice in Siquijor for travellers looking a peaceful, wholesome experience. The hosts, Olivier and Sofie are the most welcoming, helpful and warm people. I told Olivier exactly the type of travel experience I was looking for (local interactions, non touristy spots) and he was quick to give me some really apt recommendations. Since I was travelling alone, I really appreciated both of them for staying the night at the guesthouse to give me company and discuss my day's experiences with. Such a nice family vibe! Special shout out to Josephine (she makes crepes and coffee in the morning) who is so sweet and also chatty :) I will definitely return to Little Nomads in the future. It's one of those places that you remember for a long time not because its fancy or lavish but because of the special human connection you make with it.

Easy to miss the Little Nomads sign when you are riding the scooter at night but that could just be my poor navigation skills.

Nice ecostay with friendly and flexible host. Hés been living on the island for 7 years and love to share special places, stories, and have a laught with the guest. This males it feel lile home. Thanks Olivier !

Great staff. Kitchen is clean and has all the basic things you need.

There's a dog (new there per the staff) in the property who randomly barks in the middle of the night. Could be bothersome if sensitive to sound.

A very peaceful and relaxing place to stay! The staff are super friendly and helpful, plus there is an amazing snorkelling spot very close by. I also loved that they didn’t play music in the common area, so you could read or talk easily with others.

The only downside is animals are often quite loud (especially early in the mornings), but that isn’t unique to this property.

I loved the place. Josephine (the woman who’s working there and preparing breakfast) is soooo kind! Thank you for inviting us to pet your pig! The place is clean and cozy. Toilets and showers (with no ceiling) work perfectly. You can even use their kitchen. Can definitely recommend it.

It’s a little bit out of town, but since almost everyone is renting a scooter anyways, that’s not an issue. Early in the morning the roosters and dogs are starting to make some noise.

Lovely hosts who were incredibly helpful and friendly! The outdoor shower was amazing, both in the day with the sunshine coming through or at night with the stars. Nice and quiet location. Good communal space where you can buy beers, cook and relax.

Possibly better for people with scooters as it’s a bit far out of town, but we didn’t have one and did a lovely hike to a waterfall instead and used tricycles for dinners (but it’s about 150 each way so adds up). The pillows were a bit lumpy but otherwise it was very comfy!

This is a lovely, well-thought out and beautifully maintained property. Oliver has put a lot of care and effort into the place. The ladies that cook breakfast are also really nice! There’s a lovely, clean kitchen (can only be used after lunchtime each day because they cook breakfast in the AM) and a nice common outdoor space. The bathroom is clean and also semi-outdoors.

It’s quite loud here throughout the night with animals surrounding you on all sides (chickens, dogs barking, pigs) but this is also quite common/normal in the Philippines. The bungalow is not soundproof, so for those who are more noise-sensitive it’s a bit more like sleeping in a tent! Lastly, the bungalow ended up being quite hot some nights. If the power went out, the fans stopped working.

In a recepcion , the owner helped me with the script to visit the tourists places

Is very far for the Center . Only 1 option of restaurant around there .

Great value for money, a small hostel so by the end of my trip it felt like a little family! Olivier is a great host, can’t recommend enough

It’s slightlyy outside of San Juan but once you have a scooter this is fine, really close to pitogo cliffs which are beautiful at sunset or stargazing at night

It's tourism done in a good way I guess. It's low impact and without messing up the island and the community. Traveling would be more enjoyable if more tourism facilities had this approach instead of destroying the place we want to experience.
