Blue House Backpackers Siquijor

feels like home.

the beach front access

La vista al mar es hermosa

Best hostel at Siquijor

The property was comfortable and a great price, it had everything I needed for my stay. I enjoyed my time at Blue House.

Feels like home, the people are very nice, and clean.

Good location with a lovely beach chill area and good kitchen for cooking and food prep. Very friendly staff and people, lots of nights out and activities planned.

Very strong smell from the outside toilets.

Really good location and was very chill and comfy :)

Very small rooms and ac was turned off all day (i don’t blame them though because of the expenses)

Location

Great location, friendly staff, clean, can cook for yourself.

La terrasse de l’hostel les pieds dans le sable

Les salles de bains il n’y en a pas assez

Très bon hostel ! On s’y sent bien, la cuisine est grande et les espaces communs agréables. Le coin extérieur est très très sympa avec pleins de hamacs et de chaises pour se poser devant un beau coucher de soleil. Personnel très gentil. Bonne connexion.

Pas l’hostel le plus social (au moment où j’y étais en tout cas)

The hostel is on the beachfront and the staff are really friendly. For the price, I have no complaints.

I was in a 4 bed dorm and it felt like a tight squeeze but that’s to be expected with a hostel.

The location was awesome, the rest needs upgrading. But you get what you pay for.

Had a great stay here! The accommodation was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. The atmosphere was very relaxing, and everything was well taken care of. The staff/host was super friendly and helpful, always making sure everything was okay. The location was also perfect, with easy access to everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice and stress-free place to stay! 👍

Ich hatte super schöne Tage im Hostel und kann diesen Ort total empfehlen! Die Lage ist top (nah an Restaurants/Cafés, direkter Wasserzugang), es gibt eine Küche und große Gemeinschaftsräume. Es ist ein kleines Hostel mit vielen Solo-Reisenden, sodass es leicht ist, Leute kennenzulernen:) Ansonsten: - nettes Personal - jeden Morgen kostenloses Gebäck - kostenloses Trinkwasser - gute WLAN-Verbindung

Es gibt nur drei Toiletten/Duschen mit ausschließlich kaltem Wasser. Die Bambusbetten sind recht laut bei Bewegung und vergleichsweise hart.

目の前がビーチ。泳げる感じではないが凄く気持ちがいいです。ロケーション最高！近くにバイクレンタル店、洒落た飲食店あり。

シャワーのお湯が出なかった気がする。

Heerlijk verblijf bij Blue House Hostel! Vanaf het vriendelijke ontvangst voel je je meteen welkom. De kamers zijn schoon en netjes; de dorms zijn comfortabel, met iets hardere matrassen en dunne lakens, maar prima om op te slapen. Elk bed heeft een klein lichtje en een oplaadpunt, en de airco werkt perfect van 21:00 tot 12:00. De keuken en leefruimte zijn gezellig en goed ingericht. De achtertuin is een absolute topper: direct aan zee, met de mooiste zonsondergangen, zitjes, tafeltjes, hangmatten en hangstoelen – ideaal om te ontspannen. Dit is een rustig hostel, geen partyhostel, dus perfect voor wie van relaxen houdt. Er is gratis koffie, thee en ’s ochtends broodjes. Er zijn twee douches, wc’s en wastafels buiten, en één grote, ruime badkamer binnen. Handdoeken zijn beschikbaar tegen een klein eenmalig bedrag en kunnen daarna vervangen worden. Een klein kluisje is aanwezig met een borg van 100 PHP, en je backpack kan makkelijk onder je bed. Al met al: een fantastisch, rustig plekje met een geweldige sfeer en prachtige locatie aan zee. Echt een aanrader voor iedereen die van comfort, zonsondergang en een ontspannen vibe houdt. Bedankt aan het hele team!

The beach front was really nice and relaxing spot. The staff is super nice and helpful, and the location is great in my opinion.

Sometimes the cleaning of the toilets happened in the middle of the day I’d say between 8,30 and 10,30 and it would take also long Also there’s often a bad sewage smell near the outdoor bathrooms

Endroit calme de bord de mer avec des couchers de soleil incroyables. L'endroit est grand, propre et bien pensé. Avec même droit aux pâtisseries locales gratuites au petit-dejeuner, bien qu'il y ait déjà un grand espace cuisine pour se faire à manger soi-même. Beaucoup de choses à proximité à pied (restaurants, bars, location de scooters, etc.)

Very nice and cozy when evening, i enjoyed staying

Lack of cr

Emplacement au top, magnifique espace extérieur. Chambre agreable avec rideaux

Being so close to the sea...its just amazing to chill all day on hammocks 2 meters away from the ocean.

No mosquito nets,even tough it wasn't a problem for me

That it is by the beach. Plenty of hammocks and chairs to lounge around while listening to the sea waves.

Beautiful hostel in a great location. It’s very quiet, and the common areas both inside and outside make it really easy to meet other travelers. The private beach is absolutely amazing. On top of that, the Starlink connection and solar panels make it a great choice for anyone who needs to work remotely, like me. I spent two weeks there, and the hostel still had electricity even during a two-day blackout across the whole area.

Nice clean property on the beach, beautiful views. Google maps links to sites and recommended restaurants make things super easy. Even the neighbours pregnant cat prefers it here and is just delivering her babies as I left.

C’est bien situé, assez propre, le personnel est agréable. Un bon endroit pour faire des rencontres, se reposer et faire la fête.

Dès le premier jour je me suis fait voler mes AirPods dans un des dortoirs. Je les avais laissé dans mon lit en hauteur. Quelqu’un est venu fouiller dans mes affaires, le personnel n’a rien pu faire. Une équipe de nettoyage était venue dans l’après midi. Faites attention à vos affaires, j’ai l’habitude d’être en dortoir et je n’avais jamais rencontré de problème avant.

The service (!), the kitchen, the sitting outside

No hot water to shower

Direkt am Wasser, auch wenn man hier keinen schönen Strand hat, dafür aber schnorcheln kann. Die Lage ist insgesamt gut, das Internet schnell und es gibt eine große Küche. Das Personal ist freundlich

Die Klimaanlage wird nur nachts eingeschaltet (ca. 20:00-08:00 Uhr), sodass man tagsüber eine sehr hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit im Zimmer hat. Die Betten sind für große Menschen (ab 1.85m) zu klein und quietschen bei jeder Bewegung. Es liegt sehr viel Sand rum, den man zwangsläufig vom Strand hereinbringt. Es gibt nur ein richtiges Badezimmer und zwei Klos/Duschen draußen, das halte ich für etwas zu wenig für ca 18 Leute.

der Aufbau vom Hostel ist sehr schön weil es einen großen “social space” in der Küche mit langem Tisch gibt. Morgens gibt es gratis Gebäck zum Frühstück. Alle die Faktoren haben es super leicht gemacht Menschen kennenzulernen. Alleine zum Sonnenuntergang trifft man sich häufig im Hostel wieder weil der Garten perfekt ist um den Sonnenuntergang zu schauen. Das Personal ist super sympathisch und hilfsbereit. Es macht einfach Spaß einen Tag im Hostel zu bleiben. Neben an bekommt man direkt frisches Gemüse und Obst. Restaurants, Bars und Geschäfte sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen Es war außerdem sehr sauber, auch die Küche. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt :)

Die Bambusgestelle der Betten quietschen bei Bewegung. Mit Ohrenstöpseln aber kein Problem. Ansonsten ist der Wasserdruck der Dusche eher gering und es gibt nur kaltes Wasser. Da sollte man sich vielleicht vorab im klaren sein :)

Only its location is good and it has access to the beach.

There is only 1 shower for 15 people in the hostel, which means you have to wait a long time. The water in the shower is cold and the flow is not strong. They don't give you a towel, only money. The sockets in the rooms don't always work.

Bon emplacement pour les restau, bar, cafés et sunset sur la plage

L’auberge est tenue par un français qui n’est pas forcément très convivial (ni bonjour ni au revoir) et que j’ai vu ne pas être très agréable avec son staff philippin. A refaire j’aurais privilégier une guesthouse tenue par un local.

Me encantó quedarme aquí. Me sentí como en casa. El espacio tiene zonas comunes muy agradables que invitan a conectar con las personas. El personal es increíblemente agradable y chill también. Me sentí muy acogida, cómoda y con mucha paz. Me dió muchísima pena irme y que se acabara mi tiempo allí, me hubiera quedado infinito 😍

Lo único que podría decir es que muchas veces los baños estaban ocupados

On s’y sent comme à la maison, le personnel est accueillant et le lieux est très chaleureux. Je recommande à 100%

Seul petit bémol qui peut déranger certains voyageurs, je précise qu’il n’y a pas d’eau chaude.

Ar condicionado demasiado frio.

Staff snacks sea kitchen all

the community, I was able to meet amazing people during my stay there

None

I’ve stayed here for 3 nights and it seriously feels like home! Ruth and Prissie are absolute legends, super accommodating, and they even hooked me up with some awesome spots to visit since I came with zero plans. The kitchen view? Perfect. The vibe? So chill for relaxing. The sunsets? Unreal you just gotta see it for yourself! And the location makes it even better it’s the place to be, with bars and restaurants just nearby.

i love the huge common space (living room,kitchen and dining) plus points the beach in the back!!

none

Pressa was a great staff member who always went out of her way to make people comfortable and was very patient and helpful! The hostel itself was great, has a gorgeous view and the free pastries and coffee in the morning was a winner.

La ubicación es fantástica, cerca de bares y servicios. Las vistas que ofrece el hostel son maravillosas, la playa, la puesta de sol... y el personal muy amable! Se organizan varias actividades en el hostal, para compartir momentos juntos. Ofrecen también algo de bollería gratis.

Aire acondicionado muy frío en el dormitorio compartido.

although there was a little "problem" but the staff abled to find ways. And we are happy!

We love the place and the accommodation specially the kitchen and seaside view.

Le wifi pour travailler est vraiment de très très bonne qualité. Tout le staff est vraiment d'une gentillesse incroyable. Très aimables et toujours là pour aider. Le petit déjeuner gratuit aussi m'a surpris, très agréable détail!

Essentially a private garden, nice kitchen and communal space, merienda provided for breakfast. Helpful staff. Great views.

Rooms hot during the day

# Translation to English: My stay at Bluehouse Hostel in Siquijor was fantastic. It's a true social hub where I connected with fellow travelers in the well-designed common spaces. The daily activities were excellent - from island tours to fun evening gatherings. Cleanliness was top-notch, with staff keeping everything spotless. The comfortable beds guaranteed great sleep after long days exploring. Their solar power system was impressive, providing reliable electricity despite island outages. The Starlink internet was surprisingly fast for such a remote location. Bluehouse perfectly balances comfort, social atmosphere, and quality amenities. Definitely recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

all perfect

The hostel is good value and has nice outdoor space for relaxing at the waterfront. Was fine for one night

Rooms are very small with no space to put backpack so you had to jump over people’s stuff to get to your bed. The top bunk is very hard to get up to and the bunks generally didn’t seem super stable. The bathroom was not super clean.

Comfortable spaces, especially the back garden which sits right on the water. Great sunsets from there. Very well equipped kitchen, great staff, and all kinds of amenities (free tea and coffee, simple breakfast, scooter rental, planned events, etc.). There are a range of food options within walking distance, from fancy to greasy to cheap local stuff (shout out to Roadhouse Restaurant). When I was there everyone was extremely nice and friendly. It was a very social hostel.

The rooms all have A/C that runs all night. I know some like it, but I found it freezing cold and the provided blankets were not nearly enough. I slept in my sleeping bag my whole stay and others complained that they couldn't sleep at all. All the beds are also equipped with fans, so to me the A/C was totally unnecessary. I strongly recommend that they keep one room without A/C for those who don't like it. Until then, I don't recommend this place to people who are sensitive to cold. The beds are also made of bamboo, which means they creak quite loudly whenever someone on a top bunk moves around.

Really nice house with a beautiful sea front. Location is great as its close to restaurants and staff are very helpful. Also they have some social activities to meet people

The bed pillows are not comfy. I hope they will be replaced. They are so thin so it can be hard to sleep. During my stay, all their scooters were rent out.

Has a very cute beach front where you can chill, and a proper kitchen

Since its located on the beach, there is sand everywhere

It’s a lovely location, great sunsets.

The beds are made from bamboo, if you are ok the bottom bunk and the person above moves the beds make a lot of noise woke me up a few times. The bathroom was okay, the toilet flush kept breaking so you would often find a horrific surprise in the toilet which was very unpleasant.

The scenery is peaceful, the place is convenient for us, the staffs are nice, accommodating and approachable.

1. There is no indoor sleepers, the bed stairs of the bunk beds were too steep.

Great location with a cute little beach. You get everything you need and the house makes you feel like at home.

I love the seafront and the use of the kitchen. friendly staffs. great location

total 2 rooms (both 8 people dorm) share only 3 bathrooms, 2 are outside. Bathrooms are almost always occupied and floors are almost always sandy... I understand because it's right on the beach. The bunk beds are made of bamboo so it's very loud and shakey whenever there's a little movement.

I had one of my best stay in the Philippines at Blue House. Thomas and Arthur were really helpful with all the recommendations. The hostel got the best location, walking distance to restaurants, small shops and nightlife. Rooms are cleans, bed very comfortable. Really liked the decoration inside and the beach front with all hammocks, hanging chairs and beach chairs, perfect spot for sunset. They also rent scooters which is very convenient. I hardly recommend this place. I can't wait to go back 🙃

Amazing place with even more amazing owners and staff. Perfect for remote work, as there is Starlink and generator for power blackouts. I was supposed to stay there for 10 nights but extended. The most amazing sunsets on Siquijor

This backpacker was a blast. The atmosphere is super relaxed and easy to meet people. The facilities are always clean and the beds are pretty comfortable. The staff is super nice and always willing to help you out, from recommendations of things to do to tips for getting around the area. The location is perfect, with direct access to the beach, close to everything but without noise. If you're looking for a comfortable place, with a good vibe and at a good price, this is the place. I would definitely go back!

It is well located, the kitchen is well equipped and you can buy fruits in front of the house and do your own smoothies. You have direct access to the beach and a nice area to chill with hammocks and sunbeds.

There was only one bathroom with a toilet and shower inside, the rest was outside.

Location, kitchen

Noisy beds, 4 bed- dorm really small and smelly!!, 8 bed dorm better; bathrooms at noon always very dirty! Need a cleaning during the day!! 3 toilets/showers - but only 1 with handsoap AC from 9pm (!!!) - way too late Towel costs extra Not social at all...

Awesome place, awesome vibe... very very cool!

Beds a little noisy when having to move from the top bed

I had a great stay at blue house. The location is really good: in central San Juan & I could walk to lots of restaurants & all the bars. It has a private bit of beachfront with swing seats where you can chill & it looked so pretty at night with the lights. The showers were good, everything was very clean & there's a kitchen you can use & free coffee. The French owners were super nice & helpful. They also had a generator & starlink so we always had power & internet during the island power outages. Cant recommend this hostel enough. Would definitely stay here again.

Definitely the best place I’ve been in the Philippines. I loved the vibes there, met some amazing people, I had to extend my stay ! I loved the location, kindness of the staff with all the good recommendations, the set up of the room with comfortable matress, the kitchen, the strong WIFI, and of course the amazing ocean view !!

Such a nice place, love the place, love the staff who is super friendly. I extended my stay here as i loved it.

Good location near to bars and restaurants and right on the beach. Free coffee in the morning and the bathrooms were good standard.

During our first night there was a power outage which meant the AC and fans went off - we were so hot for a long time in the night. Beds weren’t particularly comfortable and there was no privacy on the top bunks. No plugs by the bed and the lights were temperamental. The hostel controls the AC temp and hours.
