Moderne en leuke accommodatie

Goed onderhouden accommodatie, leuke huisjes, precies zoals op de foto! Probeer vooral hier te ontbijten want dit is erg lekker. Ze zijn hier erg behulpzaam en kunnen helpen met tripjes en surflessen, aanrader! Buitenbadkamer met een goede, warme douche. Ook een klamboe aanwezig in de kamer. Veel te beleven in de omgeving, elke avond wel live music in General Luna. Tuktuks zijn altijd aanwezig aan het begin van de weg van Mao Mao, waar ik zou een scooter aanraden om te huren.

Top verblijf, wat ik iedereen kan aanraden!

De sfeer, de mensen, het eten. Het zag er prachtig uit, de kamers zijn mooi en de douche ook prachtig. Je bed wordt elke dag opgemaakt en de kamer schoon gemaakt. Heb mij echt welkom gevoeld. Het klopt gewoon allemaal!!

De huisjes en vooral de sfeer

der coole vibe hat sich nicht bestätigt.

Wir haben hier gebucht weil uns die Bilder und der vibe überzeugt haben. Im Nachhinein würden wir das nicht mehr tun. Die Unterkunft bietet ansonsten nichts. Das outdoorbadezimmer ist cool jedoch ist das auch schon alles. Das Frühstückscafe nebenan war ausgezeichnet.

Wie man auf den Bildern erkennen kann gibt es kein Bett sondern nur Matratzen, die am Boden liegen. Die Matratzen sind komplett durchgelegen und sollten getauscht werden. Selbes gilt für die Handtücher. Bitte erneuern - null Saugkraft. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir gleich mal darüber informiert dass wir nach einer Nacht unser Zimmer wechseln müssen. Finde ich nicht so cool vor allem weil wir ohnehin nur 2 Nächte gebucht haben. Wieder alles ein und auspacken. Wir stimmen natürlich zu - was anderes bleibt uns nicht übrig. Wir sind digitale Nomaden sind also auf gutes wifi angewiesen. Das wifi hat während des gesamten Aufenthalts nicht funktioniert. Wir sind dann zum Arbeiten in ein Hotel in der Nähe gefahren. Im Badezimmer gibt es kein Duschgel/Schampoo. Wird auch nicht ausgewiesen, war ich aber auf der Philippinenreise gewohnt. Wir haben direkt über die Unterkunft einen Surfkurs gebucht. Die Kurse waren nett, hätten wir jedoch zum etwas günstigeren Preis auch direkt am Strand buchen können. Wir mussten einen Vertrag unterschreiben dass ugv 500$ fällig werden wenn wir deren Surfbretter beschädigen. An unserem Abreisetag wurden wir von lauten staubsaugerartigen Geräuschen geweckt. Es stellte sich heraus das Pestizide zur Insektenbekämpfung auf und unter die Strohhütten gesprüht wurde. Uns wurde zwar erklärt dass unsere Hütte extra ausgelassen wurde (wow Danke) aber selbst wenn Grenzen die Hütten alle aneinander und man fühlt sich nicht wohl wenn man aufwacht und rund um einen jeder Gasmasken und Sicherheitsanzüge trägt. Fazit: man kann in jeder anderen Unterkunft wohnen um den Lifestyle und die traumhaften Ausflugsziele der Insel mitzubekommen. Für eine Unterkunft ohne Pool oder Meerzugang bietet das Mao einfach zu wenig für den Preis. Da gibt es bessere und gastfreundlichere Alternativen auf der Insel

Surfer vibe, great food. And the huts with outdoor bathroom made you feel like a local

The huts and the surfer vibe. Really laid back and the fact that they only have 6-7 houses makes it a tiny community. The covered outdoor shower is a really nice feature. Lastly, the food! Best smoothly bowl we had sofar.

Leuk surfhostel met mega vriendelijk en leuk personeel!

De hutjes waar je in slaapt zijn super schattig en het personeel is echt mega vriendelijk en relaxed.

Het bed was wat aan de kleine kant, maar nu is m’n vriend ook wel heel erg lang.

The best stay in the jungle

This place is the chill vibe you need when on Siargo. Just a short bike ride away from general Luna and cloud nine. Right in the middle of both. They whole environment is perfect and the rooms were so lovely. The food they serve from 7:30-3 is amazing and perfect if you are vegetarian/vegan. The chill area is great and has strong wifi. Cute dogs<3 Ien is also a bonus touch, everyone who worked there was so helpful and made for a pleasant stay.

Not much! Honestly the only things I would mention is the shower was either cool or really hot but you don’t really need a shower that’s hot on Siargo and we took the surf lesson which were good but would of thought there was a bit more coaching involved in the price. But I got sick so I wasn’t able to do more days so I’m sure that was just the first day of surfing.

Can't wait to go back

The surf was an incredible experience, they have awesome surf instructors that thoroughly explain and make all the surf experience fun and easy. The bungalow was dreamy, very romantic for our holiday and their bamboo bathroom is something else. Breakfast was delicious, we were happy with the so many options we got to try everyday.

Nooit meer! ☹️

Ontbijtjes zijn lekker + fijne douche.

Ik heb nog nooit een slechte recensie geschreven maar bij deze accommodatie vind ik dit echt nodig. De beoordeling voor dit verblijf is erg hoog en dit begrijp ik totaal niet. Waar iedereen het heeft over een prettige sfeer hebben mijn reisgenoot en ik dit zeker niet ervaren. Er is geen airco en het matras is best smal om met 2 personen op te slapen. Wifi werkt niet goed. Prijzen voor de surflessen zijn hoog ten opzichte van andere organisaties in General Luna. Als je beschadigen aan je surfboard hebt dan hoor je dat tijdens het uitchecken en niet eens direct na je surfles. Of beter gezegd je krijgt een bedrag te horen tijdens het uitchecken, als je dan vraagt waar dit bedrag precies uit bestaat dan hebben ze het pas over de kosten die ze in rekening hebben gebracht voor de schade aan het surfboard. Ik begrijp best dat ze hiervoor kosten in rekening brengen maar hoe ze dit communiceren (net als vele andere punten die ik maar even achterwege laat) vind ik dit echt heel slecht.

Disappointing!

We liked the laid-back style of the huts - they were cute! Food was also okay!

Unfortunately we were really disappointed with this place even though we read a lot of Good reviews. We spent 3 nights there and we wished we had not booked so many nights in advance. The first night we almost did not sleep since there was a loud party right next to our hut. Also the heat was terrible and the fans did not help. Also the bathroom door didnt close properly so it kept hammering against the Wall all night. The following nights there were no parties, just the heat, Barking and howling dogs and what sounded like an army of frogs right outside (be aware where you step in the Dark). We also did not experience the same friendly vibe as everywhere Else we went (with the exception of one receptionist and the male owner) - when we checked out they didnt ask about our stay and didnt say goodbye. They also charged us an extra fee even though the booking said all fees were included. We were very relieved to move on to our next hotel which was same prize but a 2-floor villa by the beach with a/c and the friendliest people ever.

Please, leave me there! 🫶🏻

MaoMaoSurf is the perfect accomodation if you are a solo traveller. All your needs can be solved without planning anything; as the structure is offering all the required services. From private surfing classes to the land/island hoping tour. Ciara and Marco managed to create a welcoming place in the middle of the wild nature of Siargao. Environmental friendly location together with a super welcoming staff who can meet all your expectation! The keywords there are “no problem only solution!”Great food and amazing people ready to entertain you. Hope I can visit them soon.

Lovely staff, brilliant surf instructors and all round good vibes. Banana pancakes are a must try, as is the coconut coffee. Great spot to go as a couple.

Shower wasn’t amazing but all part of the jungle lifestyle.

Ttwo people had a dream, and they’ve done a remarkable job in realising that dream. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Staff were amazing - did everything they could to make the experience as complete as possible, from a nice healthy breakfast, to helping organise scooter rentals, airport transfer, surf lessons and general chit chat was great.

I wish there was dedicated room wifi - but I got by :) the staff will always push to help you or guide you to access the internet ;)

Loving little boutique resort with a lot of heart and soul

The whole stay was a dream. I was greeted warmly by Jen, the receptionist and I was shown the cute little resort. The restaurant has many goodies. Great smoothies and bowls. After the party there is the pirate sandwich as a hearty variant. Something happens here every day and as a solo traveler you get to know like-minded people from all over the world here in the Chill Out. You only have to say hello once and you'll make new friends :) The owners Chiara and Marco are always jumping around here and give good tips for eating out and always know where the party is in the evening.

The rooms don't have air conditioning, I thought that would be a problem. but the fan does a great job so you sleep like a baby

Book Mao Mao as soon as possible if you want to live the authentic Siargao experience. The place is very well curated and managed with love by Cara and Marco, who are extremely attentive, kind and cool people to be around with. Surfing school is available at the camp, with a lot of great instructors who follow you individually and give you everything you need, always with a smile. Extra note: had a couple of unlucky events (small bike accident) and Cara supported me all along the process, making me feel good and positive about it. This is really important and confirms the feeling of community and “family vibes” that the camp experience wants (and is able) to transmit. Well done Mao Mao!

The perfect home base for a beautiful time in this incredible part of the world

The smoothies were the best I've ever had! The staff and owners were amazing and incredibly helpful. Rooms were beautiful. Everyday they were adding more to make it better. Great vibe in the common area! Thank you Mao Mao

Would have loved aircon in the huts. We found the prices of the tours and surf lessons quite a lot more expensive than other operators on the island.

Paradise!! :)

I have travelled around SEA for few years now and this was by far my absolute favourite holiday! The vibe of this place is truly unmatched - beautiful bungalow in a quiet side of the island, best banana pancake and mango shake, and most importantly the people!! The owner of the place is the coolest couple who love surfing, and they have amazing team of staff who are kind, hard-working, and super fun to hangout with. The surf instructors were very experienced and easygoing who became my very good friends. Thank you so much Cara, Marco, Ien and everyone I’ve met at this little piece of paradise! I can’t wait to come back!! :)

Mao Mao, where do I start? From the moment we arrived, Cara and Marco attend to our every need- from sending their favourite places to eat, best tour packages, well- priced bike rental and organising surfs! Our stay here didn't feel like a check in- check out hotel but more like a relaxing vacation with friends. Even when the surf wasn't pumping, it would feel like hanging out on the waves with friends. Really recommend coaches Loloy and Russell. If that doesn't tempt you, then their breakfasts will. Hands down, the best breakfast on the island! What I would do for another iced coffee. Many tourists on the island visit Mao Mao just for this alone. Cara and Marco live on sight and you can tell that they have put their heart and soul into building this beautiful place to stay- even after the backlash of covid and the typhoon, where some people would feel disheartened, they completely rebuilt and their new, beautiful, tranquil 'home' is a credit to their devotion. Next time we're in Siargao- Mao Mao is first on the list!
