Beautiful accommodation located next to the river. View is amazing and the hut has everything you need. Bed is super comfortable also for tall people. Would definitely recommend this place! Quiet en serene place, but only like 10-15 min from GL.

Amazing view, you have a boat to explore the river. The interior is beautiful as well, very beautiful bathroom.

Very relaxing place that allows for a good disconnect from your busy life. The house is nice and, despite being isolated, everything worked. The owner was really helpful before and during our stay. A completely different experience compared to the main tourist area of General Luna.
It's important to plan for your transportation and food. The food delivery service (Siargao delivery) didn't accept to deliver during our stay. Also plan for a back up internet if you depend on it. Like many things in the Philippines, it's not also always reliable.

What’s not to love!!! Everything was incredible. The balcony with the net was a lovely place to read and nap, the bed was super comfortable, the table counter encouraged work productivity, the kitchen had all the basic necessities, the outdoor shower, the ease of food delivery to the property, the free use of the boat and binoculars to explore the mangrove, the 1 min walk to the cold spring and more! We would definitely recommend this to everyone we know and would come back again for another stay. The host was responsive for questions on WhatsApp as well.
The insects - but it wasn’t a big deal because it was expected and they were not harmful at all.

Incredible views, a quiet place where you can hear all the birds. The owner help us in everything we asked for. You can take a boat for free to go by the river. Perfect stay.

What an amazing place! The river is SO nice to swim in, all secluded. Waking up to the jungle views is magical. Also one of the nicest showers I’ve ever had. Super comfy stay, we’ll be back!

uniqueness of the villa, relaxing view, supportive host .......it's a place of relaxation and a get away from busy life 😍
the water was salty so taking shower feels like you still need to rinse with tap water 😍

Beautiful location, stylish room, great everything, nice hosts.
Sadly we had super loud chainsaw noise from 8am - 6pm both days from workers over the river. Not villas fault, but it ruined our daytime experience, so consider asking in advance what to expect. Tub / pool on the deck is cold and orange sediment water from river, so it's ok but not what we expected.

The location and design was a 10 / 10!

The property is very beautiful with fantastic view of the River. This place is private & you will get the total relaxation you want.
The unit was damp & mildewed specially the kitchen & shower area. The Cabinets are also dusty. It would be nicer if the unit will undergo general cleaning. Bed linens doesnt smell good.

Everything!
Little paradise, tucked away in the middle of nature.
The place is very clean and the view on the river is breathtaking! So peaceful and quiet, but also not too far from GL as well (20 mins by scooter, very wasy to do!)
Communication with the host was great. He even organized for us to have a scooter waiting for us upon our arrival at the place :)
Spent 4 nights here for our honeymoon and we were not disappointed!

it was all good :)

honestly this is the most amazing place I’ve ever stayed. we stayed in the middle of a massive 4 day rain storm and had flooded road and issues with power but my god, the RAIN. considering the adverse weather the owners were fantastic. issues with electrics due to the crazy weather were sorted out at midnight with a handyman. The reason for lower cleanliness rating is not a bad thing. the bathroom smells mouldy but thats only because its the best bathroom in the world with a native plant roof and plants growing around you. you shower in the rain with a warm shower with rain water falling around you. power points everywhere for charging, a boat, a jetty, gazebo, my god this is amazing. go there.
slightly mouldy smell in bathroom see above because its awesome.

Breakfast was a cold shower, quiet meditation.
And journaling by the river. Ahh my favorite.
The view is amazing. The peaceful ambiance. If you want a place to reset, recover, find peace away from the hustle and bustle of General Luna. This is it.
There’s a boat you can borrow, you can swim in the river, or watch trippy mudskippers (fish that can breathe on land) chillin’ on the rocks by the pier.
Haole and Shakabrah a close by restaurants.
Internet was good.
The open bathroom can sometimes let a mosquito or two in. We didn’t light the incense on the first day so I got snacked on. Lol
Remember to light the “Katol” or mosquito incense before you sleep.
It’s a 15-20 min motorbike ride from the hustle and bustle of general Luna but honestly we really Didn’t mind.

This riverhouse is a place to be if you want the quite, sorrounded by trees and a river that suits my stay as a freediver ❤️. Me and my partner prepared groceries coz you wont really like to go out at all as soon as you check-in, its so comfortable and homie i cook us a sweet dinner and healthy breakfast :), there is no phone signal but their wifi is working enough for us to get some work done. I would say that i want to come here if i need my creative self. The meditation space is amazing :)

Wonderful place to relax, surrounded by nature and immersed in tranquility. Very comfortable bed with one of the most stunning morning views we have ever experienced.
The kitchen is well equipped, even for longer stays. Surprisingly fast Wifi compared to some other spots on the island.
We have thoroughly enjoyed practicing yoga at the spacious balcony, with birds chirping in the background, what a delight.
