5 reasons why you should stay in an Airbnb when in Siargao island
Your next trip to Siargao is finally planned, tickets in the pockets! Time for the most exciting part; accommodation booking.
At that point, the eternal dilemma arises : what kind of accommodation should you book ? A hotel or an Airbnb ?Here’s 5 reasons why choosing an Airbnb is definitely the right choice for your stay in Siargao.
Reason 1 : an airbnb in Siargao is WAY cheaper than in a hotel
Yes, this is true. If you compare the amenities and the space you’ll get by renting a house on Airbnb in Siargao to what you’ll get by renting a room in a hotel, you’ll find that it’s way cheaper to rent on Airbnb.
Then, it gives you the opportunity to rent an entire house and pay by the night, rather than per person. And this is the best option for groups and families as it works out a lot cheaper. Most of the time, hosts of Airbnbs in Siargao will also agree on adding one person for free or for a very small fee if needed be. If you wish to stay for a week or even longer, you’ll find the best deals on Airbnb as hosts typically offer weekly and monthly discounts.
Prices on Airbnb are clear : when booking your stay you already know about the extra fees or cleaning fees if any. With Airbnb, you shouldn’t expect any amenities or services fees added at the end of your stay : you definitely won’t receive a turn down service. This can sometimes translate to lower prices than hotels in the area.
Last but not least, you can negotiate the prices. Unlike hotels, you get to deal directly with the owner of the Airbnbs, you can ask if they’d be willing to meet your budget. This can be something interesting to do when it’s a last minute booking : you need a place to stay, but the host also needs to fill that vacancy.
Reason 2 : the most amazing designed places in Siargao are on Airbnb
Let’s face it, if you’re not a 16 years old backpacker, staying at a pretty place while on vacation is a must. And if you’re looking for an outstanding place, the chances are you’ll probably find it only on Airbnb Siargao.
Why only on Airbnb ? For a very simple reason; the fundamental of this platform is to create a closer relationship between the host and the guest, by corresponding before booking a place. Thanks to this system, hosts are able to check first the reviews of the guest, initiate a conversation and therefore, approve, or not, the upcoming guest.
Indeed, owners of led-designed houses care a lot about their accommodations. In Siargao, we know for a fact that they put their heart, sweat and personal finances into their home project, and they are, most of the time, afraid that travelers won’t respect the place as if it was their own. With the Airbnb system, hosts have a guarantee that their place should be appreciated and if anything happens, Airbnb will moderate the issue.

Reason 3 : get more freedom by having your own space in an airbnb in Siargao
Whether you’re looking for a place to stay for a romantic getaway, a trip between friends or vacation with your family, having your own space is definitely the top choice. You can choose to cook at home, or go to a restaurant, to set up your own little “apéritif” on your terrace instead of going to a crowded bar where you’ll miss the sunset while waiting to get a table.
If your kids are tired but you’re still having a good time with friends, they can go to bed in the next room, and if you just want to spend a romantic time with your lover, you’ll have the privacy you need.
Working from home ? Some Airbnb homes in Siargao have work spaces, and how comfy is it to work from a private, spacious and quiet house compared to a tiny hotel room or a crowded and noisy working open space ?
At the Triangles Siargao, we also value entertainment ! You can play the music you like on our bluetooth speakers, choose to play chess in our living room, play cards on our terraces, or just relax with a book in our green garden. You’ll have all the space you need to feel the freedom of the island, enjoy each other’s company, and cater for yourself.
Having your own space also means it can be possible to bring your pet ! You can find accommodations that let guests bring their four-legged friends (that is the case at the Triangles Siargao).
Reason 4 : experience like a local while staying in an airbnb in Siargao
This is a huge perk to Airbnb for many travelers. Instead of being in a hotel that’s filled with other travelers, staying in an Airbnb in Siargao means you’ll be in an area filled with locals. It’s a completely different experience as you’ll immerse yourself in a new culture : it will be much more authentic.
As the owners of Airbnb in Siargao have been living the island life for years, they will be keen on giving you the best advice and insider tips ! Cool places to eat, best deals to rent a motorbike or a car, best place to watch the sunset, interesting things to see, and surf spots that work when you’re here.Indeed, Airbnb hosts in Siargao are willing to offer their guests a unique perspective…more useful than anything in the Lonely Planet guide books. The Triangles Siargao has a guest welcome book that includes practical information (money, pharmacy, emergency numbers…), surfing tips, food advices, and the do’s and don’t in Siargao.
Experiencing like a local also means experiencing locally styled accommodations, made with local hands and materials. At the Triangles Siargao, you’ll appreciate our floor and bespoke furniture that were shaped with Filipino hardwood and that gives this warm but sleek design. The majestic roof, entirely formed with nippa, a typical roofing style from the Philippines, totally blends with the surrounding nature.
You won’t find Ikea furniture, imported decoration, nor plastic made amenities at the Triangles Siargao : we are proud to say everything in our houses come from or has been made in Siargao island. You will surely appreciate the little touches that add local charm to the space.
Reason 5 : thanks to the review system, airbnbs in Siargao will offer you the best service
The good thing with Airbnb review system : both guest and host are motivated to be on their best behavior.
If a guest throws a party in the house whereas it was prohibited by the host, he’ll get a negative review and a bad rating which will lead to a much more difficult approval by the next Airbnb he’ll try to book.
For hosts, as they rely a lot on the income from their rented place, it is in their best interest to make sure their guests are satisfied and beyond. As Airbnb owners in Siargao, hosts of the Triangles Siargao understand the importance of being flexible, reactive, available and reliable.
