For a number of years now, Siargao has been one of the world’s most popular surfing destinations.

As well as this, it's also home to many more of the best attractions in The Philippines!

Helping it to draw in thousands of travellers from all around the world, including surfers, backpackers and families alike.

What this means is that there is plenty of great accommodation in Siargao, suited to travellers of all types and budgets.

Looking for a cheap hostel on the beach? Well, you’ll find it in Siargao!

Keen for something a little more luxurious? No problem, there’s plenty to choose from.

Hopefully this quick guide on the best resorts, hostels and hotels in Siargao will help you to find where to stay in Siargao for your upcoming trip; so, let’s get stuck in!

Who should you book with? Agoda vs Booking.com

We've used Booking.com to find us affordable accommodation, not just in The Philippines, but all over Southeast Asia! They have a wide range of accommodation to offer, from trusted hostels to luxury hotels so you will be sure to find the best place to stay in Siargao that has everything you need.

The added bonus of using Booking.com is that the more you use it to book great places to stay, the more perks you will be entitled to. Discounted rooms and free welcome drinks, anyone?

Alternatively, Agoda are always our second choice! I love how modern and friendly their site is, and they sometimes come in slightly cheaper than Booking.com. Especially when you take into consideration Agoda Cash, which gives you cashback on certain properties, which you can then accumulate and use on future bookings.

For me, I find it best to find a property you like and then check the price on both Agoda and Booking.com, to see who comes in most affordable in that case. That's why, for all properties below, I've gone ahead and included links to both, you're welcome!
