Che and James Guest House

Solo women consistently highlight the hosts' personal attention and genuine local recommendations. A few note the homestay sits away from the centre, which suits some but not all itineraries.

• The hosts go beyond typical recommendations, sharing local spots that aren't in guidebooks and providing the kind of insider knowledge you'd get from a Filipino friend.
• Located near UV university campus with a landmark reference point (back gate of UV/Cleanday Laundry) that makes it easy to direct local transport.
• Run by a local couple who provide genuine recommendations for non-touristy spots in Cebu and treat guests like extended family.
• Basic amenities compared to hotels, so expect homestay-level facilities rather than hotel services.
