Lake Sebu's affordable accommodation scene is centered around guesthouses and homestays, offering opportunities for cultural immersion rather than a traditional backpacking hostel atmosphere.
1. School of Living Traditions (SLT) Homestay
Type: Homestay / Cultural Guesthouse
The School of Living Traditions provides a unique and affordable homestay experience with the indigenous T'boli people. Guests stay in a traditional T'boli long-house, offering a direct opportunity to engage with the local community and learn about their culture, traditions, and arts, such as T'nalak weaving. It is an ideal setting for those seeking genuine cultural immersion and a peaceful, authentic stay. The atmosphere encourages interaction with the T'boli family and students, providing insights into their way of life.
At TFA Travel we believe in travel for all. Our mission is to enable people to explore the world as easily as possible without having to pay a travel agent a huge commission.
Our typical audience are those that want to see something new and get involved with authentic experiences of a country. Whether you are a backpacker, solo traveller, solo female traveller, straight or LGBTQ+ couple, family, you will find local and authentic experiences here.
