Our stay was in special circumstances as we ended up in the experience of a super-typhoon. Even in these circumstances, our host, Maya, has tried her best to offer us a good experience and to be available for any questions or requests even when it seemed all odds are against her. All in all, the location is really nice, close to the centre, with all basic amenities. Maya has arranged for us trips around the area at good value prices with an overall good authentic experience.

Nothing to add.

Maya - the host is a pleasure to be around! She has incredible English, one of the best we have experienced in Philippines. She was in contact as soon as we had booked to see if there was anything else she could help with. She booked the most amazing tour of Batad which was the highlight of our trip! We wished we had organised to have dinner and breakfast with the family (which is available with notice) as we had met most of the family (Maya's mother is also lovely with very good English) and would have really enjoyed that! Also incredible views!

Could have provided towels but not a big deal to us!

Everything here was great! After our bus from Manila broke down we were 6 hours late to arrive in Bamaue but were still greeted with a tricycle transfer holding a sign with our names and a big smile. Not to mention brewed coffee on arrival and an absolutely breathtaking view! Maya was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We only had a short time in Banaue but she managed to organise a tricycle (her wonderful father!) and two separate guides to Batad and Hapao terraces so we covered a lot in one day. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to return one day. The view from the porch with a coffee in the morning is unbelievable.

That we couldn't stay longer

Host was super flexible - we arrived an hour earlier at 5:30am and we were given the keys right away before we started the tour

Was a bit cold, but with extra blankets provided we were ok.
