Efficiency, Clean, Helpful staff, Good food

This is Banaue's original backpackers favourite. It has been around for decades, and I stayed here about 30 years ago. The place is still going strong and still run by the same woman. They have kept up with times, and improved a lot, even extended the balcony restaurant which is overlooking the rice terraces. It's a 'one stop shop' with a convenience store, souvenir shop, Guesthouse and restaurant all in one. My room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and had an attached bathroom with a hot shower. Good lightning, window with a view, a fan and good airflow, so my damp clothes could finally dry up. Charging outlets in the room. Excellent WiFi. I came from Batad and there is only 1 Jeepney so I arrived early, but they gave me the room straight away. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating and the view from the terrace is incredible. Smoking area as well.

Rooms and restaurant has an awesome view of the rice terraces. Rooms are spacious. Restaurant offers plenty of food choices. Staff are great. Location is convenient if planning for Batad trekking and they also help arrange tour guides in Banaue. There is enough parking space in front of the hotel.

The staff is very kind. The food is really good. It’s near the entrance to Batad, better if you arrive during daylight time. There are no plugs in the rooms in general in Batad but you can leave your devices charging in the common area. Warm shower. The place is clean. Great view.

Staff were amazing; welcoming and so helpful. Comfortable beds and decent bathrooms too. Was able to leave my big kit bag whilst I went on two day trek with just my small bag and also let me use a shower when I returned before my bus. Food very good and cooked fresh fir each person. Staff also made me sandwiches to go for lunch on more than one day. Amazing place to stay in Danaue.

Location and accomodating staff

Staff was very nice! Room was clean and comfy. The town is amazing and has the best views.

Homely hotel more than a homestay!  'Homestay' suggested to us living as part of the family, but the description sounded more like a hotel and restaurant so we booked it, and I'm glad we did. Beatrix, our host, was very welcoming and friendly, always ready to help, and with a smile. Despite all our enquiries, the only transport we could find from Baguio to Banaue was overnight and arrived at 4am. Even though it was so early, Beatrix immediately sent Mark to pick us up, and even offered us a hot drink upon arrival. Thankfully, she knew of a daytime van for our return to Bagiou, and arranged our tickets. The daytime minibus was very comfortable, picked us up from the homestay, and dropped us off at our hotel (Bloomfield near the SM centre) in Baguio. Nothing was too much trouble for her, including arranging laundry and sewing jobs. Fully recommend the two private guided trips Beatrix organised for us to see various UNESCO rice terraces. Each of our two guides were knowledgeable and personable, making each trip very interesting and enjoyable. Even wet weather on the first day didn't spoil our experience. We had breakfast and dinner at the homestay each day because the food was fresh, delicious and sufficient quantity. Superb view of terraces from our shared balcony and from the restaurant. Our room had two doubles beds, a small double shelf, and not much additional floor space, so we used the second bed to leave our open cases on. The shower was warm enough but had no cubicle or curtain so the water needed mopping up afterwards. However, cleaning implements were conveniently located on the balcony, which also had a covered washing line and clothes pegs. Extremely clean everywhere. Highly recommend.  As an earlier reviewer said it is rustic so go with the flow and enjoy Banaue Homestay.

Local lodging style. Superfriendly hosts

Everything! Germaine and her dad are so sweet and helpful 💕. The view from the terrace is magnificent, the food is very decent. We had two heavy suitcases with us, so Germaine sent us her neighbors to the end of the road from where you have to walk down to the village. For a small fee, they helped us carry everything. They also work as guides, and we did a hiking tour with them spectacular! There is a shower with warm water, and the whole place is immaculately clean.
