Villa de Babat

Location was good. Walking distance to KM 0. Owners are very kind and helpful.

Internet/Wifi is so difficult from our room in 3rd floor. Hope they can fix this. Also our bathroom doesnt have exhaust fan. We only opened the windows but not for long or else mosquitos would come in.

PRO: Walkable (5-10mins walk) from the airport, quiet location, clean, nature-ry, has a non-chlorinated pool, kind and helpful staff, free and delish breakfast, room was spacious and clean, bathroom was spacious, clean and updated, AC was strong/cool, flush/toilet was tested and passed with flying colors, has a tiny honesty store in-site (well-stocked, reasonably priced), wifi is decent, easy to find transport, staff will hook you up with tours, very accomodating with early check-in (we arrived at 8-9am and they still checked us in with breakfast too!). CON: Water pressure can be weak (bidet), no bell in the front desk which can cause some delay since we have to look for the staff, laundry service is pricey. RECOMMENDATION: Highly recommended for short/long stay in Basco for business/leisure.

It’s was quite and comfortable.

Room didn’t have hot water.

Their mattresses are comfy and the breakfast is good. Location is also nice. Staff services is excellent throughout and they are very helpful.

Room is not clean especially the mattresses thou mattress is comfy. We weren't able to sleep for the last 2 nights of our stay because of bed bugs. I was bitten many times of mosquitoes and bed bugs. Wifi can't cover all the spot in our room.And I hope they also put hot shower.

Location wise, it was very near the airport. As in I was surprised to find out that it was just a block away. They offered free airport transfers, you just have to politely ask them. Free breakfast too. But I wasn’t anle to ask if their dining hall offers full meal services. Though the breakfast set was simple, it would be enough to start the day. I loved the fish lumpia, the longganisa and tapa they served us for our stay. The staff, I can not say negative as they were very nice and so accommodating. I felt so at home. The family room was spacious for our group. The room set-up was comfortable and homey. The hotel was a walking distance to a grocery store, cafes and other restaurants. Google map is very useful here.

Whatever negative points that I felt, can not equal to the positive feeling that Villa de Babat did for our group. In fact if ever I can return to Batanes, I will still choose to stay here again.

Hospitable hosts and aesthetic environment.
