Batad View Inn and Restaurant

Great basic accomodation when coming to Batad. The rooms are clean, bathroom is rustic but the view you get from your room is priceless.

The view was nice.

Their cat bit me within 5 minutes of me being there even though they said it was friendly. I wouldnt have let it sit on me if they said that it bites, instead they encouraged it sitting on me. I had to leave 1st thing in the morning to get a rabies shot, they did not compensate me in anyway just shrugged it off and said it was normal. They where nice people but i do not find this ok.

Fantastic views. A good place to sleep, but waking up and having breakfast with a view is the reason you come to batad/banaue.

Nothing was bad

Amazing views and location, plus clean facilities.

Property is in amazing place - you can face the main Batad’s rice terrasses from Rita’s Inn place. But the main thing - that after spending 2nights there - you start to feel like at home. Germina ( Rita’s daughter) who is actually running the place - is making fantastic home made food, arraning guides, massages. So my suggestion - go there for 2 or 3 nights, enjoy the place , take the tours with a guides and enjoy massage in the evening. Everything with affordable price and you get not just a service , but a community and family feeling. And talk with Germina’s father Romeo - He is the star of Lonely Planet book and really amazing old man (Happiest man on earth that I have met). Go to this place and you will not be dissapointed, but only really loved!

Batad is a beautiful place to visit. You might be surprised that road ends and you need to walk around 15 minutes, but it is not that difficult as it might sound. Rita’s Inn is on the beginning of the village. Rice terraces are below. Photo with coffee shows exactly what you will see while on breakfast. Inn and whole place has a very calm and welcoming atmosphere. We had joyful discussion with owners where we learned a lot about Batad’s history and traditions. Thank you for that. We took a tour around a terraces and visited a waterfall which is also nearby. Rita’s Inn offers homemade food with rice from their terrace. It was cold in the evening and during night, take a proper clothes. You can ask for additional blanket if you need. Night was dark and quiet.
