Las vegas lodge and restaurant

I stayed 3 nights in this wonderful guesthouse. The views are amazing. The bar area and the food is great quality and good prices. Staff are very friendly especially the owner Celine. I like Griza the staff girl, she always smiles and very friendly. Leo the owner too has spent many many years making this guesthouse very nice with the amazing wooden antiques he has bought. Great value for money to stay here. Lots of hikes here in Banaue. I really liked the hike to Poitan village and through Bocos village with amazing scenery even in the rain and clouds. A truly magical experience to be had here.

The family is so welcoming and help you a lot to organise your visit or trek The food is good and cheap

Nothing

The property had a lovely view over the rice paddies.

The beds were very uncomfortable. They only provide one tiny blanket which isn’t enough for the cold mornings and evenings in January. We asked for another blanket but it didn’t help much at all. On our second day they were having the kitchen renovated which they didn’t warn us about until the day it was happening. If I had known I wouldn’t have booked in the first place. It was very loud. The kitchen was closed and no food could be provided. The shared bathrooms are filthy and really need a good clean. Toilet paper isn’t provided. When we booked a tour with them we felt like we were ripped off. The couple who own the lodge couldn’t give us a written price list we were then told that it would be 2000 pesos each plus 1800 pesos for the tour guide. We found out from other people they had a tour guide who did the same thing for 1600 pesos. Essentially we were being charged 4000 pesos by the hotel to arrange a jeepney to the Batad for the rice paddies which is extortionate for the sake of a phone call. We were warned by the hotel owner that other tour guides would provide a bad quality tour so we should book through the hotel directly which I now have found out to not be true. No plug sockets in the room only in the restaurant area. If the place was full it wouldn’t be enough sockets for everyone.

The owners and tour guides went out of their way to make me feel welcome and were amazing hosts. On my arrival they explained in detail all the tours on offer and gave me their best recommendations. I felt really safe here as a solo female traveller and nothing was too much for them. I ate breakfast and dinners here and enjoyed the company of the hosts and guides over a drink or two also. The room was basic but perfect for two nights, it has views across the beautiful countryside.

It's a little far to walk from any restaurants, I didn't fancy it at night. I ate at the hotel and it was good food.

The owner was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We love the view from our room - it was beautiful!

Nothing i like. Room is just a room with 3 very small beds and no window. And very dirty. Bathroom is too bad, need to wash your hands outside, around 10 m away, and no toilet papers.

I loved the hotel! It's made of wood and has a fantastic atmosphere. The restaurant has a beautiful view and it’s opening early so you can catch something to eat before going on trekking. Celine was super helpful, advised me what to see and answered all my questions. It's a wonderful place to relax in the midst of stunning nature. Just a heads up, it's not a place for those seeking a fancy experience, but perfect for people wanting to log off and escape from the city.

It is quite cool in January, so be sure to pack a warmer pyjama if you are visiting during this month.

Koloy and Celine were very accommodating and helpful throughout my stay by providing a comfortable room, giving great advice on enjoying Banaue the neighboring towns, and arranged for a driver to take me around the main tourist sites! The meals they provided were also delicious!

It was perfect

The staff were amazing! So kind and considerate. Helped me book tours and gave sound advice. Views from property incredible. Strongly recommend
