Banaue Greenfields Inn

Irene, the owner is awsome. Her hospitality and care is great. She is also a great tourist guide with wide knowledge, we took with her 2 tours to the rice terracs and it was awsome.

I had an excellent stay at the Banaue Greenfields Inn during my trip to Banaue, from the moment I arrived, I felt right at home thanks to the warm hospitality of the staff, especially Irene who was an excellent host. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the homemade food served at the hotel is delicious. The hotel is conveniently located, making it very accessible to reach the various tours and activities you might want to do during your visit to Banaue. I have absolutely no complaints about my experience at this hotel - everything was perfect. I highly recommend the Banaue Greenfields Inn to anyone visiting Banaue. The combination of excellent service from Irene and the rest of the staff, comfort, and location make this hotel an ideal choice for a memorable stay in this beautiful region of the Philippines.

It is not a region where I will return for the moment, but the memories will last. Highly recommended if you are looking for a peaceful experience.

The friendly accomodation, great home cooking and fantastic view to the rice terraces

Water brakes during the day and no hot water

The view was nothing short of fantastic. Ilene is a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and well spoken. The staff was quick to respond to any request.

It is a provincial location, so dogs barking and roosters thinking 2:15 am is morning!! Otherwise a great stay!!!

The view of rice terraces. Homey feeling and the hosts were nice and acommodating.

Water pressure could have been better.

Awesome location with amazing view, friendly staff, everything was clean, guide was good and funny. Vegetarian food was great.

I could check-in as I arrived (room already available).The view to the rice fields from the terrace in stunning!!!!Much more quiet than the center of Banaue which I appreciated.Really good to get a rest from Manila.I used to walk to the center (30 mins) and even at night always felt safe.Otherwise 50 pesos the tricycle ride.Hot shower.Free tricycle ride from Ohayami bus terminal to the guesthouse on arrival.The owner was really helpful too ;) Thank you!!

When I booked I asked for transfers from Cauayan to Banaue (4 hours driving) and from Banaue to Baguio (7 hours driving) and I am so glad that we did this. Their young driver Yves was brilliant and made both of the long journeys memorable. We travelled in daylight and were able to see some of the breath taking views and experience the terrifying drops in complete safety. He took us to some of the best eating places with the most incredible views on the way. These journeys were highlights of our trip that we will never forget. The hotel is on the outskirts of Banaue proper and is exactly as advertised. The view from our balcony over the local rice terraces is wonderful. Our room was clean and everything worked, the en-suite had flushing toilet and a hot shower. (Often in Filipino hotels, especially in small remote towns, the shower is a large barrel of water that you pour over yourself using a small pot). The breakfast omelettes were great and our hostess, Irene, was friendly and informed. Coffee was so good we brought some away with us. We had one evening meal of a humane version (the chicken meat was beaten after the chicken was killed) of the traditional Pinikpikan dish which Irene prepared for us. We also had a great traditional meal at the 7th Heaven restaurant in Banaue town. We had booked trips through Irene's brother, Ulyssis, and these ran smoothly. We took the hour hike over the stunning Hapao rice terraces to reach the hot springs for a long soak to refresh us before making the return hike using a different route over the terraces. We also went to the Batad rice terraces. But there are lots of other interesting places, caves and mountain tops, to see and visit so it would be easy to spend a week there rather than the two days we had actually in Banaue. All of Benguet is beautiful with small rice terraces dotted all over the place.

When we visited Banaue the town was undergoing a major upgrade and therefore it was a bit like a building site. Even the hotel were we stayed was being extended although the work was almost complete. The town proper was still a working Filipino mountain town that had not been cleaned up for the tourists, which give us a glimpse into the lifestyle that would have prevailed over the recent years. All of this building work did not impinge on our enjoyment of the area, though for future visitors it may well be a different experience. The main road into Banaue is undergoing major widening projects which will make the journey safer for touring drivers. They are building lots of large dwellings on the outskirts of the town, perhaps guest houses or hotels. I hope they don't go too far and turn this rugged mountain town into a tourist mecca like Boracay, but perhaps what will save them from that fate is their remoteness which is also one of its most attractive features.

Banaue is a bit messy if you have to drive yourself, so being already on the road going to Batad, saved us two crossings of the city. The landscape from the windows is spectacular. Good food at good price. Probably the nicest thing about this inn is the staff, Irene and her family are exceptional, very helpful and empathic.
