3BU Hostel Baguio - Session-Governor Pack

Location

The check in lady told me I don’t have a reservation even after showing her my confirmation. After 10 mins of insisting that I have a reservation, she finally was like oh yes, I missed it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I paid for a 4 bed dorm, I was put in a 6 bed dorm although, again, I showed her that my reservation is for a different dorm. The flush of toilet in my dorm didn’t work, there was toilet paper, there wasn’t even a trash can in the bathroom. Sadly, this is the only hostel in Baguio. If you’re backpacker, better to try an find a cheap Airbnb of hotel for your stay.

I like that the bed is clean and comfortable. It also has an aircon so it's nice.

The CR. It doesn't have a ventilating fan, hence, it's moldy. The towels should be replaced.

The price? But you can find cheaper options.

The staff can't speak English. There should be drinking water but no. They don't clean very well. You have to bring your own toiletpaper. They had nothing when I arrived.

I appreciated the capsule bunk beds. It offers a lot of privacy for when you want to feel alone or being anti social. The room was large enough to have a place for your bag to go. There were lockers in room for your valuables. The beds and linens seemed clean and the air conditioning worked. The location is excellent for going to the park, shopping mall or catching a bus. The station is right next door.

The shower and bathroom was repugnant and vile. The door, walls, and ceiling were covered in black mold. All because there is no fan to vent all the moisture out. The shower was basically over the top toilet so you were standing awkwardly to shower. Hot water was intermittent. I never had a hot shower but others managed too. They cleaned the black mold off on day 2 but the stains were still present. I'd stay here again but for shorter, because the bathroom really put me off. Thankfully the beds were clean and a safe haven.
