Vilma's Homestay

The host was very nice and helpful. She cooked us food, as there were no options available up in the hill. We just booked it an hour before getting there as we were coming from Whang-ods village. The facilities were super clean. The double bed was surprisingly comfy.

There were not a lot of options through this app and others. All places were all in the mountain when you search for places to stay in Bontoc. So it is a 25 min drive from the center. Also since we just booked it an hour before check in. The host wasnt aware of our arrival hence gave us a room that she cleaned up and prepared right away. Then later she found out thay we booked a specific room. It was also my fault for not informing her which room we booked but I forgot so I will not fault her on the mixup when I should had said something and told her about the chosen room. Its all good though, something I should be more aware of and know which room I booked.

Vilma welcomes with a warm smile and quiet hospitality. We had meals provided by Vilma and they were good. The location is great, it's at the end of the road where the Jeepney drops off, so you can't get lost. It's easy to access the beautiful rice terraces from there and we enjoyed a hike (unguided) to Favarey where the owner of the store told us about local goings on while we drank a cola each. Vilma's homestay is kept exceptionally clean. My phone service (Globe) was better here than in town. There's a little store just up the road for a beer or ice-cream.

The beds are typical but we improved that by asking Vilma for a 2nd mattress.

Everything fits in perfectly with the character of the location. Vilma is an amazing host and so nice and friendly.

Village outside of bontoc, was a very cool place to visit. Vilma is a great host. :) Dogs are cute Perfect place to relax or go for a walk in the rice terrace

Nanay Vilma was so accomodating. Loved the toilet and showers. Food was great- homecooked by nanay, location is so close to the beautiful rice terraces and Mt Kupapey. Nanay can arrange/contact tours for you. This homestay is giving very homey vibes. Would recommend!

Limited jeep times going to town, was quite far to reach but definitely worth the hassle.

It felt like a genuine homestay allowing you to gain a better understanding of how people live in this part of Luzon. Vilma was very friendly and helpful, arranging local guides to facilitate visiting the surrounding countryside and rice terraces. Everything is very clean and good meals are provided upon request for very reasonable rates. It's located immediately alongside the start/end of the steep jeepney ride up from Bontoc.I really enjoyed my stay and would thoroughly recommend Vilma's Homestay.

Nothing. No internet, not even 4G anywhere in Maligcong, if you have a SMART SIM (although GLOBO SIM does pick up a signal hence it's used by the locals), however this was not a problem for a few days stay.

We loved our stay here! Thanks to Vilma we really felt at home, she is really caring, we didn't miss anything. She also cooks really great food and can offer vegetarian option. The jeepney from Bontoc (4 per day, we took one at 11h30) stops just in front of the house. From there you can hike to another village (Mainit) or walk across beautiful Maligcong rice terraces Thank you again Vilma, take care!

Vilma is very friendly, the food she prepared us delicious. The facilities are very nice, e.g. the shower had hot water and the bed was comfy.

extremely clean and welcoming stay in a beautiful high altitude hamlet just outside Bontoc Vilma couldn’t be more kind, helpful and accommodating The place is ideal for self catering with a sari sari shop nearby for basic stuff Good location for walking from

just would have liked to stay longer
