Balay Buhay sa Uma Bee Farm — Attraction in Sorsogon

We stayed here overnight and would have extended if not for the low pressure area so we left Sorsogon the following day. We stayed in the bahay kubo which was very clean and well maintained. It's simple but it has what you would need for a short stay. It's a nice experience to go back to basics.

Thats the highlight of my stay pa naman… swimming. But all the staff are all really nice, iniisip ko na lang na at least they were able to help the community by giving jobs but again, its over...

Visiting the farm during Christmas with my family was a unique experience, especially since we were the only guests, allowing us to explore everything at our own pace. Nature lovers will find joy in the variety of plants and trees integrated into the farming landscape.
