GUEST HAVEN CHALET — Hotel in Baguio

6 nights stay review from a very picky traveler in awe of the amazing service by Ms. Ven, Sir Gino and their crew. The service and the stay was beyond amazing. From the daily homemade breakfast, personalized service eg. laundry, taxi, on-demand service with coffee/pastry whatever you need with a small bell, spotless cleaning makes them the best stay I have ever had from 12 countries I visited even compared to many 5-star hotels. Lets start with the details.||Check-in day was heavily raining, our hands were full when we got off taxi. I saw some stairs to into a secluded passage into the entrance. I was relieved to see two boys came out of nowhere right away to help us with our luggage. How did they see us coming? We were greeted by Ms Ven, she is the owner and the best host. She treated us like VIPs through the entire stay. ||There are only 4 beautifully designed rooms in the place. The team is dedicated to serving guests of these 4 rooms which is likely why they can maintain the quality so well. Every corner throughout the house has touch of detail and design. You can easily spend 30 mins just taking pics non stop (which is what i did!). We took the Beth room, biggest room on the main floor of the house, high ceiling with king size canopy bed, walk in closet window facing garden. Across from our room is the Alpeh room which is a Queen size room. There is stairs to the bottom floor where there are two more guests room with a shared bathroom. There is a common area where you can sit and chill out, good for friends that book both rooms you would have the bottom floor all to yourself. ||There was typhoon so we couldn't go out. We sat in the common area and just had their signature cinnamon roll with local coffee, and enjoyed the ambience in the common room. We felt like kings and queens served by the whole crew. They even took our laundry to do, hand-washed, folded and returned the next day! wow! We didn't want to go out for dinner due to rain, and asked if they can whip up dinner for us. Was shocked by the classic 3 course meals in fine dining setting! (see pic)||Every day thereafter we woke up to beautiful delicious breakfast (too pretty to eat) with fresh coffee. Just asked for low fat milk to go with coffee, every coffee i drank after in the stay is served with low fat milk, no need to tell again they remembered my preference. Everyday, we would spend sometime sitting in the common room either to work on pc or have afternoon tea (see pic). The room is filled with cinnamon scent along with relaxing music playing from the boombox. ||Maybe its a Baguio thing but the shower was just luke warm and wished there are more outlets for charging electronics in the room. The crew was kind enough to set us up with extension cord. No issues. Lastly, one thing that would make the stay perfect is the neighbors dog that kept barking. Nothing they can do about it but that is the only imperfect part of the stay. ||Heartfelt thank you again to GuestHaven. Everyone is so sincere and eager to ensure we had a good stay. We are beyond grateful for everything they have done for us. There would be no other place we would rather be next time we are Baguio. Hands down, the best best accommodation we have experienced....

Guest haven is a true heaven for people who yearn for relaxed vacation in Baguio city. The place is a 1970 carefully restored house with wooden floors and walls. The furnitures are quirky and unique. Have you seen lampshades on a harp? Or on an old clothes iron? How about a teapot set as chandelier? Cordillera-themed paintings of artist like Clinton Aniversario hang neatly on the walls for the guests to enjoy and could be possibly for sale (as well as the other chairs around the coffeeshop and common areas - you can actually ask the owners). The interiors are cozy and homey but are carefully and tastefully done. The rooms are very clean and the common areas are good place for working with colleagues or spending quality time with families. If you are not into the hustle and bustle of Baguio during peak season, you can do a grand staycation here.

It is a family-owned bed and breakfast. The hosts are very kind and easy to get along with. They are always on their toes to meet the needs of the guests. They are very knowledgeable about the culture and the place. If you happen to be a foodie, you can easily ask them about the good place for different types of food. They won't recommend a place just because of affiliation rather, they share the places they also enjoy visiting. These are genuine and generous people.

They also have a coffeeshop that can make some of the great tasting coffees that promote local bean and produce. They have home baked goods and delicious bread. The accommodation is also inclusive of sumptuous breakfast. The owner is making an effort to source the raw ingredients as local amd organic as it could be.

Guest Haven also offers events place for very private and small party and family gathering.

Overall, there is satisfaction and a bit of sepanx when your vacation is coming to an end.

Just a tip: book them ahead of time for they are fully booked most...

Guesthaven is one of those places that are a bit out of the way and therefore offer a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.|I deliberately do not want to talk about a bed and breakfast as this description would not do Guesthaven justice. |During our stay we experienced one of the best services that makes even the previously visited star hotels look old. |The staff is courteous and absolutely eager to serve and help.|All the photos found under the offer are authentic and the entire building indeed exudes a cosy rustic atmosphere. |Our personal highlights included the spacious and spotlessly clean room, the fan heater for colder rainy days and the wonderful view of the garden. |The cuisine offers excellent food which is a mix of Filipino and European dishes. |A menu always consists of 3 very varied courses. |Breakfast includes only one course, which changes daily, so you always start the day with a little culinary surprise. |The portions themselves are all of average size and always very lovingly prepared. |Unfortunately, the weather was very unfavourable for us (rainy season, foothills of a super typhoon), so there were three power cuts during our stay, but the staff brought us fully charged LED lamps within 3 minutes. |Finally, I would like to mention that we did not expect this level of luxury, service and hospitality from an ordinary bed and breakfast and were therefore all the more pleasantly surprised.|My honest recommendation: if you are looking for a quiet, stylish and luxurious accommodation close to the heart of Baguio, then I can only warmly recommend guesthaven bed and breakfast. |We would like to thank the whole team at guesthaven again for a wonderful and enjoyable time and look forward to seeing you...
