BANAUE GREENFIELDS AND RESTAURANT — Hotel in Banaue

This is a small family-run building with a place to eat and rooms with absolutely spectacular views. The manager is extremely knowledgeable about the history and the culture of the area. You definitely want her as your guide. There's hot water available in showers, the rooms are not air conditioned however the elevation is nearly 6,000 ft so with the windows open it a pleasant temperature for sleeping. The folks that operate this establishment will prepare meals off of a menu however they don't always have everything available that's listed so you have to be a bit flexible but they're happy to do it and the food is great. The only drawback is the owner's phone number and contact information is listed on the booking site and he never answers because he's not in the area and works full time coupled with spotty cell service. I highly recommend this establishment and the surrounding countryside. Be prepared to do a bit of hiking and a car or arranged transportation is a must. Spend a least two days here. It was my favorite trip to the...

Take note, as of late April 2023 there's no WiFi. Aside from that, this place is fantastic. The location overlooks some local rice terraces and is the perfect view to accompany the homemade food you can order.

For most hours of the day you can just head downstairs and order something. Might take 40 minutes or so to prepare, but it's always tasty. The bed and shower are nothing to brag about, but they're perfectly acceptable.

The owner, Albina (Bin Bin), is a kind woman who's ready to help with anything, and the rest of the staff are also excellent. One youmg woman who worked temporarily during our stay, Alyssa, had the best energy and can-do attitude. I hope future guests get to meet her too.

At night, you'll hear the dogs taking over the town. It's hilarious and starts up around 9pm, but it'll never be so much that you can't sleep. They calm down eventually anyways. There are also some very good dogs that live...

Positive: They allowed us to cook most of our meals for a minimal corkage fee (P150). We brought our portable stove and cooking breakfast on the veranda was fun while watching the sun rising from the mountain. Though they run a restaurant that would easily cater to in-house and walk-in guests, we have prepared some food initially intended for camping and cook-out. The room was big and spacious despite having 2 big double-decker beds. Room also was a lot better compared to the published picture of the property. Lastly, everyone in Banaue was extra friendly. Instantly befriended an accountant-white-guy Mike. Siblings Uly and Diana who run the place have a very pleasing personality.. Negative: Would have been better if the room has its own...
