Stayed in December 2018.||||It was raining the day I arrived Banaue, my husband wasn't able to join me and I was separated to my friends who are on the other accommodation (Liwang) so I was alone when I got to Native Village Inn. A young boy, Marvin, picked me up at the station and was very accommodating to take me to the ATM, buy raincoat, and waited for me and my friends to have breakfast first. I thought I will see Marvin again for the tours so I wasn't able to thank him enough, was even planning to give him a tip but I never saw him again :( ||||Anyway, I didn't see or meet Graham at all, but the lovely woman (I suppose she's the wife or the mum) and the girls over there were very helpful and attentive to me and to my friends who visited me there to have dinner and breakfast the next day. ||||The huts are not too far from each other and very minimal walk up (unlike in Liwang) so I feel secured and cozy even if I was just alone in my hut. The toilets and bathrooms are always clean and love the hot shower even late at night! ||||The food are great but very small portion for someone who trekked the whole day, so order more if you are famished. ||||Overall, it is a great experience despite the rain, when the fog cleared out, it was a...

Read moreAs planned, we wanted some kind of immersion, and NVI was truly a great ifugao experience. Stayed at the hut facing the terraces was truly magical, forget about the hotel standards. The sound of silence made as asleep for longer undisturbed hours and that relaxed our minds totally plus the cool breeze approximately @ 21 degrees was just perfect this summer. Deep breathe inhaling and exhaling surrounded by floras that emit oxygen, its simply wow. We can survive just lazying around for hours, days at the lodge. if we could just stop the clock from ticking and extend the days beyond 24hours. Thanks to the owner, Ms Monina for those wonderful chitchats even if we felt you were tired already. for accommodating our small many wants, the pillows, for cooking the food we wanted, not listed on the menu list, for the staff who wear smiles always especially Merliza.We admire the cleanliness of CRs, shower rooms and the surroundings were kept maintained. We appreciate the safety reminders to protect us. To Elvis and Benjie, you are the perfect tour guides kept us safe, educated and entertained.Looking forward meeting you Mr.Graham. Thanks for representing Filipino hospitality well to Foreign guests. Hope to...
