Irene did a great job accommodating our needs and showing us hospitality. I liked Transient house because it seems the best balance between all criteria - value, service... but also elevation: it is located high enuf to give great views but not too far from valley/ village. We got to go to a wedding while we were here. Very cool!

Batad Rice Terraces is a must see, but have to be physically fit for it is very steep, high, narrow and very very long walk. But once you overcome the almost 1 hour walk with rest, it is worth to see the place. Definitely, get a guide and a stick to go with you. The owner of the place gave an excellent service.

Felt very pushed

It was an alright stay. However the owner was pushy on us having a tour guide despite it being relatively easy to find your own way around with simple instructions she could have easily given. Also On the way down to the place we stopped for lunch at a home stay that we passed on the way down. When we arrived the owner got upset we didn't eat at their place for lunch. I feel like if you're not spending money at their hotel for breakfast lunch and dinner they get upset. I was a bit put off by this. Also we were made to check out at 10 AM not by the owner but another lady even though it said noon is check out. Also on second day found mouse feces on bed sheet. Also watch out for young peeping boys who watch you when using the toilet.

Very primitive

We ordered two nights here, but stayed only one. We had a small room with bunkbeds. It was very cold in the evening and night and we only got some thin, synthetic blankets with no cover. Very low standard of clinliness. The hostess had a little boy, who was left alone most of the time, spilling milk and peeing on the floor, and it was not cleaned.

Batad Transient Home has a truly breathtaking view over the rice terraces of Batad - i loved staying there. The rooms are simple and clean, the host is really nice and helpful - food & drinks were fine too. Remember that you're in the middle of nature there and that no road leads all the way to the houses/homestays of batad - when you consider this, it is truly amazing how all things - food, drinks etc are carried there by foot to make it an awesome stay for guests.

This homestay has the most jaw-dropping, spectacular view of the Batad rice terraces from its restaurant! This placed offered basic accommodations, so do not expect too much in that regard. Thy have one restaurant with about 4-5 tables that you can hang at and 2 communal bathrooms/showers. You will probably get all your meals at this place; they are very good! They have Filipino food and American food. Make sure to place your order for meals ahead of time, otherwise you may be waiting longer than expected. We stayed in the "Nipa hut", which had its own outdoor toilet/cold shower nearby. It got kind of cold at night, so you may want to request more blankets. The way to flush the toilets is to pour water down. Irene, who checked us in, was very nice and we hired her mom as a tour guide for a roundtrip hike through the beautiful rice terraces to the Tappiyah waterfalls. Definitely recommend; she didn’t speak much English, but she was patient and an expert at navigating. For check-in: we arrived around 4pm and it seemed that there was no one to check us in at the desk. An employee saw our group and informed us that someone would be with us soon. We were fine to wait around and admire the view; be patient with service :) Getting there was a 20-30 minute track downhill on a narrow path and steep steps from the Saddle. Definitely not for the faint of heart. I'd recommend packing light and use only a large/ backpacker's backpack! Thanks Irene and family, we had a wonderful time!

La vue magnifique et panoramique sur les rizières; Pour le reste confort plus que minimaliste, repas très simple pas de grand choix et cher... hygiène douteuse dans les 2 Sdb de l’etablissement; Etablissement situé à 20 mn de l’arret Des véhicules c’est quand même sport... surtout la montée;

Batad Transient House was a great stay. My family staid in the nipa hut, which was a new experience that none of us ever had. The view from the transient house was spectacular. It’s so peaceful and breath taking. I love that there are no vehicles or machinery. The staff are wonderful. They make you feel welcome and comfortable. The food is great. The grilled chicken and rice is out of this world. The rice is from the batad terraces, and only for consumption in the village. It tastes great. Faith was our tour guide through rice terraces. She was wonderful and patient with us. She gave an excellent tour. The tour is also breathtaking with the views, and physical breath taking too. We highly recommend the Batad Transient House house and batad. Be advised that it is very physical but worth the time energy and sweat.

Grosse déception , a éviter ..

Faire plus simple c’est impossible Chambre !!! Un lit rien d’autre ,une Couverture, pas de simple placard ,´ pas de table , pas de chaise.., les wc communs, La cuvette tellement petite que personne ne peut s’asseoir, on marche dans le pipi de tout le monde, un lavabo pour tous dans la salle ou l’on mange Pas de prise de courant dans les chambres une seule par étage !!! Bref rien aucune recherche même simple d’aménagement...aucune idée.. Les repas fait sans goût... Le site ...ne justifie pas la galère pour arriver à Batad.....12 h de trajet..car et route pourri, finir le chemin à pied....tres difficile d’accès, en plus météo pourrie, très dangereux de partir sans guide Bref il y a mieux à faire dans le monde,
