Banaue Accommodation: Banaue View Inn

Banaue View Inn certainly lives up to its name. Located right above the main road, it offers a great view of the small town of Banaue as well as the famed rice terraces. You can even see a waterfall in the distance. Nevermind the steep pathway leading towards the inn. Afterall, waking up with the rice terraces as your view is priceless.

Breakfast (Php 150) may be served at the dining area (with a view of the terraces) or packed for when you start early with your tours. The marketplace and local eateries are just a short walk away if you want options in your diet. Internet shops are also closeby if you need to stay in touch with your social network friends.

 

They have simple and basic but clean accommodation. Perfect for the no frills kind.

Room Rates:

Fan Room - Php 900/night (good for 2 persons)
check out is at 12nn, extension - Php 200

 VERDICT:

Good: great view. en suite bathroom. affordable. clean. screened windows. shower has hot water.
Bad: steep pathway may not be for those with bad knees. only serve breakfast. small and very low mirror (you have to sit on the chair or stoop really low).
