Batad Pension and Restaurant

Batad is definitely worth visiting, and this is a great place to stay thanks to its location close to the vehicle drop-off point and the beautiful views over the rice fields. The family running the place is very kind and caring, and they do their best to accommodate guests’ requests. It’s important to keep in mind where you are and how limited resources are in the area, so it’s not a place to be overly demanding. Th…

We had a great stay, and everything was easy from the booking process to communication, no hassle at all. The food was a highlight. Everything we tried was delicious and reasonably priced. You can also ask them to prepare packed lunches for your tours. They also helped arrange our transfers to and from Banaue since public transport can be a bit tricky in the area. Since it wasn’t peak season, they even let us check…

Thank you Michelle and family! My friends and I had an incredible (and unfortunately short) one night stay here in Batad and we couldn't praise the Pension enough!! We booked through Airbnb and the price was incredibly reasonable for 4 people. Food and drinks are available on site and the service was helpful and lovely - you won't regret it! If you're expecting a flash hotel experience, please adjust your expectatio…

4 stars for location but not because it was not good. The location is so good! However, if you are not physically fit, you will definitely struggle going to the pension.

The owners are very accommodating even when there are so many visitors from time to time. I hop…

Elmer and his sister Michelle provided us with a great stay. The rooms were clean and the bed comfy, the food in the restaurant was delicious. The guided tour of the village from Elmer was awesome.

We didn’t stay here since the rooms were a little too small for us, but that was understandable given the rates. However, the food was FANTASTIC! It was a complete meal—protein, fiber, and carbs—Batad rice 🍚 and a complimentary, delicious noodle soup (perfect for the cold weather). YUM! And all for a very affordable price! With the breathtaking view from the restaurant, this was probably one of the best lunches I’ve…

We had a great time at the Pension. The place is very peaceful, the view is awesome and the staff is really helpful. We stayed 4 nights and relaxed there, disconnected (the internet is not very good and there are some power cuts) and went for some beautiful hikes. The rooms are very simple but quite comfortable. Please remember to be gentle with your expectations of confort, as there is no road going directly to Bat…
