Batad View Inn and Restaurant

Ce qu’on retiens le plus de cet établissement ? La vue ! Elle est littéralement à couper le souffle ! En dehors de ça, les gérants et le personnel sont vraiment adorables ! Le confort est sommaire mais il y a tout ce qui faut ! Enfaite je m’y suis sentie vraiment bien, c’était tellement conviviale que je m’y suis sentie comme chez moi. J’ai vraiment bien dormi ! Et la vue au réveil … incroyable Seul bémol, pas de wifi et Batad est en zone blanche ..

My wife and I stayed here for a night during our trip through Banaue. The pictures are just as advertised with magnificent views of the Rice terraces and the village. First off everyone should know, is that Batad is about 40 minutes from Banaue town proper bus stop. A tricycle costs about 700 pesos one way from what we checked as the jeepneys only leave in the late afternoon when full. Once you reach the Batad drop off point, you need to walk 20 - 25 minutes downhill along the trail to reach the accommodation. Along the way you pay the 50 peso environmental fee. Remember there is no mobile signal in Batad (Smart or Globe). Your last point would be up on the Batad Saddle before you ride down to the drop off point. The room itself we got was the double room for 700 P. It is basic but that's what you expect. It had a double bed, a single bed and 2 power outlets. There is no fan and the shower/toilet is shared (towels are provided). The interiors are clean and well maintained. The view from your window has to be the highlight. The restaurant is just below the Inn and is part of Ramon Homestay. The meals are good and all priced at 185 pesos (a bit pricey but again think about the location and the difficulty in getting supplies). Everything on the menu may not be available. It looks like they used ti have cultural shows pre-pandemic however this was not operational at the time. Overall a great stay. Peaceful, disconnected and a great view to go with it. Would definitely recommend.
