"I want to note that this review revolves around value-for-money. If this place cost USD 30-50/night there would be (almost) no complaints, but when you charge USD 100/night you have to let yourself be held to a higher standard.
Also the staff were very kind and helpful and are the highlight of this place. My only beef is with the owners here.
The pictures for the Deluxe Double room show a big balcony with two nice reclining chairs. I got a tiny dirty balcony with a single cheap plastic chair, that wasn’t even private (there was a second door from the common area to the balcony).
The room (in particular the bathroom) isn’t well maintained or cleaned (see pics). One of the lights kept flickering and the other one kept going on and off 24/7.
On the last two days of my stay they were doing some renovations on the house. They started at 7am and 7.30am respectively. In my opinion 10am should be the earliest that is acceptable at a hotel and you should notify your guests in advance (ideally before they arrive, but at least the night before).
Lastly there’s a coffee machine in the kitchen they showed me when I arrived. I was under the impression that the coffee would be complimentary, but upon check out I was presented with a bill for four coffees consumed.
Again, all-in-all not worth the money. There are better and/or cheaper places on Batanes (and yes I appreciate that it’s more expensive here than other parts of the Philippines, but this still holds)."
"When you have travelled a fair but in the world, you need to remind yourself that you are here in the province and that mostly locals travel to Batanes and that you pay not much for the accommodation and for this is was a Good 👍 experience. But the cleanliness of the property could improve as everywhere has been dust on the floor and the shower cabin was full a chalk. As I am a vegetarian there was not much to eat for me on the menu but my partner did enjoy the selections. But all team members have been kind and friendly and tried to help As much as they could"
"Staff were very accommodating & very nice too . Clean rooms & super fresh dinner menu . Though the menu is limited, the Chef was flexible & gave us options based on availability. They could expand on beverage selections & keep on hand stock . WiFi was excellent. Pool was very clean .
The owners were extremely wonderful. The hotel is a great place to stay & i will return & stay there again . We had breakfast at the roof top & we also watch the stunning sunsets there . Truly a beautiful place to stay . We stayed 3 nights and I have no complains . Thank you Dive Batanes Lodge & Restaurant."
"This was a simple inexpensive hotel in the downtown area of Basco which made it very convenient to walking around and various dining places. The hosts were marvelous, with pick up and drop off to the airport. On a few occasions when it was raining, the owner, Bert Baletin, dropped us at a Restuarant and came and picked us later. The place was super clean and had a roof top that made great sightseeing for evening sunsets. "
