The best accommodations Batad

Beautiful view of the rice fields from the restaurant and deck (which appears to be in constant construction). The 16 rooms are spartan, but one in the other perhaps better than at the Hill Side Inn (opposite for common health). Hot water at 50 P. Popular with foreign travellers.

The owners, he is a woodcarver (absolutely superb ebony works), she is a teacher at the local school. They know a lot about the region! They have a restaurant in which they propose varied and very good dishes. The eight rooms are rudimentary and decent. The sanitary facilities are... basic (as everywhere in Batad). Organization of treks. Excellent price for an excellent address which offers a breathtaking view on the rice fields.

Rooms offering exceptional panoramas on the rice fields, it is again the big point. They are very basic and in general, there is no hot water (usual thing in the region). The restaurant area has an equally beautiful view and the food is good. In the high season, guitar is sometimes played on the veranda. It is a good place to sleep after a trek, even if the prices are a bit high compared to other pensions.

In the heart of Batad village, a charming guesthouse with basic but comfortable rooms and decent sanitary facilities (not always with hot water but like everywhere in Batad). The food is very good (we recommend the vegetable chopsuey with local rice of course) and the view from the terrace on the first floor is simply incredible of beauty and tranquility. Don't hesitate to stop there just to eat. On top of that, you can visit a native house and even make your own rice, a great experience!

Just below Batad Pension, very rudimentary rooms in traditional huts (without electricity). One of them is a real museum of ifugao art (with skulls of animals including monkeys, rabbits, deer and wild boars): it was the house of Ramon's grandfather more than a century ago. The food is very good. Ramon is one of the village elders, so he is well respected and has a lot to teach you. A good place to have a 100% local experience. Price is right.
