"Pros: Host provided video instructions on self check-in and other instructions on garbage segregation and Baguio regulations. So before arriving we were sufficiently prepared. The apartment is located in a quiet part of the city, in a residential area that is quite high up in the mountains. It appeared to be a safe and peaceful neighborhood. The house was impeccable and clean. The beddings and blankets were clean and freshly laundered. The kitchen was well equipped. We cooked most of our meals using the host's stove and utensils. There was a complete set of plates, bowls and flatware. The host even provided a full bottle of dishwashing liquid and a clean sponge. There was adequate potable water for cooking and drinking. The car port is big enough to accommodate two vehicles. The host was gracious and communicated often to ask how we were doing and if we needed assistance. The bathrooms are equipped with water heaters and had good pressure because the host and caretaker make sure their water tank is full all the time. You will hardly notice that water is rationed throughout the city on different days. Over all a very restful and hassle-free stay. Cons: The terrain of Baguio in some residential areas is really a bit tough because obviously, it's located in the mountains. We were fortunate to have an experienced and very skilled driver. The place is accessible by taxi so those who commute can go in and out of the subdivision even without a personal car. I saw many taxis passing by the house. It's not close to touristy areas but I prefer that. Traffic into the city center can be quite heavy so make sure you leave early. Be mindful Baguio has a number coding scheme. The host gave us all the info we needed to make sure we didn't go to the city center within the prohibited hours." ~Francelyn

"Pros: Feels like we stayed in our own house, the owner of the place so welcoming upon our arrival to the place. During evening time the place so quiet that we rest well our overnight stayed, affordable for family or group of friends. Free wifi, television, kitchen ware, refrigerator for raw foods, two toilets with both hot shower, one parking space for our service van." ~Chris

"Pros: Our stay at Backpackers hostel and transient house was truly exceptional! The rooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Special mention to the owner, Shu and his staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The amenities, including complete kitchen were a real bonus and made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Backpackers hostel and transient house to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay in Baguio, Benguet. The place is 5minutes drive to BenCab Museum. We were 16pax and we were all accommodated by the rooms and bed." ~Mark
