The hotel was brilliant although, so new it's still under construction. Incredible views. Electronic toilets are a little too clever for their own good as the lid automatically closes before you finish, but a cool novelty all the same.

Everything was great. The accommodation was very clean. We arrived late, and the host still waited for us. There were toothbrushes and towels provided. The lady was very kind.

Staying at Vilma's was the highlight of my trip in the Philippines. I did not find the location difficult to reach as the locals in Bontoc showed me where I could find the jeepney to Maligcong (just in front of Pines Kitchenette and Inn) which took no more than 30 minutes to arrive right in front of the homestay, just expect to wait until it gets full to leave and be aware that there are no jeepneys after 4-5pm. I think it's better not to be in a rush to enjoy the tranquility, authenticity of the area and the friendliness of the locals. The room was comfortable and super clean, as well as the common areas (indoor/outdoor) and bathrooms/toilets. Vilma is truly kind and thoughtful and will make sure you have enough coffee/herbal tea when you are around. I really enjoyed being able to have my meals with her and her family for a small extra. The presence of dogs and cats was also great fun. If you enjoy walking, it's possible to climb Mt Kupapey (beautiful sunrise), Mt Fato and to walk along the beautiful rice fields to reach nearby villages (eg Favarey). I am very grateful I could meet this lovely local family and found this authentic and beautiful countryside area. If you are not demanding, are open minded, adaptable and truly enjoy tranquility, nature and authenticity, then I would highly recommend staying here.
