Wanay's Rocky Mountain Homestay

Ambience and strategic location for viewing

Some staff are not approachable

The road is quietly tough from beginning, the google maps give us hard time to reach the hotel. We end up to get another route to reach the hotel.

The room space is normal nothing special, but need to improve the insulation of the room. They need to improve the noise deadening/ sound proofing.

The staff!!!! They helped us plan our itinerary and help us out with rides around the city. This really helped because the grand don’t seem to like to come out that far. Their food is amazing and the view is stunning. Amazing place to stay!

To no fault of the home stay, there are a lot of dogs and chickens surrounding the building and can be loud at night but so is everywhere else outside the city.

Mountain-top views of La Trinidad city in the valley below, as well as (currently) undeveloped land with Carabao. Hosts were friendly and enjoy interacting with their guests. Good hospitality and made you feel welcome. They even invited all guests to a free dispededa dinner celebration outside at their porch eating area. Relatively quiet and relaxed atmosphere, unless someone is singing karaoke or construction is occurring on the roads or houses that are being built in the surrounding area. Free Wifi was one of the only bonuses.

Location is remote on a mountain top, which means it is about a 20~30 minute ride one way through tight mountain-town streets to get there or back to Baguio city. This also means that if you're taking a taxi or grab, some drivers may decide part of the way up the mountain that they don't want to complete the trip, and take you back to your original pickup point. If taking a grab, you may also find that drivers will scarcely accept the ride from the top of the mountain, which lead to us waiting almost 30 minutes before a driver that was nearby accepted our ride. We booked a room specifically with a mountain view, but when we arrived, they tried to give us a room with a window facing a rock wall (zero visibility of anything but the rock), saying that they prioritize walk-in bookings, and they had a walk-in who booked the room with the mountain view before we had arrived at the correct check-in time. They tried to sell us an upgraded room that would be twice the price, but we had booked the original room with the budget of that room in mind. After my (filipina) girlfriend spoke with them and requested a room with a mountain view because we had booked that in advance for that reason, also mentioning that other hotels had given us free upgrades when there was an issue of the hotel's fault, they then offered to let us stay in an upgraded room for one night at no additional charge until the walk-in guest left the next day, then they would move us back into our originally booked room. In the end, they let us stay in the upgraded room for both nights of our stay, at the originally booked lower rate, but they didn't communicate this to us during the stay, so we spent most of the 2nd day with our bags repacked and waiting for them to move us, instead of being able to relax and enjoy the day.
