Latest Banaue hotel reviews
Favorite thing: No problem. We went to Banaue last December 20, 2008. Its a peak season because of the Holidays.
Yup. Its a tiring hike. Lots of cemented stairs. Each stairs are really high. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Rubber shoes is ok and strap outdoor sandals like tribo. Either shorts or pants will do. The way is clear. You will not have problems with the grass blades.
Tappiyah falls is 200m away from batad rice terraces. You can take a dip at Tappiyah falls. BUT the water is very cold (for me) and the current is strong you cant go in or near the falls. As to the depth, sorry i forgot to ask. I just made splashes in my body. so refrshing! You can wear swimwears underneath your clothes. There is no comfort room/ dressing room at Tappiyah but there is at most of the restaurants in Batad.

Favorite thing: There is a small tourist information up by the bus station next to the Banaue hotel.
The place did not have much in the way of brochures when i was there, but the guy at the office was very helpful and pointed out some very good hiking trails for me, so paying a visit there was certainly a good idea.

Favorite thing: Situated in the centre of the town. It is quite a bare offices with a couple of tables and chairs. Not much of information are available here. Sometimes the attendant/officer is not in sight. A couple of free copies of brochures on "Explore Banaue" for you to pick up.

Favorite thing: When traveling between Bontoc and Banaue, the driver will make a couple stops at small remote villages for you to use the washrooms. Some "toilets" are placed at the back of the shop, very near to the edge of the cliff and there's basically no holes or pots except a concrete ridge dugged for the urine to flow downwards the cliff. It's communal type - no doors but an enclosure with open top.... pretty airy, isn't it ....
Note: Best to roll up your long pants when visiting it ...

Favorite thing: In the middle of town is a small tourist information center. They can help you hikes, tours, guest houses or hotels. Good place to get your bearings.
Located on the main street of Banaue, near the Sanfe Lodge.
