Amazing hotel!!! It is sparkling clean, super friendly and helpful staff, and great breakfast! It's not on the beach, but is convenient enough to get anywhere by trike. For those who want a "home-away-from-home" while traveling, I highly recommend it! I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay for more days!

It was an over all comfy stay! The A/C works well. The beds were comfy and clean. We had a hot/cold shower. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

This small Hotel is okay, breakfast is not bad too. For the price and service that definitely worthy of the money you spend , can’t complain. Will return again.

This is a nice hotel. The staff are very friendly and help if you need it. The included breakfast is good. It’s a good option if you want to save money by not staying in San Juan. I would recommend it. The main improvement would be access to free water. Otherwise no complaints.

The Balay is a very homely place built in traditional Philippines style, so it’s airy, cool and peaceful. Staff are lovely - very helpful. It’s basic but very good value for the money and will give a flavour of Philippines life. Easy access to many local attractions, such as the town plaza, the Halo-halo Iloko eatery. Tricycles will take you anywhere you want to go. Parking is available on the courtyard to the hotel. Free breakfast on the roof!

The place is very clean and homey. Plated breakfast being served tastes good and had enough serving. Staffs are very helpful, and works with integrity, especially when I left my ring in the room during check out.
No fridge, television, and hair dryer. But there are electric kettle, mugs, glasses, bath towels, and toiletries provided. They also got strong WIFI connection.
This is not a typical hotel set up where you could expect that someone would assist you at anytime. So manage your expectation especially when coming back late from outside, as you need to use the door bell for the caretaker to open the main gate for you. Not an issue for us at all since the caretaker is attentive enough to assist. There is a limited parking space inside the yard but I think there are available space nearby for rent.
The only improvement to ask would be to install thicker curtains for better privacy and a more relaxed experience as it can block lighting and noise from the outside.
I would definitely go back to this place. Thank you!

The staff are reall nice and helpful. The place is clean and location is also good. One thing is that they don't have inside slippers available.
Thank you, our stay was a pleasant one. Till next time
