Bed & Breakfast in Tagaytay City

Have been traveling throughout SE Asia for the past month and a half and have stayed in a variety of hotels, but this place takes last place so far. Upon checking in, we were shown to a room with a kitchenette - Room E (not that we needed it, but that's all that was available when booked). There was a fridge, a microwave and a sink and not much else. Plenty of cabinet and counter top space, but no way to cook anything. Not sure why they were so excited about the kitchenette. It was a nice sized room, but the smell of urine and sewage from the bathroom was overwhelming. Really tried to deal with it, but when the wi-fi wasn't working, had to inform the front desk agent. She came to the room and agreed it smelled bad and immediately moved us to another room by the front entrance - Room B, which we appreciated. Wifi worked there also as we were so close to the front desk. Only issue was we had to move to a different room after 2 nights as Room B was booked. No biggie. We moved to Room H (I think) which is further down the hill and one of two rooms directly below a very nice look out pavilion. The room was much cleaner than our original room and smelled as though they used a gallon of bleach to clean the bathroom so we opened the front door and the balcony door to air it out. Front desk brought a wifi box for us, but it only worked occasionally. The water pressure was terrible in the bathroom sink and the shower and the water temperature in the shower changed from hot to cold to hot no matter what setting you had it on. Quite the showering experience. The wall between this room and the one next door was so thin, we could hear the conversations in the next room. Further, whoever decided to build two guest rooms under the lookout pavilion needs to be fired. Guests were going up there at 6am and running around with kids and created so much noise, we had to go out and ask them to be considerate of those sleeping. There was also construction noise at 10pm on a Saturday evening - drilling and hammering - appears some kind of a new structure was being built just down the hill. Perhaps construction could be done during daytime hours?? At check out, we were quite surprised to learn we were charged 50 pesos for a bucket of ice. Not too worried about the 50 pesos, but being told there was a small charge would have been appropriate at the time of ordering. The agent at check out seemed to care less about it and continued to press for final payment. The views are also not quite as advertised. While you CAN see the Lake, it would be best described as a ”partial view”. Overall, not very satisfied. Most staff seemed to try their best to make guests feel welcome and I'm sure many of the issues are a result of ownership or management decisions. Sad because this place could be a lot better. Will stay elsewhere in the future.

Dies ist eine gute Option, wenn Sie aus Hotels oder anderen BnBs in Tagaytay auslaufen. Ich liebe ihre Zimmer. Ich denke, sie sind neu renoviert, geräumig, kalt und sauber. Auch ihre Badezimmer sind gerade richtig. Komplett mit Zahnbürsten-Kits, Seifen und Shampoos. Mit kalten und heißen Duschen. Großes Essen, obwohl ich wirklich wünsche, dass sie ihre Menüs ausweiten würden, so dass die Gäste mehr Wahlen haben. Vor allem waren ihre Mitarbeiter so hilfreich und untergebracht. Sehr warm und effizient. Parkplatz ist ein weiterer Punkt, den ich hoffe, sie können sich verbessern. Und ich hoffe, sie können sich auf ihrem WiFi verbessern. Aber im Allgemeinen ist dies eine tolle Alternative Tagaytay-Treffen. Sehr empfohlen!
