Vacation rentals in Sabtang

Great value for money and very near to the port. :) Thank you Joyce for a very warm welcome. We enjoyed our stay in Batanes because of the kind Ivatans. :)

I stayed here for 2 nights from January 15 to 17. I had volunteered as a photographer to an ordination of a friend and chose this place for its proximity to the Cathedral. I anticipated needing to go to the Cathedral several times so being close to the Cathedral would be a big help. Manang Necy's place is indeed very close to the Cathedral. Manang Necy's place is a 3-storey concrete structure. The ground floor is her residence. There is a separate entrance to the stairs that leads to the 2nd and 3rd floor. The walk up the stairs is a manageable climb. Reaching the top, there is a living space foyer that leads to the rooms and also to the kitchen, to the front balcony and another stairs leading to the 3rd floor. I occupied what is denominated as Room 1. I had access to the front balcony from the room and a front and side window. January being a cool month, I did not turn on the airconditioner and preferred to open the windows to take in fresh air. The windows are of the jalousies type, and have a wire mesh and an insect screen plus curtains which ensures privacy and protection from any insects. The room also has a wall mounted electric fan which I utilized to maintain a continuous circulation of new air. The room has a private toilet and bath with provision for a water heater for the shower. Using international standards, the bed would be classified as a double-sized bed which while comfortable for a single person may be a bit tight to comfortably fit two full sized adults. The common area outside the room has a table where one could take breakfast. Importantly, it has a filtered water dispenser with three options, water at room temperature, cold and hot. I did not use the kitchen but it is available if one wants to prepare and cook food. The host Manang Necy arranged for the airport transfers are also provided breakfast. Manang Necy's warmth and hospitality made my stay special and memorable. In addition to ensuring that I had what I needed for my stay, Manang Necy was an invaluable resource person for understanding many aspects of the way of life in Basco and Itbayat where she is from. On my first night, the ever solicitous Manang Necy asked if I had taken dinner and even accompanied and walked to to a nearby restaurant where I took a sumptuous dinner. She also arranged for me to meet a friend that helped me to better understand the minutiae of a bucolic and idyllic life in Batanes. Thank you Mananag Necy! In addition to being about 2 minutes walk to the Cathedral, the small grounds around Manang Necy's place is planted with many beautiful flowers. It was a delight to stand outside the balcony in the 2nd floor and take in all the beautiful flowers below. There is some road noise from the tricycles that intermittently passes by in front of the house but the tranquil and placid pace in Batanes plus the cool fresh air quickly lulled me to sleep. I would have no hesitation to return and stay at Manang Necy's place if I need to travel alone and stay close to the Cathedral and near the town center.

The place is near the plaza and Abad Street. Our room is facing the sea which has a nice view that includes a lighthouse. The place met our expectations :). The people are welcoming and nice. Also, instead of having tricycle as our airport transfer, we were given a van, which a plus for us since it was 6 of us who went to Batanes. Thank you, Kristine, Miss Eve and to our van driver :)

The place is well equipped and clean. The host, Joyce is very friendly and give quick responses when we asked questions. She is also very thoughtful to prepare us a meal when we couldn’t find restaurant for dinner. Recommended for others to stay

Kristine the host is amazing. she's very professional and good communicator. The owner of Neyala's hometel is wonderful. I highly recommend the place. Great place to stay!!! I will sure go back to the place.kuddos to the host and the owner!!

The place seems small in the photo but it fits 4 people and it didn't feel very crowded. The place is awesome and very clean. The hosts are very helpful and warm. The breakfast is great and not repetitive. We were lucky we got them since they're very popular and fully booked.

We had a lovely stay here and we felt very welcome. Wished we could've stayed longer than 5 days. We got help with everything and the staff were very friendly and sweet. The hotel is fresh, room was perfect and clean and location was good. I loved it and I love Batanes and it's people. Everybody were so kind. I recommend this place with all my heart ღ

My in-laws stayed in Room 1, while we stayed (with husband and daughter) in Room 3. Rose and her family made sure that they're available any time of the day in case we needed something. Her dad met us at the airport upon arrival and drove the tricycle going to their place. Breakfast was waiting when we arrived. Even before the trip, Kristine was prompt and patient in answering our questions. :) We got two of the three rooms and there were no guests in the 3rd room so we had the place to ourselves. Common living area had cable tv and husband was even able to watch an NBA game. Only thing though, cellular signal for both Smart and Globe is quite intermittent. There were good nights, and then there were times when we could barely send SMS. But it was ok because we somehow already expected that signal would be spotty in most parts of Batanes. :)
