We visited this place as a couple and highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in a native hut with breathtaking views of the rice terraces. The experience is truly unparalleled, providing a sense of serenity that is hard to find elsewhere. The owner and staff are incredibly hospitable and friendly, ensuring that our every need was met. As such, the bathrooms may not be fancy, but they are clean and tidy. The food was also delicious, adding to the overall experience. It's important to keep in mind that this is a place to experience living in the area, rather than an extravagant stay.
We had an amazing stay, yes they have sharing showers and toilets, but it didn't disturb us, because the staffs always make sure it was clean everytime. We love also the spectacular over looking views around especially while having breakfast it was perfect.
The breakfast food was excellent
Same for lunch and dinner
Maybe just missing some hammock or duyan.
Overall our stay was fantastic.
Some advice if you are searching some places in Banaue sometimes better to use Waze not Maps.
And if you are staying in Native village inn I suggest you to have private vehicle or to rent mother bike.
As it is out of Banaue center for moving around it is easier to have private vehicle.
And I really highly recommend Native village inn worth it to stay while visiting Around Banaue.
We will come back again for sure with Family and friends

The views make this hotel! (See pictures.) Very welcoming staff and traditional style ‘home’ rooms- wooden huts on raised legs with only a bed inside. If you’re ok with the basic style of life, this really is an impressive place and I’d highly recommend it. Ordering a fresh mango smoothie and looking over the rice fields was perfection.|Showers and bathrooms are separate and communal, but that’s fine- I was amazed that the shower was hot. There was only one other couple there when we stayed, so very peaceful and remote.|There’s a range of food, all home cooked especially for you. When ordering the curry they ask about spice levels so it feels very personal!||Great place, worth going 👌🏻
Hotel guests oftentimes talk about a hotel's modern luxuries and amenities. Native Village Inn is the exact opposite. You will experience a unique stay at one of their native Ifugao huts and will be amazed at the wonderful nature surrounding you. The place is magical and transports you to a different world. The huts are native-inspired and will require you to climb a few steps. The inside of each hut is spartan but very comfortable. ||The staff are very friendly. The food is great and you can be assured that they are made only when you order. ||The view of the world famous rice terraces is spectacular and you will find your self spending a lot of time marveling at the 8th wonder of the world.
I just spent 2 days in Banaue and really enjoyed every moment when staying here. The first day I had a trek to Batad rice terrace and Tappiya waterfall (very tired but worthy), the other day mainly took rest in my cottage. If you prefer something natural with mountains, flowers, rice fields around and even whisper from insects during sleep at night ^.^ >> Uhaj native village will be one of the best. The owner and staff offered great service, they were all nice and responsive. Beautiful view, clean area and quiet place, I love them. Food is quite okay, actually I don't like Filipino or Western food much but it doesn't matter.||I had some interesting talks with the owner Mr.Graham about countries, people... while taking some tea + fruits in the morning. If you wake up early, you may see cloud floating very near to you, feel like you can touch it. I tried to hale in cool, fresh air as much as I can before coming back to Manila.||Thanks for giving me meaningful time in Banaue. Hope to be back one day
As planned, we wanted some kind of immersion, and NVI was truly a great ifugao experience. Stayed at the hut facing the terraces was truly magical, forget about the hotel standards. The sound of silence made as asleep for longer undisturbed hours and that relaxed our minds totally plus the cool breeze approximately @ 21 degrees was just perfect this summer. Deep breathe inhaling and exhaling surrounded by floras that emit oxygen, its simply wow. We can survive just lazying around for hours, days at the lodge. if we could just stop the clock from ticking and extend the days beyond 24hours. Thanks to the owner, Ms Monina for those wonderful chitchats even if we felt you were tired already. for accommodating our small many wants, the pillows, for cooking the food we wanted, not listed on the menu list, for the staff who wear smiles always especially Merliza.We admire the cleanliness of CRs, shower rooms and the surroundings were kept maintained. We appreciate the safety reminders to protect us. To Elvis and Benjie, you are the perfect tour guides kept us safe, educated and entertained.Looking forward meeting you Mr.Graham. Thanks for representing Filipino hospitality well to Foreign guests. Hope to come back soon.
We just came back from lunch at Native Village Inn. I highly recommend this place because of the expansive view of the terraces from one of their dining huts.|The cook was out when we got there but we asked the attendants to cook us whatever was available. They were very nice and accommodating. The food was average but it was ok. |The restroom was also very clean.|The drive going there was scenic, and through cemented roads. The stone paved path going up the resto seemed scary initially but it really wasn’t. Overall a great experience!|Posted here the hut where we had lunch and the view from the hut.
We've been here 8 years ago and the place is still highly recommended. With it's very friendly and hospitable people and a very nice and relaxing place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, I will not get tired going back again and again. Despite the long travel hours, it's worth it. Congrats Native Village Inn staff! God bless you all! Views from our native hut.
Native Village Inn is an amazing place. It gives you an extraordinary experience of sleeping in native Philippino houses in probably the most beautiful view that I have ever seen in any hotel. Staff is super helpful and friendly. In the restaurant you can have really amazing food and just rest after whole day talking with guides, ant petting extremely friendly dog :) ||Great place, really worth to stay there if you had an occasion!
the staff are friendly/accomodating...the food are generally great...filipino breakfast need a lot of improvement soecially the brand of corned beef they are using considering the price.
btw the place itself is magnificent specially the native hut/haus u would be sleeping.
also it would be great if they can provide a drivers quarter since they dont provide one its sad that iur driver have to return to the town proper which is quite far.
