Baguio City Hotels Costs
Based on statistics, Baguio has 38 hotels, 6 resorts, plus 75 other lodging and retreat houses. These numbers do not include those private homes that let out rooms to supply the great demand for rooms in during peak months.
• A hotel, according to the Philippines' Department of Tourism, is a "building that is used for the reception, lodging or accommodation of a traveler or tourist." There are many accredited standard and economy hotels here with rooms that meet the requirement of at least '18 sqm in size.'
The rate for a standard room is about $90
• A resort is a place that offers "lodging, dining and recreational facilities, and is conducive to healthful relaxation." Exclusive Baguio Country Club and Camp John Hay Manor are examples of resort hotels in Baguio.
The rate for resorts ranges from $50 to $120. Cottages (7 persons) go for about $280.
• A tourist inn is one that "does not meet the (infrastructural) standards" (e.g. room size is less than 18 sqm) or provide the wide range of services of a hotel.
Twin share rooms would cost about $35 to $55
• A pension house is one with independent rooms, common facilities such as showers, cooking and dining.
Usually $10 to $20 per person
• Also very popular are those private vacation homes or "transient houses" that are let out as a whole or on a per room/person basis. The new buzzword for this is "homestay."
The rate per person is anywhere from $8 to $15, depending on the location, neighborhood and condition of the property.
