Hi JC & Family, how I wish your group had better weather for your Baguio tour! But it was great to see the rain did not dampen your spirits! Yes the Wi-Fi is pretty good I must say and nice that you noticed too. Strong and reliable Wi-Fi is super important for our business and also for our guests! Each one of the apartments has its own dedicated router, so signal is going to be good where ever you are.

Thanks also for your kind words about Willy, all of our drivers are just such nice guys, smooth drivers, patient and knowledgeable about Baguio, Sagada, Banaue & Ilocos Norte. I will surely pass on your comments to Willy ( He is the front runner now for "Driver of the Month" Thanks again to all of your Family and hopefully next time we see you the skies will be blue from morning to night!. Best wishes from Peter, Jhoie and Staff.

“Good Value for the money" 

We took the whole package that includes the van and the accommodation. Peter met us on time at NAIA airport and brought us to Baguio. We had the Starex Limousine and it was very comfortable for all 7 of us. He is very warm and friendly not to mention a very knowledgeable in everything Baguio. He provides us many options and take us anywhere we want to go.

The apartment was good,& functional. It has all the amenities and feels like home away from home. It is located on a very private and quiet area and is gated with cctv. We stayed 2 nights. The only complain I have is the length of the bed, I am only 5 ft 8 inches tall but my head touches the wall while my feet also touches the edge of the bed. Overall, this is a good value for the money. If you are looking for a hassle-free Baguio vacation, this is it! We'll surely recommend them!Ease of bookingDirections to the propertyKey pickup/access to the propertyOverall conditionQuality of bedding/mattressesKitchen/utensils qualityCleanliness of bathroomQuality of facilities/amenitiesServiceLiked best: Location

Hi, thanks for your review. So glad that your big group enjoyed your time in Baguio and your stay in our apartments & that you all felt relaxed and comfortable. Jhoie and I always love to know that guests felt that way. Best wishes from us, Peter & Jhoie.

“Big word! Excellent!”Hi Ms Iza. We arrived last night from Baguio safe and sound. Thank you for giving us Fernan as our driver. Just want to express my profound appreciation for the wonderful service Fernan provided us. He was indeed an excellent driver and guide as well. He is very friendly, courteuous, patient, polite, helpful and even dependable especially when I had an accident of horse fall. He rushed me to the emergency in a nearby hospital to make sure I will be okay. Also, he never failed in assisting my Mom who has a disability. I can't thank him enough for the way in which he cared for my Mom for two days. Fernan is truly the best! My family liked him so much even my kids. He is an asset to BagiuoTransient.Com..His commitment to his work and safe driving made us so happy. Please convey our warm greetings to him. Thanks so much again Iza, for the wonderful service and for being so accommodating. We will definitely recommend you and Fernan to our friends and relatives... Looking forward in getting your service again soon.

Hi, so glad to hear your Baguio adventure went so well! I have passed on your kind words to Fernan. It means a lot to us all to have guests who are confident and relaxed with our drivers and services..... we really try to give all of our guests the kind of service that we ourselves would want! Best wishes from us all.

“Very nice and clean”1 person found this review helpfulReally nice transient home. Was there for 2 nights stay with my whole family and they all loved it last year. Price was reasonable, the location was decently close to tourist attractions. The owner was also very accomodating and checking on us regularly. I will not hesitate to come back and stay here if i have my whole family again.One thing that maybe can improve on is parking space, if you have more than 2 cars/van..it will be very tight and probably will not fit. Other than that, the place is awesome.

Hi Jay & Family.Thanks for the review of your stay in Baguio, always good to hear that guests were comfy, secure and felt right at home!Jay, each apartment has its own parking slot and if there are extra cars or Vans, then guests are very welcome to park in our private parking slot just opposite..... dont hesitate to ask. Til next time, best wishes from us & staff. Peter & Jhoie.

“Definitely a home away from home!”For the past few months, I was planning to have a family getaway in Baguio when we visited the Philippines from the US. Not knowing who to contact or who to trust, I resorted to tripadvisor for recommendations. For being a Tripadvisor Excellence award winner for 3 consecutive years (not to mention the free wifi, a must with my family) definitely caught my attention! I immediately contacted the owners Peter & Jhoie and they where quick to respond to all of my inquires. They were the best deal in town to accommodate our group of 13. I went ahead and booked Apartment 4. Due to a unforeseen event, I had to change my booking and the Peter was very flexible and understanding of my situation. The place was very clean and secure, staff was very accommodating to our needs, Peter even visited to make sure that we were comfortable. Definitely a home away from home, it had everything we needed. My only regret is that I didn't purchase the Baguio tour service that they offered, a definite must, especially if you are not familiar getting around Baguio like us. Overall, I highly recommend this place for groups big and small at a very reasonable price! Thank you Peter & Jhoie! Hope to see you again and get the condo the next time around we are in Baguio!May & Family, Bay Area CA.

The apartment is also located in a gated community with very good environment. The place is also accessible to transportation. The bedrooms are well ventilated but i do hope that the three bathrooms have exhaust fans, especially the helpers' bedroom. The blinds need changing. They keep on falling. One big problem is the internet.Inspite all these problems, we still plan to stay there next year.Thank you very much to Josephine and Peter for accommodating us.Special thanks to Rocia.

Apologies for the intermittent internet, we contacted Globe and they said they were changing / testing their tower equipment. Lets hope they have got it right now! We know how critical the net is to us and to guests, so we do everything possible to have it up to maximum reliability. The damage to the vertical blinds has been repaired.Thanks also for the kind words for our daughter in law Rocia, she is such a great help during these peak times.

It was huge and we fit in quite nicely. The location is also nearby to Burnham Park and SM. When Jhoie received us on our arrival, it felt like we were being received as long lost family :)The condo is not new but it is quite well maintained. They have sufficient beddings for everyone, WIFI and balconies for two rooms and the living area. Their living area even had a great view of the New Year's Eve fireworks Baguio is also known for. The cooking and bathing facilities are adequate and sufficient. WIFI was a little slow because we had a lot of gadgets using the bandwidth. Maybe an upgrade is required.They also have a little playground area which was good for the kids. We could also exercise there as it was quite lovely to be outdoors with the perfect weather. Our three little ones enjoyed the swings a lot. Too bad we didn't get a chance to use the BBQ pit in that area or the fireplace at the condo lobby.The unit is on the first floor, so there are no stairs to climb with heavy bags (except for the short steps into the lobby from the parking area). The place is very quiet and if you make some noise inside the unit, it seems pretty well contained (we had kids with us). Don't worry about parking, there is a lot!On the booking process, It was very straightforward with Jhoie. Even after the deposit was made, she was contactable via email and answered my questions very well. Closer to the date, we communicated via SMS.Since check in time is 12nn and if you made the early morning run to Baguio, try to have breakfast first at Cafe by the Ruins.

Our driver kuya Louie was very friendly but a bit shy at some point, he gave us plenty of suggestions to where we could go and what we should see in Baguio. We met the owners Jhoie and Peter who were very very accommodating and friendly. The apartment (1) was very very cozy and clean. Cable TV, WiFi fits all our needs whenever were at the apartment.

Apartment also has views overlooking the historical pine trees.Hosts also helped us with some of our other needs...car hire for the day etc.We very much enjoyed our stay here.

We love it when guests come to Baguio to celebrate their special occasions , best wishes and see you again! “Truly a home away from home”Reviewed June 4, 2012 for a stay in May 2012our stay in the Baguio Vacation House was one of the best memories we would ever treasure and remember for the rest of our lives. we feel that we belong. we can say that the place is very cozy, very comfy and very clean and neat. we really feel so secure when we were in the place. the people behind the Baguio Vacation House are truly accommodating and very kind. we never felt strangers with them. surely, when we celebrate our anniversary, we will again visit the City of Pines, and we will surely stay in the same place where we stayed when we celebrated our monthsary and post-bday celebration of my hubby. thanks to mommy jhoie, and daddy peter, the couple behind the wonderful Baguio Vacation House. We really miss the place and the couple as well... including the three (3) pups i love so much (hershey, pheto and kimmy)... hope to see you again, mommy jhoie and dad peter... we miss all of you and we miss the place...ValueRoomsLocationCleanlinessCheck in / front deskServiceWould I recommend this vacation rental to my best friend?

Just the Best!”Reviewed March 26, 2012 for a stay in March 2012My Filipino wife and family and friends have stayed with Peter and Jhoie several times. We keep coming back because they make us feel like it is our home too. Always spotless and beautiful, comfortable and relaxing. We always enjoy our visit to their beautiful home in beautiful (cool) Baguio. It is the highlight of our vacation in the Philippines. I will always recommend this accommodation to anyone. Give them a try if you will be in Baguio City. You won't be disappointed! Thank you Peter and Jhoie for making our times special with you :-)ValueRoomsLocationCleanlinessCheck in / front deskServiceWould I recommend this vacation rental to my best friend?

Yes “Nice Location”Reviewed March 26, 2012 for a stay in March 2012Took my mother and my entire family for a quick get away in Baguio. Found this very cozy apartment online and it was the best decision. It's very clean and the place was well kept. The owners were accomodating and friendly. What I like best was the location. It's very close to all the attractions in Baguio. It is situated in a very quiet neighborhood. The view from the terrace of the apartment is just exhilarating. I was able to relax and enjoy the bonding time with my family, most of all. For the value--I give it a 4 star. Truly Superb for the quality of the property.ValueRoomsLocationCleanlinessCheck in / front deskServiceWould I recommend this vacation rental to my best friend?
