Mavy's Maligcong Homestay

Wunderbare Lage mit sehr schönerTerrasse, perfekter Ausgangspunkt zum Wandern. Ruhig. Sehr nette Besitzerin.

Beautiful property, a fantastic host

The jeepney to get up is pretty brutal due to everyone attempting to get up as well, also very limited jeepneys

Mavy’s Maligcong Homestay is a home from home. Very friendly, incredibly responsive to messages prior to arrival and helped me find a guide for hiking around the next day. Very comfortable and the food is amazing, thank you Mary Lou! Great location too with the rice terraces of Maligcong right on the doorstep.

Prefer own bathroom but I knew I didn’t have this when I booked.

Sehr nette hilfsbereite Vermieterin; man darf ihre Küche mitbenutzen bzw. Man kann dort das vorab bestellte Frühstück/Mittag/Abendessen einnehmen. Sehr lecker. Gibt nur kleinen Kiosk im Ort. Also essen aus Bontoc mitnehmen oder man lässt sich von Vermieterin bekochen - sehr zu empfehlen. Auch für Vegetarier. Wir bekamen Salat frisch aus ihrem eigenen Garten . Schöner Balkon mit super Ausblick.

An/Abreise zeitaufwendig da Jeepneys nur 2x täglich fahren - wir waren aber auch außerhalb der Saison unterwegs.

The hostess was excellent and she and her family made one truly feel at home. The property provides excellent viewsof the surrounding area. The local rice terraces are only a 10 minute walk away. I strongly recommend this property

Malicongの棚田が見える清潔で静かな部屋でした。自然を楽しむにはとても良いロケーションですがBontocの町から思っていたより遠くJeepneyで30分くらいかかります。JeepneyもBontocから10：00、12:00、15:00と一日数本しかないので少し不便でした。オーナーはとても親切です。

部屋の前のトイレが水を汲んで手動で流す式で驚きました。

The place was great and the view was stunning

Everything was great. The accommodation was very clean. We arrived late, and the host still waited for us. There were toothbrushes and towels provided. The lady was very kind.

I had a wonderful stay at Mavy’s Maligcong Homestay. The place is simple but very comfortable, offering everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing stay in the mountains. The beds were cozy and warm, which was perfect for the cool Maligcong weather. I appreciated the extra blankets and clean linens—they made a big difference after a long day of hiking. Cleanliness was clearly a priority at Mavy’s. The rooms, bathrooms, and common areas were all well-maintained and tidy. The bathrooms had a steady supply of water and were kept clean throughout our stay. Even in a rural, remote location like this, the homestay managed to feel fresh and hygienic, which isn’t always easy to find in mountain accommodations. Overall, Mavy’s Homestay was both clean and comfortable, making it an ideal base for exploring the rice terraces and enjoying the tranquility of Maligcong.

None

With view and near the rice terraces. You can ask the host to cook for you or use the kitchen and cook your own food. Quiet place.

Very few jeepney time if you plan on commuting and no restaurants around.

A good escape from the city noise. Nice place, clean and the owner is very accomodating. Best to book on weekdays.

Mavy is kind.

Bathroom and the private room floor was not clean.

Wow, what a treat. Mavy opens up her whole home, with guest 4 bedrooms on the top 2 floors & western toilet for guests on 1st floor - everyone shares the shower room downstairs. Water is delivered in tanks so water conservation is very welcomed! Such a warm and lovely lady - I feel like a made a friend and got to really get a feel for the place 😊. Her home is 5 minutes walk to the magnificent Maligcong rice terraces where you can walk through to the other side and the local village proper… there are a small cluster of other houses nearby but that really is it (think nearest restaurants/shops for food/coffee shops -anything bar basic snack hit- back in Bontoc 1 hour away). If you’re lucky, you’ll see the villagers planting or harvesting etc. If you want peace and quiet/ or wonderful hiking in a rustic environment then you’ll love it. For food, make sure you let Mavy know a day in advance if you’d like her to cook for you (which was lovely simple foods) as she’ll need to get it. If you’d like to cook yourself, grab your food in Bontoc before you get the jeepney up, and she’ll let you use her kitchen! She also helps arrange great local guides - absolutely fab. You can do culture tours in around village proper or hike the local mountains etc!

When on a last minute detour to Maligcong while on my way to Sagada. Mavy’s place just listed on booking.com and probably the only one in Maligcong that offers single traveller rate for a room. There are many positive reviews on other platforms but not in booking.com. I called Mavy when I arrived in Bontoc just to be sure my booking was accepted as Ive never booked a newly listed place so far but this is a surprise. Ive enjoyed her place as it feels luxurious for a backpacker. Mavy's spoke fluent English, probably the best local I've met so far on my trip. Nice view on the 3rd floor. Got a guide for a hike and visited rice terraces. Has 2 dogs and a cat to keep you company by just chilling at her place.

Local jeepney frequency is low.
