“10/10 experience! I will definitely be staying with Vilma again. Beautiful and peaceful!!”
+Vilma's Homestay is the perfect location for visiting the Maligcong Rice Terraces. It's stunning. The rooms, shared kitchen space were beautiful. Very bright and airy with lovely wood furnishings. The bathroom was large; water was hot; toilet paper included. It couldn't have suited our needs better. Perfect!! Vilma is a lovely host- very kind and gracious and we opted to pay extra for home cooked meals that were nourishing and delicious.
−Nothing. I loved everything about the property.

“Peaceful place to stay in Maligcong!”
+The Vilma's place is very simple, but there is everything you need. Of course if you are looking for luxury place, it's not for you. But the most important thing is that you are among locals so you can see the way the people leave there. And Vilma is extremely nice, helpful and warmhearted. We were a family of six and she was cooking for us every day great food. Every morning the coffee was waiting and then during the day she was preparing delicious meals. She also helped to organize the guide for early morning trekking for the sunset and she did the laundry for us. We appreciated a lot everything. Thank you, Vilma for your kindness!!!
−Nothing, all was perfect!

“I'm going back for a much longer stay definitely.”
+Vilma Homestay have excellent and spacious rooms, the must-have water heater, a kitchen to try cooking some local produce, a quiet and very peaceful neighborhood, and the hospitality giving you the feeling of you coming home to your parents/ grandparents home. Ate Vilma prepared simple yet healthily delicious local dishes that I appreciate a lot as a tourist.
−None so far. The homestay gave me the overall Maligcong vibe and exceeds my expectations. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that I only have 4 days to spare and see the place. I should have extended my stay.

“Great stay 👍🏽”
+The beds were just right. Quiet unique location. Did the job for our group of 10
−Not really a dislike. But the host didn't seem to have our reservations for all of us.... group of 10 with 3 different reservations. But it was not a problem. She and her family had the rooms made up and ready for us in 15 minutes.

“Incredible days in Malingcong”
+Vilma's homestay was my best and favorite accommodation in the Philippines. Vilma is so nice, she really makes it feel like home. She's a great cook as well and can prepare meals for you at a very reasonable price. She will make everything for you to enjoy your stay. You have your own guest house where everything is so comfortable and brand new, cute and cosy wooden furniture, 2 balconies overlooking ricefields 😍 (picture 1 view from the doorstep) If you are looking for peace, quiet, beautiful landscapes and good food -->> it's the place for you! Malingcong should DEFINITELY be on your list to visit, amazing ricefields that are every bit as good as Banaue's. But there you will have the chance to discover an untouched nature and authentic charming villages. The view from Mt Kupapey is stunning, and was my favorite in all of Luzon (picture 2), go there for sunrise. All in all, I highly recommend this underrated barangay. If I come back one day to the Philippines I will definitely be back in Malingcong and at Vilma's. Bonus : on my hikes the cute dogs from the house followed, it was so nice.
